Some sane advice on Alzheimers. My review of the article.

Real Evidence for Steps to Prevent Dementia

Any number of people want to sell you magic steps to prevent dementia.
Lumosity had to pay a two million dollar fine in 2016 because it “preyed on consumer fears about age related cognitive decline.” But that hasn’t stopped the company. It’s just being more careful about falsely promoting its game to prevent dementia.
Nonetheless, consumers are still spending an estimated $1.9 billion on brain training apps. They’re also spending hundreds of millions of dollars on useless brain health supplements.


Hacketts article from Jan. 2016 confirms this event. 

However, if you really want to take steps to prevent dementia, the evidence is pretty clear. The best thing you can do is take real physical steps. Enjoy some healthy physical activity. Regularly and throughout the day.
Robust Evidence
For a very long-term outcome like dementia, randomized controlled studies are difficult. Nonetheless, the evidence for benefits from physical activity is robust. First of all, observational studies show a clear relationship between physical activity and better cognitive function. In addition, randomized studies show that physical activity helps with cognition for patients with dementia.
Mary Sano, an Alzheimer’s researcher, explained some basic strategies to the New York Times for protecting your brain function:
A lot of this boils down to common sense. Keep physically and socially active, eat sensibly, don’t smoke and don’t drink to excess. Treat your treatable conditions. Protect your head, which means wear seatbelts and helmets and use sturdy ladders. That’s because falls which occur frequently as we get older can be devastating to the brain.
So Don’t Waste Your Money
Brain training games don’t work. Brain supplements are expensive placebos. Staying active, both physically and socially, does work. So just do it.
It amazes me that Prevagen (from Jelly Fish) ads is still flooding the media.

  1. I have decided to make this post or testimony public. My husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s ten years ago. I loved my husband very much, and it was heartbreaking to have him develop Alzheimer's disease and to stand by and watch him decline in his ability to take care of himself, struggling with day-to-day tasks. It takes away his memory and eventually the ability to do basic tasks. Alzheimer’s doesn’t just affect the person who is diagnosed — it also turns your world as a caregiver, upside down if your loved one is grappling with the condition. To be clear, there is no pharmaceutical medicine, no magic pill that has any significant effect on the progressive downhill course of this disease. Not until we use an Herbal Medicine called BRONGEE that puts an end to it. He has been well and living his best life. While there may be other different options. Never make your own success path a secret. There should be no shame. Contact Dr. Rohan with dr.rohanronjohn@gmail.com, It may also help you too.

  2. Thank you for this article. My worst life experience was when I took care of my grandmother faced with Alzheimer's disease. This was emotionally draining because I wished I could take her pains away. I watched my grandmother gradually lose to Alzheimer's disease. When she stepped out for exercise, she couldn't find her way back home. On several occasions, neighbors helped return her home and some days; we had to call 911 for a search mission. We couldn’t find help and we lost her. It still breaks my heart to think of all the pains she went through and all battles with her OTC medications which couldn’t slow down her memory loss progression or cure the disease, but had terrible side effects on her health. Losing my grandmother to Alzheimer's disease wasn’t a pleasant experience. When my Uncle had the same fate, I sought an alternative from OTC medications. In search of natural medicine that could help him, I read blogs and followed comments which mentioned Dr. Fredrick treatment through Ganzino-Sana herbal medicine. I did not hesitate to make the choice, because I knew what my grandmother went through with Alzheimer's disease. He began the treatment without delay and, in 2 months of use; the result was excellent memory recovery! Here is the blog I found help www.ganzinosanaherbalmedicine.blogspot.com

  3. Make me a promise Bianca, my mother said. "Promise me you won't put me in a home or make me live with one of your sisters". It was a joke at the time when my mom was just starting to forget things. 06/08/2019 was the hardest day of my life. Watching my mom talk to herself, packing her things 2-3 times a day, saying she has to go home. It was heartbreaking. I broke down and cried with her a few times and then I realized how hard it must be on my dad too. He can't leave the house, he has to convince her that she lives in their house. I came to the decision to quit my job. My dad needs help. I live 7 hours away but instead of visiting my parents, I'll be visiting my husband. My mom has always been there for me and been my best friend so I want to be there for her. I keep telling myself that I can snap her out of it. I got her numerous medications including DONEPEZIL and MEMATINE instead of helping her, they almost destroyed her due to the side effects. As I was reading more about Dementia on the internet, I met with some comments of people testifying about Dr. Rohan and his BRONGEE HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS that it works for Alzheimer's and Dementia. I contacted the doctor immediately and explained my mother's conditions to him, he assured me that my mom will be fine and her memory will come back to normal. I ordered his Herbal Supplements and it was delivered to me here in Canada by DHL courier company in less than a week with instructions on how to use them attached in the package. After 3 weeks of using these herbs, we began to see improvement, after 6 months my mom was better, and it's been 2 years now and my mom is completely free from this horrible disease called dementia. In case your loved one is suffering from Alzheimer's/Dementia I will advise you to use BRONGEE HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS it may also help you. You can contact Dr. Rohan via email; dr.rohanronjohn@gmail.com and Whatsapp; +393512146722 to get yours.

  4. Having Dementia knocked my mother off her life and had her living like a mad person, I didn't know how the better part of her life eluded her, my mind was completely splitted in two, She showed a severe decline in her mental and cognitive skills in the last few years and her quality of life had deteriorated greatly in the past 2 years where she was mostly bedridden, she cry and sometimes she pack her bags wanting to go home, she keep asking after the dead. I am very glad my partner sought help and now she is free from all signs of psychosis. She was healed through the herbal medicines from Dr. Rohan (BRONGEE). I believe there is no act of kindness that is too small that is why I am sharing this testimony here. If you have anybody who is diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease/Dementia, I will advise you to opt out from western medication and go for BRONGEE herbal medicine. you will have every reason to be happy again just as I am. You can visit his blog to know more about this herbal medicine. https://herbalcureforalzheimeranddementia.blogspot.com/ or write to him directly on WhatsApp via +393512146722.
    He is well known for his groundbreaking treatments concerning the brain and kidney issues.
