  • Until there is a cure, the best bet is prevention. Former CNN health correspondent Jean Carper recently wrote a book about 100 simple things to help delay the onset of Alzheimer's symptoms. Look it up on amazon

  • I just found out my grandpa, who I live with, has Alzheimers and it scares me to death and I will have to take care of him becuase Grandma can't , I'm only 14, and I'm super scared he will forget who I am. He is only in the beginning stages but I'm really shook up becuase of all the stories I've heard.

  • @Tr1shaHan3y

    Listen honey, I worked in a community of 30 Alzheimers residents. Don't you worry. If you see him and are caring for him every day, he will always share the bond with you. You have a beautiful opportunity to join his journey. Please do remember this though, Take Care of YOU. Every day. Make it a must. May you reap Great Rewards and find all the Support you need. Peace.

  • My grandmother (my mother's mother) had been severely affected by Alzheimers' within 5 years before she died in 1998 at age 83. The disease incapacitated her intellectually and physically. She couldn't speak, walk, understand what was going on, recognize familiar faces, dress herself, feed herself, nor take care of herself and function independently. She lived under intense care of my aunt and uncle until her death. Losing both her parents was very very hard for my mother to bear.

  • Memory Programs is a new activities program for seniors. Observations where the programs have been used have shown more engagement, less wandering, less depression, less violence, and more positive work environments with individuals suffering from dementia . Click my link to see a demonstration.

  • Here is a helpful program that observations have shown to reduce wandering. Memory Programs has designed over 3000 digital slides controlled by remote control. Observation have show less wandering, less violence, and less volatile behavior when used in Dementia Care facilities.

  • @austinsimson I'm a CNA and a Medical Technician at a long term care/dementia/alzheimer's facility. I LOVE MY JOB!

  • @makiatia God bless you abundantly for your service to others!!!

  • @PassionateJourney Thank you=)

  • @austinsimson Where was this at? OMG! I'm so sorry.

  • @rocketsfan34 I have no idea how to start one, but im in if u get something going let me know :)

  • Think of the underlying law of nature. The way of all things.

    Consider its astounding inferences and implications.

    The single, underlying law ... of nature! Not merely of physics, chemistry, psychology, biology, etc., but of all known fields of inquiry. The law we can all relate to, identify, understand and apply.

    Ask yourself. What is the underlying law of nature?

    Delight in the question. Have fun in the process of finding the answer firsthand for yourself.

    Google it, as a start.

  • I give credit to all of you who are caring for family members/friends diagnosed with AD. Im a college student and have been doing a large research project on the disease, simply because I did not know much about it. Through everything Ive been reading and learning, the disease is so difficult to deal with for both patient&caregiver.I think it takes TONS of patience and encouragement to get through it. I understand how difficult it must be for all of you. I will keep you in my prayers!

  • @xoxjohnnydfan :) thats a very sweet thing to say, can I ask what research you are looking into?

  • going through this right now with my husband. He has been diagnosed with Dementia and having tests to determine the stage and if it is Alzheimers. Setting up appts with nursing homes and assisted living facilities to see which one is best for him. I am getting to the point of not being able to care for him (he is angry much of the time). This is the "long goodbye" and the hardest thing I have ever done. Thanks for posting this.

  • i am now in this postion with my father in law.. but some family members are in denial .. they won't face that he has dementia.. i'm not sure it's alzheimers.. but he seems to have the main symptoms for it.. and he knows he's losing his memory.. we had to move him and mom to a long term care just last week.. i went through this with my dad about 3 years ago.. all you people dealing with this i support you wholeheartedly .. you're amazing people

  • I am a caregiver and I love what I do .

    taking care for this wonderful man is great, just not have a family and friends ( some) I just want to give it up......

    please some one give me some a positive words and God bless you.

  • alzheimer swine flu malaria and ebola hiv many kills my country is set to get swine flu cos our neighbouring country got swine flu and aZlheimer malaria ebola hiv

  • The best thing you can do to prolong their life is spend time with them. Music seems to work for my Mom. It seems that music keeps the mind working.

  • brain chip, CHECK MY SITE!

  • it's the 3rd leading killer in my country after cancer and heart disease.

  • I was going to type something here, but I forgot....

    O yea - Go STELLERS!!!

  • this isn't funny at all

  • this is true! my grandma has just moved in with us and it can be so depressive because she isnt the type that just sits down and doesnt talk, no, she is the one that need to know everything and needs to know whats going on she asks questions over and over again every 30seconds or so if only there was some way we could cure it it would be a great weight off our shoulders

  • Well there is a reson for everthing !! So why are all these people getting Alzhemiers ? it was said years ago when very few people got this that aluminum was the cause, now they are putting that in the skys with chemtrails, and its in the flu shots so now back to my question I wonder, why so many people are getting this >?

  • My mom was pretty young when she got it. She was only 53 when she was officially diagnosed with it by the doctor but by then it was to late. I would say she started acting funny around age 51. In to her 5th year my mom is showing signs of soon to be bed ridden.

    I hope they find a cure someday

  • My grandmother just got diagnosed with this. I saw the signs years ago, but didnt think it would turn into full fledged AD.

    So now im researching to bring things for a better understanding to prepare for present and future. I have to admit, coming on Youtube and hearing other ppls real life stories and circumstances is really heartbreaking.

    Best wishes to u all! :)

  • My mom has had alzheimers for 7 years. This is a very difficult journey for us all. Please enjoy the song I wrote.

  • It is the thing country songs are made for :)

    My Dad died last year and the full front of my mother's disease wasn't known to me until that time. She can't even work a phone now (when given to her she can't talk - doesn't know how). I live 1,000 miles away so don't see them often. It killed him because of his heart and she doesn't know who I am.

    thank you for putting your thoughts into song.

  • Being a caregiver is the hardest thing in the world. I can honestly say I didn't see much sunlight for more than 2 years until i got someone to help me

  • I think it would be interesting if old people got anti-Alzheimer's disease where they slowly began to recover other people's lost memories.

  • My great-grandmother had alzheimers and now my grandmother has alzheimers and it is the MOST devastating and slow disease ever... it hurts sooo bad that I cant help her. Please Donate!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree with padude please be patient with them if they had the choice to remember they would....

  • Ladies and Gentleman who ever see this comment, my grandma died just 2 weeks ago because of alzheimer's disease, alzheimers is probably one of the most or the toughest thing iv'e ever been exposed to ever. I hope that all of you who read this can donate to the alzheimer's association. this was a very hard thign for me seeing my grandma pass on.... so please everyone, donate PLEASE donate.

  • The Support Groups, Memory Club and Graduate's Club with the Alzheimer's Association, really saved my life, and my husband's life. His group all have it, and while they are together having fun, actually getting therapy, my group, the Care Giver's group, ...don't know how to describe. We cry, and talk and share. I wasn't making it without them. You people who share here, are amazing. I feel less alone. No one, understands this overwhelming, protracted nightmare. I'm helpless to stop it.

  • padude64, i would love to talk to you, my mother is in the "severe" level now...  shoot me back a comment and lets see if we can chat... love to all dealing with a close friend/family member suffering from this evil illness... tom

  • Alzheimers has to be the most difficult disease to live with because the agony of their suffering seems prolonged! You dont want to see the suffer! They suffer mentally, not physically which is a pure shame!

  • My friend is a little better but i hate the meds he is on which are aricept and namenda! My friend says he does not have Alzheimers!

    The meds are making him drool which is not my friend!

  • @padude64 ...just a comment about Namenda...it isn't good for everyone. I'm the primary care-giver for my father-in-law. He was diagnosed with AD about 12 or 13 yrs. ago. At one point, his doc wanted to try adding Namenda. After just a few days of it, he was totally incontinent (bladder & bowels) and drooling & "drugged". We called the doc & he told us to stop it immediately. Within 2 days he was back to having control of his bladder & bowels and more like his old self.

  • My friend will be placed in a nursing home! I am devastated! My friend is so great! He would give the shirt off his back!

  • I wnt to take care of my best friend and his family ignored him! How ignorant can you get!

  • MY best friend has ALzheimers and I live 90 miles away from him! HE is such a great friend and his brothers dont give a damn! I an the only one who cares! His home is such dissaray!

  • My friend was recently diagnosed with Alzheimers. I am losing my best friend and that hurts so bad!What family and friends need to learn is PATIENCE!

    I am going to see my friend this weekend and I will cherish every moment!

  • I lost my Papaw to Alzheimer's last January. He passed away 11 days before his 91st birthday. He had it for six and a half years.

    This disease is a thief. It robbed my Papaw of his independence and his life.

    Please support the cure for Alzheimer's! More funding is needed!

  • My dad just passed away from Alzheimer's Disease. These stats are no joke thats for sure. It is a horrible illness that demands more funding for research.

  • A really bad disease.

  • no tine cura

  • Thank u so much for this video, my aunt was just diagnosed with this.

  • ¿sabían que se halló la cura?

    googléen

  • This is a wonderful educational tool! My family and I are so greatful for all the help we have had from The Alzheimer's Association. My sister here on YouTube has some music videos about Alzheimers. CarolSueKirkparick

    Hoping to find that cure! God Bless, Sherry
