Regressive state

On 08/12/09 at the Clara Mass Hospital during a conference when ask about Alzheimer's by Tom Thode from the observer newspaper Mr. Joseph president of the Mary Joseph Foundation reply, Alzheimer's is a thief it first robs the individual or individuals of everything then kill them slowly. Alzheimer's put the individual or individuals in a regressive state in other word it takes the individuals from an adult to a child in a regressive state in speech and behavior in this state the individuals cannot do anything for themselves, the individuals have to depend completely on their caregivers to feed and clean them, while they may be also in pain and cannot say.

When ask, what causes Alzheimer's he stated no one fully know but we can see inside the brain of individuals and the damage Alzheimer's disease causes.

In several cases I observed about 81 percent develop dementia/Alzheimer's. Loneliness seem to play a big role in triggering the disease more rapidly than usual...Looking at three individuals Mr. Carl Thomas. Tracy Richard and Ann Thompson, in each case shortly after these individuals had left alone to live on their own dementia came on rapidly then after a short time full blown Alzheimer's. Could it be the love, closeness and comfort they had with their wife, husband and children before which may causes the disease to be suppress.

What is Alzheimer's?Alzheimer's is a progressive, degenerative disorder that affects the brain, it damages the brain cells responsible for intellectual functioning in the brain, including memory, intelligence, judgment and speech ... Alzheimer's lead to the loss of mental and physical functions.

Today a rare and aggressive form of Alzheimer's can happens in some people in their 30's and 40's.

Individuals with Alzheimer's loose their ability to perform the basic tasks that are part of every day life and up requiring constant care and supervision.

Alzheimer's statistics

* Over 8 million people in the United States and well over 30 million world wide suffer from Alzheimer's.

*Every 22 second someone some where in the world gets Alzheimer's disease.

*The average course of the disease from the time it is diagnosed to death is about 4 to 7 years.

Remember anyone can get Alzheimer's, many individuals who get Alzheimer's disease in the third world countries do not have anyone to take care of them so many ends on the street and in homes for the insane and crazy individuals only to get mistreated by other people.

Alzheimer's cost

The national tab for caring for individuals with Alzheimer's disease is estimated at well over $100 billion annually, and by 2050 it will be over $ 450 billion annually.

Alzheimer's disease costs U.S. businesses more than $80 billion annually, stemming from lost productivity and absenteeism by primary caregivers, and insurance costs.

The annual cost of caring for one individual with Alzheimer's disease in America ranges from nearly $18,800 to more than $43,000 today depending on the stage of the disease.

Alzheimer's find out more

Individuals with early-stage Alzheimer's account for about half of all Americans afflicted with the disease.

Until recently, doctors assumed there wasn't much to be done once a person was diagnosed with Alzheimer's patients were sent home with kind words, drugs that had a mild impact on symptoms and perhaps some advice on how to deal with the inescapable changes in their brains and the inevitable changes in their lives.

Now for example, the studies in mice engineered to carry the human gene for Alzheimer's, one, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, showed that the simple act of learning could have a profound impact on the buildup of the distorted proteins that cause memory loss in both humans and mice afflicted with the disease, Scientists form that mouse that had periodically been forced to learn to navigate a maze ended with fewer plaques and tangles of protein than intellectually idle ones.

So far, there's no proof that mental exercises can stave off Alzheimer's, but growing evidence suggests that it might be possible to slow down the disease impact. This doesn't necessarily mean that the mental activity prevents Alzheimer's. It's always possible that the people with the healthiest brains were able to stay more mentally active. Still Scientists say, the research does suggest that mental activity might help slows the symptoms.

Today Scientists are saying information stored in episodic memory is like the narrative of a short story. This kind of memory depends on the hippocampus, a part of the brain hit hardest by Alzheimer's. The brain regions involved in another kind of memory ... procedural memory... are less affected by the disease. Procedural memory is what allows us to learn a difference subject or language.

Alzheimer's. As the disease progresses, it robs the individuals of their memories and changes how they both think and behave. It's ultimately fatal.

Experts in the field of dementia/Alzheimer's had a meeting in Washington, DC 09/16/07 on dementia/Alzheimer's disease and its coming destructive progressive behavior to so many worldwide...It is very critical for Scientists Dr. Thomas Hall stated from W.H.O to find a cure or maintain it. More than 30 million people today have this brain wasting disease and this number will quadruple, to over 130 million by 2050. By 2050 1 in 78 persons worldwide especially those in the third world countries who will see a rapid increase in Alzheimer's disease. The problem today in most cases is Alzheimer's disease is very difficult to detect until it has progressed from mild memory loss to clear impairment. Patients eventually lose all ability to care for themselves.

Who may get Alzheimer's

Experts now said those who most often are anxious or depressed were 40 to 50 times more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment, a form of memory loss that is often a transitional stage between normal aging and dementia. Not only are these individuals losing cognition, but they are showing many of the changes in the brain that associated with Alzheimer's disease.

In early studies, some Scientists found people who are more prone to distress are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease than their more carefree counterparts.

People with mild cognitive impairment have some trouble remembering things, but they do not have significant disability.Not all people with this problem develops Alzheimer's disease, a much more serious impairment, about 20 percent do, according to several scientific reports.

Questions ask by most people

1. How can we tell if memory loss is caused by Alzheimer's disease?
2. Are there any symptoms I should watch for and report?
3. What should I expect if it is Alzheimer's disease?
4. When should I come back for another visit?
5. Where can I go for more information?
6. If the memory loss is caused by Alzheimer's disease, which treatment is most appropriate?

Here are some of the symptoms

• Short-term memory loss, like repeating the same question several times.
• Trouble remembering easy words, like saying "that thing I write with" instead of "pen or pencil ."
• Not wanting to do things you usually enjoy doing such as cooking.
• Making bad judgments, like turning the heat up too high, leaving the stove, walking out into the pouring rain without an umbrella, forgetting where you put your keys, to eat, or giving lots of money to a stranger for no reason, getting lost.
• Extreme personality changes, mood swings and getting upset easily.
• Confusing things and people from the past with things and people from the present.

The latest test, and research suggests that chronic stress may harm parts of the brain responsible for responding to stress ... an area that is also associated with memory.

Studies have shown that while these medications such as Namenda and Aricept don't stop or slow down the disease, they can tune up the brain but they cannot stop Alzheimer's disease. There are no cure for Alzheimer's disease today on the market any where in the world.

We at the Mary Joseph Foundation are working with several organizations and doing everything possible to help find a cure for this deadly disease while at the same time we are helping patients who have Alzheimer's disease by giving them rooming, loving care, foods, vitamins, Memory Companion and removing them from the street who are homeless and from mental disturb homes and care for them. Our services are FREE.
