In Alzheimer’s disease, memory for old events are preserved till the advanced stages of the disease. In the early stages, the ability to learn new things are impaired. Since the common man assumes that memory for old events are more important, some individuals who have Alzheimer's disease is not brought to the doctor in the early stages of the disease.
Even if a individual with changes in intellectual capability is taken to a doctor, general physicians with limited experience in treating Alzheimer’s disease will rarely make a specific diagnosis of this disease. Although awareness is increasing, many misconceptions prevail among medical practitioners.

Charlton Heston 1924-2008
Mary Joseph Foundation extends its deepest sympathies to the Heston family on the passing of Charlton Heston on Saturday, April 5. In 2002, Mr. Heston courageously announced to the public that he was suffering with symptoms consistent with Alzheimer’s disease.
Currently there are over 8 million Americans living with dementia/Alzheimer’s disease and that number is expected to grow to as many as 30 to 35 million by 2050. Alzheimer’s disease is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States and growing.
Researchers are close to developing accurate ways to diagnose and treat Alzheimer’s, but current Alzheimer's funding is nowhere near enough. Significantly increased federal funding for Alzheimer's research, education and care is imperative to reach the goal of a world without Alzheimer’s.
Estelle Getty Born: July 25, 1924 in New York City, New York Occupation: Actor: ... She played Sophia on Golden Girls from 1985 to 1992...We at the Mary Joseph Foundation are sorry to hear about Estelle Getty condition, for sometime now she had developed and been living with dementia and later coming down with Alzheimer's.
Brooke Astor (March 30, 1902 – August 13, 2007) was an American philanthropist and socialite who was the chairwoman of the Vincent Astor Foundation, in 2000 Brooke Astor was diagnosis by her doctor of having Alzheimer's disease...On August 13, 2007 she died from Alzheimer's.
Although there is no cure as yet for Alzheimer’s disease, a lot can be done to make the individuals with Alzheimer's disease more comfortable.

Hi there! glad to drop by your page and found these very interesting and informative stuff. Thanks for sharing, keep it up!

Some of the famous people were my favorite. I did know till now that they all were gone just because of this disease. So I think people should be careful and raise awareness so that the affected people can get alzheimer's treatment on time.
This is a great write up, I was also a victim, having Alzheimer's disease for many years. My journey and diagnosis with Alzheimer's disease began when I was 58 years old. My medical condition was heart broken. The first thing I did was get myself informed. I was subjected to different medications including Donepezil, galantamine, by my doctors for treatment without the assurance of having a positive improvement. Despite my visit to several doctors my health wasn't getting better. Also I keep thinking there has to be another alternative to address this, using herbal remedy, this information reinforced my original gut feelings that I should not give up. I decided to look for another option to help my condition. I’ve made many lifelong friends when I was looking for a natural cure for my ailment. To say it gets better is an understatement. I find hope in the darkest of days when I saw a testimony of people talking about Dr. Charanjit's herbal product. I started having series of thoughts, thereafter I ordered his product and started using it, to give the Alzheimer's disease an aggressive approach, the symptoms progressively got better.
Luckily, everything seemed to be okay after few months of starting the herbs, this was a pleasant surprise. I promised myself that I would stay strong. You sit living in fear of the reality what you may face, never really knowing what will happen until it does. I am indebted and decided to always share my experience.

My name is hoover, my 18 years old daughter, Tricia was diagnosed of herpes 3 years ago. ever since then,we have been going from one hospital to the other. We tried all sorts of pills but all efforts to get rid of the virus was futile. The blisters kept on reappearing after some months.

So I was on the internet some months back, to sought for any other means of saving my only child. just then, i came across a comment on dr imoloa herbal treatment and decided to give it a try. i contacted the him and he prepared some herbs and sent it to me together with guidelines on how to use the herbs through DHL courier service. my daughter used it as directed dr imoloa and in less than 14days, my daughter regained her health..

My daughter (Annabel) suffered schizophrenia for 5 years. I had no idea what was happening and didn’t know where to turn for help. It was hard then because I really didn’t understand the symptoms earlier until she was diagnosed. There was a time she decided to get away from everyone, I was not excluded. I had to sit and cry almost every day because I felt helpless as a single mother (she is all I have got). The anguish I went through taking care of her alone is beyond explanation because there was no support whatsoever from the dad or family members. I fought for proper medical care and humane treatment; I did everything within my reach to get her cured but all to no avail. Countless different medications was prescribed (Zyprexa, fluphenazine, Risperdal, quetiapine, etc.) that she was taking but all we could get was myriad of side effects such as rigidity, drowsiness, dizziness, tremors and restlessness which tends to worsen the already damaged situation. Frustration was the order of the day. I wrote a couple of messages to Ontario Mental Health Foundation for help because watching my daughter go through such was devastating. It was at this foundation someone shared a testimony about DR Sunday herbal medicine, how effective it is and how she went through the most difficult times of her life trying to help her mom fight Schizophrenia. Being that I was already at the verge of giving up because I just couldn't imagine waking up every morning to fight the same demons that left me so tired the night before. I had to contact the doctor,on his email (drsundayherbalcenter@gmail.com) from our conversations; I was relieved and convinced that the result is going to be positive because I was made to contact people with worse cases. Today, the awful situation of my daughter has gone by. Her happy life is back. She is now a schizophrenia survivor and I am glad because my daily routine activities can now kick off without obstructions. Don't let Schizophrenia hinder you from living a desired life and also, never allow anyone to decide for you especially when they don't know what you have to go through to get to where you are. I was almost discouraged by the doctor but then, I remembered that: I have to shield my daughter’s destiny with courage, faith and perseverance because she is not in her right state of mind and that the bravery and freedom from fear is found in the ‘doing’. Her life is now a testimony. After my daughter got cured,from the herbal mix medicine Dr Sunday prepared and sent to me, she said, Mom “I just thought, ‘Well, I’m a weirdo, I’ll never be normal, then I said, my daughter, life itself is a misery and we get stronger in the places we have been broken. Thanks to you Dr. Sunday for your excellent counseling, no more psychotic symptoms for the past 3 years and 4 months now.
