The answer is still 'we don't know,' but we're getting closer. Alzheimer's is not normal in the course of aging, and it's more than 'a decline in memory.' People suffering from Alzheimer's, through progressive destruction of brain cells, lose the ability to think, reason, learn and communicate, and also undergo personality changes.

I still get a kick out of the looks of disbelief I get when I tell people that as part of my healthy, meatless diet, I eat cheeseburgers every chance I get. They tell me, "that's ridiculous--if you eat cheeseburgers, of course you're eating meat". Wrong! I had been a healthy eater for years, but when I took the next step and decided to go what I call "NMP" (no meat or poultry), I knew that if making that transition was going to work, I had to find a way to eat food I'd actually heard of and ...

Argh! Where are my glasses? I put them down . . . to do what? And when? As the daughter of an Alzheimer's patient, this inability to keep up with everyday items, like my glasses and car keys, drives me absolutely nuts! Absent-mindedness has always plagued me. Now, it keeps me anxious and guessing. Is this an early sign of Alzheimer's disease? Could I end up like my father, crippled with this disease? I decided to stop worrying about it and act! I searched the latest literature to see what ...

I'm surprised when some patients and caregivers confuse dementia and Alzheimer's as one and the same. Each time a family member is suffering from memory loss, the conclusion is always Alzheimer's. Is it reasonable to label all dementias as Alzheimer's? As a clinician, my answer to queries is that Alzheimer's dementia is only one type of dementia and that not all dementias are Alzheimer's. Aside from Alzheimer's disease, other dementias exist such as Dementia with lewy body, Vascular ...
