“People who develop Alzheimer’s disease get a sticky plaque in the brain called amyloid beta,” explained Kilham to Dr. Manny Alvarez in a recent Fox News interview. Such plaques either develop as a result of Alzheimer’s, or they are the direct cause of it. But either way, they are directly related to the degenerative process.

However studies show that turmeric actually eliminates these plaques, both when they are first starting to form and even during the late stages of their advancement.

“What we have in turmeric is something that appears to inhibit the development of Alzheimer’s disease…and actually help to reduce the occurrence of plaque in the brain if you have it,” noted Kilham. “We know in animal studies, when animals actually have amyloid beta plaque in their brains and they’re given turmeric root…that plaque is reduced.”

Observational studies have also shown that people groups who eat large amounts of turmeric virtually never get Alzheimer’s.

“In countries where people consume a lot of [turmeric], there’s a very low incidence of Alzheimer’s disease,” emphasized Kilham. “In India and Southeast Asia, it’s a rare disease. And [in the U.S.] it’s very, very common.”

allaboutalzheimers.org Alzheimer’s disease involves the gradual destruction of brain cells and this eventually results in sufferers losing their memory and thinking ability. Being a progressive disease, the patients will experience personality changes and will do less and less as it progresses. In the final stages of the disease, the victims are helpless, usually bedridden and cannot even feed or speak. As you can imagine, it is a challenge to take care of these patients especially for close family members. Though the victims do not experience any physical pain at the onset, the disease can cause a great deal of emotional pain to their loved ones considering that the victims eventually fail to even recognize even their loved ones. Alzheimer??s care thus deserves the caregivers to have patience and empathy for the sufferers. Alzheimer??s care for the sufferer??s should be geared to maintaining the sufferer??s dignity. According the book ??Alzheimer??s ? Caring for Your Loved One. Caring for Yourself??, the author Sharon Fish gives very practical ways of assisting those who are affected. She says, ??Find easy things to do together that are meaningful and productive.??alzheimersalzheimers sufferersstages of alzheimers

25 Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease Is it Alzheimer’s? By Kristin Koch Everyone struggles to come up with a name once in a while. But how can you tell if it’s more serious? “One symptom alone does not necessarily indicate that a person has Alzheimer’s or dementia,” says Raj C. Shah, MD, of the Rush Memory Clinic at Rush University Medical Center, in Chicago. (Dementia is chronic loss of cognition, usually affecting memory, and Alzheimer’s causes 50% to 80% of dementia cases.) There are many other causes of memory loss, including vitamin B12 deficiency, and brain, thyroid, kidney, or liver disorders. However, having several other symptoms could be a sign of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Recognizing the signs of dementia can help lead to a quicker diagnosis.

Maria Shriver and the Schwarzenegger family together at the Walk for Alzheimer’s pre party at Santa Monica’s Bloomingdale. The store gave the $20000 for Project 360 to fight against the disease. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger got there a while later. His security team commented on how hard it is to get him to places, specially a busy store on a Saturday afternoon.

The Susquehanna Valley Chorale commissioned composers Robert Cohen and librettist Herschel Garfein to write “Alzheimer Stories,” which sets to music the personal stories of Central Pennsylvania families impacted by Alzheimer’s. The piece features mezzo soloist Bonnie Cutsforth-Huber, baritone soloist (Ted Keegan, Broadway’s “Phantom of the Opera”), Susquehanna Valley Chorale and Orchestra, William Payn conductor. Dr. Payn ‘parented’ the composition through selection of the composer and by guiding the project from concept through to performance.
