A question asked by UNHAPPY: What happened to David Letterman’s left hand? Looks like he also has a black thumb nail.?
On the show from 2-15-11 he kept shaking when he held his hands out, then he would keep his left hand in his coat pocket most of the monologue. Something is obviously wrong. Could he have some type of symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease?
No 1 answer:
Answer by Beavis Comeavis
He is cursed. The curse makes his thumbnails turn black, he shakes, and he loses his ability to be funny.

Question by JayJay: Does ‘dying of natural causes’ mean something like Alzheimer’s or heart failure or something?
No 1 answer:
Answer by Molly
Yes any disease or condition is a natural cause. An unnatural cause would be a car accident, falling off a cliff, overdose, being shot, eaten by wolves… you get the drift

A question asked by grammar_cleopatra: Can a stroke cause dementia? Would the symptoms be just like those of Alzheimer’s?
The best answer:
Answer by Kemi
Yes. See excerpt from website. I included the link below …
Cognitive decline related to stroke is usually called vascular dementia or vascular cognitive impairment to distinguish it from other types of dementia. In the United States, it is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer disease. Vascular dementia is preventable, but only if the underlying vascular disease is recognized and treated early.
People who have had a stroke have a 9 times greater risk of dementia than people who have not had a stroke. About 1 in 4 people who have a stroke develop signs of dementia within 1 year.
Vascular dementia is most common in older people, who are more likely than younger people to have vascular diseases. It is more common in men than in women.

A question from grammar_cleopatra: Can blood sugar instability cause dementia? Would the symptoms be just like those of Alzheimer’s?
No 1 answer:
Answer by onlymatch4u
Hypoglycemia is a problem that can give you similar forgetful problems, but amalgam fillings, mercury, and aluminum are far more problematic in giving people Alzheimer’s. Many people are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s that just have liver flukes. The excrement from the flukes will give people brain fog and the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
Fatty livers are a result of poor fat digestion and a result of intrahepatic gallstones in the liver. The liver processes about 3 pints of blood per minute and if it is clogged, both the blood and fat digestion suffers. These flukes can get into the pancreas as well and cause pancreatic problems that affect the blood sugar issues. In many cases, simply cleaning the stones from the gallbladder and liver can improve dementia and the overall health of a person in general.
good luck to you
