    Thank you very much for this information. Alzheimers runs in my family.. My Mother and two older sisters were diagnosed . A third sister is in a nursing home in the last stages.. My older brother who is 78 was diagnosed last year. I'm 71 and hope to be the first woman in my family to beat it.. I am very active. I maintain my home, our finances. Thank you again for the wonderful information.. God Bless You. Shirley Looney

    I believe that with any infection, virus or bad bacteria, we should all consider the one item that literally kills all known virus s and that is liquid collidial silver,a recent patent in early 2008 has this product as safe,used now by the military in iraq for malaria and anthrax,congressional reports ok this.can be purchased at this site.www.shopnutronix.com/hiflyer along with proven vitamins and supplements that work.

    The article is helpful. It has helped me distinguish the difference between alzheimer's and ordinary forgetfulness. I am very forgetful and I thought it was the early symptom of alzheimer's. I'm glad it isn't.

    I used to be an aid and took care of people with dementia and Alzheimer's for years. The doctor in the article is correct. We all forget things once in a while, but when you suddenly forget your daughter's name and who she is for example, the telltale signs are there. I think this article will definitely help people who may feel they may get it, or have someone in their family who does.
