Im worried my mom has may be
suffering from alzheimers. Of course if I
mention this to her she tells me im a
hypochondriac. Which at times I can be
but its mostly just with her health
because im afraid to lose her and I she
doesnt really take care of herself with
checkups and etc. She hasnt gotten a scan
for breast cancer in 2yrs. It used to be
longer but I practicilly forced her to go.
Now im worried about this. She is 48yrs
old, slightly overweight maybe 20lbs. She
forgets things a lot. And asks the same
question over and over again. Last night
she asked the same question 3x in a matter
of 10minutes. She is under a tremendous
amount of stress. I dont want to,
however, chalk it all up to stress and
miss the bigger picture. She is just very
forgetful. Im scared. Her grandmother
(my great grandmother) had alzheimers. My
grandma and her mother is I think 74...Im
not sure. She is ok. But I heard it
could skip generations which means my
mother is next in line.
Help!
If I get anything definitive as far as
treatments based upon this disease model,
I will share then with you.

look into curcumin (a spice) for Alzheimers per this post Posted: 04-06-08 07:51am
Just watching Oprah( yeah i know) the
whole show was on brain health and brain
aging.
Apparently India has the worldwide lowest
incidence of alzheimers.
The doctor on the show said it was
thouight to be attributable to the large
TUMERIC in their diet.
He said tumeric is processed KER-CU-MIN.
that uis how he pronounced it.
Am i correct in assuming that he is
speakin of Curcumin??
if so, it further backs animals thoughts
on the subject.
Also they discussed russian Rhodiola, and
its positive effects on dopamine,
seritonin, and male performance. not to
mention immune support.
