One of the world’s richest people is devoting his resources to finding a cure to Alzheimer’s. Bill Gates said his $100,000,000 donation last year is just the beginning. See Alzheimer’s Advocate Maria Shriver interview Mr. Gates on the TODAY SHOW.

It is a place where we separate out the wheat from the chafe, the important articles & videos from each week’s river of news. Google gets a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every 7 minutes. That can overwhelm anyone looking for help. This site filters out, focuses on and offers only the best information. it has helped hundreds of thousands of people since it debuted in 2007. Thanks to our many subscribers for your supportive feedback.

The spice turmeric contains curcumin. In a UCLA study, curcumin significantly improved memory and mildly improved mood in people with memory problems.
It’s normal to forget things once in a while as the years pass, but how can you tell whether those memory lapses are a sign of something more serious — like Alzheimer’s?
For 12 years, a special program called “Dusk ‘Til Dawn” has been successfully fighting sundowning.
Visit Alzheimer's Weekly On
Alzheimer’s & Dementia Weekly was inspired by my mother’s journey with autoimmune dementia and my dad’s with Parkinson’s dementia.
Walking beside them opened my eyes to the confusion, the courage, and the deep humanity found in families and professionals caring for someone they love.
Since its debut in 2007, this site has had one clear mission:
to separate the wheat from the chaff — to highlight only the most essential articles, studies, tools, and videos from the overwhelming river of dementia-related information.
(At last count, Google receives a new post on Alzheimer’s or dementia every seven minutes.) For anyone seeking clarity or support, that constant flow can be exhausting and discouraging.
Alzheimer’s Weekly filters, translates, and explains what matters most, helping hundreds of thousands of families, clinicians, and care teams around the world make sense of the latest research and best practices.
This site is dedicated to everyone who works—often quietly and tirelessly—to preserve dignity in the community of people living with dementia.
With experience in dementia caregiving, public education, and Alzheimer’s-focused writing—and a professional research background shaped in what many consider one of the world’s top laboratories—I work to make complex findings clear, practical, and genuinely helpful for both families and professionals providing care.
My goal is simple:
Translate the best science into guidance that lightens the load, strengthens understanding, and helps every person with dementia live with dignity.

Alzheimer's is such a horrible disease! My mom just passed away in June after I took care of her for 12 years. I thank Mr. Gates for all the help he can give. We need to find a cure for it!
My wife passed away April 10 this year after coming down with dementia and then Alzheimer's. I had her on four different trials during the 15 years of her disease. She had 24/7 care at home with our head care provider having 27 years working with patients and the disease. To keep her from going into the embryo stage she received acupuncture twice a week. Also physical therapy twice a week and massage therapy twice a week. The Detroit Free Press wrote a front page plus story on Valentines day 2013 about unconditional love. We were in Maria Shriver's four one hour shows on HBO about Alzheimer's. Two things we can't teach care providers. Common sense and compassion. If I had to do it over again I would marry the same woman.
You're right. Corrected. Much appreciate it.
