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 families and professionals providing care.
Welcome. About this Site.
This site was inspired by my Mom’s autoimmune dementia.
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 site is dedicated to all those preserving the dignity of the community of people living with dementia.

Welcome. About this Site.
Welcome
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.
About the Editor
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.

Supplementing low testosterone with testosterone is useless in men with dementia folks. You need to add ZINC for both men and woman, as it is stored in male organs and stops UTI's, in both, but mostly because it is involved in the control of INSULIN. This is the reason why more woman then men get Alzheimer's. Yes, I have an above average IQ, but I am no genius, so why cannot all the gazillion researchers have figured this out already??
Could not get it to unwind, but what I do know is this. 126 drugs currently being tested, but they totally ignore the nutritional deficits, unbalanced sodium-pumps and so on. It makes no sense! There is clear cut evidence of "CAUSE" and "EFFECT". Focussing on Amyloid proteins and Tau is not seeing the "WOOD" for the "TREES" when my research is leading me to toxic thyroids and I suspect the cause will end up being the FLUORIDE that is added to our drinking water worldwide and to TOOTHPASTE. Add Statin drugs that remove good and bad cholesterol, yellow oils and spreads, lack of Zinc and Magnesium and all the ingredients are there to start the domino effect that leads to brain shrinkage and eventually cell death.
