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.

Several months ago I read a story written by a lady pediatrician who's husband had Alzheimer's. She had done some extensive research in nutrition relative to Alzheimer's and found that in many cases the brain needed more quality fats to operate normally.She decided to try coconut oil as an supplement to his diet. After 3 or 4 months she noticed a marked improvement in his cognitive ability. He hadn't been talking for quite some time when she implemented the new diet and the first she noticed was that he began to speak to her again. Of course the progress was slow but the physician continued to see measurable improvement in her husband. I don't know what the eventual outcome was but this improvement alone would be worth trying her methods. I have discovered that there are many credible medical practitioners that have shown incredible improvements in many ailments when the proper nutritional support is accomplished. Drugs can be helpful but in many cases a diet of complete quality nutritional components in the right combination will often offer a better outcome and one with less if any side affects. It might even help Mr. Campbell. "Always do your own research) There's a World of information out there.
Thanks for posting this. This message needs to reach more of those who are ailing, because our family has found the truth of this firsthand with other serious ailments. As Dr. Sherry Rogers says, "Disease is not a drug deficiency", and all too often that is the fix…drugs. A carefully designed diet of the right foods (and all organic if possible) can often be a huge part of healing from even the more serious disease.
