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.

Translate the best science into guidance that lightens the load, strengthens understanding, and helps every person with dementia live with dignity.

Hello, how can anyone claim to be closer to something when they don't know where they are going? The word "cure" is not a clear enough address to start measuring how many blocks away we are from arriving.
If you don't know where you are going, if you don't know where you have been, if you have no way of measuring where you are, doesn't that pretty much mean you are hopelessly lost? Why do researchers keep producing hopeful utube updates if such is the case? More money, is the answer. Faster is their message.
Oh me, oh my, is my response.
My late husband was 48 when he came down with this . I spend over 70.000.00 for a nursing home , not counting money for medicine , pads , alarms for bed and wheelchair etc.etc. Is double now after 10 years . I was able to pay since we were big savers but most people can't without losing everything .
As researchers are admiting and supporting that social interaction, exercise, and diet can prevent AD and others dementia , at last they arenrealizing and admiting that vascular ageing it is the main triggers or the main starters of AD , and that the betamyloid accumulation. it is only consequence of the brain vascular ageing.
Based in the conclusions above , researchers could just now to stops with the wastes of grants in the flawed amyloid hypothesis and to starts to makes real research with the actual vascular triggers of AD and others dementias.
With social interaction, exercise, and diet being treatments for Alzheimer's, why do health insurance companies not cover these costs? If there was a drug or other in-office treatment, they would cover that. Health insurance coverage needs to adapt as the medical treatment adapts with new treatments.
