Can Alzheimer’s be prevented? Some call prevention a false hope. Not Professor Gary Small, MD, Director of UCLA’s Longevity Center. If prevention means lowering risk rather than stopping Alzheimer’s completely, there is a lot of good science you’ll want to know. See research-based prevention strategies.
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.

2 studies connect Alzheimer’s to concussions, and lighter blows to the head to memory loss. How careful can we be? Just how much does it matter?
Damon McLeese is teaching Alzheimer’s patients to leverage their power to forget, by forgetting to “stay within the lines,” using graffiti. See Damon tell the heartwarming story of his latest collaboration.
Interestingly, loving care does not require twice the time. But it does require twice the presence.
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.

Why do you show video's that are old – for example the Dr. Small (UCLA) video I just watched. This video was made in 2013? Dr. Bredesen (also UCLA), did a study in 2014 that apparently stopped Alzheimer's in 8 out 10 patients in his trial and has since then progressed more (including a book that laid it out in late 2017).
Exactly!!!!
