God only gives alzheimer’s to people that deserve it.
They are liars, deceivers, racists, rapists, and murders. They deserve much more than this for what they’ve done, but they won’t find that out because they’ll forget.
My phone is 231-893-3105 if you ever wanna chat.
Well, there are more people that finish grade school than there are that go to college so that study doesn’t seem that reliable…
That was a good explanation though. Very useful and interesting.

Love Kojak
what about snowden’s study of the nuns? didn’t he say after that a significant number of nuns had the disease (after autopsies) but did not display any manifestations of it while they were alive? those nuns were very active, physically and mentally.
why always put it on the genes? Our genes have changed significantly over the last few hundreds years. If your assumption is true, which is genes will run through family, then how can you explain human has changed through time?
only 5% of Alzheimer’s disease is familial. all other cases are sporadic. of course there are genetic determinants on whether or not an individual will have alzheimer’s late in life. you can improve your chances of maintaining a healthy nervous system by eating healthy and exercising (physical as well as cognitive faculties). For example, It is well documented how the incidence of AD is lower in people who continue with advanced studies.
Loved the talk, not the commentary. Some of you here seem to believe that you can explain away Alzheimer’s with practical steps towards mental health. BS! No matter what you do, if your genetically marked for the disease, you will get it! The most you can hope for in this case is a later onset. We need to focus on a cure or treatment, not just blindly hopeful preventative measures or explanations of cause.
i think we have to educate ourselves about our environment and what we put into our bodies (i have to say i am not perfect myself but i try may best)
i think we should encourage small farmers to grow organic they tend to be more honest and careing
it is these big business that only care about profits and remove the compassion and love out of the art of farming
business means business it is without love and compassion
food grown with love and compassion is healthy
Quite true. You have to wonder about the levels of Organics. Is organic beef fed organic grass, which in turn is fed organic fertilizer harvested from organically fed animals?
it is not easy
look it all the chemicals in our foods from
plastic containers etc…
we may live longer bit with chronic conditions
He also mentions that people with who develop more neurons through learning have better armor against dementia — education can’t last forever, so what is a way to live in which you develop the highest number of neurons without receiving other adverse affects?
free the nerveous system
nutrition
education
chiropractic care
that is how
