Study links high salt intake by elderly people with increased risk of dementia

A Canadian study links high salt intake by elderly people with increased risk of dementia, as the Daily Mail reports. So salt can impair brain power and memory, as well as increasing blood pressure, risk of stroke, heart attack, heart disease, diabetes, depression, arthritis, asthma, kidney damage, liver damage, most cancers, osteoporosis, increased risk of fractures and many other degenerative health conditions.

The good news is that if you have had your health damaged by eating too much salt, you can immediately, dramatically and safely improve every aspect of your health and every organ of your body by seriously cutting down on salt and salty food. - And if you are overweight or obese you will also lose weight when you reduce your salt intake. - Go on! - Try cutting down on salt and salty food! - You will feel sooo much better...(o:

Exercise may ward off onset of Alzheimer's disease brain changes

World Alzheimer's Day today

As it's World Alzheimer's Day today, I'd like to remind everyone of the recent good news about researchers favouring Vitamin B supplementation to ward off Alzheimer's Disease, and to suggest future research along the lines of finding any other nutrients that also would reduce the risk of developing this illness. But even before this, I suggest that it might be a good idea for (elderly) people at risk of impaired memory or failing reasoning ability, to have tests of their nutritional status, and to have any deficiencies dealt with. They would feel better and happier and become stronger and less vulnerable to falls, etc. And it would all be so much better and more positive and fruitful than trying to label/(libel?) them 'depressed' or any other label that rewards greedy GPs with even more money in their practice's pocket! I suspect that improving nutrition would not only delay/prevent the onset of dementia but also of many other diseases currently thought of as the diseases of aging but actually the consequences of sub-optimal or inadequate nutrition, or damage from prescribed pharmaceuticals.

Another suggestion I've made many times before is that there should legal curbs on prescribing pharmaceutical drugs. - 1) A complete ban on antidepressants would save a lot of money and a lot of suffering since they don't work even though many doctors like to deceive themselves that they do, and they very frequently cause weight gain/obesity/fluid retention/sodium retention and its co-morbidities. 2) Allowing only designated doctors (those with more than the usual rudimentary knowledge/ignorance of the sodium retention side-effect) to prescribe certain classes of drugs like steroids, etc which frequently result in rapid, massive weight gain, because the highly relevant fact is that these drugs also have dementia as one of their many ghastly side-effects.

Read about the anti-depressant, Amitriptyline and prescribed steroids and HRT and about vulnerable groups.

Researchers favour vitamin B supplementation for warding off Alzheimer's Disease

See BBC News report. What a refreshing change to have medical researchers speaking in favour of vitamin supplements! All too often doctors intone that a balanced diet should provide all the nutrients necessary for health and so people shouldn't 'waste money' on nutritional supplements, despite the undoubted fact that many, many people benefit from taking vitamin and mineral pills. Healthy, fit professionals tend to forget that others may have difficulty eating because of ill-fitting dentures, for example, or may have difficulty shopping for food or problems in cooking it, etc.

It is such good news to learn that here is a positive step that can be taken against the increasing scourge of this feared disease that causes such great personal suffering, impaired quality of life and earlier death, and great economic cost to the nation. In the light of these research findings I personally intend to take more vitamin B6 and B12 and I'll think about more folate. And I certainly won't be going to see a GP for permission/encouragement to do so! since I do not yet lack the cognitive competence to recognise good sense when I read it!

Avoid anticholinergic drugs like certain antidepressants and certain narcotic pain relievers if you want to avoid brain damage

Read these warnings about the pharmaceutical drugs that cause cognitive impairment, higher risk of dementia, Alzheimer's disease and other adverse side effects while providing little significant benefit to the patient.

Many years ago I was duped into taking anti-depressants and sleeping tablets to try to cope with the agonising pain of acute dental abscesses and other serious dental problems caused by negligent dental treatment. Dentists and doctors sought to cover up the sustained negligence by claiming that I was not in pain, but simply 'depressed'! Read more detail about this here. I well remember the adverse effects of these harmful drugs and how extremely addictive the sleeping tablets were. - They provided me with 14 nights of heavy, unrefreshing sleep but it took me eight months of gruelling determination to wean myself off them. Under no circumstances would I ever take any psychotropic drugs again.

The brain is not infinitely elastic. Protect it by saying no to pharmaceutical junk.

The treatment of Alzheimer's disease patients in UK hospitals is a 'disgrace'

The Telegraph reports that the treatment of Alzheimer's disease patients in Britain's hospitals is so poor that many relatives are driven to complain, and many more would like to complain. Some patients are going hungry because they were not helped to eat or drink and many are generally treated with a lack of basic dignity and respect. The Alzheimer’s Society has said that the situation is a “disgrace”.

Dementia is by no means an inevitable consequence of aging. You can reduce your risk of developing dementia or any of a host of illnesses commonly, but inaccurately, attributed to aging, by avoiding dieting, by avoiding taking prescription drugs unless they are absolutely necessary, and by seriously cutting down on your intake of salt and salty food.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, stroke, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs, hunger or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!

I welcome Dr John Zeisel's advocacy of non-pharmacological treatment for people with dementia.

The Telegraph reports that Dr John Zeisel, president of Hearthstone Alzheimer Care, an international provider of non-pharmacological treatment for people with dementia, is advocating a change of attitude and policy toward people suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. He states that his research and practice "has proved that non-pharmacological treatment of Alzheimer's, such as environmental design responsive to their capacities, caregiver education, and visits to museums with research-based selection of art works and specially trained guides, can be just as powerful as other medicinal treatments in reducing symptoms of dementia and the big four A's of Alzheimer's: agitation, anxiety, aggression, and apathy."

He is against dementia sufferers being confined to their homes, to hospitals or to care homes, and says they should be treated as and recognised as real people who are "still there".

This is surely the way to go, especially as so frequently in this country (the UK) psychotropic and other prescription drugs are often used for the convenience of the staff in old people's homes, rather than to be helpful to the residents. See the Telegraph articles: Half of nursing home residents wrongly drugged, study shows and One in five care homes lacks respect for elderly

You can reduce your risk of developing dementia by improving your nutrition and avoiding salt and salty food.

Treating Alzheimer's sufferers for a sleep disorder that causes heavy snoring can boost their memory, a new study shows.

Treating snoring 'could help Alzheimer's sufferers' memories'
article in the Telegraph

Extract:

"Scientists found that helping patients get a better night's sleep could help them think more clearly.

They believe that the findings suggest that the symptoms of dementia could be exacerbated by the snoring condition called obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA).

While it is unlikely that the problem is the cause of the devastating neurological condition, the lack of sleep and disruption it creates could cause many patients' symptoms to worsen, according to researchers.

The Alzheimer's Society called for further research into the treatment, which it said was potentially "good news" for some of the 700,000 people in Britain's who sufferer from the disease.

Previous studies have shown that sleep apnoea is more common among Alzheimer's patients than in the general population.

One study found that up to 40 per cent of patients suffered from the condition."

Snoring and Sleep Apnoea have a common cause, and that is obesity/fluid retention/sodium retention/salt sensitivity. To reduce the effects of that common cause and therefore reduce or cure snoring and/sleep apnoea it is necessary to reduce salt/sodium intake to a minimum.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!

Terry Pratchett considers that Alzheimer's disease is chronically under-funded compared with other conditions

Terry Pratchett condemns Government over Alzheimer's research funding
Article in the Telegraph

Extract:

"In a speech to Conservative Party Conference, Mr Pratchett, 60, will describe how he was diagnosed last year with a rare form of early-onset Alzheimer's and warn that the country faces a "tsunami" of dementia unless a cure is found.

While he himself donated £500,000 earlier this year, he will say that the disease is chronically under-funded compared with other conditions.

A patron of the Alzheimer's Research Trust, Mr Pratchett is not politically aligned, and once said he would like to: "kick a politician in the teeth" over the treatment of dementia patients.

In his speech, he will say: "I am appalled that research into Alzheimer's and related diseases, which affects 700,000 people in the UK, currently receives just three per cent of government medical research funding.

"Perhaps that is why, for example, I know three people who have successfully survived brain tumours but no-one who has beaten Alzheimer's."

Mr Pratchett has continued to write since being diagnosed in December, as well as campaigning for more help for dementia sufferers."

You can reduce your risk of developing vascular dementia by avoiding salt and salty food. This reduces your risk of most degenerative diseases.

Eating oily fish can significantly reduce the risk of memory loss or suffering a stroke, a study has found.

Oily fish can protect brain function
Article in the Telegraph

Extract:

"Consuming fish like tuna, salmon or mackerel three times a week reduces harmful brain lesions which can trigger Alzheimer's disease and stroke.

Researchers claim it could cut the risk of brain problems by 26 per cent.

But the study found that health benefits dramatically reduce if the fish is fried rather than baked or steamed.

Jyrki Virtanen, who led the study at the University of Kuopio in Finland, said: "While eating tuna and other types of fish seems to help protect against memory loss and stroke, these results were not found in people who regularly ate fried fish.

'More research is needed as to why these types of fish may have protective effects, but the omega-3 fatty acids would seem to have a major role.""

Keeping salt/sodium intake low is also good for your memory and mental alertness, and lowers your risk of stroke and of developing vascular dementia.

Obesity can increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease by up to 80 per cent, researchers have said.

Obesity increases the risk of dementia

Extract from the Telegraph:

"It is thought that obesity, smoking, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels could increase the risk of dementia by damaging blood vessels in the brain, which in turn leads to the death of brain cells.

Dr Youfa Wang, who led the review, said the results showed that obesity was more likely to be a risk factor for women in the matter of developing Alzheimer's disease, and for men when it came to vascular dementia."

Report urges doctors to stop prescribing harmful antipsychotic drugs to dementia patients.

Stop drugging dementia patients, urges report

Extract from the Telegraph:

"Ministers should step in to stop inappropriate prescriptions of powerful antipsychotic drugs for Alzheimer's patients, an influential group of MPs said today.

Up to 105,000 people with dementia in Britain are wrongly being treated with the drugs, which are used to control behavioural symptoms such as aggression, they claim. Research has shown that the medications have side effects which can accelerate mental decline, triple the risk of stroke, and double the chances of premature death.

They are intended for psychotic patients suffering from delusions, paranoia and hallucinations. Yet the drugs continue to be used as a first resort to address the challenging behaviour of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, according to the MPs. A report from the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) on dementia demanded Government action on the problem and urged the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice), the health watchdog, to carry out a review.

The report, A Last Resort, points out that no audit or regulation of such prescriptions exists. Jeremy Wright, the group's chairman, said: "Antipsychotics can double risk of death and triple the risk of stroke in people with dementia, (can) heavily sedate them, and (can) accelerate cognitive decline.

"The Government must end this needless abuse. Safeguards must be put in place to ensure antipsychotics are always a last resort."

I think the doctors who recklessly prescribe these harmful drugs in this way should be severely punished.

Drinking accelerates onset of Alzheimer's

Extracts from the Telegraph:

"People who have more than two alcoholic drinks a day develop Alzheimer’s disease five years earlier than those who do not drink, a comprehensive study linking the condition to lifestyle has found.

Those who smoke are affected by the illness two years earlier than non-smokers, while those who smoke and drink are likely to hasten the onset of the disease by seven years.

People who suffer from high cholesterol in middle age are one and a half times more likely to go on to develop Alzheimer’s.

The impact of lifestyle on the development and the advance of the disease, which affects more than 400,000 people in Britain, was disclosed in two separate studies presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology’s Anniversary in Chicago."

"Alzheimer’s causes loss of memory, personality changes and is terminal."

UK Dementia timebomb 'will hit 1.2m' by 2028

Dementia timebomb 'will hit 1.2m'

Extracts from the Sunday Telegraph:

"The number of patients diagnosed with diseases such as Alzheimer's will rise by 70 per cent to more than 1.2 million by 2028.

Experts warn that there will be almost twice as many sufferers living in nursing homes. However, psychiatrists and charities say that not enough is being spent on research, treatment and care. One professor said he was "ashamed" by the state of the services on offer.

Dementia robs victims of their identities as memory, speech and understanding are lost."

"In November a report by the Alzheimer's Society said that many patients suffered physical and mental neglect. Many residents were left alone in their bedrooms, while ­others were shouted at, or left unwashed, the investigation said.

Neil Hunt, the chief executive of the society, said the predictions showed the urgent need for a significant increase in services and research. "We know that delaying the onset of dementia by five years would halve the number of deaths from Alzheimer's. If we are to defeat dementia it is vital we invest in more research," he said."

Well vascular dementia could easily be reduced by curbing the reckless over-prescribing of drugs like steroids and anti-depressants which cause vascular damage, salt sensitivity, fluid retention and obesity. Similarly there should be a legal limit of the proportion of salt/sodium food manufacturers are allowed to add to their processed foods and ready meals: - certainly no more than 0.5g sodium to 100g of product. And they should, by law, HAVE to produce some processed foods/ready meals and bread with NO ADDED SALT WHATEVER for the people damaged and disabled by salt sensitivity. People should be told the truth about salt. - Our bodies do not require ANY added salt whatsoever, because we only need a tiny proportion of salt and that is already present in all food and in every drop of water. (Of course if you are taking prescription drugs they may have damaged your body chemistry and so you may need extra sodium/salt because of the wretched drugs.)

And dieting advice should be prohibited. - Dieting is unnecessary, ineffectual, counter-productive and harmful because it results in inadequate nutrition. All that is necessary to reduce excess weight is to avoid eating salt and salty food.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, vascular dementia, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!

You may like to consider eating more green vegetables...

Lack of folic acid dementia link

Extract from the article on the BBC website:

"Dementia is three times more common in people whose blood is low in folates, a form of vitamin B particularly found in green vegetables, a study suggests.

The Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry study followed 518 South Korean pensioners for two years.

There is growing evidence linking levels of folates - or folic acid - and Alzheimer's disease, though deficiency could be a symptom of dementia."

Brain surgery and memory recall.

Scientists discover way to reverse loss of memory

Extract from the Independent:

"Scientists performing experimental brain surgery on a man aged 50 have stumbled across a mechanism that could unlock how memory works.

The accidental breakthrough came during an experiment originally intended to suppress the obese man's appetite, using the increasingly successful technique of deep-brain stimulation. Electrodes were pushed into the man's brain and stimulated with an electric current. Instead of losing appetite, the patient instead had an intense experience of déjà vu. He recalled, in intricate detail, a scene from 30 years earlier. More tests showed his ability to learn was dramatically improved when the current was switched on and his brain stimulated.

Scientists are now applying the technique in the first trial of the treatment in patients with Alzheimer's disease. If successful, it could offer hope to sufferers from the degenerative condition, which affects 450,000 people in Britain alone, by providing a "pacemaker" for the brain.

Three patients have been treated and initial results are promising, according to Andres Lozano, a professor of neurosurgery at the Toronto Western Hospital, Ontario, who is leading the research.

Professor Lozano said: "This is the first time that anyone has had electrodes implanted in the brain which have been shown to improve memory. We are driving the activity of the brain by increasing its sensitivity – turning up the volume of the memory circuits. Any event that involves the memory circuits is more likely to be stored and retained.""

Alzheimer drugs don't delay dementia onset - study

Article on Reuters - Alzheimer drugs don't delay dementia onset -study

Extract:

"LONDON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Giving Alzheimer's drugs to people with early memory problems does not seem to delay the onset of the disease, researchers said on Tuesday.

Three main drugs -- Aricept, or donepezil; Exelon, or rivastigmine; and Reminyl, or galantamine -- are currently approved for use in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.

They are also often prescribed on a so-called "off-label" basis to people with pre-dementia."

Drug-pushing doctors are still plugging away at getting people to take statins...

Statins 'may ease risk of dementia' - Telegraph

Extract:

"Taking cheap drugs designed to lower cholesterol could reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's by 80 per cent, scientists say today.

Three million patients at risk of developing heart disease are already prescribed statins.

An American study found that patients on cholesterol-lowering drugs had fewer signs of Alzheimer's.

Doctors are excited that statins, which cost as little as 60p a day, could reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's by as much as four-fifths."

You can reduce high cholesterol by minimising your intake of salt and salty food. - This would also reduce your risk of developing dementia and of heart disease.

Sir Norman Wisdom: - Does the way he is being treated amount to elder abuse and denial of his human rights? - What do you think?

Revealed: Why Sir Norman Wisdom's family won't let his friends see him - Daily Mail

If it is the case that Sir Norman is unable to see his friends it seems a shame. Without access to friends, life is bleak.

Extract:

"As Sir Norman Wisdom sits alone in his spartan room in an anonymous nursing home in the Isle of Man, he must wonder how it has come to this.

The floor is covered in lino, the hospital-style bed uncomfortably hard. His furniture consists of two plastic chairs, a plastic wardrobe and a plastic chest of drawers. There are few mementoes, rarely any visitors, and little to break up the monotony of his days.

His own home on the island, named Ballalough – Gaelic for 'house of laughs' – is less than 20 miles or a 30-minute drive away.

Filled with memorabilia spanning his 60-year career as one of the nation's best- loved comic actors, famed for his cloth cap and his slapstick humour, it is here that Sir Norman expected to live out his days.

Instead, four weeks ago, his children placed the 92-year-old comedian, who is suffering from the early stages of Alzheimer's, in the Abbotswood nursing home in Ballasalla. It is a difficult decision for any child to take but in this instance the consequences have been particularly damaging.

For The Mail on Sunday can reveal that there has been a bitter rift between Sir Norman's family and his closest friends.

His neighbours and long-time associates claim that his children, Nicholas, 55, Jacqueline, 52, and daughter-in-law, Kim, 53, have secured full power of attorney over Sir Norman's affairs and are selling off chunks of his estate without his knowledge."

It's well worth reading the whole article and the many comments left by concerned readers of the online article. I do hope that something will be done to allow Sir Norman to have visits from his friends. - What do you think about what has been done? - Should power of attorney be more strictly overseen and limited?

Possible link between Alzheimer's Disease and Glaucoma

Glaucoma could be early warning for Alzheimer's - Telegraph

Extract:

"Glaucoma affects 600,000 people in Britain, the vast majority of whom are over 40. Sufferers gradually lose their wider field of vision, often without noticing. Alzheimer's disease, which affects 420,000 people in Britain, is responsible for two-thirds of all dementia cases. Most people with Alzheimer's are over 65.

Because glaucoma tends to develop years earlier than Alzheimer's, it may provide a useful warning signal.

Dr Cordiero, a glaucoma specialist at the Western Eye Hospital in London, said there was increasing evidence of a link. She said: "Normally the incidence of glaucoma is 1.8 per cent, but one study found it was at least 25 per cent in an Alzheimer's population."

However she said more studies were needed, and emphasised that "this doesn't mean that everyone with Alzheimer's will develop glaucoma or vice versa. Glaucoma has a number of risk factors."

Glaucoma is traditionally attributed to increased pressure in the eye, known as intraocular pressure. Traditional treatments attempt to lower this pressure, with only limited success. People with normal pressure can also suffer from glaucoma, suggesting it is not the only cause."
