Although it was identified in 1907, it wasn't until ex-president Ronald Reagan was diagnosed with it that the public took notice. Now; experts predict that the longer you live, the more likely it is you'll get Alzheimer's. 10% of people over 65 have it. 20% of people over 75 have it. 40% of people over 85 have it. That amounts to about four million of us. The symptoms are loss of memory, mental capacity and disorientation. Death follows diagnosis in seven to ten years. It kills 100,000 people each year - but only after reducing its victims to human vegetables.
You don't want to come within one hundred miles of this disease.
The good news is that 20-30% of those diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia don't actually have the disease at all. They have, instead, a deficiencv of a single, specific vitamin. When given a tiny amount of this inexpensive vitamin supplement daily they recover their mental capacities and return from the living dead.
Have you ever known an older person who was senile? Could it be that they just hadn't taken enough vitamins? According to Dr. Irwin H. Rosenberg of the US Department of Agriculture's Human Nutrition Research Center at Tufts University, "Much mental deterioration associated with aging can be prevented or reversed by vitamins."
In my next blog I'll share with you which specific vitamin to take to reduce the risk of you or someone you love from being misdiagnosed with Alzheimer's and how to reduce your risk of the real thing.
