Today I want to cover the ten warning signs of dementia, as well as some additional information about Alzheimer’s disease.

Top early signs of dementia:
1. Changes in language and communication
2. Difficulty navigating
3. Sensory problems
4. Constipation
5. Personality changes
6. Mood changes
7. Memory loss
8. Difficulty with problem-solving
9. A loss of awareness
10. Repeating things often

It turns out that the theory that amyloid plaquing in the brain causes Alzheimer’s may not be as solid as we once thought. But, other promising theories are emerging.

There is an alternative theory that Alzheimer’s is a lysosome storage problem. The lysosome is a part of the cell that helps clean up damaged proteins and recycles them into new building blocks.

The theory is that this part of the cell is broken. The process of the lysosome cleaning up damaged protein and recycling it is called autophagy.

Alzheimer’s is multifaceted. There are a lot of different things that can lead to this problem. If your parent or grandparent has Alzheimer’s, you could potentially have a weakness within your genetics.

This doesn’t mean that you will get Alzheimer’s, but that this gene could turn on, leaving you at risk. Thankfully, there are a lot of things you can do to help keep this gene from turning on.

Natural factors that help keep Alzheimer’s in check:
1. Change your fuel to ketones
2. Increase autophagy
3. Consume omega-3 fatty acids
4. Reduce heavy metals in your body
5. Methylation (consume B12 and folate)
6. Talk to your doctor about stopping certain medications
7. Get plenty of certain vitamins and try Lion’s mane (vitamins A, D, B1, C, E, and K1)

The Vitamin Deficiency that Mimics Dementia - Dr. Berg

[d.renemorgan]

I'm a bit older and a year ago I got diagnosed with dementia and they told my kids that I would never come out of it, after ending up in the hospital they found out I had a bladder infection that went septic. Apparently older women can get severe bladder infections without having any symptoms whatsoever. I actually have a genetic predisposition to improperly formed ureter valves so the urine can back up into the kidneys and infect them. All I'm saying is if somebody tells you that you have Dementia or that your mother has dementia, make sure you have them check for a bladder infection and make sure that they don't just pigeonhole her and put her into a rest home. Since my bladder infection and kidney infection was cured I am back to 100%, absolutely no signs of dementia whatsoever.

I lost my mom to vascular dementia. There are no words to express the heartbreak of seeing a loved one afflicted by dementia or Alzheimer's 😓

[BL-nojp]

I lost my father exactly 10 years ago today from Alzheimer’s after fighting cancer for 20 years. His diagnosis came 6 months before he passed. He was surrounded by family when the day came. We kept him at home. His mind was comparable to a 3 year old during his last days. He was pleasantly confused but he knew who we were. He became unresponsive and bed ridden on the day he passed. We were blessed we were able to keep him in the comfort of his home.

[clairehachey]

Dr Berg, thank you for speaking on such a difficult subject. I worked as a nurse in a nursing home and had many clients suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's. I fully understand the sadness and devastation of family members who have to place a parent in a nursing home. When my mom's vascular dementia progressed to the point where we could no longer take care of her, we had to make the difficult decision of placing her. At first, she kept asking when she could go back home. Just thinking of this is absolutely heartbreaking. We visited her twice a day for 2 years and it was a blessing to both her and us. At one point, she developed severe pain, elimination and dysphagia problems, and it was decided to start a morphine protocol. She slipped into a coma for 9 long days before before she passed. To everyone who has a loved one afflicted by dementia or Alzheimer's, I wish you strength and courage ❤

My Mother is in A Nursing Home with dementia, i cared for her for 8 yrs before placing her in a home.
To this day she is a very happy resident at her NH and the staff love her because she is so happy all the time.

[Techier]

I was an oncology nurse for 30 years.. I was also a home health nurse for a bit before that, and I believe that Alzheimer's is the worst disease ever! It's like the person died 10 years previously and their body is still working around😔

[akcalo]

This list is so accurate. I lost my mom to breast cancer but she also fought a long 10 year battle with Alzheimer's. I'm pretty short 4' 10" so I guess I can look like a child. The saddest words I heard her say to me were "Where's your mom?" 💔💔 Soul crushing.

[jondoe]

The fact that we get free videos on YouTube by Dr. Berg is truly a gift. 👍👍👍

[talori]

I’m a caregiver and I care for a person who has this. I keep her calm. I try not to pressure her or stress her out. I listen to her and I respect her as an adult.This keeps episodes at bay. We have a great relationship (most days).

This man is worth his weight in GOLD!!! Thank you Dr. Berg! 💜💜👏🙏

I currently care full time for my 87 year old granny who has dementia. She's just been put on hospice (last month) and it's just so devastating as the disease has taken over everything she used to be. My heart goes out to anyone who is also going through this situation.

[joesalinas]

I lost my mother to dimentia and it broke me. It never happened to anyone we knew or family so came out of nowhere. I blamed myself because I didn’t see the signs and if I had maybe something could of been different. The last time I saw my mother was right before the pandemic hit and it was tough. I was alone with her at the hospital and I begged her to say something other than yeah because that’s all she would say and she couldn’t. I just broke down crying and I hate the fact that was our final time together. She passed about two years ago and we buried her on my birthday which was another just kick in the face. Stay strong if you have a family member with this and just love them.

[Chris-vtnl]

My heart felt condolences to your wife but she's so fortunate to have such an amazing medical knowledge encyclopaedia husband like you!! I have been watching your life saving videos for few years now and it has completely changed my life to the best it could possibly be

[ThatFatMom]

Dr. Berg,
I'm 35. I can relate to all of these. One day I was driving in the town where I live, headed to the grocery store, came to a four way stop, and as I approached the stop sign, for about 30 seconds, I was suddenly overcome with immense fear, confusion, and panic as I had no idea where I was or where I was going. I just sat at the stop sign until someone blew their horn at me. I turned right out of pure instinct, and as I drove it came back to me that I was in my home town and heading to the grocery store. I don't know how people live like that every day. It was terrifying.

[Julie-honf]

I lost my beautiful mum to dementia last Christmas, the most cruellest of diseases robbed her of everything. It broke my heart watching her slowly being destroyed, and when she passed with me by her side the only consolation was that her suffering was over. I'm now nursing my dad through the same, life can be so cruel. I miss my mum every day and hold on dearly to my dad as every day is precious ❤

[Blueyes]

My 77 year old mom got vascular dementia. Got test scored 22 out 30. Doctor told us to due certain brain exercises. Retested 6 months later. Scored 23 out 30 . She got this condition from a mild stroke. Recovered very good . With help from my brother and I.

[lindagilmore]

Thank you Dr. Berg, this this information is so valuable to us those who have lost a parent. I lost my mother August 17, 2021 to Alzheimer's dementia and I must say when she was diagnosed with this horrible debilating disease I was so scared because it was very progressive. I immersed myself into everything I could find in books and on the web regarding this disease and I'm still learning. You provide so much information and I'm grateful. My mother's memory went fast, it's unbelievalbe to watch your mother the woman who raised you, cared and loved you to adulthood not even recognize you anymore. It's devasting. Thank you again for delegating your time to brining us valuable information regarding this horrible disease.

[Its_Renee_]

My Papa passed away 5 years ago on the 18th. It still hurts like yesterday and he had all these traits you described. Before the Alzheimer's he was funny, extremely quick and very intelligent. And I keep thinking I'm going to get it so thank you for this video!
