Welcome. About this Site.
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.

I had my DNA tested in 2018, I am an Apoe4 carrier. I was not prepared, but I managed to move forward with the knowledge that I received. It has been 6 years since i rec’d this news and I feel better than ever. I always took good care of myself, eating well, exercising etc., but now I do even more to keep healthy. I will be 70 years young this year and I am empowered because I have this information.
I so agree with your evaluation of this type of testing. Currently there are no really effective medications for dementia, and there is no cure. What would be the point of being given this type of diagnosis? When we do have more effective treatments for dementia, it would make more sense to get tested and begin a treatment program.
