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.

How do doctors “see” dementia? One way is with brain scans called MRI and fMRI. Doctors also use these scans to help see if it is Alzheimer’s, Vascular, Lewy Body or another type of dementia. An MRI offers a photo of the brain. More amazingly, an fMRI (functional MRI) can give a 3-D video of a living brain. Learn how it works.

My siblings were just reminiscing about songs we would sing led by our Dad,as we were driving to our Grandmas house on Sunday afternoon. 7 of us are over 80 and remember all the words and the tunes. Good memories
So true. My wife, Sue, who suffered with early on-set Alzheimer's (passed in July 2015 – age 55) responded to music when nothing else. We played music all the time. It brought her peace and hopefully the comfort of better times.
RIP Sue – I love you,
Tom
