[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My other is turning 90 this week and going on her third year in memory care at about $11,000 a month. Fortunately, my dad, who died three years ago, invested in long-term care insurance that covers some of it and she gets nearly that amount in his pension from a large accounting firm. Fortunately for them, my dad's work terms were all pre-boomers ruining everything. Thanks to the boomers, nobody has pensions anymore. We all have to gamble on our futures by investing in the markets and hoping there's enough to avoid burdening our children. What's the solution? Stop taking drugs that keep your body healthier far longer than it was meant to, and longer than your brain. Once the dementia starts, end the statins, end the blood pressure meds, stop it all, and die naturally. Until science for the brain catches up to science for the heart, we should stop all the meds and die naturally when we were intended to. [/quote]

For what it’s worth, the newest research has clearly established that lifestyle interventions in the early stages of Alzheimer’s can slow and even reverse cognitive deficits. These interventions are of the type that would also in most cases get the patient off the drugs that manage their hypertension, T2 diabetes, and many chronic illnesses rooted in inflammatory conditions in the body.

Sleep well
Eat whole foods, minimal red and processed meats - ditch UPFs, soda, alcohol etc.
Exercise regularly
Manage stress with meditation etc.

Blah blah blah I know - turns out that healthy living is really best for the brain as well as the rest of the body. But the brain struggles to want to live a healthy lifestyle when taking pills and injections is so much easier.
