Dementias, Memory Loss

Dementias, Memory Loss
Memory loss is progressive with age but not due to aging.
There are plenty of nonagenarians and centenarians with clear
minds and good memories to prove that age is not the deciding
factor in the dementias. Why do some people deteriorate much
sooner? Could you prevent personal deterioration of mental
abilities? You probably can. You will know it by noticing
memory improvement. Telephone numbers that left you with no
recall, unless you wrote them down, number by number, now
form groups as you hear them, and you can jot them down the
way you always did! This is a good sign of memory improvement.
Your writing can improve. The jagged, crooked, misaligned
words can be smoothly written again! You can remember
things that happened earlier in the day and talk about it later, at
mealtime. You can finish your thoughts in conversation.

Mental deterioration of the elderly is not as complicated as is
generally believed. Although circulation and blood pressure play
a role, the effect of toxins is much greater. The action of toxins
is greater in age than in youth. The same polluted water and food
causes disorientation in the elderly when it only gives a young
person a stomach ache.
The liver's detoxification capability may be the real issue.
Indeed, the liver may age, in accordance with the calendar date.
Perhaps the liver is the only truly aging organ. It may even determine
your life span. The answer, then, is to stop giving it toxic
substances and shortening your life span.
As the liver is less able to detoxify them, common toxins are
allowed to roam the body with the circulation, doing harm to all
the organs. The brain feels disoriented or dizzy; there is memory
loss. At first, the liver can “catch up” its work and finally clear
the toxin for excretion. But, eventually, it can't catch up or keep
up. The body, notably the brain, is bathed in toxic chemicals that
interfere with its functioning. Now, the elderly person must use a
cane for stability, must walk very carefully not to fall, must write
everything down to remember it, calls people by their wrong
names, can't “find” the right words to speak with, can't finish
sentences, must write on a calendar to keep the days straight,
starts talking to themselves to help think of things, develops
tremors and unsteady gait, acquires a passive personality, loses
weight, gets stooped, stops reading the newspaper.
All these signs of aging (dementias) can be reversed by simply
removing the common toxins with which we are already
familiar.

Of primary significance are food molds. These cause brain
hemorrhages. Clean up diet, mouth, body, environment, very
meticulously.
Of course, an elderly person cannot bring these changes to
herself or himself. If you have a loved one with symptoms of
aging, and this person is willing to cooperate with you, you can
honestly promise them numerous improvements. Spend a good
deal of your effort on persuasion since living longer or being
healthier may not seem worth giving up a coffee and doughnut
breakfast. On the other hand, they might respond to the goal of
needing fewer pills, getting into their own apartment again or
becoming freed from a walker.

It's true that we have to die sometime. But why die before our
life span is up? If many people can live to 100 years, then surely
this is the human life span, not three score and ten. Some
scientists think the true human life span is closer to 140 years!
And that we all lead shortened lives. The shortening is due to
failure of some organ in us. Other organs are dependent on the
failing organ and begin to fail also. When the brain fails, death
occurs, sometimes in five minutes.
If we knew which organ is failing, we could come to its assistance
and prevent the collapse of the whole body. Often it is
easy to see which organ is failing. But whether this is the true
beginning of the body's problems we cannot know. Before death
there may have been appetite loss. Before the appetite loss there
may have been a broken hip. Before the broken hip, dizziness.
Before the dizziness a blood pressure or blood sugar problem.
Before these, an episode of “flu” or a dental “repair.” Sometimes
we know what started it all. But often we don't. Just make a guess
and begin somewhere.
