Dementia ” Lack of Oxygen Can Take its Toll!
I recently had a client tell me that her mother had been diagnosed with high blood pressure. She encouraged her to try my High Blood Pressure program. Other treatment methods were difficult as they involved daily medication or other complicated steps and her mother suffered from dementia.
While her blood pressure did go down, that wasnt the major point of her communication to me. It turns out that her mothers dementia symptoms greatly subsided once she started my program!
Dementia literally means, deprived of mind. It is a progressive deterioration involving function which affects memory, attention, orientation, judgment language, motor and problem solving skills. Like vertigo which is basically dizziness due to numerous causes, dementia is not a disease in and of itself but rather caused by damage or disease.
Dementia, which was once thought of as part of the aging process, is now thought to be a deterioration due to damage (stroke or other vascular damage, head trauma, alcoholism ” due to lack of thiamine and certain other vitamin deficiencies), or disease (Alzheimers ” the most common type of dementia, syphilis, Lewy bodies, brain tumors, Picks disease, HIV and/or AIDs, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Huntingtons disease and Multiple Sclerosis).
Common symptoms include moodiness, memory loss, and communication difficulties (including the ability to read and write). Due to the progressive nature of most forms of dementia, the sufferer eventually finds it difficult to perform everyday tasks and can eventually become unable to care for his/herself.
Thou this is not considered anymore as a normal part of aging, studies do reflect that dementia affects 1% of the population over the age of 60, and that number is doubling every five years after. I find it interestingly that people who are bi or multi-lingual have the tendency to experience symptoms on an average of 4 years later. Use it or lose it, definitely figures in.
Blood tests, CT, PET and MRI scans can rule out dementia due to certain diseases or injuries (stroke), however, many are required to take mental and cognitive tests.
A doctor should take into account ones socio-economic, cultural and educational background when administering the test. Just as many claim IQ tests are biased, it is sometimes not easy to know what normal is for a patient.
Risk factors include smoking and drinking (alcohol), due to the fact that it puts one at an increased risk for vascular diseases, which in turn puts one at risk for dementia. Additionally, high cholesterol and diabetes can contribute.
The reason for dementia is LACK of OXYGEN to vital parts of the brain, regardless of how it occurs (through brain trauma such as a stroke or Alzheimers disease). There are some types of dementia that can be reversed while others cant.
However, do not consider having dementia a death sentence, even if your doctor claims otherwise. New research is emerging on the effects of oxygen on already damaged tissues in the brain. The most important key is delivering the oxygen to the necessary areas of the brain. Worst case, you dont want the dementia to progress.
My programs are completely natural, relaxation and breathing exercises specifically designed to get blood/oxygen to your major organs, including the brain. I highly recommend my Alzheimers program (coming soon!).
