August-September 2025: Life Without Alzheimer's

Listen to LM Notebook Podcast

Discovered in 1906, Alzheimer's long journey without a cure may be coming to an end. There have been some significant breakthroughs in diagnosis, delaying progression of the disease, and in special clinical settings, actually reversing Alzheimer's.

The International Alzheimer Committee met in late July, 2025, to update progress for what is now the sixth highest cause of human mortality. New Alzheimer's interventions were announced during this major event that drew almost 19,000 attendees.

This bulletin will deep dive into what scientists are claiming is "an unnecessary affliction" for almost half of all aging Americans.

Alzheimer's disease is the result of a complex of many contributing factors. A cure, or even slowing the progress of Alzheimer's, depends on addressing many underlying causes.

TESTING FOR ALZHEIMER'S

Anyone can get a cognoscopy test for cognitive decline. This includes:

•  Genetic testing

•  Blood testing

•  Functional testing

•  Imaging testing (if symptomatic)

Alzheimer's tends to be higher in some family groups. The ApoE4 gene is the largest risk factor for those who have two copies of the gene. These people should create strict lifestyle patterns. Regular exercise, watching blood sugar, cholesterol and inflammation levels.

The FDA has approved the biomarker blood test Lumipulse for detecting amyloid plaques in those with cognitive symptoms. This test is less invasive and more affordable than PET scans and lumbar punctures, which may not be readily available in some parts of the country.

Functional testing includes, metabolic, hormone, nutrient utilization, detoxification, oxidative stress, inflammatory, and immune functions.

Alzheimer's should be a rare disease. The estimated 7 million Americans with Alzheimer's are under attack by factors that are now becoming better understood.

New interventions that address physical and cognitive exercise, diet, social connections, sleep, stress, and environmental toxins, have the potential of giving us life without Alzheimer's

MENTAL FITNESS

Thanks to Brain Doctor, Dr Ann McKee. "This is The Fastest Way To Get Dementia", YouTube:

Dementia is an umbrella term covering over 100 mental conditions. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia.

About 50% of those tested over 85 will show the pathology of Alzheimer's. In spite of this, many within this cohort will continue to display normal cognitive powers. What can we do if some day, we are tested positive for Alzheimer's?

1. Stay connected with the world. Stay abreast of world affairs. Always know the current date.

2. Maintain daily fitness, both physically and mentally.

3. Challenge the brain. Learn something new each day.

4. Pay attention to your small blood vessels. Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol, and toxic substances.

5. Keep an active social life. Play games, do volunteer work.

6.  Get 7 hours of complete sleep.

7.  Avoid stressful situations.

8.  Get medical attention if trouble seeing, or hearing.

9.  Have a doctor test for adequate levels of vitamin B12 and omega 3. Also, a daily diet complemented with fruit, berries, and green leafy produce.

   
   

The above will help you maintain high cognitive resilience against cognitive diseases and circumvent those brain areas that may not be working so well.

STAYING ALZHEIMER'S FREE

We can't leave it to the health professionals to solve all of our health issues. Our mental health journey actually begins in our thirties, (or even twenties). We know ourselves far better than any health professional. Unless you hire them right out of college and internships, chances are you will outlive most of them.

Having accepted the fact you must control your own health future, the elements you must concern yourself with are these basics:

• Exercise is the elixir of life. It's number one health benefit by any scientific analysis. Mother Nature gave us a high performance machine that is made to keep running for over a century. Treating it right requires daily effort, because if we slack-off, the brain gets a message that we are winding down. From here on it's downhill, unless we take daily control of our bodies through a regular routine of walking, moving, lifting and pushing. This tells Mother Nature "we are worth keeping"

Just like your car, the body will respond to regularly scheduled maintenance, and give you back top performance.
