www.alzheimers.org.uk This film looks at posterior cortical atrophy, a form of dementia that affects the back of the brain. Author Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with this type of Alzheimer’s. TRANSCRIPT “Posterior Cortical Atrophy, or PCA, is a specific form of Alzheimer’s disease that affects the back of the brain, the occipital lobe. This is the type of Alzheimer’s disease that the author Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with. The symptoms of PCA are very specific. Since this part of the brain is responsible for visual processing, people with PCA have difficulty distinguishing colours and shapes, they struggle to recognise faces and lose the ability to read. Often the classic symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, such as memory loss, do not appear until much later on. This means that PCA is often mis-diagnosed or only picked up in the very late stages. It is likely that PCA is more common than we might think since it is often dismissed as problems with eyesight associated with old age.” Please watch our other videos to see how brain cells function, hear what dementia is, and to hear more about Alzheimer’s disease, Posterior Cortical Atrophy, vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, fronto-temporal dementia and other rarer causes of dementia.

aluminum + Fluoride = Alzheimer’s and Dementia Fluoride “enhances the bio-availability of aluminum,” allowing it to cross the blood-brain barrier easier, thus making it more toxic. The following study is from 1998: IMPORTANT NEW STUDY SHOWS GRAVE IMPLICATIONS FROM INTERACTION OF ALUMINUM AND LOW DOSE FLUORIDE Research shows that fluoridation does not reduce cavities but quite possibly increases them, yet we fluoridate our water, then spray aluminum from the sky to pollute that water, the soil, and air. We unwittingly ingest this aluminum, take a nice cool drink of fluoridated water, and end up a few years down the road wondering where we misplaced our minds and health. This is a two-part mix that leads to a crippling disease. Our brains and nervous systems are under attack, and we end up paying dearly for the privilege of being poisoned to death. Insane? Yes. But very real. Whether you believe we are being subjected to an intentional depopulation agenda or simply hapless victims of reckless corporate greed, it’s happening! You can’t refute the facts. Aluminum + Fluoride = Alzheimer’s and Dementia. The combination is deadly. They know it, I know it, and now you know it. farmwars.info

www.alzheimers.org.uk This film looks at some of the rarer causes of dementia, including Down’s syndrome and Korsakoff’s syndrome. TRANSCRIPT “There are a number of rarer diseases and syndromes that cause dementia. People with Down’s Syndrome are particularly at risk of developing dementia, and they are particularly likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease early in life. This is because some of the genes that are linked to Alzheimer’s are found on chromosome 21. People with Down’s Syndrome have an extra copy of this chromosome and therefore an extra copy of the Alzheimer’s gene. Dementia can also be caused by a condition called Binswanger’s disease, which is a rare type of vascular dementia. Damage to blood vessels very deep in the brain causes problems with thinking and memory. Dementia also sometimes develops in people with HIV, Huntington’s disease and Korsakoff’s Syndrome, which is due to excessive alcohol consumption. The biology of these dementias is very poorly understood and for most cases treatment is very limited.” Please watch our other videos to see how brain cells function, hear what dementia is, and to hear more about Alzheimer’s disease, Posterior Cortical Atrophy, vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, fronto-temporal dementia and other rarer causes of dementia.
