Gargle:

This a very sobering and serious disease! As a US Veteran who was a pilot flying air rescue I flew many missions above 12,500 feet going from sea level to altitude. No opportunity for the body to acclimate and no supplemental oxygen as required by the Federal Aviation Administration or the US Army regulations. End results are 14 brain lesions. Over the past ten years, since they lesions were discovered, I have had symptoms and complications as a result of the lesions to include two small strokes.

Thank you for posting such an important piece of information regarding Alzheimer's.

I am not denying the it is a serious disease. One person who was extremely close to me and who was to me the Father I never had, died of it. His wife said that it wsa like a living death. Living with someone who most of the time doesn't know where he is, who you are etc., is not easy.

I am just fed up with being confronted all the time with the advertisment. Alzheimer's is not inevitable and that is the reason I posted the link.

Is Alzheimer's truly not inevitable? Your location says Spain so I don't know what type of advertisements you are referring to. In the US, the number of people contracting the disease is growing and unfortunately the silent beginnings of Alzheimer's contributes to the person(s) not knowing it is even in the early stages.

I did volunteer work for the Alzheimer's Association and also did work for a company that had five very large homes providing care for Alzheimer victims.

I agree that there are things that one can do to help reduce the risk factors of contracting the disease and if only one person and their family is spared from the disease as a result of the advertisements then they are truly worth it. There is no known cure for Alzheimer's today and a very limited understanding medically as to why it even begins. The advertisements will also hopefully raise awareness and the needed money for research to find a medical breakthrough that is a cure or at minimum can slow or stop the progress of such a terrible disease.

It is a devastating disease for the family of the patient!

It's the advertisment that appears on UHH every time I log in. As far as it not being inevitable, I suggest you read through some of the links I have posted. Thanks for your interest.
