Alzheimer's 'runs' in our family - on my mum's side, the FAD (Familial Alzheimer's Disease) and appears to have a clear genetic component to it.
I have lost my grandma, my mum, 2 uncles and, only this week, my own brother - 59, to this disease.
Deterioration of brain functions involving memory can have many different causes, but not all dementia is Alzheimer's.
Although there appears to be still a lot of uncertainties and un-knows with regard to this disease, the slow developing form more often than not begins at an earlier age. For all of my relatives it started to manifest in their early forties.

Well apparently in a recent study 100 out of 100 alzhiemers patients tested positve for Borrelia Burgdorferi, post mortum. Some of the scientists studying this also believe that the plaques that develope on the patients brains are from Bb. Throw in flouride, aluminum, mercury, and whatever else the bugs seem to like and try and figure it all out. To me it seems fairly obvious, in light of the recent study.

- Alzheimers is just one form of dementia but they are all being misnamed under that blanket recently. Alzheimers cannot be diagnosed except by autopsy- we can guess because of the symptoms.
- There are as you suspected many possible causes for dementia
- Multi-Infarct ( series of strokes) is just one of them, drug and.or alcohol abuse being another. Head injuries in which unconsciousness occurs is another one. It doesn't really matter,
- what causes the dementia, be it Alzheimers or any other, the result is exactly the same. Treatments may differ according to the cause, but the effect is always the same. Dementia causes an erasing of the memory beginning with the present and working its way backwards. Multi-task sequencing becomes difficult and eventually impossible, communication skills are impaired, the ability

- Brain tumors can also cause dementia, some are operable, some are not, but this should be ruled out before proceeding with any type of dementia treatment.
