Each day, 1,232 people are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Each week, 8,634 people are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Every 70 seconds someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease….

By the time you finish reading this article a few more people will be officially suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

Here is a startling perspective.

It is not unusual for a person working on Wall Street (New York) to spend a total of three hours a day commuting to and from work. Many of these people live on Long Island, in Connecticut and New Jersey.

There are 180 minutes in three hours. There are 10,800 seconds in three hours.

While these people are commuting to and from work each day, another 154 persons are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

Each day, 1,232 people are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Each week, 8,634 people are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.

Startling numbers.

Alzheimer’s disease is a death sentence. Brain death. A typical person takes from 5-20 years to die. It is not unusual for the disease to take more than a decade to kill someone.

When most people think about Alzheimer’s they think about a person losing their memory. Persons that know someone suffering from Alzheimer’s disease watch them lose their ability to brush their teeth, take a shower, put on their cloths, go to the bathroom, and eat.

They await the worse day of them all — the day the person suffering from Alzheimer’s won’t know them. Or anyone for that matter.

Alzheimer’s disease is sinister and ugly.

If you don’t know someone directly or indirectly that is suffering from Alzheimer’s you will soon. It might have happened while you were reading this article.

It turns out  generally that whether a history of head trauma or injury is a cause of Alzheimer’s disease of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease is not certain or indeed uncertain by itself.

It can be pointed out that some published studies of repute suggest that head trauma that results in what may or should be considered  a loss of consciousness is a definite risk factor and factors into the risks of a patient developing Alzheimer’s disease.

Thus people who expose themselves to repeated head trauma or injury , such as you might find in the classic cases of boxers such as Muhammed Ali, who developed serious Parkinson’s disease – perhaps as a result of his boxing career, or football players can be said to be , as a result , at a higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease as opposed to if they had not followed their chosen career path or paths.  Regardless of whether or not actual Alzheimer’s disease progresses as a result of the specific person’s health and mental and memory cognitive skill levels-  many such people who are continually exposed to head trauma and head trauma injuries  do go later to more often than the general population , have incidences of difficulties of memory , concentration, speech  and other brain function difficulties higher than the general population overall .

Dimebon Alzheimer?s Disease

The second drug, Dimebon, is an allergy drug used in Russia 20 years ago. A Lancet [subscription required] article in July reported that over 26 weeks of treatment, Dimebon significantly improved memory, thinking, and overall functioning in 68 Alzheimer?s patients, compared with a 66-member control group. Although researchers don?t know exactly how Dimebon does this, it may work by protecting mitochondria?the powerhouses of cells?from injury, says Rachelle Doody, the study?s lead author and a neurology professor at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. A phase 3 trial for the drug began recruiting participants in June.
