The Need for Oxygen Can Take its Toll! – Dementia

Recently, I had a client tell me her mother had been diagnosed with high blood pressure. She encouraged her mother to try my High Blood Pressure program. Other treatment methods were difficult since they involved daily medication or other complicated steps and her mother suffered from dementia.

While her blood pressure did go down, that wasnt the major point of her communication to me. It turns out that her mothers dementia symptoms greatly subsided once she started my program!

Dementia literally means, deprived of mind. It is a progressive decline in cognitive function which affects memory, attention, orientation, judgment language, motor and problem solving skills. Like vertigo is basically dizziness due to a myriad of causes, dementia is not a disease in and of itself but rather caused by damage or disease.

Once thought of as part of the aging process, dementia is now thought to be a deterioration due to damage (stroke or other vascular damage, head trauma, alcoholism ” due to lack of thiamine and certain other vitamin deficiencies), or disease (Alzheimers ” the most common type of dementia, syphilis, Lewy bodies, brain tumors, Picks disease, HIV and/or AIDs, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Huntingtons disease and Multiple Sclerosis).

Common symptoms include moodiness, memory loss, and communication difficulties (including the ability to read and write). Due to the progressive nature of most forms of dementia, the sufferer eventually finds it difficult to perform everyday tasks and can eventually become unable to care for his/herself.

While no longer considered a normal part of aging, studies show dementia affects 1% of the population over the age of 60, and that this number is doubling every five years after that age. Use it or lose it, definitely figures in. It is interestingly to note that those who are bi or multi-lingual tend to experience symptoms on an average of 4 years later.

Dementia can be dismissed from consideration through Blood tests, CT, PET and MRI scans due to certain diseases or injuries (stroke). However, for many, mental and cognitive tests are required.

Ones socio-economic, cultural and educational background when administering the test must also be taken into account. Just as many claim IQ tests are biased, it sometimes can be difficult to know what normal is for a patient.

Risk factors include smoking and drinking (alcohol), due to the fact that it puts you at an increased risk for vascular diseases, which in turn puts you at risk for dementia. High cholesterol and diabetes can also contribute.

Regardless of how the dementia occurs, whether it is through brain trauma such as stroke or Alzheimers disease, the reason for the dementia is LACK of OXYGEN to vital parts of the brain. Some types of dementia can be reversed while others cant.

However, do not consider having dementia a death sentence, even if your doctor claims otherwise. New research is emerging on the effects of oxygen on already damaged tissues in the brain. The most important key is delivering the oxygen to the necessary areas of the brain. Worst case, you dont want the dementia to progress.

I highly recommend my programs due to the fact that they are completely natural, relaxation and breathing exercises specifically designed to get blood/oxygen to your major organs, including the brain. My Alzheimers program is coming soon!.
