A Curable Condition which Mimics Alzheimer's Disease.
There are about 4 million people in America who suffer
from Alzheimer's Disease. That total is expected to
at least double in the next 25 years.
There are very few among us who don't know someone
who has Alzheimer's. Indeed, most of us know more
than one person who has died of it.
So the information I'm going to share with you may have
a profoundly beneficial effect on someone who is near and dear to you
In his June, 2005, newsletter, Doctor David Williams
reports that there is a condition which mimics most
of the symptoms of Alzheimer's, but is CURABLE. The
condition, known as NPH (normal pressure hydrocephalus)
causes spinal fluid buildup in the brain. This pressure
causes neurological prolems almost identical to Alzheimer's Disease: mild memory loss, incontinence,
a feeling that one's feet are "glued" to the floor,
and a shuffle while walking. In its latter stages,
NPH can lead to severe memory loss and mental confusion.
Doctor Williams estimates that as many as 375,000
Americans who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's
are suffering, in fact, from NPH, which is curable.
NPH can be treated successfully by draining the extra
fluid surrounding the brain. NPH can be detected through the use of brain scans or spinal taps.
If any of this information resonates with you, I hope
you'll share it with the families of your friends who
have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Please
give us feedback if someone close to you, discovers
that he or she has NPH and not Alzheimer's.
