b. What this article talks about is prevention and dealing with Alzheimers.
Ways that are discussed in this article can also be used to help them interact
and cope with Alzheimers. Those are as simple as an A4 treatment, interaction
with others, and physical exercise. Engaging in any of these can help with their
memory.
c. My grandmother seems to have more memories whenever she is actively
engaged in anything shes doing. For example, about a week ago, I went to her
house to check up on her and to help her with making her bed. After I sort of
nudged her to come help, I got her to come watch and help. She even talked
about a time when she was sick and she didnt make the bed, and my
grandfather noticed.

b. This article from the New York Times talks about a research conducted
by scientists in which they tested a certain amount of patients. Some
were given Vitamin E, some were given selegiline, some were given both
pills together, and some were given a placebo. Researchers found that
those who were given either selegiline, or Vitamin E separately were
shown to delay progression. Those who took the two together were
shown to actually progress a little bit more than when there was no drug
used.
c. This is the method that I believe will work the most effectively. I
believe that Vitamin E brings upon more benefits to the daily life than
one who takes something else. I know that my grandmother is taking
some type of drug right now that has actually prevented her from
getting worse than she is and holding off the progression a little bit. It is
not stopping it, but it is slowing it down.

b. This basically describes sort of how Alzheimers patients are near the end. This is for
those who sort of need to find out how it will all end for the Alzheimers patient.

Some ways that are talked about is that they may forget how to swallow while
eating, or a stroke might happen.
c. I chose this because I wanted to just get to know more information. One of the parts of
grieving process is acceptance, and Im accepting that my grandmother is going
to go from Alzheimers. Im just one of those people who has to know how its
all going to end. I feel a lot better now choosing this to use in my paper and to
use it productively.

b. This was a follow up to an experiment. This tracked the progress that Vitamin E had on
Alzheimers patients. Patients were checked up on with physical exams and more, and it
talked about how a little under half the subjects couldnt complete the study due most
commonly to death, but also to withdrawal of consent, and adverse medical effects related
to the study. This could be an indicator as to whether this drug could be either really good
or really bad.
c. I feel like if we were about to consider medication for my grandmother right now, I
would say to put her on a Vitamin E regiment. I feel like over my research that this could be
the best thing for her. She would progress less and it would give a little more time to plan
for what would happen.

b. This talks about the benefits of the drug ashwaghanda. This drug is thought to cure
Alzheimers, although tests have not been run on humans yet. However, it was
tested on mice. The result is that after 30 days of use, the mice returned to
normal. This leads me to believe that this drug may have reversal effects.
However, since no human testing has occurred, I cant say much else.
c. The fact that an herbal substance could be the linking cure for Alzheimers is
extraordinary to think about. Im also glad that Dr. Mercola suggest other ways
of slowing down the growth of Alzheimers, such as Vitamin B12, Vitamins E,
D, and C; optimizing omega-3 fats, avoiding mercury, and more. This is a great
research topic in itself, however, I know I can utilize the information in here
already.

b. This article talks about what kind of activities you can do with not just
an Alzheimers patient in general, but also with a senior citizen.

Discussed methods in the article include senior centers, which allow

them to partake in stimulating activities. Methods of modifying their life
can include bill paying and lawn service. However, in personal
experience, sometimes you just have to go with some loving family
labor. The most important part of Alzheimers is that you do not cause
too much stress. The reason being that if an Alzheimers patient has
stress, they will have their symptoms worsen.
c. We already have some of these services in place for her. Every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday, we have a caretaker come and just get stuff done. Then on one Saturday a month,
we have a cleaning lady come over to help clean around the whole house. For financial
power of attorney and financial power of attorney, we have my aunt and uncles (including
my father) take care of these.
