Are you worried about the development of Alzheimer's?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yes, have history. I’m not overly concerned, I do plan to keep exercising the gray matter in hopes that Alz needs a sitting duck to target rather than a moving cell. Some forms of Alz I actually embrace, we have had friends that developed dementia. We never knew where in the world, or time, they may be when we visited, we always visited them where they were in their mind and had a good visit. At that stage of life, the thought of living a dream is not unattractive. You are where your mind takes you, and most generally it’s a better place than your body presently resides.
