The fact that I'm doing this already, makes me feel good. I continue to read and learn from posts on here.

This is a very helpful article. As a carer of an elderly parent with early stage alzheimer's I'm always looking for ways to help her. I found a wonderful resource, a free bonus book about Brain food, and it has helped us a lot. Changing over to a diet rich in omega 3, antioxidants etc is better for anyonel but there seems to be a lot of evidence that it does indeed help to slow down the progression of alzheimer's. That and doing brain exercises too. thankyou and keep up the good work.

I have been giving my mother turmeric supplements for over a couple yrs now. I just buy it at Walmart or a health store. It is relatively pretty cheap (walmart $7/90 pills & health store around $10-$15/90 pills). I give her 1 in the AM and 1 PM, her doctor is all for it & actually lists it along with her other meds in the chart. I also have her on an Omega-3 supplement every morning along with a Tablespoon of flaxseed meal, b12 sublingual & a mult-vit. I have recently bought blueberry juice as well. She has her good and bad days with memory and confusion. In the beginning the turmeric really seemed to be working and she was even improving on her mini-psych test that she was given each time she went to her neurologist. It has been 2 yrs or more now and just recently she seems to have declined a little. I intend to cont. with the supplements though because her doctor feels the turmeric has done alot for her even with the little decline. She is also on Namenda and aricept as well. I intend to get her on blueberry tabs also. She took them about 4-5 yrs ago and then they seemed to be impossible to find anymore. I'm sure they have them at vitamin shoppe though and I plan to get her started again with them.
