The Alzheimer's Project

Mirroring the thread from BUF (http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=185889).

I have watched most of the videos now, I find it's a very real and in depth look at Alzheimer, the causes, the consequences, the human aspect.
It is a special and at the same time heartbreaking moment. I would not be surprised if it touched some of you here on the forums.
It certainly touched me.

I strongly recommend you watch this documentary. Take your time, but make sure you give it some.

Here are the video links:

I didn't look at your links, I didn't have to.

I have family members doing research into this condition.

Zinc deficiency [ generally] as found by researchers at Greater London Hospital research facility. and reported in LANCET & NATURE at least 5 years ago.

Too easy to remedy,so little $$ to be made.

That's why the results have not been made open to the general public.

One zinc vitamin tablet per month to those over 30 could halt this.

Alzheimer's is a real bastard of a disease. Its really depressing seeing people you've known all your life loose there memory due to this illness. Ive known a neighbour as well as my Nonna, such nice people loose there way off life to this. Theres a point in there lives when they start loosing pace of time, then time itself then the memories start to go, that the upsetting part. Then they cannot look after themselves, and in the final years of there lives is spent in those ****edup villages where they spend the last moments of there life looking through some toilet sized window. Just an empty shell. The only thing you have left of them is photos, and memories, and thank **** i wrote down most of my Nonna's recipies years ago, then that would be more than a single life lost, but a whole series of generations of culture and heritage lost.

Makes me really ****ing mad that a cure for this disease hasnt been found earlier, it would of been found earlier or even a slowing down messure sooner if those ****ing **** hippies pro bullshit groups didnt restrict steam cell research, those stupid god bothering ****s do more harm than good in today world.

I just hope some sort of cure could be found sooner so other people would not have to see there loved ones go through this ****.
