Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s is a constant disease that is not solved for how to slow it down. This disease

can cause families to have a bad life trying to deal with something like that. It is a type of disease

that affects movement and function of the brain and the memory. It is a long-term version of

Dementia. It has three stages that are very difficult as its progresses to deal with. The disease

started back in Germany around the 1900’s. A woman around fifty years-old was diagnosed with

and suffered a rare brain disorder. Dr. Alois Alzheimer had a patient who was experiencing

memory loss, paranoia and psychological changes. Alzheimer’s disease has been a problem since

the 1900’s and is still a considered to be very stressful and very dangerous to those who are

diagnosed with it. The cause for Alzheimer’s/Dementia was not considered a disease back then

but a disorder in the brain.

In another case, Alzheimer’s disease isn’t really a big deal like cerebrovascular disease,

solving this would be easier. Therefore, Alzheimer’s is just a fancy way of saying you have

Dementia but worse. Besides, Alzheimer’s can make people forgetful, but can it really cause

harm to someone. I believe that they will have a type of pill or something that can slow it down

to a point to where it is not there. To where trying to stop it is just not working but slowing it

down will work just as well. That those who have Alzheimer's will have a chance to live the rest

of their life and see things that will happen. To find a faster solution to Alzheimer’s disease and

stop some of the affect's families all over the world. To figure out where it starts and put a stop to

it before it spreads. If it spread throughout the rest of the brain it will not stop and the pain of it

will slowly start to slow. That Alzheimer’s disease needs to be slowed down to a point to where

it does not show, and no family must see or feel pain.

Alzheimer’s disease is important and should be focused on. It has put many people in

pain. The stress behind Alzheimer’s is put those who have in a situation to where they cannot

function by themselves. Alzheimer’s disease can be slowed down at the source, but you must

find where it is. If it is Alzheimer’s the symptoms will show and that’s when things get tough.”

In the past, the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease could only be suggested according to clinical

symptoms” (Verité 2018). Those symptoms were based off what they saw was happening to the

patient. They would be seeing their movements slowly be forgotten, their manners would be out

of whack and their body language would change. Most sources are the inflammation in the brain

that causes Alzheimer’s disease to happen. It is what will cause the disease to start.” it is now

widely accepted that inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis AD.” (Verité

2018). It does play an important role because it causes most of the symptoms to happen. They

happen for a reason and the inflammation is the main cause for Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s disease

is something that should be focused on. It can and will tear families apart. It makes the person

who has it feel like they did something wrong but thy could not avoid it.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia may seem the same but is different in many ways.

Alzheimer’s disease is a longer more devastating type of dementia that makes people's lives

more struggling than others. The test will provide evidence in where to locate the source of

Alzheimer’s. They will provide tests to see how long they have till it starts. “The results of these

test hype not been demonstrated to cause significant emotional harm to subjects” (Hane 2018).

This is because the harm is already being done to the patient's memory. This will not harm
 Oliva 3

anything but slowdown the process of AD. Different data lens shows how the rest of AD will be.

It will show how can form and be dealt with. “A number of the other reports have successfully

demonstrated the use of various data to predict the onset of AD” (Hane 2018). This will provide

proof of how AD will start and can be slowed down. By providing time to those who have AD

will be ready to have their memory. Ad is a very concerning type of disease that will make

people think about it. A type of disease that can make a person think.

Alzheimer’s disease can change an entire family within an instant. Finding where it hides

to stop it and make sure it does not come back. The studies of the central parenchyma brain will

conclude on their expressions. Peoples expression come and go but, when they do not return

things can go bad. “Most studies focus on their production data central level in the parenchyma

brain by measuring their expression” (Verité 2018). The expression of what is being shown can

tell what process the patient is at. Expressions are very useful to show what stage they are at. The

probabilities of the factors will show long AD will show up. When it does, they will have the

ability to stop it before it starts. "A number of factors have been demonstrated to affect the

probability of AD and the age of onset” (Hane 2018). This will affect what stage will start at

instead of at 15 years-old. This will make it not start till 80 or older, so they have a chance to

remember those memories that will be lost. The affects and stages of Alzheimer’s that put people

in danger stage three of Alzheimer’s. When everything starts to shut down and they need help to

do everything they usually do daily.

Alzheimer’s disease is not very important and should not be focused on. Those who are

being affected are those who are elderly. Some people might say that the cost to let those know

about who has Alzheimer’s is a lot of money. Those afflicted by this in neighborhoods can cause

people to not have the to pay their bills.” Costs Americans in the neighborhood $200 billion each
 Oliva 4

year to care for the afflicted” (Perlmutter 2018). It costs a lot to take care of those who have a

disease. Those who are sick usually cannot take care of themselves. Some will argue that

monetizing Alzheimer’s is something that can be done. But there is no worry about it because it

cannot spread.” There is no opportunity for monetizing such nonproletarian interactions”

(Perlmutter 2018). That Alzheimer’s cannot be stopped. You may try all you want but you will

not find a cure. Alzheimer’s is not that important of a disease to focus on. If anything, focus on

something that is worth it like cancer.

Some people might say that Alzheimer’s can be caused many ways. The main ways that

have been identified are when someone has reached that age limit which is 65 years-old. The

aluminum that is found in some cases might be a main cause, but research does not prove much.

It only proves what may causes Alzheimer’s to happen. “When researchers found traces of thin

metal in the brains of patients” (WebMD 2018). That thin layer of aluminum in the brain can be

a cause. The main causes are still unknown of what is causing Alzheimer’s disease. It’s true that

zinc may or may not be a cause of Alzheimer’s. Anything might as well cause Alzheimer’s

disease. “On the other hand, a recent study suggests that too much zinc might be the problem”

(WebMD 2018). Too much zinc may cause someone to have Alzheimer’s. So, it is either you get

the right amount of zinc or less and you might have a 50/50 chance of getting Alzheimer’s

disease. Alzheimer’s is a disease that is only worth trying to stop if they are important.

Alzheimer’s disease is very stressful thing to be going through especially when you are

the one that has it. To say that Alzheimer’s is not important just shows how people are when they

do not know someone who has it. Those who have it are suffering and losing brain functions as

they go on with their day.

That Alzheimer’s disease must have a slowdown rate so that people will not have to

suffer. Alzheimer’s disease is important because it can cause people to forget how to function

properly and how to move on their own. Alzheimer’s may seem important to some but not

everyone thinks it is. Stopping Alzheimer’s will save everyone time and help people keep their

memories and functions. That finding a faster solution to why it develops may help those who

have it and will have a chance to have a life. By providing support and positivity to those who

have family that is dealing with Alzheimer’s disease to forget why they had a disease that brings

pain everywhere it goes.
