Caring For people With Dementia

http:/stoppingdementia.com According to the Alzheimer’s Association everyone who has a brain is at risk for dementia.
Think about this… Sooner or later you or someone you know will probably get dementia and if you don’t know what to do about it you are in for an unpleasant surprise. So since you will be caring for people with dementia it is important to know what you are doing.
Hello, my name is Houston “DocResults” Vetter, PhD, my team and I work as consultants in the medical field to doctors, nurses, hospitals and their senior patients.
The first thing you need to know when caring for people with dementia is what is going on. It is pretty simple and I’ll us the analogy of the highway infrastructure, roads, bridges and overpasses to explain what’s happening in the body.
When the roads and bridges are constructed they are new and strong and have no pot holes or need repairing and as long as new roads, bridges and overpasses are being built there is always a way to get from point a to point b. However, as time passes and there aren’t a lot of new roads being built the old one start to deteriorate and fall apart. Between the potholes and crumbling roads and bridges it becomes harder and harder to get from here to there. And unless the old infrastructure is repaired and restored to its original state the ability to travel will get harder and harder until it comes to a standstill and that is what dementia does in your body.
Information (neurons, i.e. thoughts etc) travel by neural pathways from the brain to other brain cells to body cells all over the body. And when the infrastructure degrades, there either needs to be repairs or replacement of the neural pathways or new ones built. All medicine agrees dementia is the degradation or loss of neural pathways.
So while caring for people with dementia may look similar to caring for someone with two broken legs, bathing, cooking, cleaning and spending time with them if you really want to care for people with dementia you want to be doing things with the dementia patient that stimulates, regrows, rebuilds and builds new neural pathways.
The bathing, cooking, cleaning and spending time with them is maintenance but it does not help the dementia patient or you the caregiver get what you want. It is necessary but if you really, truly want to care, for people with dementia you need to, in addition to bathing, cooking, cleaning and spending time with them, you want to be doing simple exercises to build new neural pathways. The best most effective ones are at StoppingDementa.com. New neural pathways will not only stop dementia in the stage it is in, the more neural pathways one has it can reverse dementia and it can prevent dementia for you as the caregiver.
