Introduction and description

Dementia (taken from Latin, from de- "without" + ment, the root of mens "mind") is a serious loss of cognitive ability.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common and most severe form of dementia.

As their causes and effects appear to be almost identical, I have treated them together.  Both are diseases or a degeneration of the brain -  Brain damage.

In the page I have provided on the diseases  - Dementia and Alzheimers - I have provided a section listing the various causes.  The causes  include:

 

• Nutritional deprivation - including Vitamin deficiency , Mineral deficiency, Mineral supplements and vitamin supplements 
• Heavy metal poisoning - which has been implicated in a range of brain related conditions; including lead poisoning , mercury poisoning, and dental amalgam fillings.
• Pharmaceuticals - a vast range of pharmaceuticals have been linked with both Dementia and Alzheimers - see this LINK which provides you with an up-to-date-list from eHealthme of the drugs implicated so far.  The list already runs into over a 1000.
• Toxins – there are links between organophosphate fertilisers and carbamate insecticides, as well as the fluoride they add to our water and Alzheimers.
• Vaccines - I urge you to read the section on vaccines to understand why, as the reasoning behind the process needs to be understood.
• 

  Cats .... a blessing and a curse .....
  Being with cats - for the reasons explained in this section
• Brain damage - concussion perhaps caused by a fall and not diagnosed or noticed
• Alcoholism - in effect an excess of alcohol intake
• Parasites - of which a large number cause brain damage of all sorts as well as blindness and deafness. 
• Bacterial infections - which can also cause brain damage, antibiotics do not help here as they can sometimes compromise the immune system and lay us open to more infections later
• Viral infections - even dormant viruses can manifest themselves as we get older and cause damage.
• Hypoxia - poor quality air from pollution or even badly ventilated rooms - see both Hypoxia and Hypoxia side-effects

My mother, for example,  had dementia and we eventually worked out that she hadn't been eating properly – so it was in part vitamin deficiency. But the doctor then gave her iron tablets as a mineral supplement and that finished her off, before she was undernourished, afterwards she had dementia.

There is no reason why anyone should get either Alzheimer's disease or dementia.  If we investigated the disease early on to find the cause,  it is quite probable it could be halted in its tracks, but no, in the familiar pattern now apparent on this website, the solution is to invent another class of pharmaceuticals.

And these pharmaceuticals have a record of producing a significant number of hallucinations, a significant number.

The Drugs

 

None of the drugs in this class cure the disease, nor do they halt it in its tracks, because none actually address the likely causes. 

If I use an analogy, we might find a very large puddle of water on the floor, so instead of investigating the cause we put a towel down to mop it up.  First drug. 

Next day the puddle has grown into a very large puddle, so we put a bucket where the water is.  Second drug. 

The next day we have a lake running out of the door, so we open the door to let the water out.  Third drug. 

The next day the house falls down. 

It appears that the mechanism by which any of these drugs act is unknown, in effect, those who invented them do not know what they do.  And I will not use the word 'work' because that too is not proven, I quote for just one drug as an example:

What is significant, however, is that the side effects of these drugs is well known, for example

 and

If I now take another drug and the summary table from the eHealthme web-site, we see the following

Most common side effects by gender from Aricept :

Female	Male
Fall	Fall
Nausea	Confusional State
Confusional State	Nausea
Dizziness	Dizziness
Syncope	Asthenia
Asthenia	Pyrexia
Somnolence	Fatigue
Vomiting	Dehydration
Urinary Tract Infection	Pneumonia
Convulsion	Agitation

 and

Most common side effects by gender for Exelon :

Female	Male
Death	Death
Fall	Confusional State
Vomiting	Fall
Nausea	Pneumonia
Confusional State	Aggression
Diarrhoea	Vomiting
Dizziness	Agitation
Urinary Tract Infection	Dizziness
Asthenia	Cerebrovascular Accident
Dehydration	Malaise

Deaths

One little reported side-effect of all these drugs is death - the final spiritual experience. 

Using the figures supplied by the eHealthme website again, the following is the result:

• On Nov, 1, 2014: 2,755 people reported to have side effects when taking Donepezil. Among them, 59 people (2.14%) have Death.
• On Nov, 1, 2014: 14,907 people reported to have side effects when taking Aricept. Among them, 414 people (2.78%) have Death.
•  On Nov, 1, 2014: 7,051 people reported to have side effects when taking Exelon. Among them, 1,076 people (15.26%) have Death.
•  On Nov, 1, 2014: 6,836 people reported to have side effects when taking Namenda. Among them, 127 people (1.86%) have Death.
• On Oct, 25, 2014: 823 people reported to have side effects when taking Emsam. Among them, 2 people (0.24%) have Death

It seems somewhat extraordinary that drugs are prescribed to elderly patients with no clinically proven benefits, which from the evidence of doctors own Adverse Drug report submissions cause death.

How it works

It is almost impossible to work out why anyone would get an hallucination from these drugs, when the manufacturers themselves have little idea of their mechanism of action.  Overall, however, it would seem to me that the best way to describe the cause is poisoning - follow the link for an explanation. 

Observations

The table below provides a summary of the number of hallucinations resulting from these drugs, which was correct as at 2010. 

The figures were obtained from the eHealthme website  and derived from Adverse Drug reprts submitted to SEDA and the FDA. 

I have provided a link you can follow for each drug that will take you to the eHealthme site where you can see all the side effects of each drug.

Observation no	Observation	No of hallucinations
005250	Donepezil	111
	Aricept	153
005251	Exelon	21
005417	Namenda	97
	Selegiline/Emsam	62
