and this was my answer to her emal;-
I'm putting the answer to that film on this thread as well ...yes it's a terrible disease and for sure i hope you don't get it, everybody is so nervous about it...in the case of genetically getting it, apparently the A. Assoc. says there is only a 5% chance of that...a lot depends on the make up and health i think...for example, mac used to drink ...Alchohol does play a part ...not that he was an alcoholic, but he had wine every single day...and i think if one is going to get it Alcohol does work on the cells of the brain, and even tho new cells are always made, why lose cells, that's one of the reasons i very rarely drink wine even though i like to have wine with meals, i don't - it's so obvious what acohol does when watching people after they have had a few drinks...so i don't go there....thanks for the film i am sending it on....i have seen that type of film numerous times at the Alzheimer's assoc, when they have speakers.....and only PREVENTION is spoken about a cure is not..as there is NO cure. it's awful...
Mac is in the second to last stage...he still eats well, and WALKS and with all the people here in the apartment bldg..that have the big A. many are in the last stage...non eating, non walkers, and in fact two have just died...one lady is a kind of friend of mine now, her husband is in the last stage, in bed constantly, crying in pain and not eating, she looks a wreck now..and i'm so so sad for her, and i know what's coming eventually for me, so it's not great, but i live as i keep saying in the MOMENT or i try to...
anyway, keep positive, you probably will NOT get it... xxxjan.
