Living with Alzheimers

I have lived with two people that have alzheimer’s and it is consuming care that needs to be provided. For me, I had another family members help. .I had another family member who helped me with the care of the person who had alzheimer’s. There are many people that are not so lucky and they have to care for their parent or family member. All by themselves all the time and it is can be very consuming. And interrupt and interrupt many things that the person is working on.

I lived with my mom until they until they died, another i’m living with right now, they have minor dementia. It’s no secret that, as you get around forty five to 50 years old, you start to not be as sharp and as fast as you was in your twenties. What I keep reading is there’s many different things that contribute to alzheimer’s. And this article here talks about it plainly, that for sure, Alzheimer’s disease is happening, even though you don’t see any symptoms. This means leads me to believe that even though i’m only fifty six years old, I probably have alzheimer’s disease, it i’s just not symptomatic right now. Then, there’s many things that can be causing this.It could partially be mitochondrial problems inside my cells.What happens is mitochondrial dna starts to get deletions.So they call it mitochondrial dna deletions. These deletions of the d n a cannot be repaired, and they basically are the root cause of a lot of problems with nervous system.Muscle wasting also partially alzheimer’s related.

hippocampus:

It converts short-term memories into long-term memories by organizing, storing and retrieving memories within your brain. Your hippocampus also helps you learn more about your environment (spatial memory), so you’re aware of what’s around you, as well as remembering what words to say (verbal memory).

Aβ/tau accumulates for years before overt cognitive symptoms, implying early circuit-level and neurotransmitter system dysfunction that precedes dementia onset.
Recent research has evidenced that tau and amyloid affect distinct brain circuits from early stages: tau pathology, especially in the hippocampus, gives rise to memory deficits, while Aβ deposition in the amygdala is associated with early emotional disturbances such as anxiety and fear, both contributing to the clinical picture through synergistic neuroinflammatory effects and brain malfunction

mtDNA

You only get mtdna from your mother. That led me to more research about what this is used for and what it problems it causes when it malfunctions.

it’s very important in the the science of aging. There’s lots of research on this and dementia.Also alzheimer’s and also muscle wasting.

below is from google’s summarization:

mtdnadel +10 mtDNAdel is an abbreviation for mitochondrial DNA deletion. It refers to the loss of a portion of the circular DNA found inside mitochondria—the energy-producing powerhouses of your cells.These deletions often accumulate as cells age or undergo environmental stress. The most famous and widely studied of these is the “common deletion” (a 4977 base-pair loss).While a small percentage of mtDNAdel is normal, an excessive rate of deletions is tied to a few major areas of medical and biological research:Male Fertility: Elevated mtDNAdel rates in sperm are associated with reduced semen quality (lower motility, abnormal morphology, and lower sperm counts) and lower probabilities of achieving pregnancy naturally or via assisted reproductive technologies.Aging & Disease: High levels of mitochondrial DNA deletions impair cellular energy production. They are heavily linked to neurological disorders, muscle-wasting conditions, sensorineural hearing loss, and general cellular aging.Environmental Biomarkers: Studies have found that high rates of mtDNAdel serve as a highly sensitive biomarker for cellular oxidative stress, frequently spiking after exposure to industrial air pollution and environmental toxins.Because mitochondrial DNA lacks the robust repair mechanisms found in nuclear DNA, these mutations easily persist and replicate.

israel attacks sailors

this pisses me off. I spent 4 years on the ocean. International waters are sovereign, Israel hijacked and illegally imprisoned these people. And they planned it out by creating a prison ship to hold them against their will. Fuck you Israel. Israel pirates need to go to jail for this crime.

Monday afternoon, May 18, Israeli naval forces intercepted our vessel, La Sirena, in international waters near Cyprus. Over the next two days, they boarded all of our boats, detaining 428 activists from more than 45 countries. The seven of us on board La Sirena were taken at gunpoint and transferred to the Nahshon, one of the two Israeli military landing crafts converted into floating prisons for the operation

She notes that Trump suggested he’d deploy the military to target political opponents, including people he has decried as the “enemy from within.” The former president has long talked about attacking his enemies and declared to his supporters that he would be their “retribution.”

“He’s talking about the American people. He’s talking about journalists, judges, nonpartisan election officials,” Harris said Wednesday night at a CNN town hall.

What is fascism? And why does Harris say Trump is a fascist?

imminent domain

In American we have a law called Eminent domain. Eminent as time is running and it eventually will take place, your land will be confiscated, is how I remember it. The law, yes, it exists. It is feared, as it can allow the government to force you to sell your house. There are different versions of this, but the United States version is mild. I do fear the power of this law, I have seen it put to use. Yet we have laws that allow for payment of your loss to your home. Not all people believe in this. Imminent peril is the word for what has been happening to people in Jerusalem, as Israel forces people to abandon their homes (or just destroys them). In a sick and twisted version of imminent domain, here the government tells the people, you will give up your house, we will NOT buy it from you. And you WILL PAY US for destroying your house. Oh my god. This is why you should NEVER trust any government.

The experience of demolishing the house and the history of his own family has left Al Tawil empty, but everything has been reduced to a stark economic reality. The Jerusalem municipality told him it would cost 280,000 shekels (more than 83,000 euros) to have its workers demolish the house, while hiring his own equipment and labor costs Al Tawil less than a tenth.

aluminum kills

stay away from aluminum cans aluminum cookware. Leads to cellular death (apoptosis).

Aluminum induces neuronal apoptosis in vivo and in vitro, either by endoplasmic stress from the unfolded protein response, by mitochondrial dysfunction, or a combination of them.

Reading about the aluminum factor in Parkinson’s and also in Alzheimer’s disease You learn a lot about the mitochondria. They believe it’s the mitochondria get damaged from the aluminum but that’s just one part of it. I read more and more about the mitochondria which read me down led me down a rabbit hole of information which some of it I’ll share here.

OK so there are multiple mitochondria in cells and the mitochondria can separates and somehow magically create new mitochondria via fission.  How long does it take to duplicate a mitochondria?   When you take the biology course you learn that mitochondria I used to make energy via the Kreb cycle In reading about the mitochondria there’s an article here from a professor and it’s pretty good he talks about some of the common drugs and even things like alcohol and other things that damage mitochondria.  Not a surprise at all is that statins were on the list

When I was taking statins continuously for about two months my the the nerve problems I have in my hand started getting much worse meaning I have lack of sensation in my right hand and it started getting much worse as I was taking statins every day and then I at that point I ended up realizing that it was the statins that were doing it.   But if you don’t believe me read the article the the professor talks about how statins and other drugs damage mitochondria.  Mitochondria is needs to be working in all parts of your body.  The link to the article is below:
