Dr. Kaveh, recently I have taken cognitive tests and as per the Neurologist, I didn't fare well. He told me that I have mild dementia. Now, I'm really in for many tests and lab work. He suggested in taking away my driver's license. So, I know this is to be taken seriously. I am willing to do anything that I can to learn more. I may not be able to reverse what is going on. But, perhaps I can prevent further damage. Next, I have appointment with another Neurologist for frontotemporal dementia. Scary. So..Bless You! For this information and this video that I happen to run upon tonight.

Please look into "hyperbaric chambers" - they oxygenate the brain. My friend in his 80's reversed his wife's alzheimers with the hyperbaric - she uses it daily today. You can buy one for $4,000 new and do it at home - way cheaper than going to a facility or a hopt. They removed processed foods and meat from her diet. They walk every day. He's 80's she's late 70's. He's a retired pharmaceutical rep and he talked to docs and medical professionals - he researched the herbs that would reconnect the neurons in her brain - all of this together worked and they still keep up this regimen - it's been 12 years

More on tinnitus please. A lawyer I know suffered tremendously. Take my word, sadly he killed himself as a result of tinnitus. I would think there would be a solution. One colleague has found help with Valium but initially had so many Doctors brush him off. Currently he now lives a productive life in his 50’s.

I’m so glad I came across this video. I took a DNA test and it stated that I have the gene for early onset dementia. I do have a heart problem and Stage 3 kidney disease. I need to mention this to my family physician when I see her. Thank you so much, Doc! 🙏🏻

Thank you for posting this and doing this live stream (which of course I found a day late)! I've been worried about vascular dementia in myself due to a family history of vascular disorders as well as myself being on hemodialysis already at a rather early age. Thankfully where I do have dialysis, they keep close track of my labs so we know fairly early on now when something is off. Sadly, it was an autoimmune disorder that kicked this all off, and my parents both have some of the medical problems too that can lead to it all, so this is a definite worry for myself (and my parents as well).

Unfortunately I have a few conditions, so have regular bloodwork including vit d levels min once a year so i know that 4000iu daily is safe for me.

#6 and a Bonus Point. #6: Learn another language. All the information in your brain is accessed by synapses which you can think of like a rope. The stronger the rope, the more you will be able to retrieve that information. You can strengthen your rope by many ways, one being: Learn another language. If I can tell you who my family is in 2 different ways (i.e. in 2 different languages), I have two threads to that rope of recall. It's harder to break 2 threads than 1. Bonus; Go to Therapy and work on your stuff. A family member of mine didn't ever do therapy and bottled all their stuff up. Idk if that contributed to dementia but lord, when her mind went demented (that sounds bad but I dont mean to disparage her), she started babbling 80 years worth of stuff she never processed and dealth with. I wrote down a lot of the things she said as a lot of it were family stories. Things she would never have told us so directly. On one hand, I found it endearjng. On the other hand, she was embarrassed once she got on her meds and heard what had happened (telling us all the family secrets). Work on your shit, People!

Learning Argentine Tango is said to be very good for the stimulation of the brain to delay dementia. There's literature that says learning different languages can help.

What about the incredibly basic issue of caring for one’s teeth??

Great live stream, I learnt lots that I didn’t know before! Really appreciate the videos Dr. Kaveh!

Thank you for sharing your insights doctor!

Dr. Kaveh, thank you for advocating for a healthier world for all of us! Would you consider doing a talk on pet food? There are a lot of experts on the topic of dog/ cat nutrition and how dogs and cats are getting the same illnesses and diseases as people but at much more alarming rates. The FDA does not regulate pet food. The FDA says they do but the pet food industry make the rules/ recommendations and the FDA adopts what ever they recommend. Pet parents have to really make an effort to learn how dangerous most pet foods are and most of us assume if it is on the shelf it must be safe. It really is criminal what is going on in the pet food industry. You present information in a very nice methodical manner with a tone and rate that is so easy to listen to! I recently got two new puppies and am appauled how most dog foods are slowly killing our pets. The average life expectancy for a golden retriever today is 8 years old. It has been cut in half in the US over the last 50 years according to one study because of cancers. Recently, because of my pets, I have started learning more about how poorly regulated the food industry is in the US. By international standards thhe US is considered to have the least safe food supply of all developed countries; Canada is considered to have one of the safest food supply chains in the world with Ireland, Australia, France & some others. Would you please consider doing an episode on food/ chemicals that effects 'People & Pets'? It is shocking and infuriating how an enormous amount of food that is in all of the grocery stores throughout the US is banned to be imported into other developed countries because of the chemicals used in the US (all US chicken, pork & fish for starters are banned to be imported into nearly all other developed countries!); The FDA continues to refuse to even agree to warning labels as of May 2023. The parellels to the history of the tobacco industry are stunning. I am wondering if people had an awareness of how toxic most pet food is if we would be more likely to prepare healthier food for ourselves and pets at the same time. In your video someone from the audience asked if Ativan can increase risk of demenia. A study came out (I believe in 2023) that indicated long term use of Ativan does cause dementia. Sorry I can not cite the source off the top of my head but I do remember it was a large well conducted study and the evidence based reseach was published in a large well respected medical journal. Thank you for making the world a better place one video at a time!!

I'm so grateful for your video.

What are the odds of most of us accessing a hyberberic chamber?!

My dad and all of his four siblings either passed from Alzheimer's or with it from another illness, so I am very concerned about it. The good news is only one of them developed symptoms in her 60's; she had been a heavy smoker her entire adult life. The other four developed the disease in their mid to late 80's as they began to slow down and have sedentary lives and truthfully became more isolated. The isolation increase occurred because many of their friends and family had begun passing on, which also led to grief and depression. Modern medicine has extended our physical bodies without extended our mental acuity. I agree lifestyle and diet playing a part of it, but I fervently belief our society needs to do better about including the elderly in our society. Let's value their knowledge and expertise and learn from their wisdom. I am hopeful because people in my generation, as a rule, appear at least 10 to 15 years younger than those in my parents' generation. I am also grateful that my mother's family tree had no Alzheimer's. Good discussion today.

I wholeheartedly agree with advocating to support and value our elderly population and making a point to include the elderly rather than forgetting about them and viewing as no longer important. In the blue zone communities like Sardinia especially, the elderly are valued and included in communities and of course along the Mediterranean diet they practice they are more healthy than most.

Thanks for the information and advice doctor. Does traumatic brain injury and tbi induced epilepsy cause early onset dementia? I had a 9mm bullet go through the center of the front of my brain. Another went through my cheek and eye. How about time spent in induced coma and anesthesia? I was in a medically induced coma for 6 weeks. And have been under for a hundred or so hours of surgery following the injury.

I read monoclonal antibody treatment for autoimmune disease may help protect against dementia. The reason i looked that up is because of the indications that anti-TNF drugs may help reverse stroke and other forms of brain damage when injected into the spinal canal. Unfortunately just taking these drugs systemically for some other condition such as rheumatoid disease doesn't readily cross the blood-brain barrier, but still it does help some statistically.

I have a history of depression I do have anxiety, OCD, and type 2 diabetes. So I guess I'm at high risk.

Do TNF blockers help? I know they are doing a lot for stroke patients and if you can comment on that I would also appreciate it. How about resveratrol?

Thank you for talking about dementia. My Dad has an undiagnosed form of it, and has deteriorated substantially in the year and a half I've had to live with him. Additionally, he has significant damage from traumatic brain injuries sustained in childhood plus many impacts throughout his life. It is no less than a miracle that he still knows his own name. There have been countless brawls, falls, crashes, clubbings and decades of alcoholism. He said he started drinking and smoking at age 12. He has only a 5th grade education because he started working after his father died due to complications following a beating by a gang. My Dad is a monster, the OG of my PTSD, and all I can say is he can't help being that, because of the severe brain damage in childhood. There have been a handful of glimpses into his underlying character in the rare moments of lucidity, and I'm tenaciously hanging on to the idea that if not for the cruelty of his own youth, he might have been a good father. We both got robbed of that possibility. He's always been averse to seeking medical care and won't take medication. Due to his diet of right-wing media in addition to the aforementioned, he now believes his doctor has been "infiltrated by the Chinese Communist party". He also maintains that the Communists, or Biden, or COVID vax killed my older brother Mike who died in 2021 during or after an attempted liver transplant.

Does tinnitus always result in hearing loss? I've heard tinnitus itself is not treatable.

IMO 2,000 IU D3 per day is not nearly enough for a typical adult. Compared to bone, renal and other 'classic' D tissue, the immune cells that D does such good things for are less able to transport D into the cell. They rely on passive diffusion, and thus require significantly higher serum/tissue D levels in order to be fully D stimulated. It seems likely that 25-D levels of ~60+ ng are necessary to enjoy full anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, etc. effects. (Potentially much more if they have any polymorphisms in their D pathway.) And no one on this planet is going to reach 60ng by taking 2K a day.

Thank you for talking about dementia. My mom has Alzheimer’s. She got sick with C. Diff on the 27th. The infection led to her basically falling off a cliff. She is now in hospice and moved to skilled nursing from the memory ward. In less than a month I really don’t recognize her. I just want her to stop suffering. Is it normal for an infection to do this?

My mom suffered from C Diff in 2017 and had been put on hospice. I had her go on a regimen of Probiotics from Garden of Life with the Dr's approval. She began to improve over time, and in 6 months was taken off hospice. She passed in 2023 from sepsis and gangrene in her foot from poor circulation. The probiotics gave mom another 5 years of life in a very nice assisted living apt where she made friends and participated in functions until a few months before her passing. 😊 Look into it asap.

@@DebraCollins-fq4jo thank you! I use those probiotics for myself. My mom is on Culturelle but it makes a lot of sense to put her on garden of life. The one thing is that she is only eating 0%-25% daily. But I will see about it.

My Mom had Alzheimer’s and now my older brother has been diagnosed with it. Is there tests I should be getting?

My son is a roofer and was totally depleted of D3 when he fell and broke his leg! Rods had to be inserted and I Never heard of as high a dose that they had put him on.

Does going under anesthesia multiple times increase the risk of dementia?

Very good question - the anesthesia itself does not appear to cause that (I actually have a few videos on this). Other things may happen during the surgery that can increase that risk though. I'm wishing you the best and thank you for asking such a good question!

Dr. Linda Page,UCLA School of Naturopathic Medicine,says it leads to psychosis.

I feel I have a bit of social isolation caused by my husbands mental illness, for a variety of reasons. One, he can barely socialize. All my friends and kids work and have less time to socialize. Most things i do, I do alone. I want more socialization, need more, and can't find it. And I definitely have no money to pay for extra (bowling ect).

I'm so sorry to hear that. Please be aware that caregivers have a higher rate of illness than non caregivers. I hope you feel more empowered to advocate for your health 🙏
