Have you ever
had one of those days
00:00:01.06\00:00:02.71
when you just
could not find your keys?
00:00:02.74\00:00:06.12
But I got one better.
00:00:06.15\00:00:07.43
Have you ever climbed
to the top of your stairs
00:00:07.46\00:00:10.45
and don't remember
why you are up there?
00:00:10.48\00:00:14.03
Well, our program today
Alzheimer's the overview.
00:00:14.06\00:00:18.37
Hi, welcome to Abundant Living.
00:00:52.79\00:00:54.33
This is Curtis Eakins.
00:00:54.36\00:00:55.55
Like to introduce
my beautiful bride
00:00:55.58\00:00:57.36
of 20 glorious,
wonderful years...
00:00:57.39\00:01:01.43
Paula Eakins.
00:01:01.46\00:01:02.63
You bride over 20 years,
00:01:02.66\00:01:05.09
I thought you're
gonna keep it rolling but--
00:01:05.12\00:01:06.38
No, I just want to
hear your voice now.
00:01:06.41\00:01:08.06
Okay. Okay.
00:01:08.09\00:01:09.15
And that was the
wonderful keys too.
00:01:09.18\00:01:10.44
Did you find your keys
00:01:10.47\00:01:11.57
or you went to
the top of the stairs?
00:01:11.60\00:01:15.42
I forgot what I say it.
00:01:15.45\00:01:16.92
Just forgot what you say it?
00:01:16.95\00:01:18.26
Maybe we need to do
this program for you then.
00:01:18.29\00:01:19.85
No.
00:01:19.88\00:01:21.61
Well, we will see
as we move to through
00:01:21.64\00:01:22.77
because I'm sure
you've a lot to say
00:01:22.80\00:01:24.10
about Alzheimer's and dementia.
00:01:24.13\00:01:25.82
Yes, we do.
00:01:25.85\00:01:26.89
As a matter of fact, we
just finished having a program
00:01:26.92\00:01:30.13
that we were-- we open house--
00:01:30.16\00:01:33.22
opened to the
community for people to come in
00:01:33.25\00:01:35.33
and talk about
dementia and Alzheimer's.
00:01:35.36\00:01:37.20
We opened it up
00:01:37.23\00:01:38.34
and I mean, the
place was crowded
00:01:38.37\00:01:40.37
with people not only those
00:01:40.40\00:01:42.42
who were those
coming in to get information
00:01:42.45\00:01:44.18
but they actually
brought the clients with them.
00:01:44.21\00:01:47.45
Yes, right.
00:01:47.48\00:01:48.51
Yeah, my mother, she is
the seniors ministry director
00:01:48.54\00:01:50.87
for First Church
here Huntsville, Alabama
00:01:50.90\00:01:54.05
and she has
meetings every now and then,
00:01:54.08\00:01:57.00
maybe every quarter.
00:01:57.03\00:01:58.42
So since we've children,
00:01:58.45\00:02:00.04
she also come
in and do seminars.
00:02:00.07\00:02:02.87
Last month I
guess it was Alzheimer's
00:02:02.90\00:02:05.71
and was the largest crowd
I guess in years about 60.
00:02:05.74\00:02:09.87
And so have large
caregivers as well.
00:02:09.90\00:02:12.14
Did she pay you
for that seminar?
00:02:12.17\00:02:14.29
I don't remember.
00:02:14.32\00:02:15.76
I don't remember either but--
00:02:15.79\00:02:17.01
Because you know, we
are part time for conference
00:02:17.04\00:02:19.31
so did she give you a check?
00:02:19.34\00:02:21.65
I think that you better move on
00:02:21.68\00:02:23.17
because, you know, your mother
00:02:23.20\00:02:24.27
will eventually
see this program itself
00:02:24.30\00:02:25.86
and I think you're
gonna have to answer.
00:02:25.89\00:02:27.37
So yes mother, we
did get the money.
00:02:27.40\00:02:29.14
Okay, you did. I
got it, I got it.
00:02:29.17\00:02:30.27
So what you did with the money?
00:02:30.30\00:02:31.35
I don't know where I put it.
00:02:31.38\00:02:32.91
Okay, so--
00:02:32.94\00:02:34.92
That was a good answer
to, you don't remember, okay.
00:02:34.95\00:02:36.86
But I'll ask you a question
because a lot of people came
00:02:36.89\00:02:40.24
and lot of people came
00:02:40.27\00:02:41.40
also with a
concern about dementia
00:02:41.43\00:02:43.32
and they were asking questions.
00:02:43.35\00:02:44.60
So what exactly is dementia?
00:02:44.63\00:02:47.77
Yeah, dementia is just simply
00:02:47.80\00:02:50.15
a loss of memory
where to the point
00:02:50.18\00:02:52.48
where you cannot really
function on a daily basis.
00:02:52.51\00:02:56.47
I mean, it's so severe that
00:02:56.50\00:02:57.76
you cannot really
perform your daily duties.
00:02:57.79\00:03:00.98
There's many causes of dementia,
00:03:01.01\00:03:03.85
loss of memory
such as alcohol abuse.
00:03:03.88\00:03:06.99
That can cause a loss of memory.
00:03:07.02\00:03:09.22
Brain injury can do it.
00:03:09.25\00:03:11.68
TIA's transient
ischemic attacks,
00:03:11.71\00:03:15.57
depression, low
thyroid, hypothyroidism
00:03:15.60\00:03:20.08
all those can be
causes of losing ones memory.
00:03:20.11\00:03:23.99
And so that's dementia
the general form of dementia
00:03:24.02\00:03:27.97
but we're gonna
be talking about that
00:03:28.00\00:03:29.23
but also in
particular Alzheimer's as well
00:03:29.26\00:03:32.65
which is a part of dementia.
00:03:32.68\00:03:34.78
Okay, well, I'm sure that
00:03:34.81\00:03:35.85
okay, from what you
are saying about dementia
00:03:35.88\00:03:38.27
then as probably not
why I couldn't find my keys
00:03:38.30\00:03:40.66
and remember what
happen when I'm on stairs
00:03:40.69\00:03:42.53
so perhaps I should go
to the next definition.
00:03:42.56\00:03:44.88
Maybe that one is more
like me and that's Alzheimer's.
00:03:44.91\00:03:49.27
Could you kind
of talk about that?
00:03:49.30\00:03:51.00
Yeah, I don't
think it's like you
00:03:51.03\00:03:52.07
because we've been
what together for 20 years
00:03:52.10\00:03:54.86
and I don't think you
have Alzheimer's right now.
00:03:54.89\00:03:58.07
Well, not at this moment
00:03:58.10\00:03:59.34
I mean maybe you know,
later on but not right now.
00:03:59.37\00:04:02.13
You're doing pretty good, yeah.
00:04:02.16\00:04:04.21
Great, so how about
describing that then?
00:04:04.24\00:04:07.22
Let me be the, let
me be the judge of it,
00:04:07.25\00:04:08.71
let me try to figure it out as--
00:04:08.74\00:04:09.97
With severe
Alzheimer's if I would know,
00:04:10.00\00:04:12.12
Oh, okay.
00:04:12.15\00:04:13.34
yeah, I'll be the one
that kind of tell you.
00:04:13.37\00:04:14.88
Okay, so how
about defining it then?
00:04:14.91\00:04:17.54
Alzheimer's?
00:04:17.57\00:04:18.75
Hey, let's do it
at this time, okay.
00:04:18.78\00:04:20.35
Okay, let's go.
00:04:20.38\00:04:21.53
So Alzheimer's is really
the damage of brine cells
00:04:21.56\00:04:26.36
is called nerve lock
00:04:26.39\00:04:27.58
we call never
cells, brain cells.
00:04:27.61\00:04:30.41
The brain cells that die
and therefore this no firing
00:04:30.44\00:04:34.11
with one brain cell to the next
00:04:34.14\00:04:36.02
therefore there's
gonna be some impairment
00:04:36.05\00:04:38.27
as far as
cognition is concerned,
00:04:38.30\00:04:40.56
learning skills et cetera
00:04:40.59\00:04:42.73
and is growing at
a increasing rate.
00:04:42.76\00:04:45.17
I think we have a
first graphic here.
00:04:45.20\00:04:46.51
Let's go to our first graphic
00:04:46.54\00:04:47.69
and see the rate of
Alzheimer's in this country.
00:04:47.72\00:04:50.52
Let's go to screen at this time.
00:04:50.55\00:04:52.22
You see here that,
00:04:52.25\00:04:53.63
now again if you notice
here around eight of sixteen
00:04:53.66\00:04:58.47
where people
start to be diagnosed
00:04:58.50\00:05:00.62
with Alzheimer's
diseases around 60
00:05:00.65\00:05:03.17
and then of course 70
to 79 really increases,
00:05:03.20\00:05:07.92
then once you reach 80
to 89 it really increases
00:05:07.95\00:05:12.58
and then of course 90 and above
00:05:12.61\00:05:15.26
it almost increased again.
00:05:15.29\00:05:17.71
The women diagnosed with
Alzheimer's more than men.
00:05:17.74\00:05:22.79
And one of
reason why because women
00:05:22.82\00:05:25.30
tend to last longer, live longer
00:05:25.33\00:05:27.28
so of course women will
be diagnosed little bit more.
00:05:27.31\00:05:30.00
And thanks for the graphic.
00:05:30.03\00:05:31.34
But so it's about one
in eight if you're over 65.
00:05:31.37\00:05:36.80
Okay. Okay.
00:05:36.83\00:05:37.89
The projection in about 15 years
00:05:37.92\00:05:40.84
if Jesus delays His
coming it will be one in two.
00:05:40.87\00:05:46.24
One in two?
00:05:46.27\00:05:47.72
In about 15 years 2030.
00:05:47.75\00:05:50.30
So, I mean, because began
00:05:50.33\00:05:53.35
the baby boomers are
turning 65, 10,000 a day.
00:05:53.38\00:05:59.29
Alzheimer's is usually around
in the 60th decade of life.
00:05:59.32\00:06:03.31
So you can see now
that is really climbing.
00:06:03.34\00:06:05.39
It's about five
million right now.
00:06:05.42\00:06:07.56
So lot of people
having in and right now
00:06:07.59\00:06:10.04
it's the six largest
cause of death in United States.
00:06:10.07\00:06:13.43
So Alzheimer's
diseases is very crippling
00:06:13.46\00:06:16.59
and it can
basically can become fatal
00:06:16.62\00:06:20.09
within the first six,
eight years after diagnoses.
00:06:20.12\00:06:23.62
So, I guess the
question would be then
00:06:23.65\00:06:25.62
I know that those
who are watching the show
00:06:25.65\00:06:28.20
are trying to find out
what then are the signs
00:06:28.23\00:06:31.23
that individual is actually
suffering from Alzheimer's?
00:06:31.26\00:06:34.43
Okay, the
Alzheimer's Association
00:06:34.46\00:06:36.76
has really mentioned about
ten basic signs of Alzheimer's.
00:06:36.79\00:06:42.11
Again now if a person
is experiencing Alzheimer's
00:06:42.14\00:06:45.34
usually they may not
be aware of it themselves.
00:06:45.37\00:06:47.76
So normally if family member
00:06:47.79\00:06:50.89
will notice some of those signs.
00:06:50.92\00:06:52.12
Now again if a
person is living alone
00:06:52.15\00:06:55.05
then it's gonna be
difficult because sometime
00:06:55.08\00:06:57.23
they may not recognize
those signs right away.
00:06:57.26\00:06:59.86
So normally another family
member can discover the sign.
00:06:59.89\00:07:02.40
Let's go to the screen,
00:07:02.43\00:07:03.51
we have ten signs
we'll go five at a time.
00:07:03.54\00:07:05.40
Let's go to the screen for
the first of five right there.
00:07:05.43\00:07:07.63
The warning signs, number one,
00:07:07.66\00:07:10.37
loss of memory
that disrupts life.
00:07:10.40\00:07:13.24
For lot of people yeah,
I can't forget something
00:07:13.27\00:07:15.74
but Alzheimer's is
really a loss of memory
00:07:15.77\00:07:18.66
where it really
affects your daily life
00:07:18.69\00:07:21.97
and you cannot
really retrace your steps.
00:07:22.00\00:07:24.00
Number two, you have
problems in solving problems.
00:07:24.03\00:07:29.18
Managing a check book.
00:07:29.21\00:07:30.55
When a person can do that
00:07:30.58\00:07:32.27
but now all of a
sudden is very difficult
00:07:32.30\00:07:35.45
or doing a favorite recipe
00:07:35.48\00:07:37.78
they can no longer do a
favorite recipe, all right.
00:07:37.81\00:07:41.11
Number three,
difficulty in completing task.
00:07:41.14\00:07:44.50
This can be at home, at work.
00:07:44.53\00:07:48.23
Forgetting the rules of a
game that person plays now
00:07:48.26\00:07:52.06
and then just cannot remember
00:07:52.09\00:07:53.88
what that rule is
or that kind of thing.
00:07:53.91\00:07:56.66
Number four,
confusion with time or place.
00:07:56.69\00:08:01.11
In other words, wait a
minute, how did I get here?
00:08:01.14\00:08:05.19
Where am I?
00:08:05.22\00:08:06.56
What I need to do once I'm here?
00:08:06.59\00:08:08.85
Now that was all A's
00:08:08.88\00:08:10.44
where you can really
kind of retrace your step
00:08:10.47\00:08:12.63
but here Alzheimer's
you just simply confuse
00:08:12.66\00:08:14.84
is to how you got to this place
00:08:14.87\00:08:17.59
and what you need to
do once you get there.
00:08:17.62\00:08:19.64
The last one in this group,
00:08:19.67\00:08:21.53
trouble understanding
visual relationship.
00:08:21.56\00:08:25.53
In other words,
00:08:25.56\00:08:27.09
they have
trouble in five distance.
00:08:27.12\00:08:31.13
Color perception,
00:08:31.16\00:08:33.52
if a person is near or far away
00:08:33.55\00:08:35.46
because now it is
affecting the occipital lobe
00:08:35.49\00:08:38.69
the back of the brain.
00:08:38.72\00:08:40.04
So those are
the first five signs
00:08:40.07\00:08:42.14
as far as
Alzheimer's is concerned.
00:08:42.17\00:08:44.36
So and now
let's go the next five
00:08:44.39\00:08:46.43
and let's go with that as well.
00:08:46.46\00:08:48.15
The next five. New
problems with words.
00:08:48.18\00:08:51.73
In other words, they cannot
really carry on a conversation,
00:08:51.76\00:08:55.31
they may get to a
middle of a sentence
00:08:55.34\00:08:58.28
and simply forget
what do I say next.
00:08:58.31\00:09:01.32
I mean, they just,
simply just lost it where.
00:09:01.35\00:09:04.03
You know, sings of
just kind of all age
00:09:04.06\00:09:06.09
is where you
forget what word to use.
00:09:06.12\00:09:08.51
That's old age but Alzheimer's
00:09:08.54\00:09:10.29
you just stop in a
middle of the sentence,
00:09:10.32\00:09:12.69
you have no idea what
to say next, all right.
00:09:12.72\00:09:16.36
The next one, misplacing things.
00:09:16.39\00:09:19.14
Now misplacing your
keys is not a problem,
00:09:19.17\00:09:22.47
you can retrace your
step you find your keys.
00:09:22.50\00:09:25.31
But misplacing keys
where you put your car keys
00:09:25.34\00:09:28.57
in a microwave, in the freezer.
00:09:28.60\00:09:32.13
Okay, you see
the difference there,
00:09:32.16\00:09:33.91
major difference.
00:09:33.94\00:09:35.66
Next one,
decreased or poor judgment
00:09:35.69\00:09:39.30
where you have a poor
judgment for as grooming.
00:09:39.33\00:09:43.53
Not be able to groom yourself
00:09:43.56\00:09:44.95
or maybe giving
strangers large sums of money,
00:09:44.98\00:09:48.18
the poor judgment, all right.
00:09:48.21\00:09:50.31
Another one,
withdrawal from work,
00:09:50.34\00:09:52.65
home or place where a
person may be sociable
00:09:52.68\00:09:56.45
but they no longer sociable
they withdraw themselves.
00:09:56.48\00:09:59.96
Now old age it could be fine
I'm just tired or depressed.
00:09:59.99\00:10:04.84
But Alzheimer's is that
00:10:04.87\00:10:06.44
you simply knock
themselves anymore.
00:10:06.47\00:10:08.90
The last one,
00:10:08.93\00:10:10.29
changes in mood and personality.
00:10:10.32\00:10:13.27
The person simply
changes their personality.
00:10:13.30\00:10:17.75
They are now more
fearful, they are more confused,
00:10:17.78\00:10:22.20
they anxious,
they are suspicious,
00:10:22.23\00:10:25.91
somebody trying to get me.
00:10:25.94\00:10:27.71
So those are some of the
signs of Alzheimer's diseases.
00:10:27.74\00:10:30.59
Those kind of things
00:10:30.62\00:10:31.66
so therefore, we
have to be mindful
00:10:31.69\00:10:33.82
and be mindful
that you may not have
00:10:33.85\00:10:36.98
to explain us
all of those symptoms
00:10:37.01\00:10:39.42
but when more those
symptoms a person experience
00:10:39.45\00:10:41.78
to the more we can determine
that person has Alzheimer's.
00:10:41.81\00:10:44.97
Well, I guess I
mean, that's a lot.
00:10:45.00\00:10:46.46
Yes it is.
00:10:46.49\00:10:47.68
If somebody is living
alone is gonna be a lot harder
00:10:47.71\00:10:50.95
for someone to
diagnose that or even for them.
00:10:50.98\00:10:53.50
Okay, but now if they
have someone is there with them
00:10:53.53\00:10:56.14
they might be able
to see a difference
00:10:56.17\00:10:58.42
in the family member
00:10:58.45\00:10:59.64
and know that
something going on.
00:10:59.67\00:11:01.43
So I guess the
next thing then would be
00:11:01.46\00:11:03.39
what kind of
testing is done to determine
00:11:03.42\00:11:06.32
if a person's
experiencing Alzheimer's.
00:11:06.35\00:11:08.79
Yeah, the testing
is not conclusive.
00:11:08.82\00:11:12.02
We have to go with doctors
00:11:12.05\00:11:13.70
who specializes in
neurology for testing
00:11:13.73\00:11:16.74
but there are certain tests--
00:11:16.77\00:11:18.67
there's one
simple test you can do
00:11:18.70\00:11:21.34
if you suspect a
loved one has Alzheimer's.
00:11:21.37\00:11:24.24
Simply what you do
is you draw a circle
00:11:24.27\00:11:27.54
on a piece of paper,
00:11:27.57\00:11:29.25
tell that person
to fill in that circle
00:11:29.28\00:11:32.52
with the numbers of a clock.
00:11:32.55\00:11:34.72
Okay.
00:11:34.75\00:11:35.92
With Alzheimer's they
have a hard problem doing that
00:11:35.95\00:11:38.32
because now you are
talking about visual perception.
00:11:38.35\00:11:41.95
They can't put a 12 here,
00:11:41.98\00:11:43.79
six here, three and nine.
00:11:43.82\00:11:46.21
They have a hard
problem just doing that.
00:11:46.24\00:11:49.65
That's a simple
test that you can do.
00:11:49.68\00:11:52.76
More of a standard test
00:11:52.79\00:11:54.39
is the Alzheimer's disease
assessment scale, all right,
00:11:54.42\00:11:59.70
where a doctor
simply administer that test.
00:11:59.73\00:12:02.50
Another test is called
the mini-mental state exam.
00:12:02.53\00:12:07.73
Mini-mental
state exam, all right,
00:12:07.76\00:12:10.95
takes about
maybe 10 or 15 minutes,
00:12:10.98\00:12:13.13
series of questions,
you answer the questions
00:12:13.16\00:12:15.31
and then you have a
score to enter that test
00:12:15.34\00:12:18.38
and determine your
score more or less determine
00:12:18.41\00:12:21.17
whether a person is experiencing
00:12:21.20\00:12:22.55
Alzheimer's diseases.
00:12:22.58\00:12:23.63
So those are two
main test are out there
00:12:23.66\00:12:26.79
that can be administered
by a person or professional
00:12:26.82\00:12:30.09
who does administer those
two types of test as well.
00:12:30.12\00:12:32.70
Okay, so what
that amounts me to then
00:12:32.73\00:12:34.89
you have to
actually go somewhere,
00:12:34.92\00:12:36.20
you have to take the person that
00:12:36.23\00:12:37.45
somewhere to take the test.
00:12:37.48\00:12:39.02
Yeah, a professional
00:12:39.05\00:12:40.12
who actually
specializes in that diseases.
00:12:40.15\00:12:42.93
But now the clock
that can be done at home?
00:12:42.96\00:12:44.99
Yeah, now the clock
you can do that at home
00:12:45.02\00:12:46.70
just kind of self test.
00:12:46.73\00:12:48.28
I mean, its not that scientific
but at least that's a start
00:12:48.31\00:12:51.67
but usually most family members
00:12:51.70\00:12:54.67
would discover
that their loved one,
00:12:54.70\00:12:57.25
because you have wondering
they may go out the house
00:12:57.28\00:13:01.98
with their
pajamas, may not come back.
00:13:02.01\00:13:06.46
Because it dealt
with first temporal lobe,
00:13:06.49\00:13:09.54
then occipital
lobe, parietal lobe
00:13:09.57\00:13:12.20
and the frontal lobe.
00:13:12.23\00:13:13.61
See, then therefore the
whole brain is affected.
00:13:13.64\00:13:16.80
But its three different
stages so depends on what stage
00:13:16.83\00:13:19.88
that person is
determines their behavior,
00:13:19.91\00:13:23.57
the personality, the perception
00:13:23.60\00:13:26.42
where they are, forgetfulness
00:13:26.45\00:13:28.86
where you just told somebody
something five minutes ago,
00:13:28.89\00:13:32.35
they keep asking you
over and over and over again.
00:13:32.38\00:13:37.07
As the person who just,
you know, up there in age
00:13:37.10\00:13:40.30
may forget something then
they may remember later on
00:13:40.33\00:13:43.39
but person with Alzheimer's
00:13:43.42\00:13:45.02
they will keep asking you
over and over and over again.
00:13:45.05\00:13:47.64
So you know there
something is going on
00:13:47.67\00:13:48.89
so usually that's
to tell, tell sign
00:13:48.92\00:13:52.35
when some of those symptoms
00:13:52.38\00:13:54.07
where a person simply
knock themselves anymore.
00:13:54.10\00:13:57.79
Okay, that's very serious.
00:13:57.82\00:13:58.85
Yes, it is.
00:13:58.88\00:14:00.04
That's very serious.
00:14:00.07\00:14:01.10
Okay, so now if that's going on
00:14:01.13\00:14:03.25
with the individual
experiencing Alzheimer's
00:14:03.28\00:14:06.65
then of course what
about that caregiver
00:14:06.68\00:14:10.20
and that family member
00:14:10.23\00:14:11.31
if its happen to take
care of that individual?
00:14:11.34\00:14:13.89
Yeah, the caregiver sometimes
00:14:13.92\00:14:16.92
in just dealing
with their family members
00:14:16.95\00:14:18.70
in general sometime be suffered
00:14:18.73\00:14:20.71
because sometime the caregiver
00:14:20.74\00:14:23.15
kind of pass first before
the person they are caring for,
00:14:23.18\00:14:26.46
because its really a
burden not only financially
00:14:26.49\00:14:30.33
but more or less emotionally.
00:14:30.36\00:14:33.04
Some people have a
hard time dealing with this
00:14:33.07\00:14:35.70
than someone actually dies.
00:14:35.73\00:14:37.56
Because you see the
person right in front of them,
00:14:37.59\00:14:39.86
right in front of yourself,
00:14:39.89\00:14:41.66
your loved one, family member
00:14:41.69\00:14:43.75
and they do not
even recognize you.
00:14:43.78\00:14:46.23
There are some times
hard to deal with even more
00:14:46.26\00:14:48.38
so than a person
who actually dies.
00:14:48.41\00:14:50.62
I mean, because the
person is right there
00:14:50.65\00:14:52.32
but who actually, who are you?
00:14:52.35\00:14:55.45
You are the mother, father,
00:14:55.48\00:14:56.59
or brother, sister,
daughter, son, whatever.
00:14:56.62\00:14:59.74
So but Mitchell
came, she came with,
00:14:59.77\00:15:04.21
she came to the
First Church in Huntsville
00:15:04.24\00:15:06.63
when we did the
Alzheimer's Association.
00:15:06.66\00:15:09.68
She is a Alzheimer
representative in a community.
00:15:09.71\00:15:14.75
Let's go to the screen
because there is a 1-800 number
00:15:14.78\00:15:17.01
that people can call
for emotional support.
00:15:17.04\00:15:19.52
Let's go to the
screen at this time.
00:15:19.55\00:15:21.48
Here's the Alzheimer's Resources
00:15:21.51\00:15:23.03
and this is the
1-800 hotline everybody.
00:15:23.06\00:15:25.78
That's 1-800-272-3900
00:15:25.81\00:15:32.09
and that's a 1-800 hotline.
00:15:32.12\00:15:34.85
Anybody can call
here in United States
00:15:34.88\00:15:37.43
for caregivers, for referrals,
for emotional support.
00:15:37.46\00:15:41.84
Now if you call
during the working hours
00:15:41.87\00:15:44.97
the now hotline
will transfer you
00:15:45.00\00:15:46.91
over to your local
Alzheimer's Association.
00:15:46.94\00:15:51.15
Now in addition to
that the Alzheimer's.com
00:15:51.18\00:15:53.95
that's Alz.org
on the screen there.
00:15:53.98\00:15:57.30
They have a lot
of web-base learning,
00:15:57.33\00:16:00.50
e-learning for
health professionals,
00:16:00.53\00:16:03.87
health caregivers
also that purple--
00:16:03.90\00:16:07.56
"Praise in Purple, "
there's on the screen there
00:16:07.59\00:16:10.86
that's a new program
00:16:10.89\00:16:13.31
where Mitchell came
with more less her idea
00:16:13.34\00:16:15.62
from the Holy
Spirit in Huntsville
00:16:15.65\00:16:17.74
where this is more or less
00:16:17.77\00:16:19.09
she deals to
churches in a community
00:16:19.12\00:16:22.37
and people wear purple.
00:16:22.40\00:16:24.24
This more or less give
Alzheimer's a awareness day.
00:16:24.27\00:16:27.44
So at your church
00:16:27.47\00:16:29.34
people may wear
purple at their church.
00:16:29.37\00:16:33.08
May have a seminar
or maybe some workshops
00:16:33.11\00:16:35.18
or table with informational
Alzheimer's diseases.
00:16:35.21\00:16:39.10
And so she goes
throughout the neighborhood,
00:16:39.13\00:16:40.78
then throughout the
city and she has a passionate
00:16:40.81\00:16:42.80
for Alzheimer's because she--
00:16:42.83\00:16:44.82
her's family were touched
by Alzheimer's disease as well.
00:16:44.85\00:16:48.04
So that's a lot of information
00:16:48.07\00:16:49.74
that people can go
to write to the website
00:16:49.77\00:16:52.18
at this 1-800 number
for emotional support
00:16:52.21\00:16:54.87
also for learning and also
for other resources as well.
00:16:54.90\00:16:58.68
Well, I think then
it was so amazing to me
00:16:58.71\00:17:00.51
was that as I said before
00:17:00.54\00:17:01.89
all the people
actually came to the program
00:17:01.92\00:17:04.02
and were there and
they have in the clients
00:17:04.05\00:17:06.83
along with them as well.
00:17:06.86\00:17:08.18
And just to get the
information from Mitchell
00:17:08.21\00:17:10.24
it really opened up
a lot of people's eyes
00:17:10.27\00:17:12.32
and ears to understand
00:17:12.35\00:17:13.63
this whole thing about
Alzheimer's and dementia.
00:17:13.66\00:17:16.53
And very that number
you are talking about
00:17:16.56\00:17:20.28
the amount of individuals
00:17:20.31\00:17:21.78
is gonna be
actually saddle with that.
00:17:21.81\00:17:24.14
That's pretty deep but--
00:17:24.17\00:17:25.37
I mean, we are talking
about having every 68 seconds
00:17:25.40\00:17:32.54
some with
diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
00:17:32.57\00:17:35.07
Just like every minute
Alzheimer's, all right.
00:17:35.10\00:17:37.71
Keep in mind, baby
boomers, 10,000 a day reach 65.
00:17:37.74\00:17:43.46
And 65 is when you
really start seeing Alzheimer's
00:17:43.49\00:17:45.96
and then once you get
85 is simply quadruple.
00:17:45.99\00:17:50.08
But it can be
also in early states
00:17:50.11\00:17:52.53
like in the 40s and even 30s.
00:17:52.56\00:17:55.15
And we are told
about some other things too
00:17:55.18\00:17:56.81
as far as that
is concerned but--
00:17:56.84\00:17:59.03
so this is growing
at a increasing rate,
00:17:59.06\00:18:01.74
Alzheimer's diseases.
00:18:01.77\00:18:03.56
Well, I guess you
are saying to yourself,
00:18:03.59\00:18:06.75
you know, we're not
finished with Alzheimer's
00:18:06.78\00:18:08.32
so you know that we are
going to be doing some more.
00:18:08.35\00:18:10.09
I know we are gonna be
moving into a other section
00:18:10.12\00:18:11.82
of this talking
about the drug affect
00:18:11.85\00:18:13.84
and I know from there
00:18:13.87\00:18:14.90
we also gonna be
moving into some other things
00:18:14.93\00:18:17.42
that you can actually do.
00:18:17.45\00:18:18.85
looking at this
whole area of first times,
00:18:18.88\00:18:20.47
you are gonna make sure
00:18:20.50\00:18:21.53
but you stay by
to listen to those.
00:18:21.56\00:18:23.40
We are all going to kitchen.
00:18:23.43\00:18:24.50
I know you wonder whether
we are gonna cook or not.
00:18:24.53\00:18:26.59
And yes, we are.
00:18:26.62\00:18:27.75
As a matter of fact we
are going into the kitchen
00:18:27.78\00:18:29.82
and we're doing the
scallion cheddar wheat biscuits.
00:18:29.85\00:18:33.72
They are absolutely delicious.
00:18:33.75\00:18:34.96
Get your paper and your pencil
00:18:34.99\00:18:36.38
and meet us in the kitchen.
00:18:36.41\00:18:38.42
