Therapist for Alzheimer’s wanted? The KsD might have a solution for you!
Unfortunately, every year more and more people worldwide fall ill with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. In 2016, there were already almost 2.0 million people affected in Germany, 10 million in Europe and 35.5 million worldwide. Unfortunately, the trend is rising, with 115 million cases of the disease predicted worldwide by 2050.
The fear of Alzheimer’s dementia is great, because until now this disease was considered incurable. There is still no effective drug, although the pharmaceutical industry has been working hard on it for a long time. The reason for this lies in the nature of the disease: it is now known that dementia is a generalised metabolic disease, which manifests itself in the central nervous system, i.e. in our brain.
The good news, however, is that the US neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen – after more than 30 years of intensive research – has shown that it is possible to prevent and cure Alzheimer’s dementia, at least as long as there is no overly advanced damage to certain nerve cells of the brain. According to his research findings, the causes of the disease are not only to be found in the genes, but our lifestyle is also decisive: undetected infections and chronic inflammation, long-term unhealthy nutrition or malnutrition, as well as exposure to certain toxins are essential factors that can trigger and also accelerate the disease.
Thus, dementia diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease would no longer be an unsolvable fate, as the disease is reversible through changes and adjustments in lifestyle. It is therefore also possible to protect oneself from dementia in a preventive way. Moreover, it has been shown in many dementia patients that the disease can be stopped or the course of the disease can even be reversed, even if one is in a slightly advanced stage.
Since this great opportunity must be seized, the project Knowledge stops Dementia would like to give you the opportunity to find suitable contacts in the preventive and therapeutic field. On the following pages we have therefore started to list doctors, therapists and coaches who practice in the field of dementia prevention or dementia therapy. All the therapists mentioned work holistically and individually on the patient with basic pillars in nutrition therapy, exercise therapy and other holistic forms of therapy. The identification and reduction of harmful substances and microbial loads is also part of the preventive as well as therapeutic approach, which is also particularly important in biological dentistry, for example. Please be aware, though, that the individual therapeutic approaches may vary and we cannot evaluate them in detail at this point.
In addition to the appropriate therapy, it is extremely important to treat dementia patients appropriately in everyday life, which can push relatives safely to their limits. It is therefore of particular concern to us to point out here projects and initiatives that offer dementia patients and in particular their relatives (and caregivers) help and support, exchange of experience, special programs, but also to offer possible starting points and face-to-face counseling.. The first step has now been taken with the ‘Singing Hospitals’, but we are sure that more projects will follow in the near future!
