For years, dementias have devastated the lives of millions of families. The disease is the 6th leading cause of death in America.
Every 66 seconds someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's, which is one of many forms of dementia.
In the past ten years, a great deal has been learned about this life-altering disease. Our baby boomers are surging into their golden years like a tsunami. Millions of Americans are hitting their 65th birthdays with a vision of living well into their 90’s -- healthy and active as long as they stay proactive about their lifestyle.
But what if their life’s path is destined to be different? What if because of genetics, environment, or just misjudging their own lifestyle, they wake up one day with a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or a form of dementia for which there is no cure? This is the beginning of a slow and long goodbye to family, loved ones, and friends - slipping into a devastating totally unknown abyss for all involved.
This newly released film that has been featured on PBS in Michigan is now starting to tour the country at a wide range of community showings. Throughout this film, we address multiple topics including early detection, caregiving for a loved one, latest research, how lifestyle affects your cognitive health, and a description of the world's blue zones. A must see for everyone.
