Alzheimer Quotes - BrainyQuote

The medical literature tells us that the most effective ways to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and many more problems are through healthy diet and exercise. Our bodies have evolved to move, yet we now use the energy in oil instead of muscles to do our work. David Suzuki

Work, Health, Heart, Medical, Diabetes

Have you ever walked along a shoreline, only to have your footprints washed away? That's what Alzheimer's is like. The waves erase the marks we leave behind, all the sand castles. Some days are better than others. Pat Summitt

Waves, Better, You, Sand, Others, Leave

No matter who you are, what you've accomplished, what your financial situation is - when you're dealing with a parent with Alzheimer's, you yourself feel helpless. The parent can't work, can't live alone, and is totally dependent, like a toddler. As the disease unfolds, you don't know what to expect. Maria Shriver

Work, Alone, Yourself, Medical, Live

Suffering is always hard to quantify - especially when the pain is caused by as cruel a disease as Alzheimer's. Most illnesses attack the body; Alzheimer's destroys the mind - and in the process, annihilates the very self. Jeffrey Kluger

Pain, Suffering, Mind, Self, Body, Hard

I don't know why Alzheimer's was allowed to steal so much of my father before releasing him into the arms of death. But I know that at his last moment, when he opened his eyes, eyes that had not opened for many, many days, and looked at my mother, he showed us that neither disease nor death can conquer love. Patti Davis

Love, Mother, Father, Moment, Eyes, Know

If you don't have imagination, you stop being human; animals don't have imagination; Alzheimer's is the death of imagination. Devdutt Pattanaik

Death, Imagination, You, Animals, Stop

Although there have been warnings that it was coming for years, the Alzheimer's epidemic is here now and millions more families will be touched by this progressive - and ultimately fatal - disease unless its course can be altered. Jeanne Phillips

Will, Now, Progressive, Years, More

People do not realize that Alzheimer's is not old age. It is a progressive and fatal disease and staggering amounts of people develop Alzheimer's every day. Melina Kanakaredes

Age, Day, Old Age, People, Every Day

I think, in general, medicine in the 21st century will switch from healing the sick to upgrading the healthy... If you find ways to repair the memory damaged by Alzheimer's disease or dementia and so forth, it is very likely that the same methods could be used to upgrade the memory of completely healthy people. Yuval Noah Harari

Memory, Healing, People, Medicine, Sick

When people say, 'You have Alzheimer's,' you have no idea what Alzheimer's is. You know it's not good. You know there's no light at the end of the tunnel. That's the only way you can go. But you really don't know anything about it. And you don't know what to expect. Nancy Reagan

Good, Light, People, End, You, Know

Alzheimer's caregivers are heroes. Leeza Gibbons

This is why Alzheimer's is such a terrible disease: the body of the person you love is there, but they've gone - your husband is gone - and they become your child, and you have to look after them as you would a child. Judy Parfitt

Love, Child, Love Is, Husband, Body, You

You don't just wake up one day with dementia or Alzheimer's; these conditions are developmental. Even when a problem triggers the need to collect data, it's reviewed by a specialist and filed away. There's no central repository allowing information to be shared across a multitude of researchers worldwide. Tan Le

Day, Wake Up, Problem, Information, Data

I regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer's as an insult and decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces I could against this wretched disease. I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer's it's the best form of Alzheimer's to have. Terry Pratchett

Best, Finding, You, Kind, They Say, Say

Alzheimer's is a disease for which there is no effective treatment whatsoever. To be clear, there is no pharmaceutical agent, no magic pill that a doctor can prescribe that will have any significant effect on the progressive downhill course of this disease. David Perlmutter

Doctor, Magic, Will, Pharmaceutical

In my clinical practice, the one diagnosis I always dreaded giving was Alzheimer's. Billions have been spent on research, but there's still neither a cure nor an effective treatment. Michael Greger

Practice, Giving, Research, Always, Cure

Alzheimer's disease is never an 'accident' in a marriage. It falls under the purview of God's sovereignty. In the case of someone with Alzheimer's, this means God's unconditional and sacrificial love has an opportunity to be even more gloriously displayed in a life together. Joni Eareckson Tada

Life, Love, Marriage, God, Opportunity

My grandmother died from Alzheimer's, and it was a big shock. For the families left behind, it is not an easy closure. It's not a gradual fading. The person is losing so much of their humanity as they're dying. Losing your memories, you lose so much of who you are as a person. Rosecrans Baldwin

Memories, Losing, Humanity, You, Easy

I think dementia is the major healthcare threat to our economy and our security. It's a ticking time bomb - we have a whole generation of baby boomers that are going to age, many progressing to get Alzheimer's - which disproportionately affects women and minorities. Vivek Ramaswamy

Women, Time, Age, Baby, Generation

Caring for an Alzheimer's patient is a situation that can utterly consume the lives and well-being of the people giving care, just as the disorder consumes its victims. Leeza Gibbons

Caring, Giving, People, Care, Situation

Alzheimer's disease starts when a protein that should be folded up properly misfolds into a kind of demented origami. Gregory Petsko

Kind, Up, Disease, Protein, Should

I gave three years of my life to take care of my dying mother who had Alzheimer's disease. Being there for her every need for three years might have looked codependent but it wasn't because it was what I wanted to do. Melody Beattie

Life, Mother, Care, My Life, Three, Need

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, brain and spinal cord disorders, diabetes, cancer, at least 58 diseases could potentially be cured through stem cell research, diseases that touch every family in America and in the world. Rosa DeLauro

Family, World, Diabetes, Research, Brain

In my case, symptoms began to appear when I was only 57. In fact, the doctors believe early-onset Alzheimer's has a strong genetic predictor, and that it may have been progressing for some years before I was diagnosed. Pat Summitt

Strong, Believe, Years, Genetic, Only

It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer's you are an old fart. That's how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone. Terry Pratchett

Alone, Brave, People, You, Feel, See

It occurred to me that at one point it was like I had two diseases - one was Alzheimer's, and the other was knowing I had Alzheimer's. Terry Pratchett

Me, Knowing, Point, Two, Like, Diseases
