Alzheimer Quotes - BrainyQuote

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

Away, Behind, Some

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

Health, Medical, Through

I think, in general, medicine in the 21st century will switch from healing the sick to upgrading the healthy...

Yuval Noah Harari

Repair, I Think, Very

Medical, Financial, Parent

Well-Being, Lives, Consume

Through, Least, Cell

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

Every Day, Disease, Old

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

Disease, Old, Against

I think I'm getting a little bit of Alzheimer's. Just a little. Christopher Walken

Think, I Think, Getting

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

Mind, Always, Very

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

Away, Developmental, Shared

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, Idea, About

With Alzheimer's patients, you have to be very careful what you say when you're looking at them over their bed. Because once in a while, they understand it. Nancy Reagan

Bed, Over, Very

Alzheimer's is literally killing us, and the only way to fight this 'crime' is through a groundswell of people who continue to raise their voices and funds to ensure it gets the attention it deserves. Tess Gerritsen

Through, Ensure, Literally

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

Knowing, Other, Occurred

I loved my husband very much, and it was heartbreaking to have him develop Alzheimer's disease, and to stand by and watch him decline in his ability to take care of himself. Sandra Day O'Connor

Disease, Very, Heartbreaking

Somehow, knowing that Alzheimer's is coming mocks all one's aspirations - to tell stories, to think through certain issues as only a novel can do, to be recognised for one's accomplishments and hard work - in a way that old familiar death does not. Jane Smiley

Death, Tell, Through

Alzheimer's caregivers are heroes. Leeza Gibbons

I think the best thing I ever did with my life was stand up and say I've got Alzheimer's. Terry Pratchett

My Life, Think, I Think

I don't have Alzheimer's. I have part-timer's. Glen Campbell

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

Magic, Which, Whatsoever

Traditionally, when you talk to people who have Parkinson's or Alzheimer's, they'll talk about how they're in five or six studies, and they've been sequenced by each study.

Data, Study, Been
