By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

A form of vitamin D3 together with curcumin, a chemical found in the spice turmeric, may stimulate the body's immune system to clear amyloid beta from the brain. Amyloid beta are waxy deposits that result from the degeneration of tissue and form plaques that are a distinguishing characteristic of Alzheimer's disease.
Scientists from UCLA and UC Riverside and the Human BioMolecular Research Institute took blood samples from nine Alzheimer's patients, and also from a patient with mild cognitive impairment and three healthy subjects. They isolated the monocyte cells, which change into macrophages that neutralize waste products in the brain and body, including amyloid beta. The researchers took the monocyte cells and incubated them with amyloid beta, vitamin D3, and either natural or synthetic curcumin.
I questioned a neurologist about supplements but professionals only seem to know about drugs that reduce the problems associated with the symptoms of dementia. The difficulty with supplements is that there is little financial incentive to scientifically evaluate people's experimental findings. The Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) I mentioned is simply an antioxidant that has been helpful for some people with Type 2 diabetes because it reduces insulin resistance. Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is also an antioxidant and is claimed to help the mind focus. Why the combination of ALA and ALCAR was helpful for at least two people with dementia is a matter of conjecture. The same can be said for coconut oil which is claimed to feed the brain with ketones. I've only heard of that helping one person, but there is a prescription product that includes a substantial amount of cocnut oil -- sorry I don't remember the name. Sniffing insulin to get insulin into the brain via the olfactory pathway is mentioned in "The Alzheimer's Project" book. This has a better chance of scientific evaluation because it could lead to greater use of insulin -- a big financial incentive. If I had dementia I would do some of this supplement testing, but for now I just do the reading.
some kind of authority to go to the doc with them, I got one form at one doc, I think they are too old or something for the five wishes. I work at the funeral home, so that doesn't help :(
thanks for answering, and Merry Christmas
