Difference Between Alzheimer’s & Dementia | Dr. David Greene Arizona

Dementia is the name for a group of brain disorders that make it hard to remember, think clearly, make decisions, or even control your emotions, said Dr. David Greene Arizona, founder, and CEO of R3 Stem Cell. Alzheimer’s disease is one of those disorders, but there are many different types and causes of dementia. Dementia isn’t just about simple memory mishaps -- like forgetting someone’s name or where you parked. A person with dementia has a hard time with at least two of the following:
  • Memory
  • Communication and speech
  • Focus and concentration
  • Reasoning and judgment
  • Visual perception (can’t see the difference in colors or detect movement, or sees things that aren’t there)
Alzheimer’s Disease: According to Dr. David Greene, it is the most common type of dementia. About 60% to 80% of people who have dementia have Alzheimer’s. It’s a progressive condition, which means it gets worse over time, and it usually affects people over 65 years old. It happens when proteins (called plaques) and fibers (called tangles) build up in your brain and block nerve signals and destroy nerve cells. Memory loss may be mild at first, but symptoms become worse over time.

A doctor can’t say you have Alzheimer’s with absolute certainty, but there are things he can do to be fairly sure, mentioned David Greene Orthopedic. They include tests of your attention, memory, language, and vision, and looking at images of the brain. These images are taken with an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), which uses powerful magnets and radio waves to make detailed pictures.

Since it is a common disease in elders, according to a survey, a third senior citizen in the USA will die having some form of Alzheimer's dementia, and the incidence continues to increase as individuals live longer. There is no cure, and conventional treatments often do not help dramatically. Enter stem cell therapy for Alzheimer's in Mexico at R3 Stem Cell International. Several early studies have shown significant benefits for Alzheimer's disease with stem cell treatment.
