Dementia sufferers 'set to double' - BUT?.

News 21 09 2009: Dementia sufferers 'set to double'

British experts: The fact people are living longer than ever before is a major factor driving the increasing incidence of dementia and Alzheimer's. Their report suggests a total of 35.6 million people will have dementia in 2010. The World Alzheimer's Report (2009) says that, over the next 20 years, the number of people with dementia is expected to increase up to some; 40% EU; 63% North America, 77% southern Latin American; 89% developed Asia Pacific countries while 117% East Asia, 107% South Asia, 134 -146% in the rest of Latin America, and 125% in North Africa and the Middle East.

 

The symptoms to the effects of contamination could occur in less than a second or being broad and far-reaching while slow and unnoticeable take decades before “blips” start appearing to which Human Health degradation become visible from pollution while also taking its toll on other species too!. Could it be true that what’s written into History books be “catching-us-up”?.  

We applaud ourselves in finding new ways to demonstrate Power/Authority over others through Nuclear Testing, New armaments for war, New biotech drugs in the fight against germs/viruses, Irradiation - sterility of foodstuffs, New chemicals and methods for deployment in treating symptoms as a consequence of “back contamination” which today we term Pollution, New diseases and New strains of viruses.

 

Our lives have become dominated “in treating symptoms” as new ones appear daily needing further treatments to which a symptom Industry then justify its existence!. Perhaps akin to a Gov continuously being the cause of failure to which it grows through attaching New Bodies/organisms whose role be to treat symptoms – all stemming from chaos by Change!. By throwing a bigger spanner into the Nations gearbox one has a recession to which vast change now become necessary as teeth on cogs snap-off grinding all to a halt.

Blame as to “causes” must be directed away from Govs/Authority and so we all must now play “pin the tail on the donkey” as they provide a “lighting scene” thus exposing clues as to the failures of others and not their own!.

Dementia the Gov announce is because people are living longer while other experts announce that Alcohol be the major factor. Then we have experts saying that “smoking” be influential!. 

The US Centres for Disease Control published statistics in 2002 which shows that Alzheimer's started to become a significant factor from about 1979 onwards climbing heavily as to a cause of Death ( See graph ). In 2000 it was reported that only 10% of Alzheimers cases be genetically caused meaning that NINE out of TEN cases be caused by environmental factors.

Then we have that some 12 years prior to 1979 <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Britain suffered a Foot & Mouth epidemic which again arose in 2001 and to which an EU report “shamed” the Labour Gov for its handling of that event. The report refers to Breaches of Human and Environmental Health guidelines from emissions and “groundwater pollution”!!!!

Given an attitude by the Gov that “change” in whatever context (good or bad (through failure)) always provide jobs and further spending as a “fix” in gaining Votes there must come a time when the “fixing” becomes unaffordable and the symptoms out-of-control!. Although UK Tax Payers like US taxpayers themselves witness their skies full of aircraft dumping chemicals to which Govs deny any knowledge of, just how long will it be before the real truth be known as to them covering their own tracks as to past failure and where Ordinary people must suffer in being victims of them!. As Judgement Day looms for them we come to face internal chaos through memory loss and confusion while others species become extinct.

00 00 1967 Foot-and-mouth crisis

12 03 2001 Brown dismisses fears of foot and mouth spread.  THE Government dismissed fears yesterday that lorries taking carcasses of animals slaughtered in the foot and mouth epidemic to a rendering plant could spread the disease to unaffected areas. Farmers contacted The Telegraph to protest – they claimed that they had seen the legs of dead animals sticking out of lorries, despite assurances from the Government that only sealed lorries would be used.

21 11 2002 UK accused over foot-and-mouth. An EU report insists that a mass cull of animals on the scale carried out by the government to combat the widespread outbreak of the disease "will not be publicly acceptable again". Tory MEP Robert Sturdy said the report, the outcome of a year-long inquiry, "should shame the government". "Its inept handling of the foot-and-mouth outbreak is now well documented," he said. "It is no surprise that the government has done everything in its powers to hide this evidence from the British people." "There is also clear evidence that the government has been falsifying figures in an attempt to play down the true impact of the outbreak…..” The report continues: "The British government's decision to bury animal carcasses in mass graves or burn them on pyres as part of the mass culls was, at least in some cases, taken without adequate consultation of local institutions. "Because of this, there were breaches of human and environmental health guidelines from emissions and groundwater pollution.

25 03 2008 Stimulant and Depressive Drugs. A depressant is a drug that slows down bodily functions, including heart rate and breathing. The user tends to feel sluggish or tired. Stimulant drugs however speed up or excite all or part of the user’s body - some of these drugs can cause violent behaviors.

01 05 2008 Alzheimer Drug unavailability Judges unfair. Three judges found the process by which the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) decided to restrict the anti-dementia medicines for newly-diagnosed patients with mild Alzheimer's was procedurally unfair. The Nice decision of 2004 was challenged by drugs companies. John Young, managing director of Pfizer, said: "Contrary to Nice's position that they follow a fully fair and transparent process, the Court of Appeal found that this is not the case. "The failure of Nice to disclose these fundamentally important calculations has impaired the ability of stakeholders to engage fully in the appraisal process in order to provide final guidance that truly helps budget holders and clinicians make the best-quality decision possible for individual patients."

19 06 2008 NHS 'won't survive' dementia deluge. Leading scientists are warning the NHS will not survive the next 20 years unless funding for dementia improves. Dementia care currently costs the UK economy more than £17 billion, but that is expected to double to £35 billion within 20 years

01 11 2008 Experts warn of dementia 'epidemic' caused by alcohol. Research has shown that excessive alcohol consumption can lead to the loss of brain tissue, and binge-drinking is associated with an increased risk of alcohol-related dementia.

22 12 2008 All GPs to get dementia training. All NHS family doctors are to be trained to spot the early symptoms of dementia. Gov: "We will create opportunities for post-graduate education and training in dementia.".

03 02 2009 Hospitals to get dementia doctors. A senior doctor will oversee dementia care in every hospital in England. Health Secretary Alan Johnson and Care Services Minister Phil Hope will unveil the long-awaited National Dementia Strategy, which is aimed at improving diagnosis and treatment while saving almost £1 billion.

13 02 2009 Smoking – a ‘dementia risk' . Exposure to other people's smoke could increase the risk of dementia, researchers have said. People exposed to high levels of other people's smoke were 44% more likely to suffer cognitive impairment - affecting things like memory and ability to perform calculations.

Aluminum And Chemtrails
ALUMINUM - HEALTH AFFECTS - Behavioral Effects - dementia resulting from kidney dialysis related to aluminum toxicity causes memory loss, loss of coordination, confusion and disorientation. ALUMINUM TOXICITY: symptoms headaches, colic, dryness of skin and mucous membranes, tendency for colds, burning pain in head relieved by food, heartburn and an aversion to meat. Later symptoms include paralytic muscular conditions, loss of memory and mental confusion. OTHER POSSIBLE CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ALUMINUM TOXICITY: Alzheimer's disease, hypoparathyroidism, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, anemia, kidney dysfunction, liver dysfunction, hemolysis, Ceukocytosis, porphyria, colitis, neuromuscular disorders, osteomalacia, dental cavities, Parkinson's disease, dementia dialactica, and ulcers.

17 01 1997 ALUMINIUM OXIDE - National Poisons Information Service, Birmingham, UK.

commissioned and funded by the UK Departments of Health, and was designed as a source of detailed information for use by poisons information centres. Used as a component of paints and varnishes and in the manufacture of alloys, ceramics, glass, electrical insulators and resistors and as a catalyst for organic reactions. There is evidence from controlled studies among aluminium workers that chronic aluminium oxide exposure with an increased body aluminium burden may be associated with neurocognitive dysfunction but not increased mortality. An investigation into suspected aluminium-related dementia. Aluminium oxide should be kept well away from water, and is incompatible with strong oxidizers and chlorinated rubber. There is experimental evidence that aluminium inhibits bone mineralization partly by the deposition of aluminium at the osteoid/calcified-bone boundary thereby directly inhibiting calcium influx, and partly by aluminium accumulation in the parathyroid glands with suppression of parathyroid hormone secretion (Visser and Van de Vyver, 1985; Berland et al, 1988; Firling et al, 1994).

Proposed mechanisms of aluminium-induced neurotoxicity include free-radical damage via enhanced lipid peroxidation, impaired glucose metabolism, effects on signal transduction and protein modification and alterations in the axonal transport and phosphorylation state of   neurofilaments (Birchall and Chappell, 1988; Exley and Birchall, 1992; Erasmus et al, 1993; Winship, 1993; Haug et al, 1994; Joshi et al, 1994; Strong, 1994). It has also been suggested that low-level aluminium exposure may influence the body distribution of other essential metals with potential adverse metabolic effects (Röllin et al, 1991).

 

Neuropsychiatric toxicity

There is increasing speculation that Alzheimer's disease may be linked aetiologically to the accumulation of aluminium in the brain but this remains a highly contentious issue (Ebrahim, 1989; Petit, 1989; Murray et al, 1991; Crapper McLachlan, 1994; Munoz, 1994).

Animal studies have demonstrated the ability of aluminium to induce the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (Klatzo et al, 1965), impair the learning ability of rats, and increase brain acetylcholinesterase activity in a similar way to that seen in Alzheimer's disease (Bilkei-Gorzó, 1993).
