It depends on which way you do it I think.

Dementia 'linked' to common over-the-counter drugs

The study estimated that people taking at least 10 mg/day of doxepin (antidepressant), 4 mg/day of diphenhydramine (a sleep aid), or 5 mg/day of oxybutynin (a urinary incontinence drug) for more than three years would be at greater risk of developing dementia.

Or don't do it.

The researchers say doctors and pharmacists might want to take a precautionary approach and offer different treatments instead. And when there is no alternative, they could give the lowest dose for the shortest time possible.

Dr Gray says some of the study participants have agreed to have an autopsy after their death.

"We will look at the brain pathology and see

Be interested to read the autopsy report.

EXCLUSIVE: Natural News tests flu vaccine for heavy metals, finds 25,000 times higher mercury level than EPA limit for water

(NaturalNews) Mercury tests conducted on vaccines at the Natural News Forensic Food Lab have revealed a shockingly high level of toxic mercury in an influenza vaccine (flu shot) made by GlaxoSmithKline (lot #9H2GX). Tests conducted via ICP-MS document mercury in the Flulaval vaccine at a shocking 51 parts per million, or over 25,000 times higher than the maximum contaminant level of inorganic mercury in drinking water set by the EPA.(1)

Wow. Now we know why there's an epidemic of alzheimers

You do realize we have an epidemic of alzheimers and more kids with ADHD than any time in history.
I heard it's 10% kids with ADHD but I don't believe it. It sounds too high to be possible.

Larger population = more problems? Must be the gene pool.

Nowadays a lot of kids are being diagnosed with ADHD that never would have years ago. It's the only way schools can get special services for kids who need it for whatever other reasons, so they push for the diagnosis to get services. Probably one of my kids (out of three, so that's 33%) would have been dx'd with hyperactivity, but I never sent him for whatever testing is required. He turned out fine. Employers actually like hyperkinetic people, they are workaholics if properly directed. Not lazy, sitting around waiting to collect a paycheck. (Yes there are actually kids with ADHD, but not in the numbers being claimed)

The article you reference makes a distinction between a linked and "causal," and states that they are not saying that this is "causal."

Getting older is also linked to a higher risk of getting dementia, but getting older is not the cause of it. Having a lower level of education is linked to a higher risk for dementia, but it is not the cause of it.

Link does not equal cause.
Correlation does not equal cause.

Some thoughts on the original question of the thread - how to prevent dementia. There are some causal factors that are known with certain types of dementia - on of them being vascular causes. So reducing risk factors for vascular disease is helpful in preventing vascular dementia (cholesterol, high blood pressure etc.). So diet, exercise, not smoking etc. will all help reduce the risk.

Link does not equal cause.
Correlation does not equal cause.

So nothing = cause.

Therefore it's okay to do anything you want.

Therefore blast your brain with every possible drug you can think of
ritalin
depression drugs
vaccines

but nothing = cause

except maybe luck. you get alzheimers if you're unlucky I suppose.

But you get to meet new friends every day!

The good part is they don't know they have it but it's very frustrating (and scary) while they slowly progress to that point.

i saw aluminum in children's vitamins at a dollar store recently.

aluminum is in everything these days.


hope people aren't unlucky and get alzheimers

[Fancy]

Aluminum used in baking powder has been around a lot longer than "these days".
