Infrared Helmet to Stave Off Alzheimer's

my mother is almost 89 years old with Alzheimers. she lives with me and i wanted to know if this helmet would work or even apply since she is older. she was diaganosed about 4 years ago and is on Namenda 10mg twice a day and aricept 10mg once a day. i have lost her to this awful disease and would love to get her back so there is memorial times for all of us. she just became a great grandmother and i am scared to leave her alone for five seconds, she forgets she has her in her arms, so i don't allow her to be alone with her and pretty much don't allow her to do hold her unless i'm not leaving her side. could let me know if this is possible for my mother and when it will be available. thanks so much. LIFE IS JUST TOOOOO SHORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

C. Jackson, you might try finding an e-mail addres for the company and asking them directly.
I hope there is a cure soon for your mother and all. May God bless you.

c.jackson,

This is currently in experimental stages. They do are not sure if it really works yet, and this is what its all about, to see if it does. Lets hope for positive results.

Is there someone we can contact to get information or be included in study for this new helmet? My husband (75) is in the early stages, and I would love to have information.

My husband...72 years old has been diagnosed with Alzheimers since 2003. His disease has progressed more rapidly in the past few months, necessitating my placing him in an adult day care...which, frankly is eating away at our savings at an alarming rate...so that I can continue to work, which is necessary for financial reasons as well as for my own mental welfare. I had him in a research program for a few months, but they released him from the program when he apparently developed an adverse reaction...unnoticed by us, but through MRI's by the research facility. This is destroying the quality of life for both of us. Our children are also very concerned and I don't want to burden them with the problems created by this awful disease. If there is any chance of any kind of help..why not try it on people who will otherwise have no purpose in continuing to live anyway? I also would love any additional information on how to contact this study. Donna

How can I find out more about this research? Can I get the publication where the study is reviewed? I am extremely interested in further detailed information!!!

My mom is 71 and is in the early stages and It's getting very hard because this has been going on since 2004 and I was told it will not get any better but worst. She still has life in her and I would love for her to enjoy her grand children. I would love to get more information about this or have her be included in the study. Please email me the information to whom I can get in contact to give me information.

This disease is not a joke because the person with the disease does not realized what they are doing. My mom now is at the stage of cursing, thinking we want to take her husband---(he's my dad) which she never did in her life. It's getting very hard for us.

If there's something sort of cure why not tested on the person who has the illness.

i had this done. i just dont remember how it went.

Dave;

I hope you never get to experience first hand how devastating this disease is or you'll be sorry you ever made that stupid comment.

My father and his 4 sisters died of Alzheimer's. We the children of all of them are very worried that it might be hereditary and one of us might get it. We are always on the look out for new information about new drugs to cure this awful disease. I would appreciate any information you can provide.
thank you.

Same question as one of your other readers.

How can I find out more about this research? Can I get the publication where the study is reviewed?

Are there any clinical trials at this time? My Mom is 81 years old and would be a very good candidate for this product.

Thank you,
Marcia

This is an investigational device with a limited trial, so I wouldn't be looking at this as a treatment option. This is currently in the realm of scientific research.

my mother has this diesease she is 80 years old,she wants to go home all time,but she is at home I tell her.mother asks the same questions over and over all day long this is terrible on the care takers of anyone who has this.more information on this treatment or a phone no. or some kind of information would be very helpfull.

Hello
My husband has been diagnosed with MS and now suffers with severe memory loss and finds this very frustrating as before he was quite a bright person. He is 44 years old and hopes that one day his memory would improve. Would he be able to trial the helmet for cognitive reasons. He is willing to try anything and become a guinea pig.
