More on reversing cognitive decline

  I’ve not added many blogs here or on my other websites for some time, but as I am in Kyoto currently, soon to listen to discussions about research and other matters related to all types of dementia, I am reminded of what I still believe to be the most exciting research in the world,Continue reading “More on reversing cognitive decline”

Don’t give up

Like my food blog, I’ve not been here for some time… The only suggestion I can think of this week, for living beyond dementia, is to not give up! A very close friend’s son died unexpectedly, a colleagues house burned to the ground, including their pets, and the week before that, a close girlfriends husband hadContinue reading “Don’t give up”

Reversal of cognitive decline 2016

I’ve not been blogging much lately, barely monthly here, and certainly not daily on my other blog like I used to. I suppose though, it is good to report the reason why is I am actually too busy living beyond dementia to have the time! However I am keeping up with Prof. Dale Bredesens’ latest research, and do recommend youContinue reading “Reversal of cognitive decline 2016”

Dementia: enabling, inclusive and accessible

  It appears even to me, I am too busy. My commitment to write a daily blog on my other website has failed miserably this year, and my goal to publish at least one per month here has just failed as well!

Living Beyond Dementia™ can be difficult

This month on my Living Beyond Dementia™ site, I thought it might be important to write about how bloody hard it is to live like this, and how many people without dementia either don’t want us to, or don’t believe it is even possible to live beyond dementia. You might wonder, why would others notContinue reading “Living Beyond Dementia™ can be difficult”

On the 17th of March 2015 at World Health Organisation’s First Ministerial Conference on Dementia in Geneva, and as Chair of DAI, I placed the Human Rights and DisAbility Rights of people with dementia onto the world stage. Last week in Budapest, at the Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) Council meeting held prior to their conference, forContinue reading “Dementia and human rights”

#LivingBeyondDementia

One would have to say, I am managing to live beyond dementia, and alongside of it, in spite of the dark days. Last week, my first book on dementia, titled What the Hell Happened to my Brain?: Living beyond dementia was officially released, as pictured here. I am thankful to Shibley Rahman for the imageContinue reading “#LivingBeyondDementia”
