I highly recommend this video for anybody who Alzheimer's Disease has touched their life but this was produced 2004 and without viewing the followup program it may leave you hanging with questions that have, and are now being answered. [...]

I viewed this progam on 8-3-08 when aired in early morning hours. I was so glad I just happened across it in flipping through the channels. My mother at the age of 69 is experiencing worstening dimensia that has come on very quickly. This program helped me understand so much about the affects of dimensia/Alzheimer's Disease, and the progressive research that has been done in regard to it. I was so excited about what I had seen and learned, I called my parents and told them about it the next day, and am ordering the DVD to share with them when I go to visit them in a couple of weeks. I believe this program will help all of us and others in our family to have a better understanding of the disease. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about Alzheimer's Disease, and studies done in regard to it. THANK YOU to all who are doing such diligent research in this area, and for whoever put this progam together! It gave me hope.

I am the youngest of three now living and caring for my 83 year old mother who is now in the early stages of Alzheimer's (sister and brother live out of state). I need to say a special thank you to those who made this documentary available because I really thought I was in a losing battle! What peace I have felt all day after viewing this documentary last night! Although we are still in the early stages and I know our road will be long and bumpy but you have helped me to reach a better place of understanding. I am purchasing a DVD copy to give to my mother's doctor so that others who might not have the opportunity will now be able to learn! Write your local government about for support!

Iam a caregiver for my 82 year old mother with dementia - not an easy task. After watching your documentary I felt hopeful. We need to speak out to our leaders about funding on projects done by Dr. Tanzi and others.
