Alzheimer’s is such an awful disease. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. With the Baby Boom generation now approaching retirement age, experts are predicting a tremendous increase in the numbers of people with Alzheimer’s. About four million people are currently suffering with the disease, but that figure could soar to four or more times that many in the coming years. There’s no cure, and no housing for that many patients, who require a great deal of attention and care.

How the situation will play out is anyone’s guess. At this point, the only silver lining is at the Alzheimer’s Prevention Foundation International (APFI) in Tucson, Arizona. Established by Dharma Singh Khalsa, M..D., the APFI is leading the way in cutting edge solutions for preventing Alzheimer’s. I encourage anyone who is concerned about minimizing the risk of developing this dreaded disease – or who wants to help a loved one who may be dealing with it -- to visit the website, read the four recommendations and follow them carefully. There’s nothing particularly challenging, difficult or costly about them, and no one is selling anything. I’m planning on interviewing Dr. Khalsa in the near future, so check back in a week or so to see if our Q and A has been posted.
