Alzheimer’s Quotes

# Charles Boustany

As a physician, I treated hundreds of patients who needed long-term care, including ones with Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s Quotes

# Sean Lock

I’m hoping I don’t get Alzheimer’s.

Sean Lock quotes about Alzheimers

# Terry Pratchett

I know three people who have got better after a brain tumour. I haven’t heard of anyone who’s got better from Alzheimer’s.

Terry Pratchett Quotes about Alzheimers

# Pat Summitt

Have you ever walked along a shoreline, only to have your footprints washed away? That’s what Alzheimer’s is like. The waves erase the marks we leave behind, all the sand castles. Some days are better than others.

Alzheimer’s Quotes

# Jeffrey Kluger

Suffering is always hard to quantify – especially when the pain is caused by as cruel a disease as Alzheimer’s. Most illnesses attack the body; Alzheimer’s destroys the mind – and in the process, annihilates the very self.

Jeffrey Kluger Quotes about Alzheimer

# Terry Pratchett

It seems that when you have cancer you are a brave battler against the disease, but when you have Alzheimer’s you are an old fart. That’s how people see you. It makes you feel quite alone.

Terry Pratchett Quotes about Alzheimer

#Gemma Jones

Even if your parents don’t have Alzheimer’s or aren’t in a wheelchair, your parents get old – if you’re lucky to have parents who live for a long time. It’s a challenge, and it’s difficult and lovely and touching and awful and ghastly and real.

Gemma Jones Quotes about Alzheimer

# Aubrey de Grey

There’s no such thing as ageing gracefully. I don’t meet people who want to get Alzheimer’s disease, or who want to get cancer or arthritis or any of the other things that afflict the elderly. Ageing is bad for you, and we better just actually accept that.

Aubrey de Grey Quotes about Alzheimer

# Nancy Reagan

When people say, ‘You have Alzheimer’s,’ you have no idea what Alzheimer’s is. You know it’s not good. You know there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. That’s the only way you can go. But you really don’t know anything about it. And you don’t know what to expect.

Nancy Reagan Quotes about Alzheimer

# Glen Campbell

I don’t have Alzheimer’s. I have part-timer’s.

Glen Campbell Quotes about Alzheimer

# Pat Robertson

I hate Alzheimer’s. It is one of the most awful things because, here is a loved one, this is the woman or man that you have loved for 20, 30, 40 years, and suddenly, that person is gone. They’re gone. They are gone.

Pat Robertson Quotes about Alzheimer

# Amy Tan

People think it’s a terrible tragedy when somebody has Alzheimer’s. But in my mother’s case, it’s different. My mother has been unhappy all her life. For the first time in her life, she’s happy.

Amy Tan Quotes about Alzheimer

# Craig Venter

The fact that I have a risk genetically for Alzheimer’s and blindness is not great news. But the reality is that any one of us will have dozens of these risks, and what we have to learn is how to deal with them.

Craig Venter Quotes about Alzheimer

# Melody Beattie

I gave three years of my life to take care of my dying mother who had Alzheimer’s disease. Being there for her every need for three years might have looked codependent but it wasn’t because it was what I wanted to do.

Melody Beattie Quotes about Alzheimer

# Robert Sapolsky

My lab looks at the ability of stress hormones to kill brain cells, and basically we are trying to understand on a molecular level how a neuron dies after a stroke, a seizure, Alzheimer’s, brain aging, and what these stress hormones do to make it worse.

Robert Sapolsky Quotes about Alzheimer

# Bonnie Tyler

My mother, who died aged 82, had Alzheimer’s. Losing your memory is bad enough, but everything shuts down. You can’t remember how to eat or go to the toilet. It’s a terrible disease and so distressing to watch it take over someone you love.


Bonnie Tyler Quotes about Alzheimer

# Bill Maris

As life expectancy extends beyond 80 years in some parts of the world, more people are struggling with brain diseases. For older people, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other conditions become a major impediment to quality of life.

Bill Maris Quotes about Alzheimer

# Pat Summitt

Competition got me off the farm and trained me to seek out challenges and to endure setbacks; and in combination with my faith, it sustains me now in my fight with Alzheimer’s disease.

Pat Summitt Quotes about Alzheimer

# Patti Davis

My father started growing very quiet as Alzheimer’s started claiming more of him. The early stages of Alzheimer’s are the hardest because that person is aware that they’re losing awareness. And I think that that’s why my father started growing more and more quiet.

# David Andrew Sinclair

The ultimate goal is to have a pill that can prevent or reverse all diseases of aging. The major diseases that I’d like to tackle are heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and cancer. I want to reduce those diseases by 10 percent.

David Andrew Sinclair Quotes about Alzheimer

# Devdutt Pattanaik

If you don’t have imagination, you stop being human; animals don’t have imagination; Alzheimer’s is the death of imagination.

Devdutt Pattanaik Quotes about Alzheimer

# Monty Don

My father was an army officer who left the forces when I was six and never really fitted back into civilian life. My mother had five children and a mother with Alzheimer’s, who lived with us, so I imagined that she had a lot to do.

Monty Don Quotes about Alzheimer

# Tan Le

You don’t just wake up one day with dementia or Alzheimer’s; these conditions are developmental. Even when a problem triggers the need to collect data, it’s reviewed by a specialist and filed away. There’s no central repository allowing information to be shared across a multitude of researchers worldwide.

# Anne Wojcicki

Traditionally, when you talk to people who have Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, they’ll talk about how they’re in five or six studies, and they’ve been sequenced by each study. That’s just fat in the system. Just have a single data set that then you can share. You can make the entire system more efficient.

# Paul Allen

Everyone’s dream is to take a pill – take a pill every day so you won’t have Alzheimer’s.

Paul Allen Quotes about Alzheimer

# Jim Nantz

Hello, friends.’ I’ve had fun with that expression to satisfy the cynics, but it comes from the heart, and I don’t apologize for it. Like my dad – for whom I designed the expression during the 2002 PGA Championship, when he was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease – I’ve never met a stranger.

# Pat Summitt

In my case, symptoms began to appear when I was only 57. In fact, the doctors believe early-onset Alzheimer’s has a strong genetic predictor, and that it may have been progressing for some years before I was diagnosed

Pat Summitt Quotes about Alzheimer

# Maria Shriver

No matter who you are, what you’ve accomplished, what your financial situation is – when you’re dealing with a parent with Alzheimer’s, you yourself feel helpless. The parent can’t work, can’t live alone, and is totally dependent, like a toddler. As the disease unfolds, you don’t know what to expect.

# Gregory Petsko

Alzheimer’s disease starts when a protein that should be folded up properly misfolds into a kind of demented origami.

Gregory Petsko Quotes about Alzheimer

# Sean Duffy

I’m jumping on a trend to try to engage my younger constituents. They need to know that a lot of what’s happening now will impact their futures. If taking a ‘selfie’ with the chair of the SEC, Steny Hoyer, or Alzheimer’s research advocates, gets their attention, then it’s worth it. Plus, it’s fun.

# Mehmet Oz

You get the health benefits of coffee up through about the first twenty-four ounces. It’s the biggest source of antioxidants for Americans, and we think it helps prevent Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s as well.

Mehmet Oz Quotes about Alzheimer

# Janet Hubert

We are not brain surgeons. We are not curing cancer. We are not finding the next cure for Alzheimer’s. We are simply and merely entertainment. We take on and wear the masks of characters. That’s what we’re paid to do.

Janet Hubert Quotes about Alzheimer

# James Cromwell

I play an 89-year-old man whose wife has Alzheimer’s in a movie called ‘Still.’ I play a World War II veteran, I acted with my son and it’s called ‘Memorial Day.’

James Cromwell Quotes about Alzheimer

# Terry Pratchett

It occurred to me that at one point it was like I had two diseases – one was Alzheimer’s, and the other was knowing I had Alzheimer’s.

Terry Pratchett Quotes about Alzheimer

# Laurie Graham

As well as writing novels and doing short-order journalism, I am also the full-time carer of my husband, who has Alzheimer’s. Each day feels like a race that must be run.

Laurie Graham Quotes about Alzheimer

# Adam Cohen

People’s genes can say a great deal about their health. There are genes that reveal an increased likelihood of getting cancer, heart disease or Alzheimer’s.

Adam Cohen Quotes about Alzheimer

# David Perlmutter

Alzheimer’s is a disease for which there is no effective treatment whatsoever. To be clear, there is no pharmaceutical agent, no magic pill that a doctor can prescribe that will have any significant effect on the progressive downhill course of this disease.

# Laurie Graham

With Alzheimer’s, recent memory is affected first. At the start, you count the memory loss in days, then hours – then in minutes. But there’s also an insidious backward creep of deterioration.

Laurie Graham Quotes about Alzheimer

# Jim Nantz

In 2011, my wife, Courtney, and I, with my amazing mother and sister, opened the Nantz National Alzheimer Center at Houston Methodist Hospital.

Jim Nantz Quotes about Alzheimer

# Jim Nantz

Alzheimer’s is such an insidious disease.

Jim Nantz Quotes about Alzheimer

# Patti Davis

I don’t know why Alzheimer’s was allowed to steal so much of my father before releasing him into the arms of death. But I know that at his last moment, when he opened his eyes, eyes that had not opened for many, many days, and looked at my mother, he showed us that neither disease nor death can conquer love.

# Eric Kandel

When I was a medical student in the 1950s, we practically never spoke about Alzheimer’s disease. And why is that so? And that is because people didn’t live long enough to have Alzheimer’s disease.

Eric Kandel Quotes about Alzheimer

# Nancy Reagan

With Alzheimer’s patients, you have to be very careful what you say when you’re looking at them over their bed. Because once in a while, they understand it.

Nancy Reagan Quotes about Alzheimer

# David Andrew Sinclair

As we get better at reversing aging it will be possible to take one medicine and within weeks feel and even look younger. Imagine going to a doctor to get a pill for diabetes, and this same medicine will prevent heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and will give you more vitality too.

# Karolyn Grimes

My mother had early-onset Alzheimer’s, and it took her four years to die. She was only 44; I was 14.

Karolyn Grimes Quotes about Alzheimer

# Conan O’Brien

In a prime-time address, President Bush said he backed limited federal funding for stem cell research. That’s right, the President said, this is a quote, the research could help cure brain diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and whatever it is I have.

# Michael Greger

Cholesterol – which you get from eating too much of the wrong kind of fat – doesn’t just help clog arteries in the brain, it may also help to seed the amyloid plaques that riddle the brain tissue of Alzheimer’s victims.

Michael Greger Quotes about Alzheimer

# Ray Romano

I’m always giving myself the Alzheimer’s test. My shrink told me to do this. It takes one minute. You name every word that comes to mind that begins with the letter F.

Ray Romano Quotes about Alzheimer

# Patti Davis

Decades later I would look into my father’s eyes and try to reach past the murkiness of Alzheimer’s with my words, my apology, hoping that in his heart he heard me and understood.

Patti Davis Quotes about Alzheimer

# Aaron Ciechanover

We are paying the price for living longer, collecting degenerative diseases along the way. Cancer is only one. Others are heart and brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinsons.

Aaron Ciechanover Quotes about Alzheimer

# Patti Davis

Laura Bush went on national television during the week of my father’s funeral and spoke out against embryonic stem cell research, pointing out that where Alzheimer’s is concerned, we don’t have proof that stem-cell treatment would be effective.

# Charlie Pierce

In 1989, my father died after a prolonged struggle with Alzheimer’s disease. All four of his siblings followed him into the shadow lands of that fascinating, maddening affliction.

Charlie Pierce Quotes about Alzheimer

# John O’Keefe

I am particularly interested in Alzheimer’s disease and have been for some time now.


John O’Keefe Quotes about Alzheimer

# Sue Miller

My mother was a dramatic and egocentric person, and she died before my father, who died of Alzheimer’s disease. But I’d often thought, God, we were so lucky that was the order in which they died because she would have felt put upon.

Sue Miller Quotes about Alzheimer

# Bonnie Tyler

Alzheimer’s is a horrible thing. Some people are naive about it. They think, ‘Oh it’s just your memory,’ but my mother was in terrible pain. Your body closes down. She didn’t know if she’d eaten or if she wanted to eat. She couldn’t remember how to walk. Towards the end, she didn’t know us. It came gradually, then it got worse.

# Jo Brand

I believe that if your brain has to get to grips with complicated words, then you won’t get Alzheimer’s. I’m sure it’s not true, but I do believe it.

Jo Brand Quotes about Alzheimer

# Gregory Benford

We hope we can slow or possibly reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

I think the best thing I ever did with my life was stand up and say I’ve got Alzheimer’s. Terry Pratchett Life Best My Life As far as protecting yourself against Alzheimer’s disease, well, it turns out that fish oil has the effect of reducing your risk for Alzheimer’s disease. You should also keep your blood pressure down, because chronic high blood pressure is the biggest single risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease.

# Jeanne Phillips

Although there have been warnings that it was coming for years, the Alzheimer’s epidemic is here now and millions more families will be touched by this progressive – and ultimately fatal – disease unless its course can be altered. Jeanne Phillips

Jeanne Phillips Quotes about Alzheimer

# Joni Eareckson Tada

Alzheimer’s disease is never an ‘accident’ in a marriage. It falls under the purview of God’s sovereignty. In the case of someone with Alzheimer’s, this means God’s unconditional and sacrificial love has an opportunity to be even more gloriously displayed in a life together.

# Liz Smith

Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer’s.

Liz Smith Quotes about Alzheimer

# David Perlmutte

The bottom line is that this author, a practicing neurologist dealing with Alzheimer’s disease on a daily basis, believes we need to expand the public awareness that modifiable lifestyle factors have a profound role to play in determining who will or won’t get this disease.

# David Perlmutter

Even slight elevations in blood sugar have been shown to increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

David Perlmutter Quotes about Alzheimer

# Ike Skelton

In addition to relieving patient suffering, research is needed to help reduce the enormous economic and social burdens posed by chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, cancer, heart disease, and stroke.

# Eric Kandel

It may act as an ancillary factor, but by itself, the mutation in tau doesn’t give you Alzheimer’s disease. This is not to say the tau is not very important. It may be important in propagating the disorder from one cell to another. But as a causal mechanism, the evidence is strongest for beta amyloid abnormalities.

# Rich Moore

You know how they say that old people with Alzheimer’s, they kind of go back, and they revert to the most emotional part of their life, what they did when they were younger… I think I am going to be cursed with reliving ‘Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope’ in my mind. And playing ‘Dragon’s Layer’ when I enter Alzheimer’s.

# Daniel Akaka

New drugs and surgical techniques offer promise in the fight against cancer, Alzheimer’s, tuberculosis, AIDS, and a host of other life-threatening diseases. Animal research has been, and continues to be, fundamental to advancements in medicine.

Daniel Akaka Quotes about Alzheimer

# Sherry Turkle

Technology challenges us to look at our human values. We can try to use technology to cure Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, which would be a blessing, but that blessing is not a reason to move from artificial brain enhancement to artificial intimacy.

Sherry Turkle Quotes about Alzheimer

# Michael Greger

In my clinical practice, the one diagnosis I always dreaded giving was Alzheimer’s. Billions have been spent on research, but there’s still neither a cure nor an effective treatment.

Michael Greger Quotes about Alzheimer

# David Perlmutter

Inflammation is the cornerstone of Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis – all of the neurodegenerative diseases are really predicated on inflammation.

David Perlmutter Quotes about Alzheimer

# John O’Keefe

It turns out that this part of the brain is one of the first areas that’s attacked by Alzheimer’s disease. So we can now use some of the basic understanding of this part of the brain to ask the simple question, ‘What is going wrong with these special cells in the hippocampus at the very earliest stages?

# Mike Huckabee

Doesn’t matter whether it’s a teen girl who’s pregnant, hasn’t told her parents, or an elderly couple dealing with one of them being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Those are real people to me. Those are the people I dealt with every single day.

Mike Huckabee Quotes about Alzheimer

# Jim Nantz

My father passed away due to Alzheimer’s disease, and many things I do are nods to him.

Jim Nantz Quotes about Alzheimer

# John O’Keefe

I can’t say when we will have a cure, but we now know through our findings how to ask the question of what is going wrong at the earliest stage of Alzheimer’s.

John O’Keefe Quotes about Alzheimer

# Anne Wojcicki

Some genetic variants can be informative about one’s risk for Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.

Anne Wojcicki Quotes about Alzheimer

# Patti Davis

I often imagine what it would be like if my father were still here to mark his 100th birthday, if Alzheimer’s hadn’t clawed away years, possibilities, hopes. What would he think of all the commemorations and celebrations?

Patti Davis Quotes about Alzheimer

# Charlie Pierce

As a writer, I have to admit, there is something darkly compelling about Alzheimer’s because it attacks the two things most central to a writer’s craft – language and memory, which together make up an individual’s identity. Alzheimer’s makes a new character out of a familiar person.

# Yuval Noah Harari

I think, in general, medicine in the 21st century will switch from healing the sick to upgrading the healthy… If you find ways to repair the memory damaged by Alzheimer’s disease or dementia and so forth, it is very likely that the same methods could be used to upgrade the memory of completely healthy people.

# S.Jay Olshansky

The Faustian trade of the 20th century was, we got 30 years of additional life, but in return we got heart disease, cancer, stroke, Alzheimer’s and sensory impairments. The question is: What Faustian trade are we making now, as we go after heart disease, cancer, stroke and Alzheimer’s? S.

# Leeza Gibbons

Caring for an Alzheimer’s patient is a situation that can utterly consume the lives and well-being of the people giving care, just as the disorder consumes its victims.

Leeza Gibbons Quotes about Alzheimer

# Leeza Gibbons

Alzheimer’s caregivers are heroes.

Leeza Gibbons Quotes about Alzheimer

# Kenneth Frazier

Affordability is critical so that patients have access to medicines. At the same time, it’s also important that we have the kind of incentives that allow us to do the kinds of studies that we need to do to go after these diseases like Alzheimer’s.

Kenneth Frazier  Quotes about Alzheimer

# Matthew Heineman

I landed a job at HBO, working for two years on the ‘The Alzheimer’s Project,’ which aired in May 2009. I was fortunate to work with a great mentor, producer John Hoffman, and the amazing doc filmmaker Susan Froemke.

Matthew Heineman Quotes about Alzheimer

# Marcia Wallace

I’m in awe of people out there who deal with Alzheimer’s, because they have to deal with death 10 times over, year after year.

Marcia Wallace Quotes about Alzheimer

# Jerry Stiller

Being on a sitcom stops me from getting Alzheimer’s.

Jerry Stiller Quotes about Alzheimer

# Jenkins

Ronald Reagan’s well documented final battles with Alzheimer’s disease were fought with the same conviction and courage that his many public battles were fought. William L.

Jenkins Quotes about Alzheimer

# Terry Pratchett

I regarded finding I had a form of Alzheimer’s as an insult and decided to do my best to marshal any kind of forces I could against this wretched disease. I have posterior cortical atrophy or PCA. They say, rather ingenuously, that if you have Alzheimer’s it’s the best form of Alzheimer’s to have.

# Christopher Walken

I think I’m getting a little bit of Alzheimer’s. Just a little.

Christopher Walken Quotes about Alzheimer

# Scott Adams

Some of my best friends are Venture Capitalists, but let’s face it, a hamster with Alzheimer’s could make those kind of numbers. It’s great work if you can get it.

Scott Adams Quotes about Alzheimer

# Jane Smiley

Somehow, knowing that Alzheimer’s is coming mocks all one’s aspirations – to tell stories, to think through certain issues as only a novel can do, to be recognised for one’s accomplishments and hard work – in a way that old familiar death does not.

# Ellie Goulding

Not much shocked me. You know, I worked in a home for Alzheimer’s patients and my dad used to be really into murders and stuff, so I saw dead bodies. It desensitised me to a lot of things.

Ellie Goulding Quotes about Alzheimer

# Rick Smolan

A lot of people don’t want to know, but I’d like to know if I have a 10 percent or a 90 percent chance of developing Alzheimer’s some day. If I know I’m likely to develop it, I’m certainly going to start looking around right now to find if there is something that I can do to offset it. Rick Smolan

# Floyd Skloot

I became demented overnight. Sudden onset is one factor that distinguishes my form of dementia from the more common form associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Floyd Skloot Quotes about Alzheimer

# Michael Greger

Most Alzheimer’s sufferers aren’t diagnosed until their 70s. However, we now know that their brains began deteriorating long before that. Michael Greger

Michael Greger Quotes about Alzheimer

# Anne Wojcick

My mother had Alzheimer’s, and it’s a desperately, desperately cruel thing to witness. Gemma JonesIf I know I’m at genetically high risk of Alzheimer’s, maybe I don’t plan to retire at 80, and maybe I’m more proactive about where I’m going to live and who’s going to take care of me.

# Kimberly Guilfoyle

I think Alzheimer’s is an important cause. Kimberly Guilfoyle

Kimberly Guilfoyle Quotes about Alzheimer

# Donald Sutherland

I don’t want to give up living, because I enjoy it so much, and I love working – I don’t expect I’ll ever have to stop. But Alzheimer’s or something like that would render me pretty useless.

Donald Sutherland Quotes about Alzheimer

# Robert J. Waldinger

Our kind of research might be one of the first projects to go. Our work is not urgent; it’s not the cure for cancer or Alzheimer’s. But we have a way of understanding human life that you can’t get anywhere else, and it lays the foundation for important, actionable things.

# Vivek Ramaswamy

I think dementia is the major healthcare threat to our economy and our security. It’s a ticking time bomb – we have a whole generation of baby boomers that are going to age, many progressing to get Alzheimer’s – which disproportionately affects women and minorities.

# Vivek Ramaswamy

It’s a great disappointment as a leader in the biotech industry that with all the amazing things the drug industry has done in the last couple of decades, we have not made a single major advance, have not not developed a single new chemical entity approved for the treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.

# Vivek Ramaswamy

I would not have had the same personal commitment to Alzheimer’s disease if it had not been for my mother and my upbringing.

Vivek Ramaswamy Quotes about Alzheimer

# Vivek Ramaswamy

The thing in Alzheimer’s disease to remember, and we remember this all the time at Axovant, is we don’t fully understand the way the actual underlying disease works.

Vivek Ramaswamy Quotes about Alzheimer

# Vivek Ramaswamy

I can’t comment on the internal decision-making at other companies, but RVT-101 has the potential to be a very valuable product in the treatment of Alzheimer’s, which is a huge unmet medical need.

Vivek Ramaswamy Quotes about Alzheimer

# Valerie Harper

I don’t know a great deal about Alzheimer’s – just what it does.

Valerie Harper Quotes about Alzheimer

# Anthony Doerr

I originally got very interested in memory in high school when my grandmother came to live with us. She had been diagnosed with dementia. It was the first time I had heard the word ‘Alzheimer’s disease.’

Anthony Doerr Quotes about Alzheimer

# Ann McKee

I started out as a neurologist. I then trained in neuropathology and was focused on neurodegeneration. So, for years, I studied Alzheimer’s, aging, Parkinson’s, that kind of thing.

Ann McKee  Quotes about Alzheimer

# Hirokazu Kore-eda

My grandfather had Alzheimer’s. He would eat everything and anything that was around; then he wouldn’t remember that he ate it and would demand to be fed again.

Hirokazu Kore-eda  Quotes about Alzheimer

# Jim Nantz

I can’t get people to understand how important the Alzheimer’s fight is to me.

 Jim Nantz Quotes about Alzheimer

# Jim Nantz

I want Alzheimer’s. I want Lou Gehrig’s disease. I want Parkinson’s. I want Huntington’s. I want to be the face and voice of all these neurological traumas. I want them all.

 Jim Nantz Quotes about Alzheimer

# Steven Gundry

What we know about super old people who are thriving is that they don’t become infirm, they don’t get cancer, they don’t get Alzheimer’s.

Steven Gundry Quotes about Alzheimer

# Yasmin Aga Khan

They can become very irritated. They can become very aggressive. Not all Alzheimer’s patients are that way, but many are. My mother was very difficult. She had extreme mood changes and would become fearful.

Yasmin Aga Khan Quotes about Alzheimer

# Robert Sapolsky

One definitely wants to have a functioning hippocampus. It’s all about learning and memory, the part blown out of the water by Alzheimer’s disease. It’s also the part that is most vulnerable to the effects of stress.

Robert Sapolsky Quotes about Alzheimer

# Joe Thomas

You look at guys with significant Alzheimer’s and dementia and the mood swings and the suicides that unfortunately NFL players have been faced with. And depression. Lou Gehrig’s disease. These are all things that have kind of been linked to the brain damage from football.

# Kevin Whately

Dementia is often regarded as an embarrassing condition that should be hushed up and not spoken about. But I feel passionately that more needs to be done to raise awareness, which is why I became an ambassador for the Alzheimer’s Society.

# Kevin Whately

You can’t converse with Alzheimer’s sufferers in the way you do with others; the dialogue tends to go round in circles.

Kevin Whately Quotes about Alzheimer

# Kevin Whately

Before my mother’s diagnosis with Alzheimer’s, I had heard of the disease, but hadn’t known anyone who had suffered from it.

# Freddie Stroma

If my dramatic career doesn’t work out, I will go on to research and find cures for Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s and other motor neuron diseases. It’s a very exciting field of research. But I’d like to continue in drama, so it wouldn’t be very smart of me if I blew this amazing opportunity with an inappropriate lifestyle.

# Melina Kanakaredes

People do not realize that Alzheimer’s is not old age. It is a progressive and fatal disease and staggering amounts of people develop Alzheimer’s every day.

Melina Kanakaredes Quotes about Alzheimer

# Sandra Day O’Connor

I loved my husband very much, and it was heartbreaking to have him develop Alzheimer’s disease, and to stand by and watch him decline in his ability to take care of himself.

Sandra Day O’Connor Quotes about Alzheimer

# Charlie Pierce

One of the great changes wrought by the increased public awareness of Alzheimer’s – and thank you, Nancy Reagan, you wonderful tough old dame, you – is that people in the early stages of the disease are now speaking out while they still have the capacity to do so.

# Tess Gerritsen

Alzheimer’s is literally killing us, and the only way to fight this ‘crime’ is through a groundswell of people who continue to raise their voices and funds to ensure it gets the attention it deserves.

Tess Gerritsen Quotes about Alzheimer

# Richard Lamm

Why give chemotherapy or even antibiotics to people with end-stage Alzheimer’s disease? Keep them pain free and clean, love them but don’t automatically try to get the last technology-produced breath from them. Start a preschool program instead or do something about the atrocious state of obesity in our children.

# James Rebhorn

I do mean this – I had the good fortune of being around a number of Alzheimer’s patients in the last three years of my mother’s life. She was in a care facility that was devoted to just people with memory-loss issues. I found those people engaging and generous in ways that I had not imagined.

# Rosecrans Baldwin

My grandmother died from Alzheimer’s, and it was a big shock. For the families left behind, it is not an easy closure. It’s not a gradual fading. The person is losing so much of their humanity as they’re dying. Losing your memories, you lose so much of who you are as a person.

# Miles D.White

I have a particular passion and focus on Alzheimer’s and diseases of dementia. There’s just so much scientifically that we don’t know, and we can know.

Miles D.White Quotes about Alzheimer

# Leroy Hood

Each form of Alzheimer’s disease should perturb different brain networks and so influence the concentration of different proteins that can be measured in the blood.

Leroy Hood Quotes about Alzheimer

# Patti Davis

I think the earlier stages of Alzheimer’s are the hardest. Particularly because the person knows that they are losing awareness. They’re aware that they’re losing awareness, and you see them struggling.

Patti Davis Quotes about Alzheimer

# Patti Davis

My father started growing very quiet as Alzheimer’s started claiming more of him. The early stages of Alzheimer’s are the hardest because that person is aware that they’re losing awareness. And I think that that’s why my father started growing more and more quiet. I think he felt, ‘I don’t want to say something wrong.’ That’s my sense of it.

# Patti Davis

There is a version of Alzheimer’s which is early onset Alzheimer’s. And it’s – it’s horrible, because people do get it in their 50s and 60s. And it’s terrible.

Patti Davis Quotes about Alzheimer

# Rhianna Pratchett

The type of Alzheimer’s Dad has is rare – posterior cortical atrophy or PCA – and it affects his spatial awareness and the way he judges distance. His first symptoms were erratic typing and spelling, but to talk to him, you’d never know there was a problem.

Rhianna Pratchett Quotes about Alzheimer

# Bonnie Tyler

My mum was a wonderful mother. She died, aged 80, of Alzheimer’s disease, which was dreadful to watch. I remember she said to me: ‘Believe in yourself because no one else is going to do it for you.’ I’m sure a lot of my success is due to her words of advice.

# Bonnie Tyler

The modern rise of Alzheimer’s Disease in the twentieth century is not a sign of failure. It’s a sign of success. Success in living long enough to see that disease expressed. S.

Bonnie Tyler Quotes about Alzheimer

# Judy Parfitt

This is why Alzheimer’s is such a terrible disease: the body of the person you love is there, but they’ve gone – your husband is gone – and they become your child, and you have to look after them as you would a child.

Judy Parfitt Quotes about Alzheimer

Alzheimer’s quotes for Family

# Rosa DeLauro

Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, brain and spinal cord disorders, diabetes, cancer, at least 58 diseases could potentially be cured through stem cell research, diseases that touch every family in America and in the world.

Rosa DeLauro Quotes about Alzheimer

# Melody Beattie

I gave three years of my life to take care of my dying mother who had Alzheimer’s disease. Being there for her every need for three years might have looked codependent but it wasn’t because it was what I wanted to do.

Melody Beattie Quotes about Alzheimer
