This Father’s Day, my heart aches with the familiar pain of missing my dad. Parkinson’s and dementia took him from us, but sometimes the things that shatter us bring us more points of connection. We need a national movement that supports families dealing with Alzheimers and dementia, we can do so much better as a nation. To every caregiver showing up with love at home — you are not alone. You are heroes. Let's remember that strength is measured most by how we love and care for others.

Wanting better dementia care is not like a game of "Buckeroo" as you casually claim Wes Streeting. Dementia is the UK's biggest cause of death, affecting nearly 1 million people and their families. You took it out of the NHS planning priorities. Now put it back in.

Around one million people are living with #DementiaBehindClosedDoors. We can change that when we act as one, loudly telling our stories to make people in power understand why dementia must be a priority. 1/3

My waiter had dementia and forgot my order. I visited a cafe in Japan that ONLY hires people with Dementia. It's called the Cafe Of Mistaken Orders. Sometimes the servers bring you the wrong food, never bring your order, or sit down and join you instead. But the point of this cafe is to be a place for dementia patients to feel needed and have purpose. And this cafe is working. Japan has discovered that being socially connected actually slows down the progression of dementia. So now there are 8,000 dementia cafes all over Japan! The U.S. should be more like Japan. We should keep elders out of nursing homes, find ways to give them purpose, and part of society until their last days.

Dr. Kevin Reese suggests that "dementia is linked to statin drugs." "Statin drugs came out in 1987... Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia spiked in the 1990s." "Now you see it all the time... Why? Because so many people are on statins, which means you're not getting enough cholesterol, and you need cholesterol for your brain."
