Down below was a fierce and fiery dragon. Away on a not-too-distant hill was a knight in shining armor on a white horse. As the damsel cried to the knight saying, “Please save me!” the knight looked at the dragon and then at the damsel. Then again he looked at the dragon and at the damsel. Abruptly the knight started to suck his thumb and cried out loud saying, “Mommy, Mommy, I’m scared!” The damsel could not believe her eyes. She quickly assessed her options and came to the conclusion that the knight was not going to save her. Immediately, like a bolt of lightning, she jumped out of the window dropping down below and almost breaking her legs. She then ran to the knight and pulled his sword out...

Fast Twitch vs. Slow Twitch Muscle Fibers There are two types of skeletal muscle fibers. Fast fibers, which use sugars for fuel and do not require oxygen, kick in for tasks that require maximum force and quick action, such as sprinting. Slow fibers, which employ oxygen-using (or aerobic) pathways, power activities that require endurance, such as long-distance running. A protein called alpha-actinin-3 is made mostly by fast fibers and is implicated in their capacity for rapid force gen...

Each blogger referred to a different step of the AA’s 12-step recovery program and tied it in with their blog.  Although I didn’t write about a specific step, I discussed the connection between Alzheimer’s and possible drug addiction.

More than a few people have said to me that life raising an autistic child is not so much a sprint as a marathon. In the beginning, after you first get the diagnosis, it feels that you have to run to your utmost abilities, until you’ve drawn your last breath and then still have to give it your all: So parents race to find out and try so many treatments and therapies for their child, so parents hurry hurry hurry and “give their all” to “recovering a child from autism.” You can read many an online (and boo...

Congratulations, Liz!  This is a very timely topic, so I know your blog will be widely read.  About 18 months ago, Liz decided to pursue her dream of becoming a full time writer.  She started a blog, My Year of Getting Published, detailing her experiences.  After about a year, she joined me as co-blogger here at Alzheimer’s Notes and i...

Also, by losing some of those pounds, we may be helping the environment and cutting down on global warming!  “What!”  you say.  “Obesity/overweight and global warming are connected?. Yes, a study has come out that obesity may contribute to global warming.  My co-blogger, Liz Lewis, also writes at b5 media’s He...

They’re simple; they aren’t costly; many can be done at home...in between caretaking.  Also, you may find some of these ways to calm the Alzheimer’s patient. Be sure to check them out.            Do you have any ways of relieving stress and energizing yourself you’d like to share?

For instance, Auntie developed a greater craving for sweets than she ever had.  Mother, who never overate on sweets, wanted them more frequently.  I wonder what these ladies would have thought about Deep-Fried Oreos, a variation of this famous black and white cookie I recently heard about at Sara’s Health Bolt blog.  She even refers you to a blog containing the instructions for making them! Let me know what you think…of the idea or the recipe, if you try it.                            I wonder, would an Alzheimer’s patient enjoy looking at this pictu...
