Alzheimers

             Most people dream of living a regular, normal everyday life and watching their
             children grow up and have families of their own, but for some people these dreams and all
             their memories from their past can be erased and lost in an ageless disease that affects
             more then four million Americans today. Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive disease that
             varies from person to person and robs its victims of their past and future. Alzheimer's
             Disease is known as the "Great Eraser" and turns everyday normal people into helpless
             and lifeless individuals who are left being cared for by a caregiver such as family or friends
             because they are unable to take care of themselves. Not only does this disease affect the
             person who has the disease but also takes a great toll on the family members who have to
             live with the victims. Alzheimer's leaves family members feeling helpless, sad, confused
             and angry because they feel that there is more that they could do or that they could have
             done with them in the past when they were more healthier and were able to do more
             things. Today more then 100,000 Americans die each year from Alzheimer's Disease. The
             number of deaths keep rising and this is leaving families of the victims looking for answers
             to questions that not even scientists or doctors can figure out about the disease, like why
             this disease is caused and how this disease can be cured.
             Alzheimer's Disease is a progressive and irreversible brain disorder that destroys
             mental and physical functioning in human beings and eventually leads to death, not
             because of the disease itself but because the disease eventually causes the body to
             shutdown the parts a body needs to keep a person alive. Alzheimer's Disease is the fourth
             leading cause of deaths in adults. Alzheimer's Disease is a neurological disease that takes
             away a person's memory of their past and future. Alzheime...
