MDTV: Parkinson's Disease Dementia

Back


"Parkinson's Disease Dementia" featuring Neurologist, Dr. Dee Silver, discusses how Parkinson's patients are 4 to 6 times more likely to develop some cognitive impairment. Up to 1 million people in the US are affected by IPD. After patients have had the disease 8 to 10 years, they have about an 80% chance of developing cognitive impairment. Dr. Silver talks about a new drug (Excelon) that is shown to hold off these impairments.

I found this video by looking up Parkinson's Disease Dementia. I am a caregiver/health care professional and I think it's well done.

at 7:29--AMYLOID PLAQUE is not the CAUSE of ALZHEIMERS or PARKINSONS. Instead it is a BY-PRODUCT of the DISEASE as the body seeks to PROTECT itself. In other words, it is SUPPOSED to be there! He is looking at this backwards!

He didn't say beta Amyloid plaque causes Parkinson's, only that the patients have them.
