Memory Loss? Posted: 11-05-03 23:56pm
Sometimes I have difficulty remembering
names, numbers, and tasks. Could this be
stress related, and are there early
symptoms of alzheimers that can exhibit
themselves before you are actually
diagnosed with it?

I cant offer much advice due to not
knowing your general background i.E age
but I will do my best. I had never heard
of memory loss being stress related untill
I saw you post and so decided to check it
out. This is a link you might find useful
http://www.Fi.Ed
u/brain/stress.Htm#stressmemory
i dont really know much about alzheimer's
so I cant really comment on that. The
only advice I can give is if you are
really worried then go and see your
doctor.
Finally some memory improvement
techniques: practice these regularly and
your memory performance will increase
dramatically.
Use association when trying to memorize
objects. For instance group the difficult
to remember task or object with somthing
which you dont need to remember, like
places in your home or a very farmiliar
route. Imagiane them at memorable points
and when you think of the easy to remember
area you will remember the object placed
there.
just thought i'd let you know there are
simple techniques that can help with
memory loss if you are feeling there may
be a loss. The site is at edit and has
free online courses to assist you to
improve your memory and manage memory
loss. It also provides courses on speed
reading and personal development.
Let me know what you think,
thanks

danielv,
post a little bit about yourself ie: age
it would help out so people can refine
there search.
The early symptoms of alzheimer's disease
include forgetfulness, loss of
concentration,etc.
Many people expect increasing memory loss
as they age, but impaired memory has more
to do with stress, according to a mcgill
research project.
Phosphatidylserine plays a role in
neurotransmission, may support brain
function and boost memory and is therefore
important in this memory supplement. The
acetyl group that is part of
acetyl-l-carnitine contributes to the
production of the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine, which is required for
healthy cognitive function and promotes
enhanced memory and cell to cell
communication. Huperzine a also helps
maintain acetylcholine levels. Ginkgo
biloba is included in this memory
supplement and is used to enhance
peripheral circulation to the brain and is
thought to work with siberian ginseng to
support good general well-being.
Please note that this is not to be taken
as medical advice. If you are seeking
treatment, please contact your healthcare
professional.

Hi ! I would suggest you try some herbs
like Brahmi and Vacha (Bacopa and Acorus
calamus). These herbs have unique memory
boosting power without causing side
effects. The herbs are indian herb and
widely used by Ayurveda phycisians
worldwide. You can search for herbal
remedies for memory or alzheimer's disease
on google for more details.
I hope this will help you a lot !

remembering thing, people etc...
Until recently I realized that it is
caused by stress related I heard over the
radio yesterday that there is studies that
proved it may caused Alzheimer and
dementia althought it only only 10-15% of
such cases occured.

It could definitely be stress.
If it doesn't get better with time then
I'd try some Chinese meds.
like those 3:
Cure Memory Loss With Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo Biloba is the oldest living tree
specie with its leaves as one of the most
widely studied botanicals of today.
Ginkgo is highly recommended all over
Europe as a treatment for dementia and
Alzheimer's disease.
Studies show that it improves the
cognitive functions of a person as well as
his daily living activities. Ginkgo is
available in capsule, tablet, tea, and
liquid extract form. However, you have to
seek medical advice on how to regularly it
as a treatment for memory loss.
Ge Jie Da Bu Wan remedies For Memory Loss
This Chinese medicine made from the
different tree roots that are found in
China helps boost the qi (energy) and yang
(functions of the organs in our body).
It also helps in nourishing the blood. For
best results, take 3 capsules of ge jie da
bu wan 2 times a day.
Gui Pi Wan for Memory Loss Treatment
This Chinese herbal formula is believed to
be effective in treating poor memory and
concentration.
Gui Pi Wan is made of 100% pure and
authentic Chinese herbs of high quality.
Traditional preparations and procedures
are combined with modern pharmaceutical
ways of extracting the active ingredients
from the herbs to create pills and
tablets. Take a total of 8 pills per day
thrice a day. The formula is best taken
before meals.

Some ideas Posted: 02-29-08 21:34pm
Hi Paul,
You might want to do a google search on
new ways they diagnose alzheimer's. I
heard there might be a new method where
they take a sample of your blood and thru
your analysis they can determine some risk
factors.
I do think it could be stress related,
however, since when I am stressed I forget
certain things (and I am young).
Also, have you been given mmse test?
