Thats the best I can do
Carol Bradley Bursack, Jan 17, 2012
Over the span of two decades author, columnist and speaker Carol Bradley Bursack cared for a neighbor and six elderly family members. Because of this experience, Bradley Bursack created a portable support group, the book "Minding Our Elders: Caregivers Share Their Personal Stories."
Our Alzheimer's risk increases with age - unfortunately, there's no "cutoff." In the past, many people didn't live long enough to develop AD. They died of other illnesses first. Now, many people live into their 80s and 90s. Risks keep increasing. Sorry. I'd like agree with you but I can't.Take care of your body and brain. That is the best we can do now.Carol
