Interview: Malaz Boustani, MD Center for Healthy Aging Indiana University School of Medicine
Podcast: Common Meds & Cognitive Impairment in the Elderly
Confusion, and even delirium, are common problems among elderly people.
New findings suggest that common medications, many of them over-the-counter, may actually damage brain function in elderly patients. These side-effects can be long-lasting, even permanent. The dangerous medications have familiar names, such as Benadryl and Excedrin PM.
Indiana University researcher Malaz Boustani is nationally known for his studies in dementia and delirium in the elderly. Today he discusses his findings with Sound Medicine's Dr. Steve Bogdewic.
Malaz Boustani, MD, is an associate professor of medicine and a research scientist at the Center for Healthy Aging at the IU School of Medicine.
Hmmm...perhaps it is not possible to regress the man back to a specific time when he had the ability to speak but what if it IS possible to let him just imagine that he does! The question, therefore, is: do Alzheimers patients have imagery ability?
I'm thinking about how it would feel NOT to imagine anything...Roger! What have you started here?!

Hello Roger.....regarding your "Alzheimers" friend of a friend.....I would want to know who diagnosed this person as suffering from "Alzheimers" in the first place and just how accurate that diagnosis is.....
In my opinion, the description of this person and their sudden symptoms of failing memory and speech failure etc. is suspicious and warrants a closer diagnostic assessment and evaluation.....This person may indeed be experiencing something quite different than "Alzheimers" such as severe depression or be experiencing debilating effects from some medication etc.....
A good site on Alzheimers is alz.org, but remembering that the biggest mistake in medicine is misdiagnosis and hence mistreatment is a good thing to bear in mind here...... if hypnosis is done on this person for restoring his speech and the problem is something else, like depression, there is a possibility that hypnosis would fail and the acupuncturist would then be able to say "see there, hypnosis doesn't work"..... and there is a distinct possibility that you have been set up by that acupuncturist in an effort to throw dirt on hypnosis.....and this is especially true in this day and time when disproving hypnosis for any kind of health care is in vogue with such practitioners as acupunturists and physical therapists etc......
Also, being 66 doesn't necessarily mean someone is more of a candidate for Alzheimers......
Hope this helps!
Not to worry about the acupuncturist - she is a strong advocate for hypnosis - that is why she is asking the question.
