Max is a real stand up guy. He's charismatic, funny, and taking things like a champ. His wife's love for him is unbreakable and absolutely radiates. Topics like these aren't easy to talk about or watch so if you made to the end, I thank you. I could barely talk at the end of the conversation because I was so choked up. Not so much from how awful these things are, but at just how strong Max and Kathy are. It was a truly humbling experience. Max and Kathy are the best

@@Prozzie Understandable how that is particularly hurtful. It is not an end to a journey, but an erasing/invalidating of it. All the love and hardships. It stings by making one feel what it is like to not be able to share a life experience with someone but worse by being put in contrast to actually having had that blessing but then having it taken away. - I know from personal experience how hard it is to see great devoted struggle and joy just getting invalidated. As for age, I got a somewhat amusing-enlightening anecdote: My great-grandfather lived to over 100 and died of old age in his sleep, in good health for that age. ... And he used to work as a uranium miner.

My wifes dementia is going the other direction. She has a failing liver and effectively using only one lung. I didn't know anything about it and how tough/sad it can be. She is now 48 and on hospice. I have been her caregiver for the past 4 years. I was 39 with a career when this started. There was no help for us when this started. We finally got help when she entered hospice program. I sure hope Max gets stronger and can enjoy life. The hardest part I think is just keeping them from getting scared. My heart goes out to anyone and their families that deal with this. Unexpected and good video!

Absolutely outstanding video. Dementia destroyed my father's mind. He was a severe case and suffered in a rapidly declining way for 3-4 years until his death at 82. No telling how long before that, that he was hiding the early impacts of it. My maternal grandmother also faded away with a form of it, but her journey was much gentler than my father's. She passed at 91. Both ended up in full-time care facilities. My mother did not show any signs of it, although we thought that was what was happening late last year. Sadly, it was undiagnosed rapid onset pancreatic cancer and she passed this March at nearly 89. So if there is a genetic link, maybe some form of it is in my future. Not anything I can worry about now. All I can do is try to stay healthy, manage my diet, and get reasonable exercise. Mitigate the risk factors and carry on with living.

My wife’s grandfather died of Alzheimer’s. He forgot everything, but every once in awhile he would remember who she was. This caused so much emotional trauma. He was around during the Mao famines. When he grew up he joined the Chinese army. He didn’t have much money but on his way home from selling water bottles he’d see scraps of metal and go home and turn it into a ring for his wife. He was a great man. He didn’t take care of his health so that he could take care of others. I never met him but hearing his life story makes me break down crying every time I hear it. I’m a grown ass man. But Alzheimers is pure evil.

My mom died because of kidney problems related to diabetes and those kidney problems made it hard for her body to process the different toxins we have (she needed dialysis, but wasn't available). Those toxins (urea and creatinine, in particular) made her at times kinda "go back" as if she was a child, and needed constant, 24-hour supervision. She would forget where she was, what had happened, who we were, and so on. She forgot my sister's birthday on the 21st, and left us on the 23rd. It's going to be a year this next October 23rd. 20 days of agony. It's the most terrible thing in the world to see a loved one getting worse every day, watch them die a bit every day and not be able to do anything to stop it.

awesome video Prozzie. And I think raising awareness etc is fantastic, but I also think that SOLUTIONS is absolutely something everyone should emphasize, I think it is THE thing to focus on. I went through a bit of depression & health problems years back and would see "depression awareness" posts made on facebook etc, but what I truly needed were actual solutions I could start trying straight away. Anyway, after years of research & trial & error I came to the conclusion that health is simple, but it makes people weirdly defensive, and I can almost feel people getting defensive to what I'm about to suggest. But I'll say it, it is tons of high quality organic fruits & vegetables that provide all the nutrition/minerals/vitamins that your body needs for health. Uncooked as when you cook vegetables you destroy a lot of nutrients. Healthy fats & proteins are really important too (good meat, avocados, coconut oil, almonds, sprouts etc etc etc). Getting as much oxygen to the brain as possible is another key, doing deep breathing exercises out in fresh air (might be a little tough in Taiwan with pollution). Exercise. This might not work for someone who already has the disease, but surely they could have a try? Surely this would be great prevention for anyone as well. Awesome video dude, just after my health issues down the years, I thought I would share what I found my solution to be, just flooding the body with all the good stuff, every day, for years non stop edit: actually let me be more clear, its not a criticism of Prozzie, it s a totally new topic for you and there's no way you can be expected to know everything about health etc, to all involved it's a fantastic video to get awareness, just watching it I thought "you know I didn't have Alzheimers, but I did have some neurological issues like memory loss, loss of co-ordination, depression etc etc, maybe I'll just share that tons of nutritious RAW fruits & vegetables, deep breathing fresh air, exercise etc mostly was my ticket out of that whole neurological mess" But that's just speaking for me
