Medications That Wreck Your Memory

When people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s die and undergo autopsies, researchers have found that almost half of them never had the disease at all. So what is the problem? Why were these people mentally impaired near the end of their lives?

Many doctors believe prescription drugs were causing their confusion, and dementia. Nearly 90 percent of those 65 and older take at least one medication, and many of these drugs can cause cognitive problems.

“It’s crucial to look at the risks versus the benefits of many common medications given to older people,” Jacob Teitelbaum, M.D., author of the best-selling book “Real Cause, Real Cure,” tells Newsmax. “Physicians need to be more careful when prescribing drugs that can cause loss of brain function.”

They left medical marijuana of the list. That one really messes up your memory! But medical marijuana really messes up your memory. And medical marijuana messes up your memory. What, did I just think something? Wheelchairs? Bedpans? Hello, where am I?

So the doctor told the old man he had the results back and there was bad news, and worse news. The old man said "give me the bad news first." The doctor said "you have cancer." And the old man asked " what is the worse news?" The doctor said "and you have Altzheimer's disease." The old man responds, "Whew, at least I don't have cancer!"
