Pat, Lynette, your videos mean so much to me and my family. You mentioned in this video that there are some forms of temporary dementia. About 15 years ago my mom was experiencing dementia and we determined that she was having low B12, due to a stomach ulcer. The minute the stomach ulcer was cleaned up the dementia completely went away. Right now she has a less than mediocre doctor that has randomly just agreed with some distant relatives that my mom has lewy Body dementia, and I'm not certain she has that. Is there a possibility you could tell me the list of possible deficiencies that could be causing this so that we can have each and every one of them thoroughly checked just in case there's some possibility we can get rid of this?
Shelley, there are no specific deficiencies that I am aware of that are causal for LBD. If you google Lewy body dementia causes you might find a series of questions with answers that point you to better life practices for keeping a healthy brain. Avoiding surgery if possible as we age or at least being very careful what anesthesias and meds are given before and after a surgery might be important. Surgeries are often cited by some LBD folks as a trigger event. You will find good sleep quality, mediterranean diet, and exercise on the list of good practices along with other things.
@@patsnyder9144 I appreciate the information. My mom did have a major surgery right before this began, and her diet has never been very healthy. I will do more research. Thank you so much. ❤️
