ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED BY CHRISTY SCHMID ON MARCH 7, 2016
We will post most any topic we think our readers will benefit from, even if it doesn’t fit within our normal guidelines. However, most articles (written by us as well) are based on the following:
- Best Alzheimer’s Products covers topics on Alzheimer’s, Dementia, caregiving, alternative therapies, non-medical therapy, and quality of life, just to name a few. We do follow advances in the scientific and medical field as they pertain to dementia, like drug trials and brain studies.
- We do not promote drugs, medical products or procedures, though we like to keep abreast of medical and scientific developments.
- Our goal is to better the lives of people on both sides of the dementia care equation. Every post is written with this in mind.
- We will not post blatant advertisements or articles that contain more that a few hyperlinks.
- Only original content will be posted. (if it’s already published somewhere on the web, we will not publish it)
- Guest posts are unpaid.
Some benefits of guest posting on Best Alzheimer’s Products
Build your brand while practicing your craft. Best Alzheimer’s Products is one of the most trusted voices on the internet when it comes to dementia care. But, most of the articles you read here are in our voice. We welcome new views and new styles. We have been doing this a long time, years before we even started this website, but we can’t see everything. Please contact us to contribute, but be sure to follow the guidelines posted here.
Expectations
- Your guest post should be well-written – please make sure to proof read and edit.
- We prefer learning through stories. Please think about one or two good stories to include with your article, or around which to base your article.
- Your guest post should be useful to our readers. Our readers are both family members and friends caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s and professional care providers.
- Your guest post should be unique.
- We stopped referring to people who have Alzheimer’s disease as “Alzheimer’s patients” some time ago, and ask that you do the same. A person with Alzheimer’s is “a person with Alzheimer’s”, or “a person who has Alzheimer’s disease”. You can see our justification for this, and more, in the article Let’s Stop Calling Them Alzheimer’s Patients and Saying That They are Suffering.
- That reminds me, people who have dementia are not “dementia sufferers”, or “suffering from Alzheimer’s”. They are “living with Alzheimer’s”, yes, but they are not always suffering. You thinking they are suffering will influence the way you act toward them, and that will cause suffering.
- Less objectionable, but still a little, is “caregiver”, which implies a hierarchy. Preferred is “care partner” or the British “carer”.
Editorial Guidelines
- Please include a bio of yourself. You may link to your website in your bio.
- You may include 1 or 2 links in your article.
- Please credit all your sources.
- We will find a photo that will work with your article unless you own one you would like to use.

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological disease that causes memory loss and eventually death due to brain shrinkage. It is the most common cause of dementia in humans. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease lose their ability to function independently owing to cognitive impairment and the loss of social and behavioral skills. Alzheimer’s disease is caused by two key risk factors: family history and advancing age. The specific cause of the sickness, however, is yet unknown.
BEWARE! Do not be scammed!
Here is a comment that I get several times a week from different people hoping to get it into my website comments. Sometimes several times a day. It is a scam, an attempt to separate you from your money. I finally am “approving” it not to provide you with the information therein, but to warn you that it is bogus. Intended deception. I struck out the entire comment and redacted the links and product names. Please do not misinterpret this as an endorsement of this fraudulent scheme by Best Alzheimer’s Products. It is not. This is the type of deceitful practice that we have spent a lot of time and effort warning our readers about. Do not be fooled. If you ever see this scam in an email, on a website, or anywhere, remember that it is untruthful. Please, please don’t waste your money. This product will not work as claimed. Yes, certain foods can improve conditions related to dementia, but this “product” will not do what it claims. I have left the sender’s email address intact as one to avoid and will add the email addresses of everyone who tried to get this false message approved in the future. Again, do not fall for scams such as this.
My husband first experienced confusion and loss of memory in March of 2000 while undergoing rehab for alcoholism. Being home seemed to help him until 2006 when he gradually began experiencing Alzheimer’s symptoms. He had four to five hours a day where he wants to get a “greyhound” to “go home.” Also, he thinks I am his sister and believes he has rented a car (he hasn’t driven in five to 10 years). His personal hygiene was in the tank — it was necessary for him to change two to three times a day. Without long-term insurance for his care, it was becoming stressful to care from him. this year our family doctor introduced and started him on **************, 6 months into treatment he improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of Alzheimer’s, hallucination, forgetfulness, and other he’s strong again and able to go about daily activities. visit their official website, www. *************. comAdditional email address from which I receive some variation of this scam, and this is only going back a couple of months since I last cleaned out my junk folder. And every one of these crooks submitted this five to ten times and more.
Is it possible that gum disease has the potential to cause Alzheimer’s?
The science of bettering your memory is still in it’s infancy, it will improve as
machine learning advances and the exact functions of the
brain are mapped out.
The science of memory improvement is still in it’s humble beginnings, it will get
better as AI makes it’s way forward and the exact workings of the brain are identified.
I have a compilation of emails between my sister, our families, and my best friend which tracts and traces the progression of my Aunt Marie’s losing battle with Alzheimer’s. Though most seem to be flit and comic, they are eventually shown to be the toll this disease takes on it’s chosen one…in any event…sometimes things just seem absurd, other times maddeningly frustrating, wildly entertaining, eventually pure devotion, and in the end blessed with compassion and wisdom…I am a professional photographer, though at the time the photographs taken were pure impulse and instinct and not a thing of quality. I never even thought of the moment…it just happened and there was a camera of one sort or another at hand…I am wondering if this journey of 2 years might be of any value to the community?It is written to my sister, our kids, and friends almost in a story form, sometimes pure dialogue, other times musings, other times in an agony of distress…my sister, Eve’s, responses and additions got lost in a debacle of some sort or another concerning her computer…we called what we had left “Rats and Jackasses” because that’s what Aunt Marie called us when she got left with nothing else to call us…she was an interrupter for the government during WWII, spoke 4-5 languages, was a lady back in the day that had a quite specific style assigned to it, yet the illness took it all away and left Uncle Art, her always devoted husband aghast…though he adapted as necessary…she loved him and knew him until the end and it was only Uncle Art who anchored her in safe harbor when everyone else had sailed off somewhere she couldn’t follow…
Dear Sandra,
I tried to reply directly to your email, but the address you provided was not found – the email bounced. Hopefully you will see this.
I read your comment with fascination. I applaud you and your family for the way you all handled this most difficult situation. Of course I am interested, and I am sure our community would be interested. Please let me know what you have in mind…
Kind regards and best wishes for a Happy New Year,
John
I am a regular reader of your blog “Best-alzheimers-products” and I am interested in writing an unique blog post with the title: “Tips to select a dementia care home”. The post is of 500+ words and unique.
Since you already publish guest posts from diverse writers in your corner, I thought it would be nice if I too had an opportunity to present your online journal’s followers with something of genuine worth.
