The theme was “Enfermedades Neurodegenerativas en la Vejez”, or, Neurodegenerative Illness in Older Adults.

Four geriatric physicians from the hospital organized the event – Dr.David Leal Mora (the international section), Dr.Hector Ivan Cruz Neri, Dr. Julio Alberto Dias Ramos, and Dra Rocio Garcia Talavera. Guest speakers were from Guadalajara, Leon, Mexico City, and the U.S.

What stood out most were the physicians, both American and Mexican, who are exploring and interested in alternative non-drug options for dementia prevention. The common theme – we must all be vigilant in keeping our cognitive skills sharp to the very end, if possible.
http://www.AlzheimersDementiaSummit.com focusing on dementia prevention and alternative remedies that already exist for protecting our brains and our minds. Produced by Jonathan Landsman, a natural health advocate with physicians and others as guest speakers – Dr. Russell Blaylock, Dr. David Jockers, Donna Gates, Dr. Mark Hyman, Josh Axe, Sayer Ji, Michael T. Murray and many others. I missed this July 2016 summit on line but believe it might be available to listen to.
