Patient discussion about Memory register.

Q. Which HERBAL medicine will increase my memory? I am reporter working for a familiar news channel with reputed name. The management trusts my words because I am very good in my memory. But for the past few months I am facing some memory loss and took some English medicine which is not much effective. So now I like to change my medication. Which HERBAL medicine will increase my memory?

A. You can also play games increasing your memory like the game - MEMORY. You have a lot of carton-pannels with always a pair with the same picture and then you put the cartons hiding the pictures (face on the ground). If you have not this game, create yourself one and train yourself. There are also many auto-didactic CD's in book-stores which will help you to increase your memory. Soon you will be able to remember also numbers, phone-numbers, addresses and whatever you often need. Good luck and have fun playing with yourself. MEMORY is not a game only for kids!

Q. how do you know if you have early onset of alzheimers? i'm 47. i do have extreme tremors at times and memory l i was told this could be what i have by a psychiatrist. What else can cause me to have these symptoms at my age and how do i know?

A. Some early signs of Alzheimer's disease are:
Trouble remembering recent events.
Problems remembering namesof people and places.
Trouble solving simple math problems.

Alzheimer's disease usually affects people over 60. There are some illnesses and problems that may look like Alzheimer’s, but are caused by other problems.
These include:

Bad reaction to certain medicines
Depression
Not eating enough healthy foods, or too few vitamins and minerals in your body
Brain tumors
Blood vessel disease
Thyroid problems

Some of these illnesses can be treated. Once treated, your confusion and memory loss should go away. The point is to get checked out by your doctor. Don’t let fear stop you from seeing your doctor. You can get help.


Q. What medicine should I take for mild memory problems? I am 60 years of age and am suffering from MILD MEMORY PROBLEMS. Can anyone suggest what medicine should I take for MILD MEMORY PROBLEMS? (Oh I forget in which category I have posted this question? lol)

A. I wouldnt suggest any medicine as this will just cause more problems. However, I would suggest seeing a chiropractor and this is why. I went to a chiropractic seminar a while ago and the whole purpose of chiropractics is to help the brain and body communicate. Therefore, by you going to see the chiropractor they will be able to allow your body to communicate better and therefore help with your forgetfullness
