Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month

November is National Alzheimer's Awareness Month. National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month is an opportunity to honor and support those living with Alzheimer's disease. During the month, it is time to express gratitude to the family members and caretakers who love and comfort those afflicted, and make a commitment to finding a cure to this devastating disease.

Over 16 million people worldwide have Alzheimer's disease with over 4 million of them being Americans. Not only does Alzheimer's disease affect those that have the disease but there is at least one person or family member who cares for them that is indirectly affected.

It is not known what causes Alzheimer's disease and at the present time there is no cure. Research into the disease is offering answers to many questions. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia and accounts for at least half of all dementias. Alzheimer's disease is named after Alois Alzheimer, the German physician who identified it in 1907. The cause of Alzheimer's remains elusive and resistant many treatments.

Show your support to family members, caretakers or friends by helping spread awareness of the disease. There are many ways to show this support, spread awareness for Alzheimer's disease, and provide a lasting impression to someone special who has been touched by this disease. There are many pieces of beautiful jewelry available
