” Neurodegenerative disease is more accurately described as a progressive
fatal disease leading to brain failure. Brain failure is a terminal disease, like cancer,
that physically kills patients. When someone experiences heart failure or kidney failure,
the end result is death. The brain is no different. The brain is our most vital organ:
it controls the heart, the lungs, and all other organs. When it shuts down, so do other
vital organs. Dementia is a symptom of a dying brain. People do die from dementia.
The belief that people don't usually die from dementia has skewed death statistics
leading to the underreporting of dementia as a cause of death. ”
( Bruce Fife )
