Dementia Myth: Most Patients With Dementia Are Curable Paperback – May 24, 2019

DEMENTIA MYTH is a must-read for anyone who has family member with dementia, or who is afraid of dementia in their own lives. Dr. Coleman exposes the Big Drug cartel and its control of medicine and research for its own enrichment. Of course, because he exposes the lies and manipulations, Big Drug unleashes its fury on him every way it can. His recommendations on dealing with early symptoms of dementia are vital -- I am scheduled with my own doctor to determine my Vitamin B12 level this week, for instance! His books are treasures of information and his courage to write them is astounding. He's like the family doctor you could always trust and the good neighbor you always want to have.

Very interesting book. Gives a bit of hope.

This is the best book I have read concerning dementia or memory loss ever!! Dr Coleman really nails it to the wall for all to see, and for any medical professional to step up and pay attention. Of course they won’t because big pharma produced the educational books for “only” the topics they ‘need’ to know about. Can’t make money off recovered patients so ignore treatable illness and go with a mis-diagnosis. Disgusting and disreputable!!!! I have lost faith in the medical community as a whole. Shame on them. Thanks for a broader understanding of other possible diagnosis Dr Coleman.Dawn Adams

Ok read by Dr. Vernon Coleman famed Brit doctor. Has a few considerations when dealing with dementia patients

Dr. Co!eman exposes the greed of pharmaceutical companies, the laziness of doctors and the need for we lay people to hold accountable doctors and hospitals from failure to use common sense use of vitamin B 12. The knowledge about hydrocephalus was news to me. Thanks.L

1. Written from a British perspective. It's different here in the States but it is still awful. I had never considered the connection betwen charities and doctors. I suspect it happens here too. Chilling.2. I feel for the author. He's a whistleblower and he's dealing with consequences. The story becomes even more personal as we learn his wife was one of the misdiagnosed. Due to these two situations, the book almost reads like a personal rant. Almost.3. There is little scientific evidence to back up some of his strongest claims, such as cognition doesn't have to decline in old age. books than this one. In particular read "Do I Have Dementia?". Seriously. Graphs and footnotes of scientific research galore. Brain function DOES decrease with age. Dementia is not a sure thing.4. Big Pharma in bed with doctors is very old news. It never fails to anger me (an American). What about the Hippocratic Oath? The way it works in Great Britain, I would lose it. Kudos to the author that he's able to do anything in a rational way. I wonder what the author would think if he practiced in America, which is only 1 of 2 countries that permit direct pharmaceutical advertising to the consumer - tv and print. This adds a whole other level of pressure on doctors to prescribe what their patients request after seeing the slick ads on tv. If they don't the people will just doctor shop.I have one of the top three conditions listed in this book that look like dementia but aren't: an iatrogenic injury by doctors who negligently prescribed me benzos for 11+ years. I am by no means pleased that in these 11 years, three separate psychiatrists continued to prescribe low dose, yet daily, benzos without informed consent. Oddly enough, it was a British psychiatrist I had to see in a rush when I lost my supply in Scotland who first expressed concern over my long term usage of the prescribed dose (never more). Hello? What did you say? Oh no...this is bad. This is EPIDEMIC.Point being, it's personal for me too. This has to change but I don't know how to even play a part.The book is just so-so. It's sad this author has been blacklisted. Then again, his other books are like a library of conspiracy theories. Maybe he should write a memoir to gain a larger audience who then might see why he pseudo-rants. Read this book with skepticism. Read other books to get a more rounded view.There is no doubt doctors and BigPharma are in a love affair that's compromising the public. So...be informed and take control of your own health. I no longer listen to a doctor just because they have all those letters after their name. I try to be respectful, but even that is on the decline. Books like this prove why. Read more

This book presents really important information. I am affected by a diagnosis of dementia in my family and I do believe my family member has never been correctly diagnosed. So much harm done by a medical/business establishment that represses truth.

Get it...Read it...very important & surprising info between the covers. I'm on my 2nd time thru the book. I love Dr. Vernon Coleman's books. He's so smart & brave & honest. I have 8 of his big library of books he's written. I want to get many more. He's the canary in the coal mine folks! His writing style is easy to read. I really appreciate this brave man!

Easy to understand, very insightful, good info. It’s a short read and low cost purchase. Well worth it to be informed, especially if you or a loved one is experiencing symptoms generally associated with ‘dementia’. Be your own advocate! I recommend this book.

Good read and good price

Författaren anser att vitamin B12 botar demens och nämner inga andra alternativ.

Vernon Coleman is at present my favourite doctor, and favourite author, and I am in the process of reading all his books.He tells it like it is as regards the dangers of doctors, medicine, and vaccines, and also warns us of many other dangers.He has a zany, unique sense of humour and often makes me laugh out loud which few others can do.In this book he tells us all about dementia.The default diagnosis for dementia is Alzheimer’s. Coleman tells us that in the UK, for incomprehensible reasons, doctors are paid a bonus by the Government every time they diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.Millions of patients alleged to have incurable Alzheimer’s disease are curable.In the author’s estimation, at least half of the patients diagnosed as having Alzheimer’s are actually suffering from 1) prescription drug confusion, 2) vitamin B12 shortage, or 3) idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.People who have heen taking benzodiazepine tranquillisers, sleeping tablets or anti-depressants for more than a week or two are quite likely to develop symptoms of confusion and the like which could easily be misdiagnosed as dementia.Up to 10% of the population are deficient in vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 deficiency is an epidemic.It is an established fact that people deficient in vitamin B12 are likely to suffer from a wide range of symptoms, with dementia being one of the most significant ones.Many millions around the world said to be suffering from Alzheimer’s disease are simply vitamin B12 deficient and could be cured with a short course of injections.Most doctors don’t bother to test for vitmin B12 deficiency. If you don’t test for it you won’t ever find it.(Years ago, my own father was quite ill and confined to bed with vitamin B12 deficiency until when on the point of death it was finally diagnosed and he got the necessary injections.)Standard lab figures for vitamin B12 deficiency are far too low.Between 5% and 10% of patients diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer’s disease or dementia are in fact suffering from the curable disease idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, which can be fairly easily treated with a simple surgical operation.The medical establishment is so influenced by the drug industry that it pays little attention to idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, which is thus under-researched, under-diagnosed and under-treated.There are countless millions with this disease that have been diagnosed as suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.Unfortunately, a large number of doctors, including neurologists and psychiatrists, are unfamiliar with the disorder.The principal symptoms of the disease are a “"wide-legged, unsteady gait”, a tendency to fall a lot, incontinence and dementia.The author writes in detail about B-12 deficiency, which his wife Antoinette suffered from until it was finally diagnosed, and about idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, which his mother died from, because she had been diagnosed too late, and only diagnosed with help from his wife who found the necessary information on the internet.I found this to be an exceedingly valuable and invaluable book containing information which most doctors lack. If you know anyone affected by dementia, please read it.

Dr Coleman links to sources and makes clear his reasons for opinions. It is so easy to dismiss a problem as Alzheimers... or old age.
