Disorientation Mood behavior changes Difficulty to speak and achieve everyday

activities or necessities. No known cure for this illness is known

only some medicine can slow the disease but never cure it.

Effects on the Brain The brain has about 100 billion nerve

Each on of these cells is a small factory with special job to perform, one could say Alzheimer's breaks this factories so they no longer serve there purpose.
