The Hard Case of Alzheimers Tonight at MMK

I was fortunate to see Ms. Sylvia Sanchez over the weekend and got to talk to her personally. She’s one of the country’s best dramatic actress and it is evident in her past projects, notable series which we have seen over the years. Of course, her caliber is unquestionable. I have watched her son and daughter’s MMK episode last week and I must say, it is in the genes. This evening, it will be her turn, an emotional episode discussing Alzheimers disease, of dimentia and the effects of it in the family.

Aside from the queen of realistic dramas, she will also be with high caliber actor Nonie Buencamino, and the legendary actress Ms. Boots Anson Roa. Nothing much was discussed in the trailer being shown these past few days, but I bet it will be very heavy. This has family conflict, after years of not being with her family, she goes back with an ailing mother who suddenly could not remember her, or anybody for that matter. How would she be able to make amends with the issues they had in the past? How would she be able to go and get back the lost years and fix the broken relationships? How would she be able to get her to understand her feelings, or communicate if they don’t see eye to eye? When you want to make a connection but lost her in the end, not knowing if you would still find her, how would things end?

Watch the show at 8:30PM today and see the story of the Panganiban family and their struggles to live with someone who has Alzheimers. Will they find her and bring her back home?

I hope so too. This is under the direction of Nuel Naval and written by Benson Logronio and Arah Badayos.

Have you forgotten something?! : Alzheimer's Memory Walk

I somehow think of Michael J. Fox if I hear stories about Alzheimer's Disease. It's sad that of the fantastic 80's movies that he made, he suddenly was struck by Parkinson's Disease. He was doing orgs for stem cell research and finding out also the co-relation between the two. I hope a cure would in over three years by a team led by ProteoTech Inc. (Kirkland, WA) develop a treatment for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease that can disrupt or inhibit clumping of the protein alpha-synuclein. This clumping is associated with the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brains of people with AD and PD. The researchers theorize that blocking this protein clumping could prevent further cell loss and stop this disease’s progression.

Other organizations such as the Alzheimer's Association, is holding Alzheimer's Memory Walk which is the nation's largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care, support and research. Its looking for team captain's to sign up and enjoin their community to benefit and help a lot of people for this event.About 30 percent of Americans over the age of 65 are affected by this disease, so do your share now!Join the Alzheimer's Memory Walk!
