Loosing Your Mind in The Philippines

[@les8518]

Excellent video Mark. Thank you very much for posting. I was some what shocked when you say that there is no care for Dementia in the USA. In my country New Zealand there is state care. I am now retired in Thailand. Enjoy your videos. Thank you very much.

[@SickGrand-Pa]

Agreed.

[@brianphuket5951]

Drop the sugar, add in more fats [brain food] drop the carbs, do more fish veggies and proteins, you'll save your mind and your body will love you!! don't forget to do your parasite meds twice a year. The climate, pork, fruits and unwashed veggies have a lot of parasites, especially if you have pets which also carry a lot of parasites and worms... be vigilant!!! Good Luck out there...

[@everymanhasastory]

Thank you for watching and for sharing this information 😀

Carnivore will make you feel at least 20 years younger. It roll stabilize heart disease and hopefully keeps cancer away. I'll be testing that second one myself. They are working on labeling alzheimer's type 3 diabetes.

[@CurtisMoe]

100% sugar is toxic, healthy animal fat is the body and minds preferred fuel source.

[@swlc5555]

I don't currently live in the Philippines/SE Asia but am curious to know what you're referring to as parasite meds that you take twice a year? That info could come in handy if I make the move.

[@kennyl.TheSilverJewelryGuy]

what are Parasite meds, never heard of them

[@JRINASIA]

Mark, great video. What I have noticed ex-pats between Japan and the Philippines is like day and night. Ex-pats in Japan more healthy and has more financial resources than the ex-pats in the Philippines with bad health and little financial resources. Basically I been living in Asia since May 1976. Those are my opinion. Keep those great coming.

[@SickGrand-Pa]

Agreed.

Dementia is the saddest disease there is. The victim knows what's coming.

[@everymanhasastory]

I agree with you Win

[@leea8451]

Good advice Mark. That's something I've thought a lot about since I do have family members that got dementia, but not until they were in their late 80s.

[@dargardargar]

For seniors, early dementia can start anytime. It only gets worse from there. No cure, as you say; but you can slow it down, somewhat. Something similar happened to my buddy, a long term resident of Japan. He's fortunate to have a rock-solid partner in his Japanese spouse. Sad your buddy didn't find such a gem. Hope she's held accountable someday.

[@SickGrand-Pa]

Agreed.

I do know that in Thailand there are more and more inexpensive memory care living facilities becoming available. Many appear legitimate, safe, beautiful and at much less than half the cost in USA!

[@les8518]

I am retired in Thailand and have seen some of these lovely places on KZbin. They will be cheaper than the US. But they are still not cheap.

[@jetd9716]

Lose your mind is the last thing you don't want to be in if your here in the Philippines, but it happens and that could be tragic. Just make sure you have built a system where you have individuals you can count on and trust, like wife, girlfriend or relatives. It could be hard to do though, unless the person is one of a having a holy and well spirited demeanor.

Great video mate. Stay safe, greetings from Oz..

[@GaryC1957]

Good subject that everyone should pay attention to. That’s why it’s important to have at least one close expat friend that has your information and will check on you occasionally. I’ve seen expats partner up with a Filipina and they seem good together but when things gets bad physically or mentally they take advantage of the expat. Many are caring and dependable partners until the end but there are always ones who takes advantage.

[@everymanhasastory]

Unfortunately I have to agree with you. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀

Great idea for a vid. My dad died from ALZ & I can relate to this topic.

I cant imagine there is anything resembling a memory care facility here

Nothing new there.

[@jackdraper2849]

Great for you to do a video like this. I just came from a nursing facility to see someone who is 10 years older than me and has dementia. I don't think he knew who I was. And a year ago he knew me. -- He also has parkinsons. And it's believed that contributed to his getting dementia.

[@albathoughtsofficial]

Thanks for discussing this important topic! Hope guys will take their relationships with Filipinas seriously...You should take your time and try to find someone you can really trust to be your legal wife. Hopefully, you will find this woman... Plenty of good examples of Filipina wives taking good care of their elderly/sick expat husbands on YT. On this Thanksgiving day, bless you all!

If your mind gets loose, you gotta just tighten that thing down again.

[@canadiantraveller604]

As seniors get older, the percentage that get Alzheimer's disease increases dramatically, like over 20%, so don't assume that just because you don't have relatives in their 50s and 60s who got it makes you immune. More people need to plan for this than you have alluded to in your video.
