ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every "F" in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
(SEE BELOW)






HOW MANY ?




...................... 3?


WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !


The reasoning behind is further down.




The brain cannot process "OF".

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!



Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius.
Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Send this to your friends.
It will drive them crazy.! And keep them occupied
for several minutes..!

The brain cannot process "OF".

Got to admit that the first time I read it I counted 4 but on closer reading came up with all 6 - nice one Shogun

Here is another play on words

Aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in
waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny ipromoetnt tihng is taht
frist and lsat ltteer is at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl
mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do
not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

ceehiro.

Shogun, Alzheimer's disease a progressive form of presenile dementia that is similar to senile dementia except that it usually starts in the 40s or 50s; first symptoms are impaired memory which is followed by impaired thought and speech and finally complete helplessness. It causes progressive memory loss and severe dementia in advanced cases. It is associated with certain abnormalities in brain tissue, involving a particular protein, amyloid. The gene encoding amyloid has been located and cloned from Chromosome 21

Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system characterized especially by premature senile mental deterioration. Some 2 to 4 million persons have dementia associated with aging. Of these individuals, as many as two-thirds have Alzheimer's disease.

With Alzheimer's disease and other dementia, problems with memory, judgment, and thought processes make it hard for a person to work and take part in day-to-day family and social life. Changes in mood and personality also may occur. These changes can result in a loss of self-control and other problems. Although there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease at this time, it may be possible to relieve some of the symptoms, such as wandering and incontinence. The earlier the diagnosis the more likely it is that symptoms will respond to treatment.

Who Is Affected?
The chances of getting Alzheimer's disease increase with age. It usually occurs after age 65. Most people are not affected even at advanced ages. Research indicates that there are two definite factors which may increase the risk for Alzheimer's disease: a family history of dementia and Down's syndrome.


Family History of Dementia
Some forms of Alzheimer's disease are inherited. If Alzheimer's disease has occurred in your family members, other members are more likely to develop it.

Down's Syndrome
Persons with Down's syndrome have a higher chance of getting Alzheimer's disease. Close relatives of persons with Down's syndrome also may be at risk.

A simple test developed by Lisa P. Gwyther, author of "Care of Alzheimer’s Patients: A Manual for Nursing Home Staff," helps distinguish people with normal forgetfulness from people with Alzheimer’s Disease.


When a person with normal forgetfulness forgets the name of someone or something, it is usually remembered later. Alzheimer’s patients forget the person whose name they were trying to remember.

If an item like keys is lost, the normal brain knows how to find it by retracing steps. Alzheimer’s patients may not recall the last time they had their keys, or they may fabricate a story to explain how the keys were lost.

While many people forget parts of stories, or unimportant facts of an experience, Alzheimer’s patients forget entire recent experiences.

More normal brains forget events that occurred long ago more often than recent events, while Alzheimer’s patients most often forget what happened just minutes before.

Normally forgetful persons can use reminders and notes better than an Alzheimer’s patient.

Normally forgetful individuals never lose the capacity to be self-orienting. For example, it’s common to forget upon first awakening in a new or strange place, how you got there or where you are, but you know how to look around the room, look outside and check for clues. Alzheimer’s patients lose the capacity to search for and use clues that would help them to orient themselves.

Normally forgetful people may repeat stories to distant friends that the friend has already heard. Alzheimer’s patients may repeat the same question several times in an hour to the same person.


Hope this helps.

That looks like it was LIFTED Marc
