The prevalence of pollution, autism, ADHD, depression and cognitive slowing has garnered more attention in recent years. My experience in Springfield, MO opened my eyes to see the connection between contaminated water and a flood of ADHD patients with high cholesterol, low vitamin D, and a lot more thyroid disease than should have been expected. It turns out the PFAS epidemic has thousands of locations.
I decided to become certified in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) for two reasons. First, so that I could use the dementia screening test with veterans disability evaluations. Second, the research has continued to explode supporting it’s helpfulness in recent years. View the MoCA Clinic data and you’ll be impressed too. Their videos are worth the time if you really want to delve deeper in preventing and reversing dementia.
