Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease is on the rise. From 2000-2014, deaths from ailments such as heart disease, stroke, HIV and certain cancers fell dramatically, but over the same amount of time, deaths related to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease increased by a staggering 89 percent. Currently, one in three seniors die with some form of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. The good news is that these conditions can be preventable and/or treatable with the appropriate testing and lifestyle interventions, and the sooner you start, the better.
Painovich has practiced holistic medicine for over 20 years. In recent years, she has become passionate about treating neurodegenerative diseases such as mild cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease using a comprehensive approach combining acupuncture and Chinese herbs with nutritional and wellness interventions.

The Sunshine Club often has LW leaders come to meetings to introduce their organizations to the group. It also invites a wide variety of specialists from outside to share their experiences and ideas with club members.
Last week’s meeting with Victor Rocha, director of GRF Security Services, drew 55 participants, which is the highest attendance since the club switched to Zoom meetings over seven months ago.
