He also had multiple organ failure. Liver and kidney disease can cause dementias too as toxins in the body build up. I do not know how long he had liver and kidney disease or if it was just at the end of his life that it showed up. So I do not know what effect that might have had. 

From what I read he was a heavy drinker and drug user in his younger years so I'm sure that contributed.  We can stave off some of the bad things by simply not putting toxins into our bodies.  My father in law died of cyrrhosis of the liver and he was an alcoholic from early teens until he died in his sixties.  Several of my friends from my twenties are dead now and they all were into drugs.  Sad really.

By toxins I meant that the kidney and liver get rid of things in the body that are the byproducts of what we consume. If they build up because of organ failure then they cause all sorts of problems including various dementias.

Heavy metals... aluminum ... these have been linked to alzheimer's and dementia.

Why start another thread?  You and brakelite have already tried to derail this thread into a dietary law topic.

Maybe you would see that diet, metals,especially heavy metals are suspect. Biological multiplication is probably some of the problems associated with dementia. I have a particular thing about the enzymes in simple detergents. Alzheimer's has some elusive connections to diet and the environment. Please don't bash before you are sure. Maybe to contribute to the topic would be a good start for you.

Who said anything about law.? I said Manufacturers instructions. You follow Mr Chrysler's instructions not to put water in your brake cylinder, why not have the same respect for your own body?

They pretty much try to do that with every thread they get into:

- Is your car's transmission failing? It's because you didn't follow the Levitical Sabbath and dietary laws!

-Is your tax return being audited by the IRS? It's because you didn't follow the Levitical Sabbath and dietary laws!

- Did your neighbor's dog try to bite your leg? It's because you didn't follow the Levitical Sabbath and dietary laws!

- Cat got fleas? It's because you didn't follow the Levitical Sabbath and dietary laws!

- Miss "Black Friday" holiday deals this year? It's because you didn't follow the Levitical Sabbath and dietary laws!

- McDonalds short you 5 nuggets out of your 20 McNugget pack? You know the answer...

 

As to Dementia: there can be genetic predispositions to it in family history, as well as complications/ triggers from brain trauma and other factors. I agree that Mr. Cassidy's alcohol abuse did him no favors, but I also wonder if there were other factors such as heredity and whatnot involved?

I pretty much discount dietary causes of Alzeimers and dementia as well but there IS research that tells us that aluminum and other metals can affect the brain if the build up.   It's a possibility that those metals could be in food and build up over a long period though.  I also think the long term use of opioids and narcotics can cause permanent damage to the brain.

It is a fallen world and our bodies are fallen as well since sin and the Flood radically altered God's original creation and corrupted it.

OH YES. I agree with that. I also think that the canopy was of ice. (I have a couple reasons for this).

When the earth is scaled down the atmosphere is paper thin in ratio. The DNA evidence is scanty at best, but UV, Gamma and other environmental factors also contribute. It is possible that some forms of dementia are hereditary, but generally it has to do with predispositions that are poorly understood. Medical science can see what is often happening - but why it happens is not understood at present.

Our world was a fragile system before the flood and the catastrophic events that occurred. Now it is even more susceptible to the sun's rays and spot variations.

The NHS says:  Causes of Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. In Alzheimer's, the loss of brain cells leads to the brain shrinking.

Part of the brain known as the cerebral cortex is particularly affected by this shrinkage. The cerebral cortex is the layer of grey matter covering the brain. Grey matter is responsible for processing thoughts and many of the complex functions of our brains, such as storing and retrieving memories, calculation, spelling, planning and organising.

Clumps of protein, known as "plaques" and "tangles", gradually form in the brain. The plaques and tangles are thought to be responsible for the increasing loss of brain cells. Connections between brain cells are lost and less neurotransmitter chemicals are available to carry messages from one brain cell to another. The plaques and tangles also affect the chemicals that carry messages between brain cells.

Cassidy abused alcohol and drugs  in his younger years

MG,

I saw an interview with David when he was 40 and he said he used alcohol but not illegal drugs.

When you say he abused drugs are you talking what we in Australia mean prescription medication or drugs as in cocaine, marijuana, Meth etc?

David said he didnt take illegal drugs in that interview, and I believe him.
