Alzheimers is the other pandemic with more than 1,8 million families affected in Mexico. Alzheimer's has no cure yet, but drug-free therapy is available that slows down dementia's progress so that persons with dementia and their families will have more quality of life.

Dementia is not on the public agenda. Stigma, misinformation, and the consideration of memory loss as 'normal in old age allow families to hide people with dementia and deprive them of their right to health. As families don't know about benefits of drug-free therapy, and doctors don't inform them either, persons with dementia will not access timely to therapies to slow down dementia's progress. They join lately the online therapies and will have more ongoing damage. Rural areas are most affected
