I imagine many peole don't know about this. Our family doctor explained it to us when my mother was in her late 70's and in early to mid Alzheimer's. As we age we become much more sensitive on all levels and our physical state is more intertwined with our mental and emotional states. I even noticed myself a year or so after that that I felt quite emotional with a urinary infection (in my 50's). My mother has been infection-free for many years now; she's been taking urinary tonic prepared by a highly qualified local practitioner. So please look into this & perhaps you can suggest that families consider these 'alternative' therapies.

I suggested to her that she perhaps should have her doctor examine her mother for a UTI. Sure enough, that's what she had - quickly and easily treated. Even members of the medical community don't always connect confusion and UTI's, but I suspect rapidly developing dementia is quite often caused by a UTI. Thanks for the post.

One woman got them so frequently she was put on a cranberry supplement, over-the-counter stuff - it worked. This would happen often in residences I worked at.
