If the neurons are slowly sclerosing, if the brain cells are breaking down, there is most certainly a good reason. Remember that illness is a survival mechanism that the body puts in place. It is an essential biological solution to continue living.

Alzheimer's disease, escaping from a too heavy reality?

In the case of Alzheimer's disease or memory loss, no matter what type of conflict originated or what difficult situation one is living in, the result is always the same: one wants to get rid of a past that is too heavy or to run away from it. It can also result from a desire to escape a daily reality by locking himself in his own bubble.
The person can want to escape an unmade mourning, a tyrannical parent, an episode of rape or incest, in short a past ordeal too heavy to bear. An ordeal that she has often never (dared) to talk about to anyone. Remember that the conflict will trigger all the more health problems if it has been hidden and lived in solitude and unspoken.

It can also be an unfulfilled desire to return to one's roots and country of origin, which causes one to lose all territorial reference points, characteristic of the spatial disorientation of people with this disease. Since memory is what connects us to our ancestors, and of course to our territorial roots, memory loss would be related to the unconscious desire to forget where we come from or to get rid of a heavy baggage that was passed on to us by the family generations that preceded us.

Many therapists consider that from a symbolic point of view, memory loss or Alzheimer's disease in the elderly is an escape from daily or past reality. The person takes refuge in a "parallel" world that can be totally imaginary, but always outside of reality.

Biological conflicts at the origin of the disease

Health practitioners working on decoding Alzheimer's disease have found that people who suffer from it are often those who have experienced many similar and repetitive biological conflicts throughout their lives. Everything in their daily lives seemed conflicting and difficult to bear. The alternation between conflicts (with regard to the spouse, children, work, household tasks, etc.) and their resolution would end up causing a sort of disjunction of the neurons of certain cerebral territories and in particular those of the memory. This is especially true when the person feels neglected, not surrounded or not supported. Since everything in life is problematic, since the person constantly thinks that he or she has "failed everything" (symbolically or in reality) and feels devalued (or constantly devalues him or herself), brain dysfunction seems to be one of the ideal solutions to no longer be confronted with the various problems that need to be faced or solved.

Return to childhood

For having used them too much or for having been too busy finding solutions for others, at the end of life, the potential of memory cards seems to be exhausted. And the person will tend to forget others, but also to forget himself. We often forget that by caring too much about others and too little about ourselves, we end up forgetting ourselves. And falling back to childhood "forces" those around us to take care of us, as it will probably never have been the case.

When a child is born, its memory is (almost) "virgin". This will be developed through experience and learning. Thus, some consider that by cleaning up one's memory baggage (through illness), one aims to return to childhood. The person would try to find his inner child (joy of living, spirituality), an inner child that has always been latent but that he has too often neglected or that he has simply not sought, listened to or tried to find.

According to Dr. André Gernez, the lack of spirituality in our modern age is one of the possible causes of Alzheimer's disease. By forgetting the divine laws of nature, as well as the great cosmic and universal principles, one cuts oneself off from all spirituality.
The loss of faith, the non-search or the non-realization of the divine being in oneself, rhymes unfortunately with the loss of oneself, which in certain cases ends up at the end of life by a return to infantilism and senility.
