I have enjoyed the Willis' action movies I've seen. As for his present illness, which also afflicted my father and is at work on me, here's what I know, what I think I know and what I guess. You can accept/reject it on that. I'm not a doctor:

Plaque begins building up early, maybe in your teens, and it coats the entire circulatory system in a slow buildup of micro-thin layers over the years.

So the solution is to remove the buildup -- the coating. Whatever removes the coating is what you want to regularly consume in your diet, and that would be whatever gives you a clearer head over time as blood circulation provides greater oxygen and nourishment.

That would be regular excercise that doesn't kill you and supplements, foods, etc known to combat and/or reverse the condition. Duh. That's all there is to it. You will tell if what you're doing is helping by how you feel. Really very simple, eh? Well, it's all I got.

Good luck, and I do wish you well.

I've had two family members suffer from dementia and it's a terribly heart breaking condition. I wish he and his family well as they are in for a rough ride.

Bruce Willis has dementia? Why he should just change careers and run for office! The Democrats will elect him in a New York minute!

After all, what's one more Pelosi, Feinstein, Federmen or Biden to the Democrats?

I heard on the radio last night that Willis' type of case was rare and had a specific name. Post it and the link if you happen across it.

Not finding the specific information. It came from a doctor close to the case. Here's the more general blurb from NYP:

February 16, 2023 Statement from family:
Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.

... For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know. Today there are no treatments for the disease ...

Not sure if that's what I heard or not on the radio. I was more asleep than awake.

...or in other words, he "calls" himself a "Republican" just like Liz is a "Republican"...
