VDT^® Featured on the syndicated television show
"The Doctors"

Alzheimer's disease, the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States, is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. Symptoms often begin to appear after age 60 and can make performing even the simplest of tasks difficult. It is the most common cause of dementia among the elderly, with one in 10 men, and one in six women being at risk for Alzheimer's.

Pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears' grandfather suffered from the disease, so in an effort to better understand it, Dr. Sears undergoes an unconventional experiment using the Second Wind Dreams Virtual Dementia Tour.

See how even the simplest tasks become extremely difficult for someone
with Alzheimer's.

The Doctors try to fight back tears as they react to the powerful images from
Dr. Sears' experiment.
