Diet pills can harm your kidneys. While you probably know that the safest and most effective way to lose weight permanently is to eat less and exercise more, Americans have an obsession with rapid results. As a consequence, diet pills are a big business for manufacturers. Some, however, are very unsafe, and have been linked to kidney problems and damage.
Medication and supplements that can completely cure reversible dementias include: 1  Vitamin B12 supplements for pernicious anemia. 2  Hormonal supplements for hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or other imbalances.  SSRIs or other antidepressants for depression symptoms which may mimic dementia.
Hyperthyroidism means that the thyroid gland makes and releases too much thyroid hormone, causing symptoms such as weight loss, higher blood pressure and nervousness. A mild form of the condition is called subclinical hyperthyroidism. In this study, researchers looked at about 6,200 people in Denmark who were diagnosed with subclinical hyperthyroidism between 2000 and 2009 and found that they had a significantly increased risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and other causes.
