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 is when your thyroid gland, located at the front of your neck, produces too much thyroid hormone. The extra thyroid hormone causes your metabolism to speed up. This may seem like a good thing, but when your body works too hard it can take a toll on your heart, bones, and mood.
