Alzheimer's disease (AD), also known in medical literature as Alzheimer disease, is the most common form of dementia. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative disorder that attacks the brain's nerve cells, or neurons, resulting in loss of memory, thinking and language skills, and behavioral changes.

Amyloidosis (am-uh-loi-DO-sis) is a disease that occurs when substances called amyloid proteins build up in your organs. Amyloid is an abnormal protein usually produced by cells in your bone marrow that can be deposited in any tissue or organ.

Amyloidosis can affect different organs in different people, and there are different types of amyloid. Amyloidosis frequently affects the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nervous system and gastrointestinal tract.

Amyloidosis is rare, and the exact cause is often unknown. Treatments are available to help you manage your symptoms of amyloidosis and limit the production of amyloid protein. - Mayo Clinic

Arthritis is inflammation of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Osteoarthritis is usually caused by normal wear and tear, while rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder. Other types of arthritis can be caused by uric acid crystals, infections or even an underlying disease, such as psoriasis or lupus.

Treatments vary depending on the type of arthritis. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. - Mayo Clinic

Auric Field or Energy Field is the name for the collective field that penetrates and surrounds all living things. In the human being, there are seven identifiable levels of the energy field which interpenetrate and collectively create the human aura. Each level is created by its corresponding major chakra. The aura has an electro-magnetic nature and can be sensed by many practitioners. Also referred to as Individual Energy Field (IEF) and Human Energy Field (HEF). Barbara Brennan uses the term Human Energy Field (HEF) as that part of the Universal Energy Field (UEF) associated with an individual human being or body (Hands of Light, page 41).
