Alzheimers Disease

Summers end is just around the corner

Hey everyone.

 August is just around the corner and fall will be here in no time at all. Now is the time to get out there and get your body moving before old man winter prevents you from getting outdoors. Did you know that just a brisk walk around the block and give your metabolism the extra boost it needs to shed unwanted pounds? It is also good for brain function and good heart health. So get off your butt and walk!

Good Morning Wonderful World!!!

As most of you know when my father passed away last August, from end stages of Alzheimer’s, my mother was diagnosed with the same disease the week he died.  She was depressed and distraught not only with the passing of my father but with her own diagnosis. All she could think about was her own slow demise of dignity and self. She wanted to try every medication out there to get “rid” of this disease. However, with the side effects from the prescriptions, she was worse than ever. It was then that I vowed to find anything and everything I could to treat this disease naturally. I cannot tell you how excited I am with the results.
 
I first took her off all the prescriptions and re-evaluated them with her doctor to determine which were really needed and which I could treat without the dangerous drugs. I did not want to take her off of a drug that would cause more harm than good. So the Aricept was the first to go. We lowered the dose on both her pain and blood pressure medication. These were the only medications I felt she really needed but in lower amounts. I then evaluated her diet. Let me just say that I had no idea elderly people ate such horrible foods. I created a diet for her and with lots of fighting, we came to a happy middle ground that we can both live with. Next, I got her on supplements. I have her taking Women’s Bio, Cardiac FX, Omega Science, Homocysteine, Adaptogreen Plus, and a few other supplements for brain stimulus. Over the past months the improvement has been remarkable
 
she is doing so well that most of the time no one can tell she has this debilitating ailment. Her doctors have said she has gained 35% of her brain function back and she is now exercising almost every day. She still has some issues with her speech due to a mild stroke she had 5 years ago, but we work on that everyday and keep her very busy. Her spirits are high most days and I am grateful that she is here with me.I have had many people ask me "Mick, how can you be so excited about life when your mother has this disease that robs your very mind, the same disease that stole your dad"? My answer is always the same, I am excited that my mother has more good days than bad, I am excited that she improves everyday, I am excited that we both wake every morning and laugh at this disease and have fun with some of the silly things it can make you do. I am excited that she is alive and with me, even if it is a bad day, my mother is just that, my mother and she is having a good life despite her disease. As far as my dad goes, I got to him too late to help, but the short time he lived with me I made sure that everyday was all about him. Every day I took him somewhere and had my friends make a big deal over him being there. He died at age 82 and he was a good man who was loved by all. And I can only hope I can be half the man he was.How can I be excited about life? When I wake in the morning I consider it a miracle, not everyone wakes from the nights slumber. When I get out of bed I am thankful, not everyone can walk. When I brush my teeth, I think what a great life I have with running water. Not everyone has clean water at the beck and call. When I open my refrigerator I am in awl that I have such an abundance of food, there are millions that go hungry everyday. When I look at my over-inflated mortgage payment I am thankful I have a home. How can I be excited about life? How can I not be!

Peace and Wellness,

Mick

It is finally in the works!

Hey everyone! 

What a great time of year! The weather has been beautiful and the world is finally becoming a greener place to live. With more focus on recycling and organic products there is no better time to get on board the new green movement.

I have been working on a healthy cook book with loads of great recipes and wellness tips and all of them help to reduce landfills and garbage dumps by limiting the processed cans and boxes. These healthful meals will not only help make the world a cleaner place to live but they will also make your body a cleaner and strong temple.

I am working hard at getting this completed in time to have the book available at the Southern Women’s Show in Oct. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed. Don't forget to check out my website www.NutriLifeWellnessCenter.com for wellness and cooking plans to help you get into the best shape of your life.

Remember to do one good thing for you today... And get off your butt! 

Peace
