Yesterday my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and prescribed the medication for that and told she can no longer drive. She is 74 and took three jabs. My sister and I saw her quickly decline and become forgetful, brain fog some days, but some days were fine. Her father died age 92 and suffered from the same diagnosis but much later in his life. I’m still processing this and what it means for her life span and it’s quite difficult. any words from anyone who experienced this would be appreciated, thank you

I am so very sorry. That is so devastating.

My dad (84) has what I believe to be dementia or Alzheimer's, he refuses to be screened. He has brain fog, forgetfulness, is always angry, has severe depression, and in his words, he thinks it is time to die. Watching all of this is killing me. I too am suffering from severe depression and hopelessness, frustration and anger, which has led to anxiety, grief, digestion and sleep issues He took two jabs back when they first came out, despite me begging, pleading, crying, and trying everything to stop him. I don't feel guilty any more but am still so angry I could not stop him. His condition has most certainly worsened since then. Definitely. Neither parent of his had memory issues.

So for lifespan, I can't say. And certainly everyone is different so your mom might fare very well. I wish I could help more, and again, I am so sorry.

Thank you for this link, Maggie…, just listened to this lovely song of praise. Coincidentally, the next song up was a song with the same title by Cody Johnson. Lately, I stop everything and listen when Cody Johnson sings. I love his melodious voice and, as a country music fan, I think he’s the best singer of country that I’ve heard in a long time.

Four Winds i especially relate to where you’ve been. I just lost my Mom at 84 after a stroke and dementia; she refused to see a neurologist after a bad fall years ago. The last couple years her behavior seemed similar to your Dad’s; always negative, angry, combative. The last couple months we had her in an afc home and they kept trying different meds on her that i ultimately had to approve so they wouldn’t kick her out.

As her patient advocate since 2020, i kept her safe from Covid and she never got the jab. I’m proud of that but still have guilt over all the meds at the end even though i know she had no quality of life and it was actually a blessing that she finally slipped away.

It’s disturbing so many people are getting dementia these days whether as a result of brain injuries, pharmaceuticals, or environmental factors. I’m still trying to make sense of it all so i don’t have huge words of wisdom, but please know that you and Magnolia are not alone. 💛

FourWinds's avatar

Thank you, I really appreciate your response. I'm sorry you lost your mom.

This is shameful to admit and I struggle with it daily: I love my dad so much and don't want him to die, as he is the last family I have that I am somewhat close with, but at the same time, it is clear he wants to leave this world. There is a part of me that will be relieved because he won't be in pain any more. But then that makes me feel guilty and terrible. It's kind of a no win scenario.

FourWinds - I believe we in America (especially we 'boomers') were brought up in the "Disney world" time warp - the "zippedy doo dah" philosophy about life. Well....DEATH is part of LIFE and perhaps we need to embrace that reality and not be afraid of it. Just like 'machines' that are wornweary and ready for the "junkyard"....our bodies are NOT eternal - only our SOULS and when we give our souls to the Lord Jesus Christ - DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. So do NOT feel "guilty" when you guide your father into the doorway to eternity - he will be SO OVERJOYED meeting his Savior face to face!!! Hold his hand as he travels into the REAL WORLD and you will rejoice, knowing that when you next see your father--both of you will be WHOLE and FILLED WITH OUR CREATOR'S 'AGAPE' LOVE--the most PURE LOVE OF ALL!

How to disentangled from conflicting thoughts? Very difficult to place into words ... that all burdens are not our burden to sort out. But when I finally had come to see the impossibility of being 'the arbiter and decider of all things', I just threw up my arms into the air and turned it all over to God. Because there was no other choice. (Matthew 11:28 ... and that is the one of 'ye who are heavily burdened, come to me and I will give rest'. And I ignored that one all of my early life!)

How strange it is, at least by my lights, that the best torturers of ourselves is our own self. And the strangeness is that my torturing of myself only lifted once I gave up on being all things, understanding that for better or worse I can be no more than what God made me to be ... and this in my very little, small daily life. Anything else is futility, anguish and suffering.

I cannot "like" these Comments because I have serious concerns for my sons--both of whom have been jabbed and boosted (even though I shared GOOD INFO from Dr. Kory and Dr. McCullough over the past 3 years with them.

DO GET HELP caring for your loved ones who are "sliding into mental oblivion" - you cannot do it "alone". If you have a church family--go to your pastor and request help to care for your loved ones. "Respite care" daily is recommended for YOU so you are refreshed from the extreme energy sap this cognitive decline wreaks on caregivers!!

I see there are some recommendations below by a "Comment" today from FLORIDATRANSPLANT for some NATURAL/HOLISTIC treatments for cognitive decline/clinical depression. Read Florida Transplant's Comment - it's one of the main reasons that I continue to check in with the C & C "Army" daily - the TRULY HELPFUL recommendations and also Biblical references (especially from Janice).

Father had this and passed in 2019 before any shots. It is very hard to deal with, not gonna lie. That last Father's Day with him he didn’t know who I was. Lost his wife, my mom, of 65 years a few months before from heart disease. Who knew we’d all be grateful they died before the covid madness so we could be with them at the end.

Why did you ever feel guilty, and why feel angry now that you couldn't stop your dad from self-destructing? I thought anti-vaxxers (the ones like me anyway) believe in freedom of choice. That includes the choice to follow the doctor's advice. For her last 15 years or so, my mom, who recently died at 100, would be prescribed meds that immediately harmed her mentally and physically. Statins and BP meds mostly. My wife and I would point out what was happening, she'd stop taking them, and improve. She'd have a doctor's appointment, be back on the same meds, and the cycle would repeat. We never felt the least bit guilty, why would we? Angry at the doctors, sure, but not angry at her choices - that's her being her. You can't fix stupid and gullible. You can only try to help.

While I can appreciate that you’ve sought out top sleep doctors around the world, they are equally as brainwashed and captured by pig pharma/maintream idiology, etc. Sleep is extremely important but so is getting out in nature and getting natural vitamin D during the day.

While it’s a small amount of melatonin, if you’re getting enough sunlight/vitamin D during the day, you shouldn’t need melatonin and I don’t recommend taking it on a regular basis. It’s a hormone that your body naturally produces and by taking additional amounts you’re messing with your hormones.

Magnesium is super important but please don’t take Calm. Most of the Calm products are using Magnesium citrate which is the cheapest form and least helpful in terms of helping one sleep. That’s why if you take too much you get 💩💩 you want a high quality magnesium glycinate. I would personally look for pill form… Calm flavors have tons of natural flavoring which is actually not natural at all. It also has stevia which I personally am not a fan.

I’m shocked this hasn’t been mentioned but exercise! Even if it’s just walking outside for 30-45 min a day it’s so so important and helps with depressing and sleep 10x over.

And lastly make sure you’re eating a healthy diet. Try and cut out as much processed foods as possible. Lots of protein, veggies and fruit. Limit your sugar intake.

I was told years ago by a naturopath that glycinate is better for anxiety and sleep while citrate is much better for constipation. I hope that's accurate because the gummies I use for my kids' severe constipation is citrate specifically for that reason. I swear, it can be so hard to get a straight answer sometimes. If anyone here knows of a much better form for constipation, please let me know.

Another thing that helps constipation (and pretty much everything else in the body) is proper hydration. Huge subject, but Dr Dana Cohen wrote a wonderful book called "Quench" that sums it all up for laypeople. It is a great mix of theory & practical action steps. I no longer suffer from dry eye because of her advice. (She's also done a few podcasts if you prefer video format).

Yes, also a great choice! There are actually 5-6 different types of Magnesium and they all have different focuses and help in different areas. But most multi-vitamins that include Magnesium typically include citrate because it's the cheapest - but it's also doing nothing to help you.

Andrew Huberman has done great podcasts on this. He says there are four things you need for your sleep cycle to be straigtened out: morning sunlight (colors of the sunrise) in your eyes; sunlight from the afternoon/evening sunset (the colored light is important again); as much sunlight as possible during the day; and as much darkness as possible at night. Of course, you don't look directly at the sun, but you must be outside. I also wear blue-light blocking glasses in the evening, and it seems to help. I highly recommend Huberman's website and podcasts.

I used to live in Washington just east of Seattle. None of those things would be possible except for three months in summer. The rest of the year you’ll be lucky to see a short glimpse of sun once a day. Probably why the state leads in suicide and serial killers….it’s real. After 18 years of it, we were finally able to move to a much sunnier place and the difference is huge!!!!! I sleep so much better now and my mood has improved!

CALM, originally owned by Natural Vitality, and then by Wellnext. was acquired by Clorox in 2017. It took 10 minutes of digging to find this out and Wellnext sneakily rebranded to change it's name to "Nutranext" before the acquisition by Clorox. https://www.nutraingredients-usa.com/Article/2018/03/12/Clorox-to-acquire-supplement-company-Nutranext-for-700-million#

I have a naturopath physician friend who has advised her patients not to use CALM for several years now (I used to, and still have a jar of it in my pantry). Research magnesium supplements through a better source, such a Fullscript, or The Wellness company. You can make a Fullscript account for free and follow Dr. DiNicolantonio or Dr. Mark McDonald (Dissident MD substack) for really good protocols for sleep, depression, etc. but check with a doctor who knows supplementation - it's usually not your PCP, I'm sorry to say.

There are many different types of magnesium and it is beneficial to take a blend of types -- (citrate, glycinate and malate, not just citrate) and a brand that is excellent is Professional Formula's Magnesium complex. PF is a privately owned company not bought out by big corp or pharma https://professionalformulas.com/pf-values/

At some point in time maybe 20+ years ago, Big Pharma using the arm of the government must have felt too many people were using supplements instead of prescription pills. They went after the supplement industry and imposed regulations on them including a restriction on stating what various supplements would benefit. I didn't realize that BP went into buying supplement companies as well. I'm so disgusted with BP in general.

Good advice for sleep, and, yes - take B vitamins in the morning. The sleep aids you suggest are a great alternative to toxic Rx and over the counter drugs. The irony is that folks with insomnia often take stuff with the antihistamine called diphenhydramine (think: Tylenol PM, Zzyquil, Benadryl, etc.); products which have been available over the counter for many years now. Drugs such as these damage the brain and cause poor and permanent cognitive impairment. These drug-induced sleeps aren’t natural; they don’t allow the brain to do it’s overnight healing.

Agree completely. We are in the process of transitioning to a sort of but not concierge care, where we pay $100 each per month (less if you aren't a geezer) and no further payments for telemedicine or house visits. They have no office. The best part of that is that they now have an incentive to keep you healthy. This will compete the process of moving to 100 % non allopathic Rockefeller paractitioners. I encourage everyone to do the same if you value your health. More expensive leaving insurance behind? Sure. But what price your health, without which, what's left?

I've read that as well and think the IVM might be helpful anyway just from an angle of reducing spike protein attachment to ACE and other pathways it may be helpful with detoxing from the vax. You must be a 2SG reader as well perhaps?? Again best of luck.

I posted this in a different spot. Important, so it bears repeating, re coconut oil:

There is a great website put together by a woman MD, Dr. Mary Newport, whose husband Steve developed early-onset Alzheimers at about age 47.

She found that the medium-chain triglycerides in coconut oil had a healing effect on his brain. One Tablespoon, 3X a day. It sounds very simplistic but true. There is so much information and videos on this site. Amazing. Dr. Newport was a practicing Neonatologist in Florida where she still lives.

Honestly, you get used to it. I'm looking at 15 bottles that I take at one point or another during my day (only 2 are prescription--the rest are all supplements) and that doesn't count all the ones I have to take more than one pill from. But if you feel a lot better when you take them it makes a difference. I will admit to having days where I skip some or most of them in a fit of pique which is ok with all of them thank goodness. Not everything is safe to do that with which is why I prefer to be "dependent" on supplements--forgetting or skipping isn't harmful or fatal.

Keep in mind, a lot of supplements come in powdered or liquid form (they're generally much cheaper this way, also). You can just mix a bunch of them together in a few nasty-tasting gulps of water and be done with it. My pre-bedtime mix is currently magnesium chloride, diatomaceous earth, zinc, potassium chloride, MSM, and iodine in about 3 oz of water. I sleep better than I have in 40 years...usually for 8-9 hours per night.

Don, we lost our son to brain cancer at 16 years old and tried to save his life naturally. They killed him with a lie, but that's another story. We learned a TON about the brain and apply that to our life now and our other 3 children. I became a Juice Plus rep so we take the vegetable, fruit, berry, and omega capsules as a baseline for our now extremely healthy lifestyle. We eat organic food and skip all processed. The big deal is the oils and fats in your house. The brain thrives on healthy fat. So ditch anything that is NOT organic coconut oil (can use in high heat), avocado oil, but only the Chosen Brand, I think the rest aren't proven if they are truly avocado, and organic, extra virgin olive oil, we stick to brands from Italy and Greece. I know of a Doc who did an experiment on her husband who couldn't put his pants on anymore....she gave him 2 T of coconut oil per day and within two weeks, he was able to put his pants on again. I know....not a true scientific experiment, but you get the point. We no longer use MDs, and pay out of pocket for everything. One test we do every 6 months is HTMA...it's hair sample testing that gives info on all mineral and vitamin shortages in your body. I have a great functional gal in Idaho who tests for that and you just mail it in, she's amazing. You get a 20-page feedback on you, what you can do to help yourself, and a Zoom with her to guide you. You have my prayers and admiration for taking care of your wife and loving her well.

No but she is taking a med for BP - and her BP went up right after her second jab. The dementia presented after the third jab (about 8-12 months ago) For her entire life she had very low (but safe) BP. There's no doubt in my mind that the rise in BP was a direct result of the jabs.

I am going throught the same thing right now! My mom turned 80 last month. She has been slipping for years and she is not fun loving as she used to be, gets angry at me for nothing, forgets a lot, can't focus and doesn't want to. Deep things we talked about are gone.

However, I can still enjoy her company when I came to the conclusion that change must happen, and I am going to make the best of it. It is like mourning them before they go, but when they do, I think it will be easier to accept. I just want to keep her happy. She was and is a good mom to me. She is not vaxxed for covid or the flu but it happens to us anyway.

I forewarn you about the toxic dementia meds doctors commonly prescribe that do not help and make things worse. Look up the side effects. A very close friend's dad is on them and none of them make any difference and the doctor doesn't care. In her case, he won't go to bed and is up all night with sundowners eating and he is diabetic. She asked for something to help him sleep like diazapam but the doc refuses. At this point, he is so bad, it doesn't matter if he takes those dementia meds, but he needs to sleep. I'd leave that doc but it's not me...

I think a lot of meds like cholesterol actually cause this ailment.

God bless

The current drug, Aricept, is mostly ineffective but expensive. It may retard disease progression by a few months but when stopped one often sees an immediate drop in cognitive scores. The new one is absolutely WORTHLESS. It was fully approved by the FDA despite the unanimous objections of the advisory panel because of demonstrated lack of efficacy. It did nothing! In fact, the entire advisory panel resigned in protest. But like Remdesivir it is hugely expensive and Pharma knew it would be a trillion dollar cash cow for a growing problem. Talk about exploiting desperate people and their loved ones! The FDA is beyond corrupt. They are evil. But we knew that…….

My father (83) is now in a memory care village. He has hooked up with a female resident and they each think the other is the deceased spouse. But they're mostly happy. Had my sister and I been able to intervene sooner, we would have used Dale bredesen's protocol. Indeed, when dad eats my sister's food (not institutional food), he really has a boost in cognition. I highly recommend reading bredesen's work and looking for a practitioner who can help. Cognitive decline can be slowed, sometimes even reversed.

I think Jeff ( not positive) may have addressed this at some point that a number of independent researchers are alarmed about the mRNA’s recently-discovered tendency to produce random misfolded proteins, which they worry is a recipe for dementia.

A study showed the spike protein caused cognitive decline in mice. But since the mRNA vax makes our cells into spike protein factories, well you can read between the lines. In fairness to the authors they didn't make the connection to the vax (though just about everyone I know who read the study did).

Re melatonin, some snips that I have collected:

Melatonin as an antioxidant: under promises but over delivers

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jpi.12360

-

Melatonin is a popular therapeutic with relatively low toxicity. Its main market is for the treatment of sleep disorders. There are dosing strategies, side effects and QC issues but cannot make any personal recommendations as we all have different tolerances and medical & drug histories.36

—-

Regarding spike-induced damage to the mitochondria, we have a good ally: melatonin. 

This article was written by Dr. Russell Reiter, the leading expert on melatonin.

https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/17/12/2124

Melatonin is uncommonly effective in reducing oxidative stress under a remarkably large number of circumstances. It achieves this action via a variety of means: direct detoxification of reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species and indirectly by stimulating antioxidant enzymes while suppressing the activity of pro-oxidant enzymes.

melatonin also reportedly chelates transition metals, which are involved in the Fenton/Haber–Weiss reactions; in doing so, melatonin reduces the formation of the devastatingly toxic hydroxyl radical resulting in the reduction of oxidative stress.

Melatonin's ubiquitous but unequal intracellular distribution, including its high concentrations in mitochondria, likely aid in its capacity to resist oxidative stress and cellular apoptosis. There is credible evidence to suggest that melatonin should be classified as a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant.

Experimental findings also indicate that melatonin renders treatment-resistant cancers sensitive to various therapeutic agents and may be useful, due to its multiple antioxidant actions, in especially delaying and perhaps treating a variety of >>> age-related diseases and dehumanizing conditions. <<<

Melatonin has been effectively used to combat oxidative stress, inflammation and cellular apoptosis and to restore tissue function in a number of human trials; its efficacy supports its more extensive use in a wider variety of human studies. The uncommonly high-safety profile of melatonin also bolsters this conclusion.

If your mom isn't see a functional medicine physician, I encourage you to consider finding one who could see her. You can use the "Find a Practitioner" link at www.ifm.org

Also https://www.ifm.org/news-insights/addressing-the-root-causes-of-cognitive-decline-and-dementia/

Hopefully her current prescribing physician did more than prescribe a drug, and talked about the importance of ruling out insulin resistance, which is so commonly found to be a root cause.

See https://www.verywellhealth.com/why-is-alzheimers-called-type-3-diabetes-98797

My mom died of dementia (Parkinson's) in Dec 2020. We noticed how bad it was in 2018 when our dad died (he had been covering it up and keeping it hidden from us). Our mom's younger sister moved in with her to help take care of her, so that was good. Consider yourself fortunate that it didn't happen during covid. I regret not taking more time off from work to take care of her even though I spent more time with her than my siblings did. If you have brothers and sisters, get help. It's too much for 1 child. I also regret not getting professional in home care sooner than we did.

The medications might help, but there are also side effects you have to watch out for.

Also, and I can't stress how important this is, there were times she was really bonkers and it turned out to be a UTI. I don't know why, but UTIs mess with older people's brain. She would go for days not making sense, and we discovered the UTI, gave her the medicine and she was fine. They make test strips you can get at a pharmacy.

Also, do not trust hospitals to care for your mom if she has to be hospitalized for some reason. I'm not sure if they are even fed because nurses don't have enough time.

Another tip, especially if she is getting up in the middle of the night is to use baby monitors. I'd also investing in bed railings to help keep her from getting out of bed in the middle of the night.
