How My Mom's Overcome Alzheimer’s & Dementia with Consummo

 

My name is Christene. I support the Walk to End Alzheimer’s because as a caregiver I have learned a lot from the association and want to see more public awareness and education about dementia. I have looked after my Mom at home since her Alzheimer's disease diagnosis over 10 years ago. GP referred us to the Cognitive Disorders Clinic at the hospital where she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. None of us expected Mom’s symptoms to be dementia – she was only 58. Getting a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or dementia is filled with ups and downs, highs and lows. A journey with an elusive and ever-changing destination. This disease makes me and the whole family so sad. It was a long and painful journey before doctors reached this conclusion.

When I look back now I wonder why it took so long to realise that my Mom was ill. The strange behavior, she became more absentminded - the lapses in memory,  She was having trouble with writing and spelling, became quieter and more withdrawn, She would struggle to find the word she needed in a conversation, the inability to fill out simple forms, were all things that changed so slowly that I acclimatised myself to them all. Initially she was given the drug Aricept but we found it spoiled her sleep.  And later Galantamine suited her much better but no positive improvement before we came across Green Mountains Herbal & Treatment Clinic through a group.

Caring is an all-consuming onerous task but Green Mountains Herbal & Treatment Clinic made that easier and achievable with help of Consummo Herbs. It remains an overriding responsibility and cannot be denied, but the emotional and physical support from friends and family contributed to her quick recovery. It works wonders on her. Our Mom now remains fit and mobile. She sleeps well and her appetite is very healthy. Her speech is coherent. She now had recollection of names and faces, And now has the concept of time or place. Her smile lights up the room. As time passes her world gets better and we are grateful for this.

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) cured

 

My husband Daniel was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2011 at 72 when we noticed his mental decline and forgetfulness, It took a year of endless questions, tests, scans, appointments with psychiatrists, neurologists and doctors.

He was described as being in late stages. After that he had an additional diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. His psychological symptoms include depression and hallucination with aggressive behaviour and overall personality changes,  he was looked after by a palliative care team. The care agency were fantastic in managing the complexities and uncertainties of the disease at the beginning but later was sectioned and taken to a psychiatric hospital with a promise that once the correct drug was found to help Daniel sleep at night he would return home.  This is where our journey really started.  With horrendous side-effects from drugs, a care home that didn’t care, and a forensic hospital.

One of the things that I was never prepared for besides my husband no longer recognising me was the loneliness. Through Daniel’s illness we have lost family who turned their back on us, this in turn has caused psychological problems. It has all been a journey of self-discovery. Dr. Justin' intervention comes at the right time, when all hope was lost, Alzheimer’s wouldn’t have just robbed me of my husband but of my future with him.

The excellent standard care that my husband received through your Herbs gave our family the platform to focus on spreading this information to other caregivers and families here in the country. I'm now free from the stresses of daily feeding, bathing and cleaning, our visits to the Italy are a special moment, we will never forget. If you are considering your choices I hope this helps. However, while on Consummo Herbs, socialising, exercising, eating a healthy diet and keeping your brain active are all very beneficial. Taking the time to look after yourself and build up a support network at the start, can give you reassurance and make your life easier and more enjoyable

DON'T GIVE UP

MY STORY AS A LAWYER

I’m a practicing lawyer, who had suffered from chronic schizophrenia. I have spent hundreds of days in psychiatric hospitals. I could have ended up living most of my life backward, but things turned out quite differently.

In fact, I've stayed free of hospitals and stable for almost 3 years. This is perhaps my proudest accomplishment. Consummo Herbs by Dr. Justin worked the magic. And by this, I mean, I have been free of all psychiatric struggles.

Everything about my illness says that I shouldn't be alive. But I am. And I am, I think, for three reasons. First, I've had an excellent herbal treatment, Consummo. Second, I have many family members and close friends who know me and who know my illness. Third, UO Law School is an enormously supportive workplace that has been able not just to accommodate my needs, but to embrace my needs.

Even with all of that -- excellent treatment, wonderful friends and family, enormously supportive work environment is all a mental patient needs --, I did not make my illness public until relatively late in my life. And that's because the stigma against mental illness is so powerful that I didn't feel safe with people knowing. If you hear nothing else today, please hear that there are not schizophrenics, there are people with schizophrenia. And each of these people may be a parent, maybe your sibling, maybe your neighbor, maybe your colleague.

What those of us who had suffered from mental illness want is what everyone wants: to work and to love.
