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

  1. This is a terrible disease. I also was diagnosed 2 years ago. First with MCI, that has now progressed to Early Alzheimer’s. It’s frightening but thank God for Consummo Herbs
