Alzheimer's

[Guest guest]

She runs a clinic in Colorado, I have her info at the office and can get you

more details tomorrow. She is a developmental psychiatrist and our Regional

Center brings her out to California every once in a while. I wish she was

closer, I'd love to have her take a look at my kids. It seems like they are

all getting mental health problems in the early 20's. Our mental health dept.

is awful here, all they say is " that's down syndrome " and send me on my way,

when I know better, but finding proper help is almost impossible. I don't

know if they (the kids) are imitating each other or it's our water or what...

but the OCD stuff is making me NUTS :-).

Hi Judith -

Do you know where we can get more information on Ruth and her work?

This all sounds very interesting.

Thanks,

Good news, I just came back from a conference by Ruth , (a fantastic

authority on the subject) of dual diag... (developmental disability and

mental health) She made it very clear that there is NO EVIDENCE and is

totally a myth that down children are at higher risk for Alzheimer's. I was

so surprised to hear this and very relieved.

She also said only 12% of communication is verbal so it makes very little

difference if a child is non-verbal in the total scope of things. Ruth also

said IQ scores and mental age have no significance in what a child's

potential will be and educators need to get their heads out of their you

know

whats.

Go Ruth...

Hi Judy, do you know if she has published any books on the subject? Did she

discuss what really influences a child's potential since educators are so hooked

on the testing results as an indicator? cheri

Here is the info I promised on Ruth .

Her clinic is called " The Community Circle "

1556 St., Denver Colorado 80218

303-316-8794

Her book is called " Real Eyes " by Diverse City Press

Wouldn't you know all this talk of kids getting lost and today only one of my

kids gets off the bus instead of two. Of course we had a sub. who blamed it

on the teacher. Sara was missing from 3 to 5 pm. They took her to a Chinese

lady's house thinking she was Chinese (not ds) and the lady took her in.

Talk about funny and weird. My husband didn't think it too funny and held

the bus driver hostage until Sara was returned to us. I'm ready for a nap

but will wait for Boston Public..love that show...it's worse there than my

house. Misery loves company.

My husband made it pretty clear they were handling " special cargo " the viens

were sticking out in his neck...I think they knew he was really upset. I

take it more lightly..it happens at least once a year...the odds are greater

when you have 5 in special ed. The bus company said Sara should have spoken

up...Yeah right...too bad she can't talk. I don't think she would have

minded staying with another family, some days I feel like we're a hotel and

she's just a guest..checking in and out.

Judy, you are kidding, right? Where do you live? Man, I thought we had

trouble with our bussing! What if she had been abused at that house? My

husband takes things lighter, like you. Me, well, my veins have popped out a

few times, like your dh's!!! LOL I don't get angry over mistakes, just

ignorance. LOL And boy oh boy, there are some ignorant people out there

that are responsible for our kids! LOL

[Guest guest]

That is about the most awful thing I have ever heard...they thought she was

Chinese???? What was the " Chinese " woman thinking....I'm not sure who was

more ignorant, she or the bus driver....

I would not take this lightly...they need to know just how big of a mistake

they made!

Thank you for the link. Very interesting. I am amazed that the paper did not

distinquish between the different forms of vitamin E. Many studies have been

done with the artificial vitamin E (because it is so cheap) and getting very bad

results nut many clinical trials with specific forms of natural Vitmain E or a

combination of all 8 forms have been getting better results in many studies.

Many studies in the past are being redone with the natural Vitamin E.

Make sure you know your vitamin E forms when taking a multi-vitamin or any

supplement.

And enough with this Vegan/Vegetarian! You are not going to win me or my

family. My family grew up during the depression. We ate everything we grew and

raised. My Aunte lived to 101. My Uncle is a pastor and still going at 93. No

to mention the fact that we all lived through the Three Mile Island " thing " . So

according to your resonding.... We should be dead before we hit 40??? Ha

I'm not aware of anyone who's had any demonstrable success training Alzheimers.  It is a physiological destruction of the ability to get signals across the synapses.  Speeding up or slowing down the EEG doesn't seem to have any effect in the cases I've tried or heard of.

How to Dance in the Rain

It was a busy morning, about 8:30 , when an elderly

gentleman in his 80s arrived to have stitches removed from his

thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00

am .

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would

be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw

him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with

another patient, I

would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well

healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed

supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another

doctor's  appointment this

morning, as he was in such a hurry.

The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home

to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.

He told me that she had been there

for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.

He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not

recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning,

even though she doesn't know who you are?'

He smiled

as he patted my hand and said,

'She doesn't know me,  

but I still know who she is.'

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm,

and thought,

'That is the kind of love

I want in my life.'

True love is neither

physical, nor romantic.

True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and

will not be.

With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there

is one that

comes along that has an important message. This one I

thought

I could share with you.

 

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything;

they just make the best

of everything they have.  

I hope you share this with someone you care about.

I just did.  

'Life isn't about how to survive the storm,

but how to dance in the rain.

The Canadian government is waging war against Alzheimer's to develop more

effective strategies.

__________

" The Harper Government is taking action to turn the tide of Alzheimer's disease

in Canada, " said Minister Aglukkaq. " We need to better understand this disease

so we can develop effective strategies for its prevention, early diagnosis and

treatment. The funding announced will support 44 research projects approved by

the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to be carried out by researchers

across Canada. The projects were approved through a competitive process of peer

review. Minister Fantino also announced a contribution of $160,000 to the

Alzheimer Society of Canada to support the 26th International Alzheimer Disease

Conference to be held on March 26-29, 2011 in Toronto, Ontario. "

CANADA'S BIG INVESTMENT IN CANCER CARE INCREASES BUDGET

" B.C.'s investment in cancer care and control has increased substantially in the

last few years. The overall drug budget for the BC Cancer Agency increased from

$37.5 million in 2000/01 to more than $114 million in the most recent fiscal

year. In 2007, an estimated 493 British Columbians were diagnosed with leukemia

and 326 died of it. One in 99 females and one in 71 males is expected to

develop leukemia during their lifetime. One in 152 females and one in 100 males

is expected to die of leukemia.

" The BC Cancer Agency, an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority, is

committed to reducing the incidence of cancer, reducing the mortality from

cancer, and improving the quality of life of those living with cancer. It

provides a comprehensive cancer control program for the people of British

Columbia by working with community partners to deliver a range of oncology

services, including prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment,

research, education, supportive care, rehabilitation and palliative care. The BC

Cancer Foundation raises funds to support research and enhancements to patient

care at the BC Cancer Agency. "
