Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Jim I wasn't aware Aricept was a " wear down " drug. Thanks for the heads up on that. It's a good thing to know. All research shows again, use it or lose it, so the bridge playing has to be a plus for Peg. Haven't had time to dig out my mega nutrition books yet but will still do it to look for anything else on calcium that might have been overlooked. The 7 year old and 3 month old are keeping me on a dead run for now. It takes longer to regroup myself than it used to. :>) Must be getting old!!

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 Hi Jim, don't know how much calcium is in it but I used to give Leo Two Cal HN. It's like formula almost and has 475 calories in 8oz. But it has 85 grams of protien per liter. There are lots of products out there but it's hard to find a new one when they dion't make the one you like anymore.
