Three years ago, my daughter (step-daughter actually) gave birth to our first grandchild. I was committed to being as good a grandparent as mine had been to me. The impact they had on my life has been passed to my children and now I would have the opportunity to share it with my granddaughter. Thus extending the life of my grandparents.
A funny thing happened over the next three years. My symptoms appeared, I was diagnosed,
and my millisecond became a nanosecond. How can I crush the generations of wisdom that my grandparents had passed to me into such a short time? The answer will inevitably be that I can't.
So I've been trying to think of the one single thing that my grandparents taught me that I must pass on. Something that has been an absolute pearl of wisdom that can only come from the mature understanding that age begets. I think I have it! It's simplicity is its strength. Whether used literally or metaphorically it is spot on. Every time!
Drum roll please........
"MEASURE TWICE, CUT ONCE!"
Pure genius!
I would give anything (except for the life I have today) if I could go back and measure again.
ReplyDeleteWho is telling you that there IS no treatment for CBD? It is more truthful to say that there probably IS a treatment, but it just hasn't been identified and proven yet.
ReplyDeleteAs Dr. Bradley Boeve says in his article, "Update on Corticobasal Degeneration" (c. 2000) "...abnormalities in tau protein are now thought to be the critical factor in the pathogenesis of CBD. Interestingly, tau dysfunction also is critical in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, Pick’s disease, and progressive supranuclear palsy.It is highly possible that a treatment for one of these disorders involving tau processing will be beneficial for some or all of the others"

That was written almost 10 years ago. Fast-forward to 2008: "Vitamin B3 Reduces Alzheimer's Symptoms, Lesions: Clinical Trial On Nicotinamide Effect In Alzheimer's Patients
ScienceDaily" (Nov. 5, 2008) "...
Nicotinamide, a form of vitamin B3, lowered levels of a protein called phosphorylated tau that leads to the development of tangles, one of two brain lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease. The vitamin also strengthened scaffolding along which information travels in brain cells, helping to keep neurons alive and further preventing symptoms in mice genetically wired to develop Alzheimer's... Scientists also found that the nicotinamide-treated animals had dramatically lower levels of the tau protein that leads to the Alzheimer's tangle lesion..."

Print out that article, take it to your neurologist, and ask them, "Here is an article about a substance that might attack the tau protein corruption problem of CBD. Are there any others?" If they don't know, then tell them to look into methylene blue, cinnamon proanthocyanidins, and lithium.
Also, ask if brain cells of people with CBD suffer from a problem with glucose metabolism, the so-called "chronic brain starvation" or "type 3 diabetes". They should tell you that, yes, indeed, this is a problem. Then ask them about getting a prescription for Axona or about taking medium chain triglycerides.
Thanks Anon. I'll ask the questions at my next appointment.

ReplyDeleteMy husband has CBD. He took Vit B3 all his adult life and is now in the late stages of his dreadful disease. Four years ago he walked with a cane, fast forward to today...he is bed ridden and wheelchair dependent. He can no longer dress, feed, talk or clean himself. He is totally dependent on me. Since the article was written in 2000, and it is now 2013, this is proof that a cure has not be found, nor can it be slowed down. The only thing the doctors can do at this point (or even at the beginning) is treat the symptoms.
ReplyDeleteThis is your daughter....and I know you can't read this, but I'm commenting anyway. I miss you SO much, I can't even say and your words of wisdom, along with everything you taught me, will not be taken for granted. I love you.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter (Annabel) suffered schizophrenia for 5 years. I had no idea what was happening and didn’t know where to turn for help. It was hard then because I really didn’t understand the symptoms earlier until she was diagnosed. There was a time she decided to get away from everyone, I was not excluded. I had to sit and cry almost every day because I felt helpless as a single mother (she is all I have got). The anguish I went through taking care of her alone is beyond explanation because there was no support whatsoever from the dad or family members. I fought for proper medical care and humane treatment; I did everything within my reach to get her cured but all to no avail. Countless different medications was prescribed (Zyprexa, fluphenazine, Risperdal, quetiapine, etc.) that she was taking but all we could get was myriad of side effects such as rigidity, drowsiness, dizziness, tremors and restlessness which tends to worsen the already damaged situation. Frustration was the order of the day. I wrote a couple of messages to Ontario Mental Health Foundation for help because watching my daughter go through such was devastating. It was at this foundation someone shared a testimony about DR Sunday herbal medicine, how effective it is and how she went through the most difficult times of her life trying to help her mom fight Schizophrenia. Being that I was already at the verge of giving up because I just couldn't imagine waking up every morning to fight the same demons that left me so tired the night before. I had to contact the doctor,on his email (drsundayherbalcenter@gmail.com) from our conversations; I was relieved and convinced that the result is going to be positive because I was made to contact people with worse cases. Today, the awful situation of my daughter has gone by. Her happy life is back. She is now a schizophrenia survivor and I am glad because my daily routine activities can now kick off without obstructions. Don't let Schizophrenia hinder you from living a desired life and also, never allow anyone to decide for you especially when they don't know what you have to go through to get to where you are. I was almost discouraged by the doctor but then, I remembered that: I have to shield my daughter’s destiny with courage, faith and perseverance because she is not in her right state of mind and that the bravery and freedom from fear is found in the ‘doing’. Her life is now a testimony. After my daughter got cured,from the herbal mix medicine Dr Sunday prepared and sent to me, she said, Mom “I just thought, ‘Well, I’m a weirdo, I’ll never be normal, then I said, my daughter, life itself is a misery and we get stronger in the places we have been broken. Thanks to you Dr. Sunday for your excellent counseling, no more psychotic symptoms for the past 3 years and 4 months now. To know more about Dr.Sunday and the effectiveness of his Herbs and roots extracts and he said he got cures for diseases like Bipolar,DIABETES, HPV,SHINGLES,CANCER, ALS, HEPATITIS B, KIDNEY DISEASE, HERPES, Ovarian Cancer,Pancreatic cancers, Bladder cancer,Skin cancer, Prostate cancer, Glaucoma., Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Autism,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease,psoriasis ,Tach Diseases,Lupus,Dementia.kidney cancer, lung cancer,. You can reach him on his Email at ... drsundayherbalcenter@gmail.com. I believe you will testify just like me.
