Blog for Gary

Gary and I have been married a happy twenty eight years.  We have always lived by the motto, "You know when you know you know and you know when you know you don't know.  If you don't know, the answer is NO, if you do know, the answer is GO."  Those words have served us well.


We have lived in many places:  Virginia (met, married and lived x2), Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, Florida, Nassau Bahamas, Georgia, California (Fremont, Pittsburg, Lafayette, Elk Grove)....and we have a retirement home in the country of Panama.  During all those years we have traveled so many places I have lost track.  We experienced many incredible adventures but now we are on the greatest adventure of our lives.  Gary was diagnosed in April of 2013 with Dementia.  My sense of life so far is that it will be the greatest, most emotionally moving and challenging adventure ever in our lives. 


The purpose of this blog is to share stories, jokes and life events to help others.  For those who love him and are not around, it might help them with his transition.  For those who may be experiencing this dreadful disease themselves or in their families, my hope is it will help them heal.  Dementia can be hell, I am choosing to view it as an adventure.  I have no choice or I will go crazy.  I wish the disease on no one.  This blog is intended to share our love and how we cope and that is all.

  6. Alzheimer's illness is common in my family, I have been stressed at work for at least 16years suffered depression my thoughts were blocked. So I knew the need to keep a watch on it, that was when I began to walk several times a week, 2 miles a day and realized that was a positive thing, but it got to a point my whole body started getting weaker, I needed some help. I started up training, the trainer came to my hometown 5 times a week and he told me that would be able to help me. I agreed with him and was happy I finally found solution not until I woke up one day and couldn't walk. Tried out so many medications and diet but none of them was able to help me. In the process I knew about ZOMO, an herbal medicine for Alzheimer's disease, I followed the blog address shared; I curiously contacted him and got ZOMO. I didn’t want to be disabled at my old age, and was so hungry for more healthy days on earth. My recovery involved both medicine and diet. I never had any complications I experienced while on English medications why using ZOMO. You may contact Dr. Charanjit via his email. charantova@gmail.com or visit his blog via curetoalzheimer.blogspot.com

  7. DOES HERBS WORK FOR DEMENTIA?

    This was the same question that prompted me to read further a testimony I saw on a blog. I would like to tell a story - hoping it will be useful to others - of my struggles and achievements with Dementia. I was diagnosed a little over 4 years ago, No doctors I met have any treatment or even suggestions apart western medications. I even sought advice on Youtube, to no avail. After using the conventional approach to medication treatment without improvement. I am glad something happens fast. There have been suicides due to people not being able to continue on living with the endless memory challenges. It is horrible. I learned about Dr. charanjit herbal medicine that works effectively for me without any negative effects. I have returned back to my normal life and I hope that the symptoms do not return again, It really helped me! If you have Dementia kindly contact Dr. Charanjit for help and necessary solution (charantova@gmail.com)
