Update Sept 2, 2016 On My Fight To Beat Alzheimer's

Since my last blog entry I saw my neurologist, Dr. Perez and saw Vera  Sacks again. At my neurologist appointment in late July at Massachusetts General there was not much change in my cognitive and memory function. I thought I might have missed more answers than previously but it was about the same. Since I was not on any medical prescriptions we set an annual appointment schedule instead of every six months.

At my appointment with Vera Sacks on August 30 she didn't see much metal issues but she did see some bacterial parasite issues which probably caused my cold/flu symptoms these past three weeks. She did some magnet therapy and did some more diagnosis and recommended some supplement changes.

I started in the fall travel pool league. I won one game, the third one, when I was able to have complete focus but I lost the other three. Two could easily have gone either way but the last one I got beat soundly. Most of the team did the same as me so maybe it was due to them just being better than us than my not being able to focus fully. In my last match my opponent ran the table before missing on his last ball and then I missed on my turn. Needless to say I didn't get another shot that game. But it was fun and we all got to socialize and practice mental focus.

My driving is still fine. I picked up a teammate and drove 30 minutes to a town called Norwood. Next week is against last year's league champs with four exceptional players. Hopefully our team does better, though I have seen them beat players without giving them a chance to shoot.

Here is the updated med and supplements list. There were some changes to the amino acids and drops.

Current meds and supplements recommended by medical doctors, Vera Sacks and Irina Serebyakova both of Groton Wellness, “Hal Huggins Assist Report” and “Prescriptions for Nutritional Healing” by James F Balch M.D.and Phyllis A Balch C.N.C and various other sources, Dr. Perez and Dr. Rapa.
