Update Dec. 2, 2016 On My Fight to Beat Alzheimer's

I have been remiss in updating my blog again. I am so sorry. I saw Vera Sacks at Groton Wellness again last November 1st and she made some tweaks to my detoxification regimen and health regimen. She changed some and deleted some things from the list to take. She also did some magnet therapy work. I will provide my full updated regimen from everybody later.

For the past seven months I have been hobbling around suffering from plantar fasciitis so I finally saw my podiatrist whom I hadn't seen since 2007. He said I had a small bone spur along with the plantar fasciitis. He recommended physical therapy so I started that about a week and a half ago. I also started seeing a reflexologist who also does ionic detoxification foot baths at Healing Place http://healingplacemedfield.com in Medfield, MA. I had two treatments there which were very good. I could see some more metals and other toxins expelled out from my feet. Then the reflexologist, Helen Chin Lui, manipulated the reflexology points in my feet doing all the systems. She used the American Standard so it wasn't as painful as the Chinese reflexology treatments. My plantar fasciitis has improved greatly.

This is picture of my ionic detox foot bath after 35 minutes.

Cognitively I am doing fine. I still do my Brain Age though not as religiously as I should. I really need to buckle down and restart my Mandarin lessons since I may actually have need of it in the near future. I still read a lot of science fiction novels. The fall 8-ball Senior league finished and my record was 18 and 20 and our team was near the bottom of the standings. I guess I need to practice some more. The better players might only miss once or twice in a game and they are excellent at playing safeties. Many times I would make a 6 or 7 ball run and lose the game because they could clear the table as easily as I or make a great safety.

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.

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.

I also had to stop the vitamin D and boron supplements. Take the #4,#6, #8 and #11 cell salts four times a day between meals.

Update July 6, 2016 On My Fight to Beat Alzheimer's

Update July 6, 2016

Its been a year since I started this blog. I have been lax in making blog entries again. I had two visits to Groton Wellness to see Vera Sacks and Irina Serebryakova, once on May 11 and again on June 28, 2016.

During my May visit Irina asked me to consider the benefits of amino acid therapy and gave me some info on it to read. I was already taking some amino acids at Vera's recommendation based on her exams before so I declined to do that therapy. She also showed me the Quicksilver detox therapy that I could try in lieu of or in conjunction with the Soluna therapy used by Vera. I didn't think I needed the Quicksilver mercury protocol since I had removed my mercury fillings a year earlier.

Vera had me switch to the Gemmotherapy instead of the Soluna therapy at the May visit. She prescribed Wine berry for bladder/intestines; Rosemary for liver and gall bladder; and Common Birch for detox of the kidney. I had been having problems getting anything from Soluna since it comes from Europe. I was still supposed to take Nux Vomica once per week, cell salts 4,6,8,11 three times daily, Rescue Remedy, L-tyrosine, L Glutamine, Zinc, manganese, Vitamin C, B6 and Selenium.

In the June 29, 2016 visit Irina gave me some things to test with Vera from Dr. Shade's Protocol for Mercury Removal – Level 2. I did not need his IMD or his Phosphatidyl Choline. What was needed was the Etheric Vitamin C w/R-LA. I had been taking the to much of the buffered sodium ascorbate which would give me diarrhea. This was liposomal so it absorbs in the mouth between cheek and gums.

Vera switched me back to the Soluna detox instead of the Gemmotherapy. I also was prescribed Matigen II by Soluna for hormone balance and also Pulmonic again for my lungs again. I also got Amalgatox for mercury detox and Ruta Gravelens (30C) for EMF radiation. She also recommended adding L-Glutathione for detox and HCL for digestion.

I will continue to add some links to my July 4, 2015 blog entry that comes to my attention from people like Tripp Micou. Thanks Tripp.

My sister in law told me that a new dentist out of Harvard Dental did not know that mercury amalgams were bad for people. They thought mercury from tuna was worse. I happened to find this link about mercury in tuna. https://www.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/mercury-in-tuna-calculation-summary.pdf

We shouldn't eat more than 1 serving of tuna per week since one serving has 60 mcg of mercury in albacore tuna. Using Dr. Huggins testing of mercury release from amalgam of 150 mcg per day I was getting the equivalent of 2.5 servings of tuna mercury per day from each filling. I had eight fillings at one time so that means I was getting the equivalent of 20 tuna servings of mercury per day for N decades. That is just to give any readers an idea about how much mercury they are getting every day from a mercury dental filling.

Update April 28, 2016 On My Fight to Beat Alzheimer's Too

There are a few things I have been doing the past couple of years which I should pass along since I believe they play a role in stopping my cognitive decline. One of the things my wife told me after my initial diagnosis was to “Stay positive.” She made sure I did this with daily affirmations which I changed a couple times to improve upon it. Here is what I do at 9 am which comes up on my iPhone. “I want my Alzheimer's to stop progressing. I believe it can. God and my guardian angels please help stop my Alzheimer's from progressing.

As you should know, exercise is supposed to be good for the brain to bring more blood flow to the brain. I used to go to aqua aerobics classes but I stopped that. I have some physical issues which make some things difficult. I have cervical kyphosis and spondylosis (neck reversed its curve and arthritis in my neck for all lay people) and 4 bulging discs. The neurologist said I should not do any impact sports, running or golf. That was a few years back and at a follow up last year after two years she confirmed it won't ever get better. Back then when I was in much pain and shots did not work, they sent me to the Arnold Pain Management Center part of Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital. They taught me to do transcendental meditation for fifteen minutes to relax my neck muscles and then the neck muscles could stretch again to keep my discs from rubbing against nerves. When they were too tight, I would sometimes get pins and needles pain in my face and sometimes my hands. I actually knew I was relaxing during meditation when I would feel the neck pain and pins and needles sensations in my hand but at least I was expecting it.

Now, the meditation that I do serve double duty. Meditation is supposed to help the brain grow back in size. http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2006/02/meditation-found-to-increase-brain-size/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/inspired-life/wp/2015/05/26/harvard-neuroscientist-meditation-not-only-reduces-stress-it-literally-changes-your-brain/

Another activity that I do due to my neck is “Spinal pumps” on the inversion table. http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/sport-injuries/low-back-pain/inversion-therapy http://teeter.com/Benefits-of-Inversion/ I invert upside down for 10 seconds and then go back up for 10 seconds and do this for ten minutes. Irina Serebryakova told me to do this for my neck since we had an inversion table at home for when I had back pain. Besides putting synovial fluid in between my discs in my neck and back, it puts a lot of blood flow into my brain. So if you can't do a lot of exercise, just try some inversion table spinal pumps. One of the other reasons I don't exercise much is that I have plantar fascitis in both feet, more so on my left foot. Thus, being on my feet for long periods of time walking can be painful.

I still have cognitive difficulties as I noticed at a wedding I attended recently. Nothing like seeing all my cousins and their kids and trying to remember their names. Most telling was when I saw the bride walking down the aisle with her father.  I couldn't remember his name. I could remember the occasion my cousin introduced him to me 40 years ago when they first started dating but I couldn't pull the name out. This is a guy who I went to their wedding, we would see on family functions and funerals and we would visit occasionally over the decades at his house. It took a couple minutes before his name popped into my head. I have noticed a decline in some Brain Age training scores sometimes. My current brain age was 45 years old. I was having trouble remembering the 25 numbers in the 5 by 5 grid. I did pretty well on the other 2 tests. I try not to do the brain age test too often so it won't become too familiar to me and I guess I shouldn't be doing it at 6 pm when I haven't taken my second batch of pills at late afternoon snack. I said I do better taking them at snack time instead of later at dinner time. I hope I do better next time but hey, I am 58 and have MCI so I should not complain.

I occasionally add a few links to my July 4, 2015 blog entry with a lot of research in it. I should go through my other entries and copy them into that entry if it isn't already there. I am sorry if I snuck them in without dating them or appending them but I try to put them near similar areas - videos with videos.

I have been going to the senior center a lot to shoot pool and socialize with the older seniors. I am getting better and can win a few games occasionally. I am able to converse and have fun again.

I saw Vera and Irina from Groton Wellness a few weeks ago. Not too much different in the treatment regimen. Irina did want me to consider trying Neurotransmitter therapy next time. She also said that they carry Dr. Chris Shade's treatment therapies from Quicksilver Scientific. It isn't possible to include the PDFs she sent me here. But there is similar information about his topic available online.

My cousin Edwin who gave me the kombucha scoby also gave me a tip on another method used for heavy metal detox, food grade diatomaceous earth. Because diatomaceous earth has 19% calcium I can't try it and would need to consult with Vera and Irina first. But you can check it out at http://diatomaceous.org.

Irina's information about Glutathione methylation collapse and Neurotransmitter therapy articles are “Relative nutritional deficiencies associated with centrally acting monoamines” by Marty Hinz, Alvin Stein and Thomas Uncini http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22615537 and an article named “16 Glutathione methylation collapse.pdf” Similar info are at these links:

Update Mar 8, 2015 in my Fight to Beat Alzheimer's

On Saturday, while I was still on 5 mg of donepezil I did a Brain Age 2 Test and came up with an age of 70. It was not a full test with 3 parts to it, just a quick one part test but it was kind of depressing. But it was at 6:30 pm and most of the donepezil would have worn off by then.

Well, today after being on Huperzine-A for three days I did better. I do feel sharper in the mornings and afternoon so I should try to take my pills at late afternoon snack time than at dinner time. At about 4:30 pm I did some training and since I was doing well I decided to do the test which this time did all three parts of the Brain Age 2 test and came up with a brain age of 37. This isn't a big neurological test but it is something I am trying to use to gauge my sharpness which I have been using the last few years. It has never been this low. We shall see how things go in the future. 

Update Mar 2, 2016 on My Fight to Beat Alzheimer's

Well, I tried weaning myself off donepezil by doing only 5 mg per day for 2.5 weeks. My estimation of my cognitive functioning seems erratic. Sometimes OK, sometimes not so well. Then I went onto using Huperzine-A. I noticed some regression where I couldn't plan and make lunch properly.

On Sunday, I had discussed the lunch menu with my wife of making curried turkey with onions and broccoli on basmati rice which I have made many times before. I started getting many of the ingredients together and started opening the ground turkey when my wife came down and saw that I hadn't gotten the onions and cut it up yet which needs to be cooked before the ground turkey. So she helped by cutting up the onions. Then she asked me about the broccoli which I hadn't gotten from the freezer yet either which needed to be done before the meats. We started cooking and then she looked around and noticed that I hadn't started the rice which should have been the first thing I started since that takes the longest, causing us to wait for lunch until the rice was done.

All this caused be to think about my huperzine so I checked my bottles which were from a long time ago when I had wanted to try it out after noticing some cognitive decline. I had started using it in 2011 and then upon more research I stopped because my research said I shouldn't be using it if I had fronto temporal dementia or may be on sertraline anti-depressants. That was after the doctors at McLean hospital diagnosed me as depressed and I thought there was a possibility of Pick's disease (from my PET scan report) and Alzheimer's wasn't even in the picture. So I stopped taking Huperzine back then. Now I had these three bottles of Huperzine-A and wanted to try them out now without looking for an expiration date. They were manufactured 4/2011 and research shows they have a shelf life of about two years if kept in a cool place. So I had to order some and go back on donepezil in the mean time.

For an examples of cognitive issues on 5 mg donepezil (half dose), on Tuesday, I made coconut macaroons and then tried to make a pumpkin pie. Both of those I have made many times before. The macaroons were fine. A simple recipe. The pumpkin pie I messed up because I had turned on the oven to preheat and it beeped and I wasn't done prepping the filling. I rushed and I forgot the evaporated milk in the filling. It was pretty thick and didn't look right pouring it in but I ignored it because the oven was ready and I was using canned pumpkin instead of my usual cooked frozen pumpkin that I had saved from Halloween. Its edible but not the same. This was when I was on 5 mg of donepezil taken 3 hours earlier. So you can see that at 5 mg my cognitive functioning is still spotty.

Regarding the neurologist's recommendation to do more socialization I went to the senior center to socialize with more seniors. I played billiards with someone on Monday and won three games and went to a billiards tournament on Tuesday afternoon to forget my baking mistake. Things went well at the tournament socially. Not so well playing wise. In the practice game I got one ball in and during the tournament I did better but I lost both games in the first round. I think I need some more practice though there was talk about me joining a Holliston billiards team.

I will update next time when my shipment of Huperzine-A arrives and I try that for a week.

Update to My Fight to Beat Alzheimer's - Weaning off donepezil

I wanted to provide an update on what has transpired since my last entry. My neurologist said I could continue the donepezil until my next 6 month visit before discussing tapering off. But he was also okay with my tapering off the donepezil over a two week period going with a ½ pill or 5 mg daily. He didn't know anything about Huperzine-A from my list of naturopathic and homeopathic remedies books which I gave him. These were Dr. Mark Stengler's “Natural Healing Encyclopedia”, Jenny Thompson's “Miracles from the Vault – Underground Cures” and Peggy Sarlin's “Awakening from Alzheimer's” that recommended the use of 200 mcg Huperzine-A (club moss) which is also a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor without the higher number of potential side effects that donepezil represents. It is recommended at 1-2 times daily (best at twice daily).

I have been on the half dose of donepezil for about 10 days but will continue until the end of my pill box runs out so after about 2.5 weeks I will go off donepezil completely and switch to Huperzine-A. I also removed the sage from my supplements list since I am trying to cut down on those cognitive supplements and I needed to make room for the Hyal-Joint (Hyaluronic acid) for my neck and frozen left shoulder which developed after a shoulder injury in November.  To date I have been doing fine or the same most of the time.  I did fine on Brain Age 2 training 40 minutes ago and it is now 9:38 pm as I am writing this entry.

Update 1_27_16 in my Fight to Beat Alzheimer's - From Younger Onset Alzheimer's down to Mild Cognitive Impairment

I just wanted to let you know what transpired at my doctor’s appointment at Massachusetts General Hospital on Monday. Dr. Perez told me that the MRI showed that the generalized brain parenchymal volume loss had not changed significantly and thus had not gotten worse from the previous MRIs. He did a quick neuropsych test and I scored a 28 out of 30 so it is in the normal range. That is an improvement over the score of 25 out of 30 which I received last July in the below normal range which had already been an improvement over 2014 since I had shown that most of my aphasia was gone (four months after amalgam removal). Thus, he believes I no longer have Alzheimer’s which is a progressive disease and I only have Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) now. He wants me to do more social things to get out and talk to people now.

I gave him reports about mercury fillings causing Alzheimer's and 40 other diseases and he said he would try to keep an open mind but he didn't spend much time looking at the stacks of papers I printed out or the CD's with dozens of documents from my blog. Well, maybe he may look at some of them someday.

Today, I saw my homeopathic practitioner, Vera Sacks, and after hearing the good news she said I should consider having a conversation with the doctor about weaning off the donepezil and switching out the 10 mg donepezil hydrochloride prescription for 200 mcg of Huperzine A once or twice per day. I had this in my initial strategy and plan since at least three of my books, Dr. Mark Stengler's “Natural Healing Encyclopedia”, Jenny Thompson's “Miracles from the Vault – Underground Cures” and Peggy Sarlin's “Awakening from Alzheimer's” recommend the use of Huperzine A which is also a reversible acetylcholinesterase inhibitor without the higher number of potential side effects that donepezil represents.

Vera also did some more testing and updated my drops, adding some and removing some others. I think with some more mercury detox and stay with a few supplements I can get rid of the MCI. I also received another intravenous drip of 800 mg Alpha-lipoic acid today to build up my glutathione levels too.

Here is the updated list:

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.

Vera prescribed the following to help balance my bodies minerals since they were out of balance. She recommended I stop the multivitamin which contained calcium and too many other things which was antagonistic to increasing some minerals in which I was low. I also had to stop the vitamin D and boron supplements. Take the 4,6,and 8 four times a day between meals.

At breakfast, I would try to mix 1 TB of coconut oil into my cereal or rice. I would do so again sometimes at afternoon snack or dinner to get medium chain triglycerides (MCT) to allow brain to use ketones instead of glucose for metabolic functions as according to “Stop Alzheimers Now” by Bruce Fife and “Awakening From Alzheimers” by Peggy Sarlin (5) 11/2014

Update 1_20_16 in Fight to Beat Alzheimers and Notes from "Miracles From The Vault - Anthology of Underground Cures" by Jenny Thompson

It has been far too long since I made an update. I should do so more often but things happen and apathy sometimes sets in when things get tough. I was amazed I was able to whip the other one off after my allergist's appointment since there had been so much going on at that time. We had my father in laws funeral a few days earlier over the weekend in New York City. That same weekend, Sunday night after we got back home we took my son to the hospital because he had been sick at school for over a week. It turned out he had pneumonia in one lung. Top it off it was finals week so he was going to miss that week trying to recover at home.

My son recovered fine from that though after more Christmas drama which I won't go into detail he had his wisdom teeth out and had to recover from that as well. My attempts to do play piano and sing, learn to speak Mandarin and read a programming book did not fare too well. For a while I did well at playing the piano and singing but when my son came home that ended since I did not want to subject them to my horrendous cracked voice. It was also hard to keep up the Chinese but I put it on my phone so I will try to continue the lessons on the computer or by phone with headset in a quite room so I won't disturb anyone. When my son returns back to school I will try to keep to a schedule again.

Reading the programming book was replaced by my Mom giving me a couple of other big thick books to read. Dr. Mark Stengler's “Natural Healing Encyclopedia” and Jenny Thompson's “Miracles from the Vault – Anthology of Underground Cures”. I took some notes of Dr. Stengler's book and then thought I should take better notes on the second one so I might pass them on. I passed the notes onto my relatives and friends and I will add them later to this blog post. I think it was 8 pages of PDF. I will read the first book again and add to the notes and post my synopsis in a future blog.

On December 17, 2015 about 3 days after I saw my allergist I saw Vera Sacks at Groton Wellness for a follow up. Now the allergist's recommendation was to try an “experiment” of using the inhalers and coming back for another test in a month's time. His machine's report indicated that not much improvement could be expected since I had taken some Pro Air and Q Var and another test in his office without too much improvement. Vera said that she could not tell me not to take it but that we have been trying to take out the toxins out of me and go natural. I was also suffering some sort of cold and occasional cough which I and my allergist knew about. Vera said it is better not to do the inhaler's since there are all kinds of things in the propellant as well as the medicines were toxic corticosteroids anyway. I did check and there were some propellant HFA-134a and ethanol QVA PL-001 stuff in the QVAR instead of the banned CFC's that used to be in the QVAR that I had taken a couple years ago. She prescribed an Nr. 7 Epidemik tincture and a Nr. 15 Pulmonik tincture European Biologic Medicine to help my lung function to attempt to cure the problem and improve the lungs.

Not long after, about 12/23, I caught a nasty virus that gave me fevers for 8 days and lots more hacking up of some yellow/green phlegm followed by a couple weeks of clear phlegm. I stopped a lot of Vera's program during that time and only started back on it after the fevers and yellow phlegm stopped.

 Vera also looked at my blog entry and saw that I was taking Irina's cleansing tincture as well and said I should not be taking that since the Soluna Detoxification program tinctures was doing that and that hers would interfere with the whole body approach that Soluna's was doing. She also tested me and looked at the hair results so we got rid of the Multivitamin and took only some of the vitamins separately since the multivitamin was contributing to the calcium retention. So I am detailing the tincture and pills taken again since some things were added and others removed.

Yes, all these pills fill up the pill boxes and another box for the drops and Vitamin C. Sometimes I forget to take something but I try my best if I can remember it. I am also planning to take some Hyal-Joint for my neck and shoulder. In November 2015 I did something to my shoulder. I don't know if it was bursitis or rotator cuff tendonitis but it hurt moving so I tried to rest it. This past week I finally saw my chiropractor and he said I might have had bursitis or tendonitis but it is now a frozen shoulder and I need some PT and heat and/or massage to get it moving again. I have done that and it seems to be moving more but at some points it is still giving me pain so I thought since Hyal-Joint works great for my parents to increase their synovial fluid around their joints it might help me with my shoulder and bulging disks in my neck.

 Here are the notes from one of the books I read. I know that since there are 632 scientific studies linking mercury to cancer some of the cancer things might be useful to some readers. This book has a lot of good information in it about a lot of things. Lots of in depth information about the herbs and why and how they work, case studies and results of formal studies and where to get the products. I condensed the 563 pages to these 8 pages.
