Update Jan. 12, 2017 On My Fight to Beat Alzheimer's

I have been remiss in updating my blog again. I am so sorry, I wanted to wait until I had enough to say. I saw Vera Sacks at Groton Wellness again December 13, 2016 and she made some tweaks to my regimen. She changed some and deleted some things from the list to take. I stopped the Soluna detoxification program and started doing Gemmotherapy for heart issues. I guess calcium maybe causing problems again. I will provide my full updated regimen from everybody later.

I completed my physical therapy for my plantar fasciitis. I am at about 85% recovered and need to continue to do the PT myself. I also stopped seeing Helen Lui the reflexologist after five treatments. Both were helpful in treating my plantar fasciitis.

Cognitively I am still doing fine. I am still doing Brain Age, reading and doing the occasional Mandarin lesson though my son says my pronunciation isn't quite right. I've managed to win a 9 ball tournament and came in 2nd in an 8 ball tournament.

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 Serebryakova 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.
  1. Vera Sacks prescribed the following (as part of 2 times per day, upon rising, early evening at least 30 minutes before 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

After almost finishing breakfast where that I would take my morning supplements:
