So, why should you care about a skin allergy?
Being on call for 12 hours a day to answer questions about creating Perfect Health, Naturally, you would think I would have heard it all—right? Oddly enough, the question is basically the same in 90% of the calls:
“Why does my (dog/cat/horse/bunny/son/daughter/etc) have this or that skin problem?”
Even though the species and symptoms may vary, the solution is always basically the same:
1. Stop putting the bad stuff in,
2. Start taking the bad stuff back out, and,
3. Begin putting the good stuff in.
Step one has to do with toxins. Currently our environment is unbelievably inundated with both organic and heavy metal toxins. It is EVERYWHERE, in the air, in our water, and more and more in our foods through intentionally corrupted fertilizers (By the way, EPA: big business really appreciates your caving in to them on that one. Your check is in the mail …) I am told by experts that I trust that these are responsible for at least 95% of a skin allergy
Given that we don’t have much control over those (unless we can raise enough money to buy a government that will work for US) we must be particularly careful about the toxins of choice. That means that you must take responsibility to learn what those are. Fortunately, my friend Judy Sinner wrote a wonderfully complete article that will educate those who want to know. It is now posted online at:

It is so complete that we considered publishing it as an e-book and selling it online. Fearing that doing so may prevent those who need it most from getting it, we decided to give it away for free. Hopefully YOU will take advantage of it.
Step two used to be very difficult. It has gotten MUCH easier lately. In about 1976 a processing method was invented for a zeolite formation that solves the heavy metal problem that most of us face. Problem is, it interfered with a very lucrative, albeit ineffective disease management industry that I dare not mention here, so it was “pushed under the carpet.) It took the power of a well-established network marketing company to bring it to the surface. I am not going to say what it is here, but the referenced articles do mention it, and will guide you to it, if you like.
Step three would seem to be easy. Sorry to disappoint. Even organically grown fruits and vegetables don’t have enough nutrition to sustain perfect health, and most of those nutritional supplements being sold in all the big-name stores are low in useable nutrition, and are high in toxins. We have had to search far and wide to find sources that we consider reliable and high-quality enough to put in our own bodies, and the bodies of our animal friends. I will quickly mention three of the more important companies that we are satisfied with. These are: Dynamite; Wachters; Waiora. Enough on those for now – they are mentioned in the articles that you will certainly go read now — RIGHT?

Would it help if I reminded you that it isn’t just a skin allergy, but life itself very likely depends upon it?

As our nation increasingly ages, there is growing interest – individual, corporate, and political – in diseases and medical care for them. As time inevitably moves forward, greater focus will certainly be committed to the specifics of various physical problems, mental limitations and conditions that constrain lifestyles and capabilities. Among the more frightening is Alzheimer’s Disease.

Early identification of possible Alzheimer’s symptoms can drastically improve the quality of life and even decrease mortality rates for patients diagnosed with the disease.

For example, a diagnosis at age 65 can increase the average life expectancy for men by 15 years and up to 19 years for women. Therefore, early intervention is critical and will provide long-lasting benefits.

For more information on diagnosing and understanding Alzheimer’s, along with information on its symptoms, read on.

How Alzheimer’s Disease is Diagnosed

There is no known cure for Alzheimer’s disease. It is believed to affect close to four million Americans. However, there are theories that as many as 40 percent of those patients have been misdiagnosed and instead suffer from other types of senile dementia associated with aging.

Alzheimer’s Disease is considered to be a progressive degenerative disease. This means it is constantly progressing as it attacks the brain. The effects of Alzheimer’s include memory loss, reduced brain function, physical breakdown and a general loss of social and emotional skills.

Alzheimer’s disease is very common and is considered to be the leading form of senile dementia, particularly in adults beyond 85.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Common Symptoms

Alzheimer’s symptoms vary. However, they typically include chronic depression, forgetfulness, bouts of fatigue, poor dietary decisions, disorientation and possibly even paranoid or aggressive behavior.

However, a diagnosis of symptoms is never definitive while the person suffering the effects is alive, and a surefire diagnosis can only be obtained through a postmortem autopsy of the brain. Because of this, many instances of other forms of senile dementia are often incorrectly determined to be Alzheimer’s even when they are not.

Understanding the Differences of Alzheimer’s vs. Other Dementia Forms

The symptoms of many forms of senile dementia are frequently very similar to the symptoms typically associated with Alzheimer’s. Therefore, it’s important that medical professionals eliminate alternative or other possible diagnoses.

For example, even certain types of toxic reactions – for example to food, alcohol or environmental triggers like carbon monoxide, aluminum and diesel fumes – can cause symptoms of dementia. Identifying and removing those possible underlying root causes could help to improve the onset of the disease.

Treating Alzheimer’s Disease

Nutritional supplements have actually proven to be very effective in treating Alzheimer’s and other types of senile dementia. For example, patients who are given daily supplements of coenzyme Q10, iron and B6 have been shown to experience a visible improvement in their normal, daily mental function. Other supplements that have been validated as effective include selenium, zinc and even primrose oil.

How to Approach Suspected Alzheimer’s

If you notice that a loved one is exhibiting one or several Alzheimer’s symptoms, you should have that individual speak with a health professional sooner rather than later. Early diagnosis is critical to the patient’s long-term well-being.

Activities for people with Alzheimer

Alzheimer’s is one disease that people dread to be diagnosed with. Who can blame them?

It is one of the most debilitating disease known to man and it affects not only one area or one system but all. Of course, since it is a progressive disease, effects on the various systems of the body does not happen at one time.

As the disease progress, the effects become wide-range.

Alzheimer’s disease is perhaps the best-known disease under Dementia, a disorder that affects the mental processes. It is characterized by the progressive loss of memory that may lead to inattentions and inability to focus at a task, language problems and behavioral changes.

Neurology is a medical specialty that helps to treat disorders of the nervous system. Neurological disorders are disorders that impact the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), the peripheral nervous system, or the autonomic nervous system. Neurologists have an array of conditions they can assist in treating spanning from from Movement disorders like Parkinson’s to more psychological disorders like Alzheimer’s.

Movement Disorders Atlanta

The Neurological Surgery team at Emory is among the nation’s leading departments for neurosurgical patient care, teaching, and research. The Emory Neurology Surgery team deals with conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nerves. Specifically disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system, brain, meninges, skull and blood supply; disorders of the pituitary gland; disorders of the spine and spinal cord; and disorders of the cranial and spinal nerves are treated. Emory distinguishes itself from other neurosurgery facilities because Emory is among the regional leaders in regard to the number of brain aneurysms and vascular malformations of the brain and spinal cord it treats annually. In addition Emory has the only neurocritical care unit for critically ill patients with cerebrovascular disorders.

Parkinson’s Treatment at Emory

The department of Neurology at Emory oversees the Movement Disorders Clinic. Movement disorders are conditions caused by problems in the brain that affect a person’s ability to move. There are two drastically different types of movement disorders; those disorders that cause too much movement, and those disorders that cause too little movement. A well known movement disorders results from Parkinson’s Disease. The Emory Movement Disorder clinic helps adults who suffer from this debilitating disease but also work with adults who suffer from dystonia, essential tremor, Huntington’s Disease, and Tourette’s syndrome. The center provides comprehensive services spanning from from diagnosis to rehabilitation.

In addition to the Movement Disorders Clinic, Emory also has The Alzheimer’s Disease Center and Cognitive Behavioral Neurology program which offers state-of-the art and comprehensive education, evaluation, treatment, diagnosis, and support for patients with dementia and their families. Dementia caused by Alzheimer’s can result in lasting confusion or cognitive impairment. Symptoms usually include at least one or more of the following: memory loss; difficulty with skilled motor tasks; impaired judgment and reasoning; loss of motivation, planning ability and organizational skills; problems with calculations and behavioral problems, including paranoia, and agitation.
