My Father has always been a practical man… his foresight often was a thing to behold albeit I never recognized it as soon as I wish I would have…
…Here was a man, my Father, with a grade six education who recognized things that certainly in hindsight were quite remarkable… I remember my older brother about to graduate high school in about 1980 wondering what might be the career path to choose and a university path he should choose and I vaguely remember my father suggesting computers seemed to him to be a big possibility for good as has been largely the case (although at that time he never touched a computer to that point)… I remember my older brother going into the field coming home with long mainframe print outs from late night mainframe computer time and I being two years younger still wondering what the computer thing might be about…
I remember well my Father always being certain that family and spirituality were of the highest importance. I remember being in high school and like so many of adolescence age, thinking my current friends would be it – BFF…
I was fortunate to marry my high school sweetheart and starting a family and realizing then the simple and so often found, but not often enough, truth, that family and what I hold as spirituality, are indeed so very precious and important. His actions were always more impactful than word, in the life he led with my ever-dedicated Mom. They showed the way!
My Father was always and remains a devote Catholic. Not ever reading the versions of history I read, he never understood my reservations, not reservations in the commandments or other teachings, but what the infiltrated church was slowly becoming. It was a source of decades of minor friction points. His devote faith, to be admired to some degree, meant we saw some things differently, but I watched my Father, the seer closest to me, also seek and struggle to understand how we might best positively impact the world.
When my Father retired he had a business card printed that had the line printed on it, "now having the time to serve the Lord"… Always the seer he saw things needing to be addressed! He and those he listened to, saw the current effort to chip people, huge surveillance databases and he railed against efforts to diminish family farms one of which he grew up on) and for reasons he never seemed able to quite verbalize, he shared Pope John Paul II’s push back against globalism…
For years, in my naiveté, I saw all too little of what the heck he was on about. We had a good number of discussions on these matters… I’d point out things, like my own involvement with data bases and my deep skepticism that the technical challenges could remotely be overcome… and then years later I too saw indeed they were being overcome and that chipping people was indeed the desired mark of the beast… I too witnessed firsthand that speaking out about such things has long been purposely made that of silly “conspiracy theory” by the “big club” we are are not allowed to influence - that is, unless we too are willing to sell your soul to join… what a huge unpleasant surprise that was to me! So fortunate for me, my wife, like my Mom, was a huge supporter and my own kids get it!
Like my Father had shown for years, I too worked to gather my sphere of influence to raise awareness and understanding to effect positive change. So long turned off by the dogma of the infiltrated church I dim wittingly overlooked the core precious wisdom that could have forged a key alliance, the like we all look for. My Father and I have enjoyed a long loving relationship and we have expressed it a couple of times – thank God! But as I finally see what fresh hell is being brought upon us and how great the need for great alliances. I bemoan my slowness in being able to lift the veil from my own eyes, which my Father saw years prior and I now know well the urgency for he spoke of it. Unfortunately I often feigned a willingness to hear a snippet.
My Father tired, as I too have felt the burden and weight of many of times. By the time I shared more of his wisdom, he was health wise spent and rightfully anxious to pass the torch! I so pray for there not to be remotely the need to have to carry such a burden so long as he did, let alone to need to pass said torch to the next generation!
From the time covid hit I have railed with the little I have, not to forgo freedoms for a so called greater good, for there is no greater good than our God granted freedoms, so long as we use them wisely! Being chipped with DNA altering vaccines is not aligned with our God given DNA!
Unto my fellow persons; •They forced so many to close family businesses being supposedly not essential •They forced masks on children •They refused to let them buy groceries •They forced into unemployment •They have tried to cancel Thanksgiving and Christmas •They wouldn’t let us visit family, even the dying •They called us deplorable for refusing to submit to bill of right and unconstitutional orders
Pope John Paul II having lived through socialist and communist efforts in Poland so wisely stated “A person who is deprived of something he can call his own, and of the possibility of earning a living through his own initiative, comes to depend on the social machine and those who control it”!
Worse still, but coveted by those who seek total control, is an immune system which has been totally compromised by vaccines and boosters and becomes totally dependent on them for your survival, for then they totally control you! In such a predicament you will give up all freedom and bow to the need totally. You will do whatever you are told or else.
My Father, the Seer, spoke often of Satan and for decades I thought it to be silly talk… until I truly saw Satans works very much within the scamdemic and current globalism!
Here is a version of a prayer found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta: People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
There are those who will leap upon the shortcomings and sins of Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa and perhaps justly so. You and I will do well to act upon these words and wisdom at a minimum!
My Father, the biological and my Father God the spriritual, the seers, both speak this wisdom. My biological Father now plagued with dementia, and now being separated physically from his wife of 67 years this week, taught me such valuable insights… Tomorrow and the next day I hope to continue to be able to share what I can with my Father and Mother, of what I’m doing to carry his torch and I’ll know by the twinkle in their eyes that I’m doing my little bit of God’s work… There is a crack in everything that’s how God’s light get in…
Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. Don’t wait on a plan be part of the plan and solution!
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
I think everyone who clicks on this post and believes they don’t have the time to read it ,, should read it anyway !
This was beautifully written and I hope that you read it to your dad , even if you don’t think he will comprehend your words ,, read it to him anyway ! Thank you for writing and posting this tribute to your father, I feel grateful that you’ve had each other and remember, when the time comes for him to go to heaven , it’s ok , because you’ll see him again anyway!
Also a wonderfully shared sentiment. Thank you
I feel blessed to know you both through your words ! Thank you
Agreed, beautifully written. Blessings to the writter and his family. The burden we all carry is heavy. But in God all things are possible.
Yes, it's worth the read.
My mother and father have also been married 67 years and will be separated physically next week. But it’s not my father but my mother who has the dementia. It’s tragic and cruel how this disease steals not only our loved ones memory but how it affects the family surrounding the one it is slowly taking away. I’m crying reading your post, you are not alone.
My father passed away due to Alzheimer's and was with him before he passed...Your words reminded me of him and brought back some very fond memories of us together before I shipped off to Vietnam...He told me later that was the longest year of his life...He was a Deacon in the Catholic Church and he enjoyed his calling all the way to the end...
Thank you for this gift you have given everyone here...God Bless & Merry Christmas...
"For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life."
--line from Prayer of St. Francis
Your father obviously passed on the torch to you successfully. His mission was accomplished.
Such a beautiful tribute to your Father.
I agree with u/NeverStopBelieving. Read this post to him. Tell him everything you've always wanted to say. Recount old family stories that are dear to your heart. Thank him for everything he taught you, handed down to you, how he molded you.
Tell him how much you treasure him as your Father and how you will pass on his wisdom and legacy. Hold his hand. Tell him how much you love him.
Record and video him. If he can share the past or present all the better. If not record and video him anyway because their may be a time when your heart aches to see him and hear his voice.
Tell him that someday when you are parted, you will still be together...Blessings to your family! 🙏
Beautiful sentiments and wise advice ! They do come in and out and sometimes memories will jar them into the present for moments. The video is a treasure of an idea ! You’re always such a blessing Joys daughter , thank you !
Aaawww... thanks fren! I mentioned things that I wish I had done with my parents & grandparents. Sometimes you don't have any advance warning that loved ones are leaving us. Our family was very loving & sentimental so my only regrets are that I don't have videos of my loved ones...Thank God for photos but, so often I want to see & hear them. My husband saved my voicemails from my Mom on my work phone so I would have her voice. So I always try to mention this to people because it's a treasure to have them.
Just have to say I have been so touched by others here sharing their stories and tributes. Very powerful. 💔
I never cease to be amazed by the generous hearts of our family here...always open for each other! 💕
What a testament of God’s love. Through your faith in Him, your story will be told. My father passed from Lewy body dementia right before Covid hit. I am thankful that he did not have to experience our current political situation. We loved to talk politics. I missed him dearly this Christmas. Much love to you.
I’m so very glad you had him for as long as you did and so sorry it wasn’t longer! sorry for your loss and longing for him to be with you this Christmas. I feel your heartbreak through your words and pray each day will get easier as the years go by bringing you closer to the day that you will be together once again ! Merry Christmas Fren !
Hope these search results help.

Read as much as you can as many pages deep into the search results as you can. There is much to learn.
TLDR: Alzheimer’s is treatable and curable with plant extracts, diet rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, deep stage 4 REM sleep, intermittent fasting (either 20/4 or 5/2), anti-inflammatory+/keto diet that’s high in good fats like grass fed dairy and beef, lightly cooked pasture raised eggs (should have orange runny yolks), extra virgin olive and avocado oils, wild caught salmon, omega 3 fish oil, and low glycemic/high fat nuts like macadamia and Brazil nuts.
Diet should also be completely devoid of: white rice, white bread, refined wheat pasta, refined sugar not from whole fruits and veggies, chemicals, artificial ingredients, anything processed that’s not organic, “vegetable”/canola/sunflower/safflower/palm/seed oils, non-grass fed dairy/beef, farmed fish, etc.
Whole grains/brown rice only for any grain products. Sprouted whole grain products including breads and pastas are basically medical.
Anyways, after clicking on a study in the results, if you don’t see the entire paper you can often click the blue “Full text links” button for a link to the entire paper if it’s free. If you find a paper that’s not free and you really want to read it, let me know.
If you’re not a scientist or technical, just read the ”Abstract” or “Introduction” section at the beginning and the “Conclusion” section at the end of any scientific paper to get the gist of it.

please pay attention to this.
I seem to remember someone else, I can't remember if it was here or not, mentioning poor sleep was a huge contributor to Alzheimer's.
May God’s voice lead you on the path set before you and His insight of His Word be yours. In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.
Well said, fren,. Well said.
You have touched my heart with your words.
Your insight now is not too late. It was there in your father's examples and you acted on it more than you remember, it just takes a long time to see how it all works.
Prayers from a pained but faithful Catholic family for you and yours, fren. We will hold the line and we will greet each other on the other side.
my feelings are this... those of us that are with the Lord God, we are all connected through SPIRIT. our bodies are not long for this world & I truly believe we will all be reunited, together again, in our Father's Kingdom.
i believe our time on Earth is simply to allow Christ into our mind & body, so that we may be reconciled to our Father. So many of us, all of us perhaps, encounter terrible situations, but to those of us that are filled with the Spirit of our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, we are NEVER ALONE.
we help each other, even in illness & death, get to our destination, where hopefully we all get to be together again.
it seems your biological father's faith has not swayed, either in beliefs in the Lord & his faith in raising his family here on Earth to help guide you all HOME.
we get there together...
God bless you and your father. Dementia is a terrible fate. He will be in my prayers.
So much wisdom in this beautiful post! Thank you for sharing this.
You are already successful at passing on his wisdom. Your father must be so proud of you. Help them as much as you can. Prayers for you and family for continued strength.
What a beautiful tribute. My mother passed last month after a 5-ish year battle with dementia. The one Dr who I really liked told me to constantly tell her we loved her, lots of physical touch (she would often reach for our hands when eating a meal). He said they may reach a point where they don't know who we are, but they know they love us. But it sounds like you already figured that out. Blessings to you and your dad and a bond that will keep getting stronger but in a different way.
Give him less carbs for food and more fats and dementia will subdue!!!
Thank you for sharing, I really like it and this writing helps people like me to see the world in a different way. God bless you and your dad.
6th grade education, avoided indoctrination and had to think for himself. Sounds like with a God's Word as his guide he did alright by you guys.
I am teary eyed after reading your post. What lovely words expressed here for your father and life as he has shown you. My husband of 49 years is also suffering from dementia so I know how devastating that can be to watch a loved one lose such precious memories. Bless you and your family for the love you share.
There's been an anti-fungal protocol kicking around 4chan's /x/ forums last couple of months. It posits that mold/fungus/yeast is the root cause of so many problems in modern society.
"Fungus broke our genetic code as humans approximately 15,000 years ago. We've traced it to a specific geolocation and point in time. The fungus affected our IL-17 and IL-22 cytokine pathways, CARD9 and STAT1 gene, allowing chronic systemic infection while we are still in the womb. It takes early control of our bodily systems and uses us as a food source. It is intelligent and can work in colonies or as one organized collective.
It is responsible for nearly every disease known, and allopathic (western) doctors are specifically trained to look everywhere but the root of the problem. It causes brain disorders, tooth decay, heart problems, organ problems, degrades your eyesight, slows down your brain process, is a primary cause of cancer, anxiety, depression, gout, skin disorders, myalgias, sclerosis, damages your DNA and is one of the primary hidden factors of aging itself.
The majority of the world population is predisposed to have a lifetime infection and Pass it down generationally to their children. It influences your thoughts, behaviors and eating habits. It prompts deviant and impulsive behavior. It destroys your hormone balance. It can cause a lifetime of illness, depression and anxiety."
And specifically for your husband: "One fungus, Cryptococcus Neoformans, is commonly misdiagnosed as Alzheimers." Does your husband have any other symptoms attributed to mold? How about his home environment?
https://www.docdroid.net/FX4DpXm/cdf-nac-protocol-pdf
The protocol is simple: NAC, Oregano Oil, Black Seed Oil
Great information! Thank you as this gives me areas to research!!!
How about grapefruit seed extract?
The creators of the protocol are active on 4chan's /x/ board, and Godlike Productions forums: https://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message5240986/pg1
Having realised that mineral water..volvic in particular because of the acidic content removes aluminium causing autism....tests showed aluminium in urine of people drinking mineral water...they are now testing for dementia Parkinson and Alzheimer's.
It is known aluminium crosses the blood/brain barrier and autopsies show it coats the pineal gland.our third eye.
Takes about six months to clear autism.
Look into the effects of creatine supplementation on brain function, it returned my mother to her own sharp as a tack self when I noticed a reduction in ability to process.
May not have as much of an effect on your father but better is still better...
Love the quote of JP2, thank you for this. Dementia is one of the worst afflictions. I've seen two of my grandparents suffer through it to the ends of their lives, and undoubtedly my father will have it someday too. I wish you all the best and good health for you and your father!
I love this... especially this advice below.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.
"People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway. Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
Catholic charities and churches exacerbate the illegal immigration problem. Until this changes its hard to take them seriously
Hey, methylene blue for dementia and alzheimers. Might not mix well with current medication but apparently works on it's own. Of course read up on dosage and such.
That stuff is awesome.
I try to drink some every day.
Cool. Glad to hear. I'm still waiting on my first bottle to arrive. Sounds like it's good for so many things.
This is so touching! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing that glimpse into the life of a wonderful man. You and many others have been blessed to have shared time with him. My Mother died with dementia from the condition, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus in 2006, which includes dementia as part of the triad of issues. My Dad died in 2013 with early dementia; he was still pretty lucid.
Reading Dr. Vernon Coleman's book, Dementia Myth, has given me a different perspective on this. There are reasons for dementia that our "trusted" doctors never investigate and it's "normal" for them to just warehouse those who have such symptoms. You might like to read that book. You can download it here for free if you so desire: https://annas-archive.org/md5/35ed5796d1603d5ecc6045df7014eba1
Brought me to tears. I'm Catholic and I have never heard that prayer. Thanks for sharing.
What a blessing this post is. A far reaching blessing.
Thank you, OP. I read it and all comments so far.
Blessed by this pause to read.
What a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing.
I was initially going to bypass this post, but something, a little internal voice said “read this”. I’m glad I did! The reflections in this post were right on ! Thank you (seernewday) 😀
Worth trying...
Those who focus on the things of God, will he those who witness the miracles and signs of God and His Spiritual workings. God often speaks through them, no matter their education or status in life.
God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called, His Ecclesia (called out ones). I know I certainly don’t qualify but God has been refining me through the fire in order to qualify me.
