I'm the only caretaker for my husband with dementia. He is 67yo. He did some heavy drinking for at least decade. I don't know what brought it on though there was a drug He took in 2017 or so, harvoni for hep c. It could be a multitude of factors. Genetics, drinking, pharmaceuticals. Anyway, I tried hyperbaric oxygen treatments, 8 1-hour sessions at my cost 250 per. I tried ivermectin, fenbendazole, methylene blue. He also saw a specialist in Lyme disease as we think he had it around 2009 but was treated at the time, the specialist tested his hormones, and a multitude of unusual tests that don't get tested normally. That Dr put him on alternating antibiotics and anti virals such as HCQ. I haven't found anything that really made a difference. I have given up and am resigned that it's terminal though it could be another 3-5 years and I'm exhausted by it all. I'm sorry you are dealing with this too. It's really torture to see someone you love lose their faculties. 🥺
It does get tiring but she's worth it. When she was diagnosed in 2014 the doctors gave her 4 to 8 years. Next year will be the 10th year that I've been taking care of her 24/7. I've prayed that the Lord take this from her and give it to me. I have plenty of stuff in my past that I'd be glad to forget. She's never even tasted alcohol except on my lips and that was years ago. Just a small town farm girl from NW Georgia but the smartest girl I've ever known. Although she was very naive in the ways of the world.
That’s wayyyyy too young to have such a serious problem! I’ve been on a carnivore/ ketogenic diet for 2 years and I listen to hundreds of interviews with patients and doctors about illness, benefits and studies.
Dementia is mentioned quite a bit. I think in addition to meat and FAT being the perfect foods it also eliminates toxins because the cows ruminate digestion filters them.
One interview I recall is a guy that owns a retirement/ assisted living facility. He went through several iterations of food for his patients/clients and finally settled on ketogenic. Patients who do that often go back to living at home. The brain function seems to improve.

Sorry I keep bugging you. Meant to add that red light doesn’t have to be fancy. The red heat lamp that people use for chickens/ livestock in the winter works just fine. Also has the added benefit of helping with collagen production in the skin; reason why we bruise/bleed easier as we age.
You aren't bugging me. I'd recently red a little about red light therapy. That's something I could do here at the house. I'll start shopping online for a red light lamp. Thanks.
If she’s on blood thinners or blood pressure meds, be very careful with nitric oxide. It basically widens blood vessels which will lower blood pressure and increase blood flow.
It does work in unexpected ways. I have to wear reading glasses now, I’m in my 50s. When I take nitric oxide my reading vision improves somewhat.
I’m sorry to hear that. Have you looked into nitric oxide? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12124705/
No but I will. I started her on methylene blue a few weeks ago. Thanks.

Still praying for you both Angel...I can't even imagine..🙏🤍
Thank you, J1D!🥰🙏
40 hz frequencies are being used for dementia treatments. Easy. Non intrusive. Some good results.
Definitely check it out.

Red light therapy in conjunction with methylene blue has been shown to be very helpful. Might be best to stick with those two and not worry about nitric oxide because of its risks. https://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/red-light-therapy
Since I've already got the methylene blue covered I'll see about ordering a red a lamp. Thanks.

No blood thinners and never had a blood pressure problem.
