ALZHEIMER'S DEMENTIA CASE study #3

Howard Hagglund, MD Norman, Oklahoma

  I never tire of knowing crusty-Zorba-like people.  They are the tough fair-minded that survived hardship or poverty to make it to this United States.  This is Datzig, the husband in this piece.

He brought his wife, an artist, who sold much of her work.  “She’s got Alzheimer’s”, can you help?”  “I have heard you can, can’t draw, can’t remember and I have to watch her all the time”

  You know the drill.  She couldn’t remember breakfast, who the president was and she looked to him to answer all of my test questions.  I reviewed all of her recent evaluations including a CT scan, which he reported was normal.  I acknowledged all of her meds and noted no nutrients, past or present.  Very little exercise and slow gradual down-hill course.

  Let’s do this: add some quality nutrients, exercise and NeuroResearch Clinics level 1 protocol with plans to progress to levels 2 and 3.  Before the second evaluation and reorder visit, my office manager told me “she is drawing and doing better” and “the doctors at the University can’t believe her progress”  I remained guarded but expectant.  It is cruel to be promising too much to such a couple.

  At the next visit “she’s better Doc”.  “I will bring you some pictures next time”. She was able to trot off to the bathroom and they both were together again.

  It was now 4 weeks and level 3 the next visit.  She could tell me the president and the vice presidents name.  Her husband unrolled one of her pictures.  Beautiful.  You would frame this one and put in your study.  More importantly, “she is so much better doctor”. “Why don’t the other doctors know this or do it this way?”  “I feel we have wasted so much time and money”.

  She is a work in progress but both are happy and have the life they so treasure.  My manager kidded her “how do you put up with him”?   “I couldn’t live without him.”
