    I just recently learned people with Alzheimer’s basically forget how to consume foods and liquids and it absolutely broke my heart. God bless those with this horrible disease and their families who have to watch them slowly fade.

    I went through this with my husband. It was brutal. For four years I took care of him. The last two years he was totally bedridden and the constant lifting him has destroyed my neck to my legs. He finally went into a coma and he died the next morning at the hospital. Eight years later, I'm still grieving for what I had to see happening to him, ever so slowly! 😢

    My father in law passed away few years back and it was such a shock like next minute his lying in bed and bladders hard for him to control to going to hospital and 2 days admitted he passed away. I just remember him being given pain killers and breathing through the machine because he couldn’t breathe by himself. I pray none of us go through it, wasn’t ready for this

    Dr. Mary Newport MD wrote a great book on this subject:“Alzheimer’s what if there was a cure?” In it explains how and what helped her husband with Alzheimer’s. Medicines make it worse because it introduces toxins but a ketogenic diet helps immensely, Coconut oil and MCT’s help a lot.

      You can go in the nursing home walking normal but confused, They usually can't walk eventually & go to a wheelchair. They most of the time get so that they can't talk. They can't sit up so have to go to a Geri chair. Then start to have swallow problems and it just keep going down hill.. My Husband had it 10 yrs. the last 5 in nursing home. It's a living hell.. sorry.
