The confident little man, told me at the tender age of 5.

At that moment, I knew that this child in particular, had no plans anytime soon of behaving himself. He fully intends to leave this earth in a blaze of glory. Recently he ventured out on his own at age 18 and managed to crash and burn within two weeks of leaving the homestead, but we’ve got time, he’s going to one up himself until he hits a wall. In his defense, he warned me years ago. However, I plan to fulfill his final wishes anyway I can. After all, I tell everyone that story, so as to make sure if I am gone, someone will manage to get it done, just for me, so I can laugh from the unearthly plains. (Remember, how I said, I was allergic to stress? Yes, he’s THAT child, and I am owed a slap on his behind on the way out. Haha)

I’ve spent most of my time last week remembering people, mourning a loss of someone near and dear to our family, and reorganizing my room in the process. A few weeks ago, it was a father of a bestie who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. This past week, a mother of a different best friend, whom had Dementia.

I honestly wish I had taken a before picture of my bedroom, but alas I didn’t. When I started falling ill, my bedroom became a little bit of a hoard, since 2014 I’ve been collecting many things. When you start to lose mental functionality, and also if you have ADHD or ADD, there is a thing called, OBJECT PERMANENCE. You may notice yourself, or even your children leaving various objects in plain view so you remember you have them so you can use them. Don’t you dare ever put anything in boxes, you’ll forget you have them and then buy more, turning into a mini hoard.

Honestly, I’m grateful for the ability to now, 1) Have the energy and focus to start tackling the “hoard”, 2) Have the ability to recognize now, why I was doing what I was doing., 3) Share this knowledge with you, or your loved ones so they can recognize an issue before it becomes a major problem.

Your loved ones, who would regularly and normally stay fairly well organized and confident in their function, start to show signs of object permanence, starting to leave things in “convenient” places so they don’t “forget” to do things or use things daily. It actually comes on pretty subtle at first. Then, there is obsessive compulsive behaviors as well coupled with the “convenient” storage of items they need daily. It’s an ugly vicious cycle to lose your cognitive function, and the family has to constantly ask themselves, “Why did they do that?” I’m telling you the why. However, don’t you dare touch their system that they have created, because there will be an argument that ensues, or at least a lot of grumbling, because they’ve lost enough cognitive or memory to remember where it was placed, once you take it out of its position to clean the house again. To be honest, they’re going to forget anyway eventually if you know they don’t use it daily, and they definitely won’t remember it at all if it’s placed in a box next to them, it’s in a box, and it is UNSEEN. “Out of sight, out of mind.”

During the process of cleaning and organizing I’ve found a treasure trove of notes that I had written myself, organized my supplements, and took up collection of EVERY SINGLE prescription bottle they had me on during my years of illness. It’s an impressive collection, and I don’t suggest you take modern medicine by the handfuls like this. Yes, there is at least two bottles that are duplicates, but that’s because it’s how it is filled, and a few creams and lotions per prescription are tossed in to balance out the multitudes of drugs my body was consuming. Essentially, I was on at least 10 medications simultaneously at all times.

I came across one of my empty bottles of Naringin as well, and I was reminded of just how far I’ve come from the days of modern medicine to healing myself naturally. Naringin deserves a Grammy or Oscar in my lineup. It’s one of the top supplements that keeps me going. To see the supplement, just follow the link here: https://amzn.to/3JCQakR

“The results of the present study concluded that naringin can effectively improve the cognitive abilities of mice with memory impairment and exert neuroprotective effects. Thus, naringin may be a promising target drug candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.”
