Carbon monoxide poisoning and Dementia

The risk of developing dementia has been associated with several conditions, including alcohol abuse (alcohol-related dementia), chronic traumatic encephalopathy, drug side effects, depression, and other central nervous system disorders.9–15 Establishing a link between associated risk factors and dementia may provide appropriate means of treatment and counseling, thereby reducing the risk of dementia and costs of treatment.

Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is a common and important cause of death among populations, including populations in the United States, and England and Wales.16 Approximately 15,000 unintentional nonfire related episodes of CO poisoning have been reported annually in England and Wales, leading to 50,000 emergency department visits and 500 deaths.

How do we provide comfort to our seniors in pain?

It has been 5 weeks that I and other caregivers are taking care of a 92 year old with Dementia, leg and knee pain and depression. After 5 weeks, she grimaces less and complain less of pain as we provide comforting words and massages to her. She likes the hugs and comforting words as she lives alone , feeling like abandoned for many years. 

We use all kinds of massage oil from coconut oil with fresh ginger and turmeric powder to Desitin, as she is bed-ridden and can be prone to bed sores. Sunlight is very important to her to remove her blues and move her from bed to wheelchair with exercise. It warms her body and she loves to be in the sun.

Gut Bacteria Linked to Age Related Conditions

Anxiety with Dementia decreased by calcium and magnesium nutrients

My client who is 92 yrs old with early Dementia is shouting less at night and more calm. After 4 weeks of taking care of her and with introduction of nutritional supplementation rich in calcium and magnesium, she did not shout last night. I also spent some time massaging her head and face after I massage her legs between the hours of  6 to 7 pm. We still need to get a protective top mattress cover for her hospital bed to prevent bed sores and provide more comfort. I also served cooked – boiled sweet potatoes last night. When I shop for her food, I include eggs, nutrition drink, blueberries, lemon, avocados, bananas, oranges, salmon, veggies for soups (cilantro, carrots, celery, onions, garlic)

Mitochondrial disease , anti-oxidants, nutrition test and Dementia
