I will be happy...Hello Rina, thanks for your note. I will be happy to tell you what it is that I've done for my mom and what has worked.<br /><br />We see Dr. Barton, a Naturopath Doctor who is also a licensed Acupuncturist. I found Dr. Barton through this website - The American Association of Naturopathic Doctors - http://www.naturopathic.org/ <br /><br />If you live in Massachusetts, Dr. Barton is fabulous and has helped my mom a lot; more than any doctor that she has seen.<br /><br />You can email me at backdoorlogic @ verizon.net (take the spaces out from before and after the @ sign.)<br /><br />Diet is also very important. Cut out simple carbs and processed foods. Use all natural food - fresh vegetables and herbs. Turmeric and black pepper should be used together.<br /><br />Is your husband diabetic with high blood sugar? Does he have high blood pressure and or high cholesterol?<br /><br />I found that keeping all of these in balance will help reduce the agitation and the hallucinations.<br /><br />Does he hallucinate about wild animals, new rooms in the house, people? <br /><br />If he's got parkinson symptoms where he has a shake, it could be Lewy Bodies Dementia. It's the most misdiagnosed neurological disorder because it has symptoms of Alzheimer's. Folks with LBD can not take certain medications, especially antidepressants. Check out the yahoo user group for Lewy Bodies Dementia. <br /><br />My mom is not on any pharma drugs. She is doing great with Acupuncture. Tomorrow she has another treatment. I'm excited to talk to her again.<br /><br />Thank you for finding me Rina. I do hope what I've discovered can help you to help your husband.Susan Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019940790074997076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879192449061145204.post-28837281451178954442010-07-11T10:44:56.658-04:002010-07-11T10:44:56.658-04:00Hi Susan I am not very good at using the BLOG I wo...Hi Susan I am not very good at using the BLOG I would love if you can tell me what type of Acupuncture your mother in having. My husband who is 57 years old has dementia. I am so scared to see what its doing to him. He is on medication I received this news about 8 months ago and all I can do is cry because I am afraid of what is to come. You are a very strong person and any help you can give me will help. Thanks I will continue to read your blog I don't even now how I found it,I guess it was God above seeing me getting weaker by this devasting news.

She's back to hallucinating and telling me to "Look!" and then asking me, "What is that over there?"Susan Higginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019940790074997076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879192449061145204.post-23351582989061511322010-07-09T15:54:26.846-04:002010-07-09T15:54:26.846-04:00I am so glad that things have turned around for yo...I am so glad that things have turned around for you now. I used accupunture in Texas for stress. It gave me one year of no migraines. Then I went for another round of treatment before moving to Washington. It does work! Wishing you more peace and happiness.
