Hello Sameer,
I am writing this to seek help for my father who has dementia, and I am seeing him getting worse, I do not know if anything could be helped at this point,but I am willing to try and see if things can be at least kept at the same level.He had a heart attack in 2001, he lives in Europe, and for reasons ofavailability of sataff in the hospital, they did not do a bypass, instead sent him home to wait out the summer, telling him not to do anything strenuous, and to go back in one months' time.
I found an open window there, so I sent down a bottle of arterial cleansing ingregients, which he took, thinking they could do no wrong at this point.
this was sometime in July, and he went for a check up again at the end of August.
The doctor was amazed because he said 'the heart is receiving blood. there is no need for surgery.' so they did not perform the surgery and sent him home.
In 2005, he fainted once, was very weak, and after a whole ton of tests they installed a pacemaker.
On the same day he had the pacemaker installed he started talking as if delusional, like he was seeing his mother going up the hill, he wanted to pull the pacemaker, off, and such things.
Ever since then, his health particularly his mental health has been declining. He is no the cardio-protocol of drugs, including lipitor.
Now he believes that the pacemaker has kept him alive and whenever he feels weak, he thanks God he has 'this', pointing to it on his chest.
Present symptoms.
His physical health is relatively ok and stable, he has a good daily rhythm of activities, he is being taken care of by my mom who is exhausted.
Mental symptoms:
He is experiencing memory loss. He cannot connect his thoughts in sequence.
this frustrates him.
He is obsessed with having money in his wallet so he takes whatever money he has out of his wallet, puts it somewhere, he looses it, and then screams at my mom for taking it, he accuses others of taking it.
Peculiar acts:
He shreds toilet paper and stuffs his pockets with it.
On about 2 weeks after the full moon, his symptoms are way worse and he becomes verbally aggressive to my mom.
I cannot speak of preferences of food because he eats normal traditional food, except he pours a lot of salt on the food, as if he cannot taste the amount.
If my mom comments on that he becomes upset and will not hear of anything.
He likes things the way he likes them. If there is a glass on the table and does not want it there, he will command it away.
He gets very confused if people come to the house, he prefers only the very few familiar faces.
He is frustrated that his mind does not help him to do the things he always did, he was a very dynamic man always creating, a businessman.
Sometimes he asks if people were in the house because he thought he saw many.
He recently started having delusions about people doing bad things to him.
He says people are evil and jealous of him.
He had been (1980-1983)under homeopathic treatment for a really bad skin condition, he had these lesions all over his body, which we saw travelling from the face down all the way to the feet over the course of 2-3 years, with Lycopodium 200c.
At the time the homeopath was also giving him radionic treatments.
At this point I do not know if anything could be done, and to be honest, if there is an aggravation I do not even know if my mom could handle it, they would probably go straight to the doctor for medicine.
I am willing to send remedies from here if you would think it would be appropriate at this stage.
It takes approximately one week for things to arrive by post.
It is sad to see that he is understanding that his mind is not working well and he verbalizes it.
The worst are the mental confusion and the aggressivenss on those days of the moon cycle.

Yes, precisely, that seems to be the worst time, both for mental confusion, inability to express his thoughts as well as aggression/vehemence.

Hello,
he has been very focused on his tasks all his life, he had been interested in business, creating, working hard,for many years in North America for 25 years, then moved back to Europe, continued with farming, gardening.
He was not too emotional with wife and children, but a very good provider for the family.
Very generous with his possessions to others, has helped many financially,
he always took pride in his accomplishments, he still talks about what he accomplished in North America,(a couple of businesses, a couple of houses)
He also had another side, he was not always the kindest to my mother, he had accused her a couple of times of having affairs of which he was sure, but which never actually had happened.
He could be very dictatorial if it concerned getting the job done,for example, if my mother was tired, he would not say why don't you sit down and rest, rather he might say, why are you being lazy, there is no time for rest we have work to do.
He put in very long hours at work, just like many immigrants in North America do.
He was a very generous boss to his workers in terms of gifts, holiday bonuses, etc.
He did not have much value for academics, rather he preferred to work with his hands and was always interested in listening to people's business accomplishments.
He always focused on his task, was very organized but did not allow my mother to take charge of any financial affairs, but he always shared information about the concerns of the household, but he did not listen to her opinion either.
He usually told her that 'she does not know what she is talking about.'
He never gossiped other people and was always honest in his dealings.
He feels that he does not have had enough time to do what he loves doing, which is creating, and he feels noe that his mind ability is leaving him.
he has been drinking wine daily for years, not much, but daily, because he loves it. It is one of his creations, he makes it well and others come to him for his wine.
He thinks there is no wine like his in the area, very proud of it. Others agree because they keep coming to have some.

Hello Sameer,
I was away for a bit, but I have read the two remedies well.
Sulphur reminds me of people who talk and philosophize but do not manifest.
My father typicallly is a man of action, when an idea would come to hims mind he would immediately take steps to bring it to fruition.
He does have a high opinion of his accomplishments but he also admires any person who is a 'doer'.
he is not messy, rather very organized, and not at all a philosopher nor a great intellectual. Rather, I would describe him as practical, to the point and not emotional; costructive, not wasting any time, always uses his time wisely with completing tasks.
He despises slovenliness.
My daughter who saw him this summer says that it is hard to describe his personality right now because he changes. If the rhythmic schedule of the day gets thrown off, he gets mad;
One morning he tried going on the bus to go into town by himself and both my mother and the bus driver stopped him, he was extremely mad with my mother for two days.
He is not locacious and never was. He believes words are cheap, and action is what a person should be engaged in.
the jealous part of him displayed itself only a few times in their life, when he had thought that my mother might have been having an affair. this was his imagination yet he was sure he was right. My mother now thinks that maybe he was crazy since then.
He did not use sharp words to strike at people or be sarcastic toward them.
Now, even in his old senile days, my mother told me that he is getting some people to go and pick the grapes so he can make wine and 'give it all away.'
He prefers to be active, doing what he loves, and, blame my mother for 'not having helped him enough', something he often says to her.
He can be dictatorial in his commanding things to get done, swiftly, efficiently and 'right'.
Is the fact that he drinks and likes drinking wine daily, pointing toward NuX Vom?
He is not so compulsive or a workaholic, but he likes accomplishment.
I do not know if things reverse at this stage, but if something would calm down his anger (those days of the moon cycle_ it wourd be fantastic.
As always I am so thankful for your help

Hi Marika,
Please get him to take a dose of Sulphur 30c, just a single dose on any morning on an empty stomach. I am saying just a single dose since we do not want any aggravations.
Lets see if this calms him down.
Report as needed.

Thank you sooooo much.
I will send this down right away.
Should I send him the pellets or should I dissolve 2 pellets in some water and
send the dilution in a remedy bottle?

Send him the pellets, and then he can dissolve 2 pellets in 250 ml water, and take a spoon from there.

Dear Sameer,
I found Sulphur 12C in my collection of remedies, is it ok to send this potency?
If not, I will buy 30C and send it , it is no problem.

Hello,
I am reporting back to say that after the dose of Sulphur 30C it seems that my father may have had an easier time during the September phase of the new moon.
He did become aggravated about something, but his reaction was not so severe as other times-it was a little milder: 'Nobody is going to touch my 'horse', which really meant his car.
He confused the words car with horse (he does not own a horse, he did about 40 years ago).
He still gets confused, he had one incident where he proceeded to go out the door in his pyjamas, and he does not like to take baths anymore,(about every 10 days), it is hard work to get him to wash.
Please advise me as to what to do next.
He takes one medication that is for his 'dementia' but I am not sure of the name.
Thank you.

I believe it has been progressing in the last few months, because my daughter told me when she came back late summer, but when I was talking to my mother yesterday on the phone, she said that last bath was 15 days from the previous one, and I understood from her voice that it was too long., so he must be resisting washing, more and more.
Marika last decade
This confirms the remedy even further.
Give him a dose of Sulphur 200c, dissolve 2 pellets in 250 ml spring water, and give him a teaspoon from there ONCE.

sameervermani last decade
Yes, it does, and it also confirms your excellent judgment,
would the 200C potency bring up any aggravation, he has had some skin outbreak suppressed with medication in the fall of 2008.
I would not mind that, but my mother would be terribly nerve-ridden if anything were to break outwardly.

If such a thing happens (comes on the surface), it would be a good sign.
This suppression is the root cause of this problem.

I totally agree with you,
yet how far bach would we be able to trace this process if he has had a heart attack already?
yet again, even if he had an outbreak, he would be better mentally would he not> i believe he would.
I may talk with my mom and see what she says, she needs a remedy most of all in this case because when things don't go absolutely perfect, she starts blaming everyone around and mostly me.
In your opinion, would he have an outbreak? It would probably be hard to tell.
I am of the persuasion to give him the 200 potency, he improved with the 30C.

Hello again,
It has been one week since my father has had the 200C potency and my mother says that he is 'staying steady'. I believe by that she must mean that he is not getting any worse, and she has not mentioned any serious incidents about yelling and such.
I also think that the crescent moon days have been milder since he started on the Sulphur. So, yet again, great work.
I will be going to see my parents from first week in November to first week in December, and I was wondering if I could bring some remedies with me that you may think I may be needing, because I will have no access to a computer from down there, and it will be hard acquiring remedies.
I will be communicating with my daughter by phone, and she can communicate to you my observations, but I cannot get remedies.
If I can carry the ones that you may think is a possibility to be used for my father, it would make things very easy.
I will ask some more questions, he does not like talking on the phone because he gets confused, it is hard for him to process the info over the phone so he avoids it , but my mom can tell me.
He still does not rush to the bath but his comprehension is a little bit better. My mom even said that she saw him watching the television for a few minutes, something he has stopped doing for a few years. The viewing did not last long, but it was an attempt.(this he did after the 30C potency.)
In the next week I will speak with my mom again and I will write any other details that may have been observed by her.
In the meantime, I thank you.

Hi Marika,
Good to know about the improvements.
You can carry Natrum Mur 1M for yourself, and Sulphur 1M for your father.

Hello Sameer,
I wanted to double check with you re: taking down Sulphur 1M.
My father has had a heart attack (in 2001) and more recently has had a pacemaker installed.
Would the 1M dose possibly be too strong for him or would it be a natural progression after the 200C?
If he gets an aggravation for example, how do I handle that down there? If it is on the skin we will leave it but do you expect that he may have an aggravation in the cardiovascular system at all?
I just want to be prepared with possibly more remedies.
Also they are expecting to receive the flu vaccines in the area soon, and the elderly might be ones of the first to get it.
I appreciate your opinion if you get the chance to answer.
Thank You,
Marika

I would advise against the flu vaccine. I do not expect him to catch flus, as his susceptibility is mainly at the mental plane.
We are gradually raising the potency, so I do not expect severe aggravations.
