In a related story, my 92 year old mom is in a nursing home. We had had her on a vitamin regimin. In an effort to save resources, she was taken off the vitamins. There was a dramatic decline in her mental condition. Her condition declined so rapidly I thought she was dying. She was having mini strokes and leaned to the right and was sleeping so soundly, we could not wake her. When we did, she had no idea where she was even though we thought she usually recognized us.

We asked to have her put back on fish oil, Vit C, Vit E and a multi vitamin.

I went to see her today and the change is remarkable. I still can't say the vitamin regimine is definitely the difference but it's getting highly suspicious. She's not going off the vitamins.

She's not going off the vitamins.

A proper vitamin and nutrition (avoid the overly refined carbs, fats and oils) regimen definitely helps mental clarity.

I had gotten off my vitamin regimen of many years (because my wife found the box of pills that I always had on the kitchen counter to be ugly ;). My mental clarity, as measured by how many hours a day I could productively write computer programs, my job, had declined dramatically.

I divorced the wife, got back the vitamins, and am feeling younger, healthier and more alert than I have in years. Numerous minor ailments have gone away. Though still doing not a lick of exercise or enforcing any "diet" to reduce caloric intake, my weight has dropped thirty pounds and my blood pressure has normalized.

Take good care of your mom.
