I am asking all Freepers to help me this year. Not only by praying for people like my dear friend Beth. But more importantly, let us focus on Being the Light in Someone's Darkness.

I will say a prayer for her, but could you encourage her to adjust some habits to curb the progression?

Keto diet may reduce Alzheimer's risk by altering gut fungi:

Does a low carb diet keep your brain young?
https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/does-a-low-carb-diet-keep-your-brain-young

In reality, most of the “benefits” of Keto also come from just a “lower carb” approach. Getting blood sugar and insulin to both work again in their normal manner is the key. That can also be done with constant exercise to burn off the carbs. Stop eating breads, sugars, and starches in favor of the most complex of carbs, found through Glycemic Index/Load tables. Limit artificial sweeteners, which were found to cause insulin release even in the absence of calories (for that matter, it's not clear natural sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia don't cause the same reaction).

There are supplements to help, but the biggest initial benefit is from diet and exercise changes getting rid of one's “fatty liver.”

She could see immediate improvements and limit any progression.

Being the Light in Someone’s Darkness

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I love that thought. I have decided to take up some meditation to help with stress. I care take my elderly parents & it’s getting difficult as mental issues are starting to pile up on physical ones. The 2nd meditation I listened to was about the Holiday Lights ... taking them ‘inside’ and letting them shine from within to the ‘outside’. That meditation has really stuck with me and now, with your words, it’s even more meaningful with deeper perspective. If you have a light that shines from within, whether it is faith, kindness, compassion ... you can indeed light someone’s darkness.

God bless ... you and your friend will be in my prayers.

Prayers for you and your dear friend Beth. You are showing real love in action.

Prayers up for Miss Beth

25 years ago Duke University was doing a lot of good research on meds to deter that part of aging. If not Duke, perhaps UNC Chapel Hill. It was one of the NC schools.

Prayers up for Beth. May God lead her to clearerest thinking and better treatments. May God bless her with the halt of dementia and the strengthening of her health. Father in Heaven bless Beth and all who know her with the knowledge that sometimes we cannot communicate with one another, but we are never apart from you. You stay beside us when our words don’t come or our memories falter. We are not alone in our hearts - you never abandon us.
Father in Heaven, please advise Beth’s physicians with Your healing insights and optiomal treatments. Draw Beth and all who love her closer to You through this trial, and therefore closer to one another. Thank You for the Blessing of Beth’s life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.

<< Knowing I brought peace and love into someones heart
was an experience I know came straight from God. >>

True that !
My prayers up for you and Beth,
and also my desire that you continue to listen to "The Holy Spirit .
I am sure that there are others in your life
who would benefit from your sensitivity and your listening to the Spirit.
It's a gift !
