There was a large picture of a little girl taken in Istambul where my mother is from(Armenian and Polish) who was the daughter of a friend of my mothers when she was growing up and later as they got older they were friends again and my mother would visit this woman in England every couple of years. My mother was quite taken with this woman, her beauty and charm and her kindness to my mother. Maybe the little girl reminded her of this woman when she was a child. Anyway, she would ooh and ahh at the picture and what a beauty she was. She would even set a place at the dining table for her and was upset if we didn't put food there for her but she didn't pursue it when we didn't. Other pictures I believe were from the time when she lived in Turkey. She left there when she was about 21.Also, she had them and current photographs of myself and my brother and her grandson all over the house on every surface. I would come to visit her and she would be whispering to the little girl picture. She would leave pieces of candy near the picture.

2.She always used to drink a lot of water. Now,She has a glass of water with every meal. And sometimes in between. She will drink tomato juice. Won't drink grape juice I think because of the color(doesn't recognize it). Won't drink grapefruit juice or pineapple but will drink orange juice.

3. She went to EUrope one summer about5 years ago and left the door to her house open. When she got back she had many many bounced checks. We figured out that she had been a victem of lottery scams in Canada. Someone was telling her that she had already won. She had taken out a couple of credit cards and spent about 4000. We got back 2000 of it. She had been a contest subsriber for the last l5 years before that. Her motivation I believe was always to be able to give to others. She always wanted to win a kitchen for me and my husband cause we were always working on it. Anyway, after she got back from Europe my brother took over her checking account. She used to say that she didn't buy those lottery tickets but when I would say we were going to get her money back she would say "but the man said I already won, don't do that, and don't tell my brother", as if my brother was her keeper. Anyway, it was like she had 2 consciousness', neither knowing about the other.

That next year her friend lived with her so we didn't really see things getting worse. About 6-8 months later, her friend said she was leaving food on the stove. Her friend moved out and my brother and I fed her in shifts for the next 9 months. Thats when she was talking to photographs. Then she moved in with my son and his wife. But during the 9 month period it became apparent that music had a decidely good effect on her and she would dance around--we are talking music from the past, ie; edith piaf songs.It was at this time that she took Tarentula 200C and slowly quit talking to the photographs. The first year that she lived with my son I gave her 200, lm, and l0m 2 times. She got pneumonia, was in the hospital, and calc carb did nothing. She lay there and did nothing. I gave her tarentula 200c, she sat up and said, "when are we going".

4. She had pneumonia about 20 years before. About l year before her first symtoms she had a toe that got swollen, can't remember which one. She had been taking Ginko because she was worried that she was going to get Alzheimers. Because of the toe her doctor suggested she stop taking it. 6 months later it all began. I would say she was prone to colds, she would always get a cold after traveling to Europe and would always take her calc carb after that. When I was growing up she had what she called migraines in her ears. But they stopped. She used to get headaches until she had her first child. Her father had malaria and migraines, her mother had menieres disease. She was always worried about the health of her grandson.

She did have sciatica about l2 years ago. The homeopath said he couldn't help that. She begged him for something for the pain and he gave her belladonna and the pain went away and never came back.

She has osteosoporosis. No pain from that. She had arthritis in her fingers but when she got the AD, I swear to God it disappeared.9

5. Never that I ever knew about(flatulence)

6.78 years old

7.Her front teeth come out, whats that called, a partial?

8. She has always had a bump at the bottom of her neck, a bump or a lump. She used to go to a chiropractor but I don't know if it was for that reason.Before the scratching of the head she had sores on the left hairline at side, behind and below ear, that she would pick at the same as the top of her head.

9. OOps, I'm out of sequence. Her friend died, age 51, one month before she moved in with my son.

l0. Never drinks milk

ll. Always liked eggs. She likes dried apricots and dried plums, feta cheese, helva,and bread, she would eat and does it bread at every meal(I buy her sprouted seed bread--so she isn't getting flour bread for the most part)She loves salads and tomatoes. She will eat steak and chicken and turkey--seems to like them. Potatoes, though I ask them to restrict them because of the arthritis implication. Spinach. Cheese, tho, we try to restrict that. She drinks soy milk and the daughter-in-law say she would probably drink milk if theygave it to her.

12. I would say she has become a little bent, she has gotten about6 inches shorter in the last couple of years.


She is generally lethargic when I first see her. When I take her for walks I point out everything for her and generally keep up a good conversation with her. Eventually she wakes up and starts talking back with me, not that it makes too much sense, but she becomes livlier.

Daughter-in law says sometimes she talks non-stop as if she is having a normal conversation. She has all the intonations down right, just not words or subject.

a month ago I sat down in the patio with her and talked to her straight from the heart. I told her I thought it must be hard living with young people(27 years old) who couldn't really relate to her. She answered me, "yes, it is sad". I said "I don't know how you do it." She answered, "I try not to think about it".
