One more thing, she also is constantly tearing from her eyes. We think it is because the eyelashes in her right eye turn inward, that is the eye she is blind in. I found that in the materia medica under borax and gave her it for a few days(6x) It seemed to help but I'm not sure. I don't know whether to continue that or not. Its the bottom eyelashes which turn inside. She hasn't had it for a few days and her eyes are gummy again, junk coming out of them or and tearing.

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".

I should mention that my mother was and still is a great mimic. She can do any accent. If I start talking to her in English, Russian, or Italian or French accent, she will respond likewise.

Your mothers constitutional is Natrium mur.

Calc phos fits the use of several languages, check it out, it fits also in the NM line.
I am not shure that this is mimicry, if she has learned those languages, but if she acts as a taperecorder, then its mimicry, and remedies fore that is:bell, cupr, hyosc, sars, stram, veratr. But that does not fit as a constitutional, in case there are several layers. A start treatment would then imply the use of agar, china, tuberculinum.

Taken a closer look at it, it seems to be calc phos first, and then Natrium mur.
How old is she? If very old, use calc phos cellsats first, then up to max x200, if needed up to m if she can take it, and then Natrium mur.

She is 78 but she has been taking remedies for 20 years. She speaks French and English only(tho my grandmother spoke 5 languages)It is spontaneous mimcry. I mean she makes up what the person would say, not as a taperecorder. She also is unable to cry. When her friend died I sort of had to walk her through crying by crying myself and encouraging her to do same. She then cried a very little,but not much. She couldln't cry when her mother died. When my father left the family when I was 9, though, I remember her crying and crying and crying one night with a friend by her side.I don't think she ever cried after that, at least I never saw her.

I'm going back to bed, talk to you when I get up.

My mother has had AD for about 4 years and has several remedies(Tarentula, and her constitutional Calc Carb). She was worse before,3 years ago with hallucinating and talking to photographs. She doesn't do that any more.(I had tried alumina and plumbum a couple of years ago and they did nothing).

These are her symtoms:

She moves things around from place to place, photographs, playing cards, folded napkins. She will sometimes give a packet of things to one of us, like a gift. Or she will arrange them on a dresser in a straight line. She walks very slowly(blind from Glaucoma in one eye) but she always walked slowly before. She is very careful in walking. If when we take a walk I try to pull her to walk a little faster she always resists with strength.

Sometimes she will sit in a chair, recently with her head kind of slumped over, for a long time, dozing. We don't know if its because she gets up in the middle of the night and wanders around the house or she is taking a rest from her moving things from place to place.

Can't leave toilet paper in the bathroom or she will take it and fold it in little pieces and hide them all over the house. She goes to day care l day a week and she will fold napkins there. Once I bought her l2 rolls of toilet paper and left them in the bathroom. 4 hours later they were all gone.

Her nose is constantly running a clear fluid. She used to blow it all the time(I think she hated using kleenex or toilet paper, like they were much too valuable to use in that way. Seems to run more when she is eating. Once it seemed to just pour out of her.

She ates to take any pills and will resist very well any attempts to get her to take any unless you tell her they are just to be sucked, not swallowed. She is suspicious if you try to get her to take anything or eat anything but will eat well on her own if left alone. If I put anything on her plate, extra food, she will get ticked off.

When I give her chocolate which she could probably eat none stop for hours, she always offers me some.


When her routine is changed she becomes very resistant. I take her out to eat once a week. Once I made dinner for her instead and she wouldn't eat it.

When my son and his wife went away for 5 days and I took care of her she wouldn't brush or teeth or let me give her a bath until the fourth day. Very very strong when she is resisting

She has a bald spot on the top of her head from scratching it so much, about the size of a us silver dollar. My daughter in law doesn't think it is from itching.She thinks she does it all the time and is just fixated on it.

She is always cold and will sometimes walk around the house with her coat on. But if its 90 degrees out she will complain of the heat. She hates having her hair washed. Hates the water coming over her head. Yells out "no, no,no".

Before she got ill she was taking care of a much younger woman who was very ill. This woman complained to my mother for 25 years. My mother always had a sympathetic ear for her but the woman would nag at my mother sometimes and my mother would mutter swear words under her breath, and get red in the face but would never get mad out loud or directly to the woman. She would be out of ear shot when she did it. When my mother was in her hallucinating period, this woman would call her and my mother would say, as if she was without AD, "yes, I know, I know, it will be okay". Even the day this woman died, my mother came out of her AD, and said " I think about you all the time". Sometimes I have thought that the only way my mother could end this relationship which became too much of a strain for her was by getting AD. Of on some level she knew that the woman was going to die soon. When I bring her name up now, she says, "oh, her" , like she was a nuisance.

I know there isn't a lot of hope for people in this condition but maybe some palliation.

I'm willing to try anything. Her own homeopath is getting too old, I think..and lives quite far away.

One more thing, my mother was obsessed with bread all her life, had to have good bread at every meal, french or italian. When I was younger she made my grandmother hide it after dinner and then around 9:00 at night she would beg her mother to give her the bread until she finally in a huff would go and get the bread for her.

I have just received an E Mail from Rochelle telling me that my description of Alumina fitted her Alzheimers Mother in Law to a T

As an Aluminium Sensitive who came a hairs breadth from Alzheimers myself at age 40 and the patient and pupil of a wonderful Homeopath who knew every Alumina symptom in the book and had plenty of " Alzheimers patients " leading normal lives

I suggest you look again at ALUMEN
plus use Sulphur to restart the system and Nux Vom to clear the liver

By all means discover the constitutional to aid recovery as well

But I challenge any Alzheimers patient to prove they had not been put there by the insidious absorption of Alumina via cookware or ALUMEN by addition to water supply

Unless you religously avoid ALL CONTACT with same sources ( this includes a very wide range of Food Manufacturing industry products .,]

the patient will not recover
