Right you are, caffeine really is only effective when it is accompanied by the alkaloids normally present. Pure anhydrous caffeine would not be the goal. Thanks! Hey Alex.

Consider, have the following genetic testing done: MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrafolate reductase). This particular genetic variant is closely associated with depression and cognitive dysfunction. If you happen to be homozygous for the gene variant C667T, you may respond to l-methylfolate 15 mg one per day. Hi, French Toast.

Remember when food actually improved health rather than caused disease? The Food Industry has hijacked our source of wellness and the last 100 years has been one grand experiment. Thanks!

I can commiserate with you. Staying healthy is spelled "respite". You need time away, time alone and time to "re-create". Burn-out is an ever-present danger. The rules of the "game" change with time and the needs of the person being cared for. That's why it's such a daunting task. It may seem counter-intuitive, however, you need to put <em>you</em> first and your husband "second", only in the sense that you cannot be caring and sympathetic without recovery time. One day, one hour, one minute at a time—it's how we live our lives. Hey, Anthony. I can commiserate with you. Staying healthy is spelled “respite”.

I wanted some sort of game plan or road map on how to manage his dementia; how to deal with the frustrations and disappointments of a constantly changing world; and how to stay healthy throughout this care giving journey. I know that it's a tall order and after 4 years of care giving I understand why the book hasn't been published.
