the article

THE ARTICLE
the article in the austin american-statesman was published today
here is the link to the article

this article was written after a 2 hour interview with me at my house
by mary roser the reporter for the american-statesman
she is very good at doing interviews
and seems to understand the essence of my story and captured it well

thanks to her for a good job

have decided not to do a regular blog today but to let this article be
my blog today as it does capture the essence of what i am and what
i want to do

if you are new to this blog read last fridays blog about how to
navigate some of my past blog postings

thanks to jeff carlton for writing the article for the ut southwestern
alzheimers research center and for helping arrange the interview
with mary roser
here is his article at this link see pages 2 and 4

am impressed with the professionalism that both these reporters
have and how well they seem to reach the essence of my story

in these times where newspapers and internet news and television
news are not using reporters any more to do stories
ive realized how important they are to getting the stories right

take the day today to think about alzheimers disease and how it
has affected your life and how it will affect your life in the future

get involved in some way

  2. Hello: Have you seen Dr. Hulda Clark's landmark book "The Cure for all Diseases"? This book covers Alzheimers extensively and I think if you look at her protocols and try them out, that you won't have to live with Alzheimers anymore. Blessings to you.

  3. Wow. I am highly skeptical of that book. Dewayne, are you or your wife in an Alheimer's support group? You are at the beginning of this journey and your best resource will be caregivers that have already gone through the alzheimer's battle with their own relative. I was the caregiver for my mother for four years and went through every stage of the disease. Hopefully for you it will be many years for the ugly side of the disease to manifest. Let me know if you have questions at all. We can exchange emails.
