OTC meds

I have literally spent a fortune on every miracle preparation advertised on TV and the Internet guaranteed to slow down, stop and even cure dementia/alzheimers. My advise is save your money. Not a single one has helped my wife one iota. How these companies can get by making these fantastic claims is beyond me.

Know how you feel my husband has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and on Aricept which thankfully DOES help However I know how disappointed and upset you fell about spending money on things that are useless, I do find that Better You Boost B12 spray in recommended dose definitely helps, doesn't cost too much and lasts quite a time. It can be sprayed onto food or in drinks (heat doesn't affect) Dr. says I'm just imagining things but I notice the difference if I don't give .. Of course check that B12 level is on the low side first, but I understand that what body doesn't need is passed out in urine. You know your circumstances best but I understand the need to fell one is doing SOMETHING. Good luck and heartfelt sympathy from one in similar circs.
