Alzheimer's Mom seems to talk non-stop. Any advice?

I sit with a male Alzheimer's patient whom talks nonstop but no real words , made up words so no one knows what he is talking about right how to help him. He can stay awake 36 hours straight talking like this, so far the doctor has found no melds to help him sleep or to stop the rambling talk that no one can understand.

Hi, everybody. I don't post much, but I read everything. I have something in common with most of you - The talking probléme, too. My God, if I have to listen to another, " Every man on Earth is/was after me" story, or another account of 1941, I think I'll have a fit.

But that's not why I'm writing, I couldn't find a way to start a new thread, my brain is pretty well shot, and I'm filled with some pretty bad resentment,

I read this comment, and noticed my account details; I'm not too active here, but so many people liked my comments and sent me hugs. As you know, that's just a lovely boost so thank you. Sorry this is in the wrong place. Thank you all so much, and hang in there. I swear it, hang in there. This group is great. May whatever you believe in bless you very much.

Love.

Definitely not unusual for them to have conversations but having her meds checked/adjusted my be a good idea. Also, is she getting enough sleep and water, both sleep deprivation and dehydration cause episodes of confusion and hallucinations and have been known to exacerbate any mental/cognitive condition

I wouldn't look too hard. I have to admit it is one of my least favorite songs by him. Some of his Black Star is okay; the rest is odder than normal.

Yes I can relate. Mom was one of these people that life blessed with intelligence and a strong work ethic. I haven't heard that Bowie song but I will find it and listen.

lindacay, my mother makes things about herself, too. Was your mother ideal and do only good things? Yours sounds like she held virtue high on her list. Reminds me of the new David Bowie's song "Sue" about wanting to have Sue the Virgin written on the headstone even though there was a son. (Don't ask me what the song is about. I never know what Bowie is talking about.)

I am taking care of my mom with the same issues. She talks about her life and makes up most of it. She wants to talk about her sex life or non-sex life because according to her she's had sex 2 times when she got pregnant with me and my brother. She says my sister-in-law is trying to get my brother to put her in an institution which is not true. If I try to tell her this she gets mad. I know that it will only get worse and try to just listen, but it is difficult some times.

Since your posts are at the end of another older thread, you might not get as many responses as you would if you started your own thread. Just a tip.

Also, I'm afraid I don't much about the meds your wife is on. I suppose that if she seems to be in mental discomfort, I might consult with a doctor who could evaluate the cause and adjust her meds. Is her primary writing her prescriptions now?

My cousin was very talkative in her earlier stages of dementia. She has Vascular mixed with Alzheimers. She talked incessantly and at times was quite anxious. She went on Cymbalta, which treats pain, anxiety and depression and there was a great improvement. It brought her a lot of contentment and she no longer talks that way. She is now in the severe stage. She can talk, but usually, only if you ask her questions and even then, she doesn't elaborate.

my wife is talking constantly now. usually incoherent but not always. dr. suggested stopping exelon patch. i amwondering about seeking elder psycharist but not sure will help. anybody have similar issue
/ wife in last stage alzheimer/dementia and at home

my wife in latter stages alzheimer/dementia. was on exelonpatch. dr. recommended stopping it. she talks constantly lately makes little sense much of time but not all time. i usually just let this run its clurse and some times does stop. i havent had her go to psychatric specialist yet as not sure i trust meds. she diagnosed 3 1/2 yrs ago had much longer.

Have you talked to the doctor about this behavior?

I should have added that everything he says is jibberish.

My husband is in late stage alz and talks nonstop as if he were giving a sermon all day. No one at the assisted living home has ever seen this. He also has no interest in anything except destroying things.

I know this post is over a year old, but I just found it. My mother also talks non stop and it is beyond annoying. She listens to nothing, demands responses, gets angry when we don't answer, but if we do, she talks right over us.... very difficult.

Jelly Lou - I started this thread and I want to update you with something that changed. My 84 year old mother with Alzheimer's Disease had been seeing a geriatric psychiatrist for a while, but was becoming more and more agitated about 6 months ago. I was lucky to find a different geriatric psychiatrist recommended by an adult day center, and she finally moved my mother onto 0.25 mg of Seroquel. That really has made a difference in her behavior.

Dear Jelly Lou,

I'm sure many can sympathize and emphasize with your situation.

Please allow me to call to your attention that you have posted within a thread where the title of the topic isn't actually the problem you have, which was originally started in January -- nearly 12 months ago, where the most recent response is already 3 months old, and where there are already over 50 answers.

While it is possible that some members may find this and answer you, it is so deeply embedded into someone else's situation, the majority of members who could help you are probably not going to run across your question and any answers are not likely to be found later by somebody else looking for help on your same issue.

Just a suggestion, mind you, but I feel it would be better if you would post your question as a new topic.

For my part, to address your question, my mom and I were able to keep my mild-mannered dad at home until he became violent. Up until that point, he not only required a lot of attention, didn't care for us doing anything that took us away from him (hence, he would get up and follow), plus he required a lot of supervision to prevent him from doing anything harmful to himself or destructive to home or property. As his caretakers, my mom and I could use diversionary tactics since there were two of us. The bottom line is that you will probably need some level of assistance to keep him home. It's very difficult to do it completely by yourself. And it will become more difficult as time goes by.

I know it isn't a merry or happy time for you, so I will just wish you peaceful holidays.

Carol

My husband is in the later stages of Alzheimer's. He constantly follows me like shadowing. talking and babbling. I really need advice. I am trying to care for him at home. But this is hard. Before AD he was a very quiet man . Thks

This has just become my reality in the last three days! Momma began talking at bedtime and I would ask her to keep it down. She was able to do so for the first few nights. Tonight however, it has gone on for HOURS! She is creating nonstop scenarios in her head and is talking so loudly I can't sleep. She is on Namenda and I will be stopping it until I can get her seen by a doctor (Monday morning!) It is comforting to know that this is a "normal" stage.

If she is becoming physically aggressive and may harm you, it may be time to look for more intensive care. If she raises the scissors to you and you fear she may use them, the best thing to do would be call 911 and have her taken to a hospital that has a geriatric psych department. She can be held for evaluation, and they may be able to find a medication that will calm her down. Some of the worse phases of dementia may be transitory, but damage can be done if the phases are not managed well. A geriatric psychiatrist may be able to help you a lot. Good luck, SHyziak. Please let us know what happens.

My mother-in-law and her sister liver with us. The sister has later stage Alzheimer's and dementia and has been taking a mild anti-anxiety med for the last 4 or 5 months. She remains pretty even-keeled when she gets her doses every day, but miss one or even be late with giving it to her and we come apart at the seams. For the last 5 or 6 days the meds haven't been able to touch things. She talks non-stop to her "friend", and the conversation is very unusual. She talks about her babies (she's never been married or had children), about her babies being dead, about her father hurting her and/or the babies, and she's started to become excessively nasty to us (we're used to the cursing under her breath but things have become bad quickly). Tonight while trying to get her into bed, she became physically aggressive toward me (and normally I'm the "nice one" and she is very happy to do what I ask of her) - pushing me, getting right in front of my face cursing and yelling at me, and she even picked up a pair of scissors on the dresser and actually raised them at me. My MIL is afraid to be alone with her now and she is the primary caregiver. Has anyone ever experienced such physical and threatening behavior? What helped? Even though tomorrow is Sunday, you bet her doctor will be receiving a call.

Calming music does help, so give it a try , it may relax your family member (I showed my father in law the music channels on our cable tv, he has the channels he likes written down.

I notice "Soundscapes and light classical work better", odd cause he was a country singer his whole life & never listened to anything but Country???

I hear a big difference in his "mumbling/chattering/talking out loud" when he is listening....music seems to calm him.

I was told his "chatter/mumbling/talking out loud " is a form of "Terrets" , which is not just about cursing. He don't know he's doing it....."I myself go into shakes when he has a bad day with it " ! Feel like ripping my hair out it gets so bad.....

When his oxygen is "low", it TEN TIMES WORSE! Which he sleeps with Oyxgen, but he tends to pull if off...thus leaving him by morning with more confusion and a "very long day" of chaos because he's more confused/agatated and the. "Terrets or talking out loud" is actually "severe".

If they need Oyxgen you don't give them a choice on wearing it, the brain cells need Oyxgen to survive!

As brain cells die, there is "no way" they are coming back and their demenshia /alzheimers / talking out loud is "amplified", really bad here !

So with me, as I "run my roost , under my roof & my rules " & make it clear if your not wearing the Oyxgen at bedtime , I can gladly move you elsewhere and you will have three shifts of aides /nurses strapping it all day to you".

he then will wear it!

"No it's not mean, he does know he needs to be wearing it & I sve explained he is loosing brain cells by not wearing it! "I don't lie about his health when explaining to him, as we should not"!

Our job also is to watch independancies including things that may seem so little as putting on & keeping on his Oyxgen at bed time! We do peek in at night to see if on too!

Aspecially when I have to drive him somewhere , and may sound weird or you may think mean (but his hearing ain't that great anyway ), I have to crank up my car stereo just to drown out the Terrets or "chitter- chattering"!

And using good old rock & roll ! But I'm driving and need to relax and it stops him some ?

Ok, the patch he refused , so never got to try. I have heard of odd side effects though '. I demanded something to give him, doctor gave "Ativan" (we hide all narcotics /etc from him). Well, we "dispense his meds now , after too many times of double dosing or forgetting doses, pills on the floor .

Well, Ativan was at lunch , and I kept finding little white pills on my floors. Not far from where he sits for lunch ?

We have "fur kids", I cannot worry about them accidentally ingesting them. So I questioned him "why" his pills where on the floor and then made him take them.

"Then"....I really wanted to see "how pills were getting on the floor". After setting him at the table for lunch in my breakfast room, I as well set his noon time meds near him too.

Then sat on my kitchen floor (where he couldnt see me) and sat with my cell phone ( to video tape) and watched him eat and take his meds. "He was pulling the Ativan out intentially and tossing it on the floor"! Which I taped on my phone!

Soon as I seen it, I stood up, and confronted , then made him watch the video, called his doctor, took the video there for him to see as well!

As his caregiver and "Full POA", we (hubby and I ) were told to hide in his food as we see needed! "Havent done it yet, but came pretty darn close "!

Told my father in law his irresponsibility was now unacceptable to possibly hurt my fur kids (they were here before him....and our kids, so he goes over them)!

Told him think he needs to live in a home if that's how he will be, I have "no time" for an adult with independence (even a small amount) in his grips. I know he got scared , because ”I do not joke, say it up front, and make it clear"!

"If you have independencies you sure as heck better use them"!

When you loose "all" independencies, it's time for ful time care, no question .

One human cannot be "three shifts" of nurses, aides, cooks, med nurses, personal care needs, etc! And we get paid "Nothing" to do alot of this.

Try calming music (softly) seems to calm down the "Terrets/mumbling/talking out loud"....and see if it works ? Soft classical or Soundscapes works good here , for now .

And will hide the ativan in his food when we see fit (do not leave them alone on this drug, in fact in bed or a recliner woud be best, they can get very relaxed) Again, I have not heard anything positve on the patches.

Thanks Jeffery and Sujean. Some good ideas for me to try with Mom. Jeffery, glad to hear the Mirtazapine helped your Mom. I'm going to start tomorrow night with a small dose. 1/2 tablet of the 15 mg. It may not be enough, if you were using 15 and then had to go up to 22.5. Hmmm. Well, I'll start out low, and see what happens and move slowly up. I plan on trying the Carlos supplements too. Thanks again, and my very best wishes to you both.

Braida - we have two bedrooms on our second floor, one that I adapted for my mom, and the other one for my wife and I. Both have bathrooms. I originally tried to have a baby gate at the steps and between the bedrooms for night time. But the night time barrier did not work for me either, so I had to resort to a dutch door for her bedroom, which was necessary to prevent nighttime wandering, including into our bedroom while we were sleeping to ask us if it was time to get up, etc. I have a 2 way baby monitor in her bedroom, and when she asks if it is time to get up (in the middle of the night), I can tell her to go back to sleep. I can also look in through the open top of the dutch door to make sure she is OK, and of course she can look out the dutch door too and see us so she doesn't feel "shut in." When she finally goes to bed, the top half stays open and bottom stays closed until I open it. The bedroom for my wife and I is down the hall. We have a motion detector light in the hallway connecting our bedrooms, so I have the top closed a crack so light does not pour in her bedroom, when I or the cats go do the hallway. I didn't like having to put a dutch door on her bedroom, but I ran out of choices. At one point I was getting up 3-4 times a night and helping stop her from wandering, even with a baby gate at the bedroom stairs. I would prefer to have something different than the dutch door and keep her entire bedroom door open all night, but even with a bed alarm (which I used to have going off all the time), it wasn't enough at night. We too are starting to try Mirtazapine. We started with Mirtazapine 15 mg (one tablet), and our doctor now wants to try another half pill to go to Mirtazapine 22.5 mg. We did that last night for the first night. It seemed to help my mother sleep better for once!

Braida, I feel your pain. I mentioned earlier that my mom is the same way. It is nerve racking as you cannot get any time to yourself. The only way I kept her from getting up at night was to sleep with her and I did for a year. My mom was scared to sleep by herself and she also got up in the middle of the night thinking it was time to get. up. I now go to bed with her at 8pm and we turn lights out and watch tv. She falls asleep at about 9pm and I hide a big pillow and blanket to look like Im sleeping in the bed. Then I creep quietly out the door. Then at 6am I sneak back in so she doesn't get up without someone. She was getting up at 7am and finding a mess in her room and sometimes feces on the floor. So now I take her to the bathroom and make her lay down some more. It is hard to keep her entertained. She likes to look at magazines and talk to the people who she thinks is her friends. She did that for 2 hours this morning. The constant talking about nonsense things can really be distressing. I am thankful that she does sleep at night. She takes Zyprexa 5mg at bed and that keeps her asleep all night. I also put some lavendar essential oil on her pillow. I have been giving my mom the glucuronolactone for about 2 weeks and I can't say that it has helped much. Carlos says that if you don't eat a certain diet it wont work. My mom has trouble eating much, so I am not able to work on that much. Here she comes after her nap and talking nonstop. Oh boy, I really hate this disease.

Wow, I've been on this thread for quite some time this morning, feeling desperate to come up with something to "settle my Mom" down especially AT NIGHT, when my husband and I are attempting to sleep. Very interesting reading Jeffery and Kala. My Mom isn't quite so verbal and loud, however she is a non-stop energizer bunny, and also wants to be engaging in conversation about this, that, and the other constantly, interrupting news shows I may be trying to watch, interrupting my phone calls, I have to put up baby gate barriers so I can get a bath, or use the bathroom, etc. She's always calling for me...if she can't see me, she calls out, "Where are you??" I'm in the middle of trying things to divert her attention. One thing that has really worked well for me is to give her baskets upon baskets of folding. For some reason, the task of folding the clothes (napkins, placemats, towels, you-name-it, seems very relaxing to her. Almost hypnotic. And she takes great pride in the finished product. But, the sleep deprivation, mentioned w/ Jeffrey and Kala, has become a huge issue that if I don't find a solution for, I'll go crazy, and have to place her in a memory care facility....which I really don't want to do. She goes to bed at 8:30. She's exhausted by then. (finally) So, as mentioned by J. and K., I then glom onto that period of time to do my own things. Finally peace to read, watch a show, go online, and so on. I don't go to sleep until 11:00. Then, POP goes the weasel, about 1AM, 2AM, 3AM, 4AM, 5AM....she comes to our hallway and softly calls my name. I call out, "I'm TRYING to sleep Mom. It's nighttime! Go back to bed please." She says, "Oh, sorry. I thought it was time to get up." And back to her quarters she goes. And up she pops again...just as I am getting back to sleep, with the entire scenario being repeated. It's crazy. And then when I finally get up in the morning, giving up on capturing any more sleep, there she is sitting in a comfy living room chair, all bright eyed and busy tailed, saying "Good morning! How are you this morning??" I am all groggy and feeling extremely grouchy, and try to put on a cheery face but it's tough. Then I try to talk about her keeping us awake all night, and she can't believe it. Last night I put up a barrier at the hallway outside her area so when she opened up her apt door to our family room, she'd encounter this barrier. It was two chairs and an easel with a big sign that said, SHHHH. SLEEPING. I spoke to her about the plan prior to her going to bed. I showed her the barrier, and told her it would be a reminder to her when she opened her door that she should not come and awaken me, as it would still be dark, and we would be asleep. She understood completely, and said she would most definitely not disturb the barrier and come to awaken me. Hmmmm. Surprise! It didn't work. She moved right through the barrier like a steam roller.

I read the detailed natural solutions that Carlos posted and I'm thinking of giving it a try. My Mom takes a small dose of Lexapro at 4PM. (it seems to help her sundowning anxiety behavior which was happening around that time.) I have Mirtzapine which I'd asked her Dr. about, and he prescribed, but I haven't given it to her yet. The plan was to give at bedtime. My reservations about giving it to her are worries about her being groggy with it, getting up to go to the bathroom and falling, or sleeping and NOT getting up to go to the bathroom, then having a bed wetting incident. However....I'm desperate, and may have to give it a try tonight. As well as looking into those Carlos solutions...Glu....whatever it is. Sounded very helpful!! If it works the way Carlos described it.....WOW! Nothing ventured, nothing gained. But it'll take time to order it, get it, and then another 15 days or so to see results. Whew. I may not last till then with sleep deprivation issues. On top of trying to deal with all this other dementia stuff, the sleep deprivation only exacerbates everything. HELP. Good luck Jeffery, Kala, and all of you who have been on this thread.

KalaFW1 - that may be the same issue I have. Your description of your situation has a lot of similarities to my mother. I have tried a couple of tricks: (1) Action movies - I have tried to get her to watch action movies to distract her and that will quiet the house for an hour sometimes. One Sunday, we had a Bruce Willis action movie marathon. There was very little talking. It was such a god send. God Bless You, Bruce Willis. (2) Wrestling - I have started to get her interested in professional wrestling and that also hold her attention for about 30-45 minutes. This Saturday night, I got her to a professional wrestling match. For an entire hour, she watched it in person and was delighted. Now in terms of "quiet time" for me - I do the same thing. I only get 5 hours of sleep so I have an hour or so to read or think at night with everyone sleeping. I really don't know what to do about it. I try to get her worn out with activity, action movies, anything, so she will sleep at night, and eventually she does. But you might want to try the action movies, that really worked for me.

same problem here with caring for my 89 yr old father. I moved in with him to care for him full time. He's always been very egotistical, narcissist to the max. He has has never cared for anyone else's problems and he has always taken life in stride. His way or No Way. Demanding. With Alzheimer's and Dementia, his normal behavior has just escalated to new heights... he hasn't gone more than 3 minutes without talking for over 3 1/2 months...honestly I have timed it. Headphones don't work, music doesn't work, TV doesn't work....he wants a reply when he's talking and wants you right in the same room where he is 24 7. If you ignore, he becomes LOUD and mean. Doc has him on 2 ALZ dementia meds and also small dose of ativan. Nothing is working. He's hyper from the time he wakes to when he falls asleep,never wanting to sit still, take me here, wheel me there, do this, do that, fix this, drive me here, take me home, check mail, comb my hair, make this list...the list is endless and never stops on his demands to be constantly moving and he never seems to run out of energy! He was in a nursing home for 2 months and was becoming frail and looked awful, losing weight, stayed in a more confused state that we had ever seen him...I thought that his ALZ/Dementia was advancing to where he was leaving this constant chatter/activity stage and brought him home, thinking I could handle him better if he was no longer so verbal and loud and demanding...where he promptly became Slave Master Mr Never Stops Talking or Singing or Whistling...all day. Again. If I give him headphones to listen to an old song he likes, he starts singing with it, takes off the headphones and begins talking about something else. He may watch TV for 2 minutes then begin another repetitive story. If I am on the phone, he interrupts within seconds, 'who is it' and says "Hang up now, you don't need to be on the phone". If I am talking to my husband, our home is nearby and my husband tries to come over to give me a break for a shower, my father has a total hissy, interrupting us talking, once again bringing the attention back to HIM. He has never been a person who lets stress bother him. He certainly doesn't display any signs of anxiety or stress by speech or behavior. He's just VERBAL non stop. We are now at the point of checking finances to have dad put back into the nursing home. I'll sell my house and live in the car if I have to. I've already had to quit my job; at age 59, there are slim chances I could ever find another job. I'll continue to follow this thread in hopes that there is something out there that I can try which will quiet him some...all I ask is a few minutes of peace and quiet. I have cut my sleep down to 4 to 5 hours a night just so I be awake before he gets up so I can have a cup of coffee without jumping up to the next demand and to be bombarded with the constant singing, whistling, talking...plus since he is hyper sexual, always has been, it isn't safe to be in a prone position and wake up to him around you, and I stay up late after he falls asleep to just get online and look for help and answers....I am sleep deprived, punch drunk dizzy, but at least it is quiet for a few hours. There are no other family members available to care for my father; the few that have tried gave up due to his constant banter/demands and talking. I have had maybe 15 hours of time away from this house, and him, in the last 2 months. I am open to any suggestions.

Dear Sujean

Thank you very much for your reply.

In summary I wrote :

I will send to you again my email AS A HUG in your wall, to talk about more details , that you can send to the PHYSICIAN of your mother , to he makes an deep analysis , and to the PHYSICIAN of your mother will gives or NOT , permission and supervision to use that supplements.


1)I asked if you talked to the physician of your mother, to asks his supervision and permission, before to gives any supplement , or drugs or foods to your mother.
Please , do NOT gives NONE food, NONE food suplement or NONE kind of supplement,, or NONE medicine drug without the permission and supervision of PHYSICIAN of the patient.

2)We made some adaptations to the breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner of my aunt, under her physician and her nutritionist, supervision , prescription and permission, to gives a low fat diet , but with complex carbs (beans, rice,pasta, red potatoes,etc) and low fat meat, chicken without skin, and fish ,all cooked in water and small and controlled amounts of salt, cooked without oils , without skins and without fats, to get the better results with glucuronolactone.
I guess so that I’m taking so much space here , and I guess that the best it is to change e-mails, where I can expklain with more detalis , and you can talk to the physician of your mother about to get his permission and supervision in the use of the supplements.
I guess that maybe , most of the information that I sent to you by your wall did not went to you .
I guess that glucuronolactone only works with a low fat diet, without flavorings and without conservatives of foods. For example , if the applesauce has some conservative , it impairs the glucuronolactone effect.
Yes , the best is starts with the first dose of the day on an empty stomach.( about a half hour before breakfast. )
Unfortunatelly that peanut butter (that is pure fat) and the cinamon impairs the effects of glucuronolactone.
The foods that we are giving tom y aunt , that worked for her to get a better body mass, strengh and a normal weight , I described in the comments of the article in this site AGING CARE , of Dr. Amy Ehrlich, MD, with the title : THINK TWICE ABOUT GIVING ELDERS NUTRITIONAL DRINKS OR SHAKES”. The article was published in Agingcare,com in may,2010. I put my comment in January 17,2014.
I put a comment there , with the foods that my aunt is eating in the comments of the article of agingcare of Dr. Amy ehrlich MD publishes in January 17,2010 with the title : “THINK TWICE ABOUT GIVING ELDERS NUTRITIONAL DRINKS OR SHAKES” .
I put my comment in January 17,2014.
That foods that I pasted there, and that my aunt eats , made without oils or fats , do not impairs the glucuronolactone effects and she gained body mass, weight and strengh.
It was made by the physician and by her nutritionist for her , and it is working for her.
But it do NOT means that patients that eat the same foods, it will works too.

It is all under her physician and a nutritionist orientation, supervision and permission.
Please , do NOT gives NONE foods, or NONE supplements or NONE medicine drugs without the permission and supervision of the PHYSICIAN of the patient.This is only an anedoctal report , without None scientific foundation, The responsability for the use of the supplements, medicine drugs , foods ,etc ., it is exclusively in the hands of who takevthat foods, supplements and drugs. Follow only the what the physician of the patients , prescribes and only the physician’s advices. Do only what your doctor or what the doctor of the patient ask to you to do.

Carlos, Yes, I have read everything that you have written to me. I didn't know if I should be taking so much space here, since it is off topic. I have been writing to you on your wall, and I thought you write back on my wall. I don't know the proper etiquette. Thank you for you tips. I only give her the smidge spoon in a teaspoon of applesauce. That should not be too much to work. She is not so good with juice, but I can try it if you think the teaspoon of applesauce will not work. I did not know that it had to be on an empty stomach. You said, about a half hour before breakfast. My mom usually has peanut butter and honey and cinnamon toast for breakfast. I was trying to get her to have some protein with the peanut butter. I know that peanut butter has fat, so what do you think? I will keep you informed and if you can think of any other tips let me know. Let me know how we can communicate? I did not see your email address?

Dear Sujean

I really do not knows if you are receiving my replies to you , answering the questions that you made to me.
Can you tell me if you read a reply that I put for three times in the “HUGS” ?
Can you tell me if you read the message that I put in the HUGS in 1/18/2014 , answering a loto f questions for you? I made long and detalied explanations about the doubts that you asked me before.
And the message that I put in your “HUGS” in the 1/19/2014 , did you received that? It is too a long and complementary text that I gives detailed explanations too.
Can you tell me if you received in the “HUG” that two long and detalied explanations of a “HUG” of 1/18/2014 and a “HUG” of 1/19/2014? In that two long texts there are some very importante detalis about the supplements.
I guess that you can keeps trying THE GLUCURONOLACTONE FOR A COUPLE MONTHS and the others supplements , until you reach the better doses and the better moments of the day to gives it.
1) Your First Question :” I gave the first dose the smidgen spoon in a tablespoon of applesauce.
Reply : The best , as recommended in the site of Pure Bulk , it is to gives the glucuronolactone at morning with an empty stomach, putting the glucuronolactone in aprox.. 80 mililiters of water , if possible with a tea spoon of sugar(if the patient it is not diabetic), or with the glucuronolactone dissolved in a weak solution of water with some natural apple juice made by you from fresh apples in a juicer.
