How to manage medications for your loved one with Alzheimer’sWritten by William Hammond, J.D.
First of all, remember that it is extremely important for your loved one to take his/her prescribed medications. Not doing so could cause both physical and mental problems and could lead to emergency room. How best to manage medication will depend on how much medication she takes, how many times a day she takes it and her ability to manage it.If your loved one is capable of taking her medication and just needs reminders, you can purchase some devices. One of them from ALR Technologies, http://www.alrt.com, is inexpensive and size of your palm. It is called Med Reminder. It uses a beeping sound and a visual signal as a reminder to take medication at prescribed time, day and night. You will find instructions on how to operate this device on above website. If on other hand, your loved one is in a stage where she cannot remember to take medication, then you, or someone else, for example a nurse or family member, will need to intervene and give it to her. In mid to later stages of Alzheimer's, you need to observe her taking medication. You should also watch her when eating, as people with Alzheimer’s disease begin to have difficulty swallowing as disease progresses. This is a real concern for those caring for them, as caregivers need to be constantly on alert to intervene if needed.

And every time they stop using product acne would come back again and again. What you need to do is find out what real cause of acne is and stop it. So what's real cause of acne? Acne occurs when your body contains more toxics than your kidneys and bowels can remove. (Your kidneys and bowels are two primary channels of elimination that your body expel toxics and waste products through.) These toxics can be accumulation of fat stored chemicals liver can not wash out or there may be a problem with fat digestion, fat accumulation, food allergy, or even accumulation of hormones that your body produces. Once these toxics build up, your kidneys and bowels can get overloaded and clogged up, causing it to not function properly. When that happens some of load will be dumped onto your liver.
