After attending several of our residential-based breaks, prominent dementia activist Nancy McAdam, who lives with dementia, let slip that one of her ambitions was to go white water rafting! Our team simply couldn’t resist that challenge, so this August we took Nancy and her great friend Agnes Houston to Morayshire on the north-east coast of Scotland - a place the two were already familiar with and very fond of, to raft the Findhorn. Based at The Loft Activity Centre, and staying in timber ‘wigwams’, they enjoyed a week of activities including a walk on Roseisle beach, yoga sessions, picking produce in the kitchen garden, dolphin watching, visiting Kinloss Abbey, and of course, the rafting! As you can see from the pictures, the weather was kind on the "Costa del Moray"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBWeT6COnRI
I battled advanced Parkinson’s disease for 8 years, starting at age 56. My symptoms included tremors, muscle stiffness, slow movement, and severe balance issues. Despite trying many conventional treatments, nothing brought lasting relief. Then I discovered the P-D treatment program from Dr. Madida Sam at Earth Cure Herbal Clinic. I found their contact at www.earthcureherbalclinic.com and reached out via email at info@earthcureherbalclinic.com. Within 6 months of starting the program, my symptoms were completely gone, something I never thought possible. I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Madida Sam and his team for helping me regain my life. If you're struggling with chronic illness and looking for an alternative approach, I highly recommend giving this a try. It truly changed everything for me.
