From early on we were determined to support people with dementia to have a say in decisions that affect their lives, as we believed that we all had a right for our voices to be heard.
One of our first projects was to make films with people with dementia. We originally wanted people with dementia to present a series of videos about dementia as way of challenging stereotypes about what they were capable of doing. …but people told us they were frankly bored with talking about dementia and wanted instead to make films about things they find more interesting.
We think the videos we eventually made carried a much more powerful message about the lives and aspirations of people with dementia, and broke down a lot more stereotypes than those we had originally planned. They were also a lot more fun.
We have found that this often happens when people with dementia are in control. ://www.youtube.com/user/InnovationsDementia/videos
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.
