Greetings all. I thank you in advance for being here.

Just over a year ago my dh of 48 years came home from routine Dr appointment with memory loss dx. For months we both questioned it. But in this moment I see that it was correct.
Several weeks ago we had a difficult thing happen in our family. Significant enough to cause my husband and i tears over the anguish that our son experienced. 3 days later he did not remember it had happened at all.
So now I'm trying to prepare for this thing to take over our lives.
We are not happy with the American medical association. We have both been so disheartened by medical doctors and the pill pushing medical community and especially now, with drug security on the downfall that we will not seek that type of care. We will however, be using nutrition and naturopathy to assist us. At least at first we will not seek help from medical Dr's. Not ruling out there may be need for this type of intervention later on. But it won't be happening now. Especially not with the current administration in government.
Has anyone here any experience supporting this way of getting through this hard part of life?

I agree that our medical system has many problems and has for many years. They often push medications without looking at other options, or treat the condition not the patient, but if you work with a good doctor and they understand your position it is not to bad and it is better to have found a good doctor and have the relationship established beforehand. You do have to question why they are prescribing and do your own research but there is definitely a time when medications may be needed, not to treat the disease but to help control some of the symptoms.
