Alzheimer and dementia

Since a few months I am working with an elderly lady who adopted a young dog. The combination between an elderly person and a seven months old dog can sometimes lead to problems.
In this case the lady was thinking she had acquired a "bad" dog, while according to me, it is only a "young and energetic" dog. However the lady is clearly willing to learn and change her behaviour regarding the dog. Bit by bit a much more harmonious relationship is developing between the lady and her dog. For that reason working with her offers me a lot of satisfaction.
Making her life every day a bit more complicated is the fact that her husband is an Alzheimer patient. At times he is very dizzy, his speech is slurred and his memory is fading.
In order to help her husband I have proposed the following combination of Natural Tissue Salts:

Nr 1 Calcium fluoratum, 5 tablets per day
Nr 3 Ferrum phosphoricum, 5 "
Nr 5 Kalium phosphoricum, 5 "
Nr 8 Natrium chloratum, 5 "
Nr 20 Kalium aluminium sulfuricum, 10 "
Nr 21 Zincum chloratum, 5 "

I also suggested to combine the NTS with the following remedies.

Homeopathy: Ambra D3, Calcium carbonatum, Conium, Arnica, Barium, Helleborus, Glonoinum, Plumbum.

Orthomolecular medicine: a complex of Vitamin B in high doses, zinc, selenium and lecithin

Phytotherapy: Ginkgo Biloba

According to dr Mercola a food supplement of natural Astaxanthin made from microscopic seaweed and Krill Oil will alleviate the effects of Alzheimer.(for more information visit his website)
