Some forgetfulness is a normal part of growing older, but it’s important to be aware of memory changes as they can be a sign of a serious problem. Along with memory changes, sudden changes to your loved one’s personality, such as paranoia and aggression, are often early signs of Dementia. For some, another early sign of dementia is having changes in vision. Your loved one may have trouble reading or seeing the differences in color. Other changes may include problems with speech and writing, poor judgment, having trouble with finances, withdrawal from social activities, and carelessness. Early diagnosis can assist you in getting help for your loved one.

While traditional healthcare has primarily focused on physiology, we are now seeing that energy and information control biology. In fact, frontier science proves that there is a regulating field of energy and information that operates in the physical body at the subcellular level. At NES Health, they call this the Human Body-Field (HBF), and they have researched its functions and structures for more than 30 years. In that time, they have discovered that the root causes of physical problems are distortions and blockages in the body-field, which serves as a master control system for all physiological function.

From childhood, we learn that our feelings don’t matter. Today, the world is mirroring this to us, in the issues that we are now facing in our communities. Our younger self learned that we don’t have a choice but to go along. Which means we learn to override our body sensations, our feelings, our needs, and our desires. As an adult you have the opportunity to unlearn this, and to give yourself full permission to feel the emotions that you haven’t allowed yourself to experience. To notice and identify that you have a choice about what is happening to you. To notice and ask for what you really want. To notice and say what you don’t want.
