NDP must win

Today we went to the NDP pot luck and auction. We went with Trevor’s Dad. They had a bake sale. He bought three pies and bought Trevor a new summer jacket. I got to meet other NDP followers. I talked to Michelle, who up for our MLA. She was in tears when we told our story. She recommended an advocacy group in Nelson. If she gets elected, she will help us herself. All three of us signed up to be going out to get votes for the NDP. We are also going to run the polls. Tuesday is the election. Michele is sweet. I was the first person to volunteer. She is angry at what BC has become. Senior’s here are losing the benefits too. There was a lot of them there. I am hoping and praying NDP takes it. We are hopeful for once. We believe that they can help us. We can all get the money we need.

Phosphatidylserine supplements: Can they improve memory?

Can phosphatidylserine improve memory and cognitive function in people with Alzheimer's disease?

Phosphatidylserine (fos-fuh-tie-dul-SEHR-een) is a dietary supplement that has received some interest as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease and other memory problems. Several studies involving phosphatidylserine indicate a benefit — improved cognitive abilities and behaviors. However, improvements in memory lasted only a few months and were seen in people with the least severe symptoms.
Initially, phosphatidylserine supplements were derived from the brain cells of cows. Because of concerns about mad cow disease, however, most manufacturers now produce phosphatidylserine supplements from soy or cabbage derivatives. Early studies, though promising, were based on cow-derived supplements. It's not known if plant-based phosphatidylserine supplements offer any benefits.
Keep in mind that the Food and Drug Administration doesn't require manufacturers to provide evidence of the potential risks and benefits of phosphatidylserine — or of any supplement. Consult your doctor before starting any dietary supplement.

Dinner

I had an NDP dinner tomorrow. At 5-7. We get to meet Michelle. She is running. It is a bar barbeque. Creston is begging for the NDP to make it better. Everyone is excited that I am going to volunteer for PAWS. I have always loved animals. I get that from my Mom. Dad is super excited too. The sweet people bought my 3 spring jackets and hoodie. My spring jacket broke. We had no money for another one. I went here today, they were all worried. This bother’s other people worse than me. I watched the dog whisper today. He had adoption rules for shelter animals. You need to have the same energy dog as you are. If you are active, a slow dog is not good for you. I raised 85 dollars so far today for cancer. Accept and learn from life. HD is a lesson. We learn how to live life. We learn what strengths we have. We grow. We have a demonstration of Rythmitic Gymnastics on the 22, at 7:00pm.

PAWS

I went to the dentists today. They saw me and Trevor as the couple form 50 first dates. They thought he would make me a movie every day, on how to brush my teeth. They will think of Trevor and me when they watch it. They thought it was horrible that I had dementia so young. I joined the Creston NDP party. Trevor and I are going to pot luck to meet Michelle. She is running for our rep. She is young and very nice. I have my badge. Put up my sign. This election will make our break our province. Right now if I fell, they could not haul me I an ambulance for free. They lay off nurse’s’ like Alice. The forestry sucks, it is because of them that this happened. I am so excited. I am volunteering at PAWS, the local animal shelter. What is sad, they had a hard time getting people to work with the animals. I go there on Tuesday. I will be in charge of filling and making adoptions. They are making a shelter. Soon as it is up, I get to be with the animals. Rythimtic Gymnastics, we are doing a Creston demo. We talked to Jim Abbot. We will get 50 dollars a month. My Dad said takes it. They can always give us more. Things will always work out. Time will tell how things will go. Keep waiting. It will happen. Our future has to get better. It will get better.

Amaryllis 2009

Amaryllis 2009

Now that spring has finally arrived, it’s time to celebrate by thinking about our signature Amaryllis plants coming into bloom. This annual fundraiser raises over $100,000 each year and provides much needed funding. With your support – and the dedication of other Amaryllis volunteers like you –our Amaryllis fundraiser raises critical funds for research, services, and education in the fight against Huntington disease.
Enter To Win!The 2009 Amaryllis campaign is well underway. To build momentum for this critical fundraising program, HSC is currently inviting people to participate on this year’s Amaryllis “team”! Please consider joining the Amaryllis Team and enter for your chance to win a $100 gift certificate at a local nursery. Orders can be placed by visiting the HSC website at

Just visit the HSC website to place an online order, or send an e-mail to amaryllis@huntingtonsociety.ca or phone 1-800-998-7398. For those who have additional questions about the Amaryllis contest, feel free to contact us by phone or e-mail.
Growing Our CampaignOur goal this year is to “grow” the number of orders over last year’s total and raise more funds than ever before. Increasing your sales is quite simple – if you could sell just one additional kit to each person who bought an Amaryllis plant last year, you could maximize your order! Or join our corporate amaryllis campaign by identifying organizations that might be interested in selling amaryllis or giving them to prospective clients or loyal customers. Realtors, Financial Planners, Banks, and Insurance Agents all might be willing to give Amaryllis’ away as a gift to customers as it’s a win-win proposition. The client is thanked, the company that gave the amaryllis is thought of over the six week growing period, and Huntington disease wins as the more successful our campaign is the more will help to advance our efforts in research, services and education. Each time an order is placed for an Amaryllis kit, it brings us one step closer to finding a cure for HD.
Our boxed Amaryllis kits make wonderful gifts and come complete with one high-quality Orange Sovereign bulb, growing instructions, soil, pot, and saucer – all packaged in an attractive gift box. Bulbs can be planted immediately or stored in a cool, dry place for holiday gifts. Approximately six to eight weeks after planting, you’ll be rewarded with those signature orange-red blooms that are guaranteed to brighten any room!
Delivery Dates Amaryllis will begin to arrive during the week of October 12, 2009, can be ordered to sell in your community – and we can help you every step of the way – or you can simply order a kit or two for your own enjoyment. Deliveries to the location of your choice are available on Wednesdays, Thursdays or Fridays until December 4, 2009.
