short term memory loss and terrible concentration issues

Hello,

So I have been dealing with some pretty serious cognitive issues for a while that have affected my life monumentally. They have affected me in accomplishing every day tasks, in holding down a job, in learning new things, etc. I have been dealing with it for about 2 years now without a solid diagnosis. It started with a disinterest in learning new things. I used to be a book worm and delighted at any thought of learning new things. I used to spend hours on wikipedia or sitting around reading science text books and so on. At some point that all changed and I just lost complete interest in learning anything. From there it went on to forgetfulness and terrible concentration. Spontaneously these problems have seemed to manifest to a point where it sometimes hard to get through a day doing anything. I have had problems at work, as I seem to have trouble registering new information, let alone recalling it. I have become somewhat of a lazy disorganized person all around as I can't seem to get myself together enough in lieu of all of this. What's worse is that I am only 25. I would hate to think this is the start of something devastating, at my age. You don't often here of dementia affecting people in their 20's. I don't even have a history of it in my family to begin with. I just have no clue what the reason is that I am having these problems.

Are you on any meds at all? And, how's your sleeping?

Hi Eore,
What people do not realize is that one's diet affects 99.9% of the problems they are experiencing.

I experienced many of the symptoms that you have shared and worse. Have you thought about documenting your diet intake? For example, what do you eat or drink first thing in the morning?
What do you snack on? What do you have for lunch? What is your afternoon snack? Do you drink alcohol? What do you eat for dinner?

The type of foods that you are putting in your body are more than likely contributing to your issues.

I have a pretty amazing story that I am working on documenting to share, but it will take time. I can tell you that it has taken me months to finally get to a place where I feel somewhat normal again and healthy. But it took work and a commitment. Is that something you are ready for?

Answer all of my questions and I'm pretty sure I can help you with next steps.

Hi somebodysomeone,
Thank you for your inquiry on my diet.

Most of my diet is eating mostly whole foods, organic, non-gmo and drinking mostly distilled water or spring water from a trusted source.

Let's start with water as this is very important to learn about. I started noticing cognitive issues after drinking what I thought was filtered water out of my faucet. I had bought a little GE filter that we installed under the sink and walla I thought I had filtered water. Wrong. While some of the water was filtered I started having a reaction to this water. It took me a while to figure this out but I started to drink Arrowhead distilled water to make sure there was nothing else in my water. This was important for me at the time and at times still is because I still have reactions when I drink any water that has fluoride in the water.

In the morning I drink an internal cleanser called which i mix with 100% organic non-gmo apple juice and distilled water or Arrowhead's mountain spring water. This is approximately 16 oz of liquid. After this consumption, I drink 16 oz of water. At first I used to fill so full, but my body has adjusted quite well. I love having this every morning because my body loves it and responds very well to remedy.

2nd I have a good breakfast. It ranges of eggs with vegetables, or oats, walnuts, and blue berries, or some kind of breakfast bar that I have made.

For lunch I usually have some kind of meat with vegetables and either some type of potatoe or rice.

Dinner i some times make a vegetable smoothy with rice milk and apples or do a vegetable soup. I eat a light dinner every night and usually vegetables. I only have my meat during the day usually before 3 or 4 pm. The reason for this is that my body does not process this protein very well at night. my body does very well with vegetable soups.

I do have treats, lots of treats, but they are treats that I mostly make because my body does not do well with chemicals, toxins, food colorings, etc.

Please let me know if you have specific questions. I will stay more aware of my e-mail.

Thanks for the inquiry. I hope some of this will help you.

Hi eore, I have had similar problems to you for more than 22 years. I was a heavy drinker and I know that wiped out a lot of the incredible memory that I was born with. I then suffered a stroke which killed the survival memory the drink did not kill. I have tried every vitamin that is supposed to help with memory and it does nothing. I also eat far more healthy than I did before the stroke, and that has done nothing to improve my memory.
I struggle to know what day it is, let alone the date, and constantly have to refer to my diary or my computer to figure out where I am in the week. Ask me what I did yesterday I do not know without working out what day it was then remembering what I normally do on that day, did I do that, if not what did I do. I cannot learn anything knew without constant ongoing repetition, if I stop doing it for maybe 2 weeks then I have no hope of doing whatever it was again, without help.
I cannot fix the brain damage, but I do suspect that if I could exercise as vigorously as I used to do, I believe that would help to improve my memory .
