That is fascinating. When your father is staying with you, what would be the things you feed him? And also, what foods would you not?My father has dementia. In 2019 he came to me barely able to walk and didn’t remember his granddaughter or his ex-wife, he was was almost on death’s door. I knew nothing about his condition. Remarkably him staying with me, so I could desperately save him, he got better within a couple of weeks. During those months I noticed right away that he would regress when we would go out to a restaurant and he would eat his favorite fish tacos. He would get silent after eating, wouldn’t converse like he did before the meal and wanted to go home and sleep. It would take a good 36+ hours to get back to normal again, with just one meal of starches.
I kept him for 3 months and he lost 27 pounds and went back to his life, singing karaoke with his friends. I gave him and girlfriend strict instructions to keep him away from grains, but after one splurge he couldn’t remember the instructions anymore and she was too lazy and cheap to care to to feed him properly.
In that 2019 struggle with his health, those that didn’t live in my household with him could not believe that his memory loss was from grains, because every time he left my house to go back to his life he would stop and get his precious fish tacos, and would have all the symptoms of dementia by the time he got there, an hour later, and then he would sleep his days away. I would then get him back and do it all over again. So I am glad to finally see this documentary validating what I have been saying since 2019, Alzheimer’s patients need to stay away from grains period, and those that don’t want Alzheimer’s beware……
I only kept him from grains. Otherwise it was higher protein, raw whole milk and fruit. Everyday I would make him a fruit milkshake with raw milk, frozen fruit, lots of white sugar, a little vanilla extract and a pinch of flakes finishing salt. He would want it every morning and it was a good almost three cups worth. The rest of the day was scrambled eggs and ketchup, homemade bone broth soups, macadamia nuts for snaking, chocolate, wings, shrimp, grass-fed beef, fish, cheese plates and such. Everyone in my world said, “ he doesn’t have Alzheimer’s.” One day his brother kept him while I was away for a couple of days, and where his grain loving brother didn’t believe me and fed him grains anyways, this one particular day they were gonna be out all day and night and he was worried how my dad was gonna get past breakfast. So he decided to heed my words and gave him just a protein breakfast minus the toast and off they went out, with him being perfectly normal and energetic. After shopping all morning and early afternoon they stopped for a late lunch with my dad suggesting fish tacos, as always. My uncle said by the time they got back in the car to carry on with the rest of their day, my father was quiet, and only nodding yes and no to questions and wanted to go home. He sept the rest of the day until the next morning. Finally his brother was convinced that the grains were causing his memory issues.That is fascinating.

I know that corn knocks me for a loop. Recently I've been having steel cut oats hoping for some itch relief. Are those good, or no?
Sprouted is better than steel cut?A few years back I had a rash on my forearm that would flare up with a vengeance when I ate certain foods, and corn was one of the worst offenders, and why wouldn’t they? Corn is one of the most altered foods we have. As far as the oats go I buy sprouted oats for oatmeal. You can buy sprouted popcorn too! The texture is so delicate and wonderful, and so so easy on the digestion.
In an interview I posted elsewhere, Ray Peat says yes, sprouted is very good, and better because it becomes more of a plant food rather than a grain/starch, and won’t take minerals from the body like unsprouted grains do. People that eat grains and don’t get enough calcium usually get a lot of bone and teeth problems too.Sprouted is better than steel cut?
