The efforts by Silver Innings in raising awareness about Alzheimer’s have been relentless this month and before this month too. It’s team will continue tireless work afterwards also at national and international level too. Using innovative and unique ideas and efforts to raise awareness and aleeviate suffering of the affected elderly. As a Silver Innings team member met with Marc Wortmann, Executive Director, Alzheimer’s Disease International HQ, London and Team. This meet will give chance to explore new avenues and to share, learn and network for the cause of #Alzheimer’s and #Dementia. Also the team member brought a life-like infant doll from Care, Singapore, which was christened ‘Baby Chintu’. This innovative use of Doll Therapy amongst the A1 Snehanjali residents was effective in promoting healing and patients look happier and are more expressive.

  1. I have long felt a special connection with herbal medicine. First, it's natural, Charlie attended the same small college in Southern California - Claremont Men's College - although he dropped out of school to enroll in the Julliard School of Performing Arts in New York. York. Had he been to Claremont, he would have been senior the year I started there; I often thought that was the reason he was gone when he discovered that I had herpes. So, my life was lonely, all day, I could not stand the pain of the outbreak, and then Tasha introduced me to Dr. Itua who uses her herbal medicines to cure her two weeks of consumption. I place an order for him and he hands it to my post office, then I pick it up and use it for two weeks. All my wound is completely healed no more epidemic. I tell you honestly that this man is a great man, I trust him Herbal medicine so much that I share this to show my gratitude and also to let sick people know that there is hope with Dr. Itua.
