MY STORY... i TOOK MY FIRST COLLEGE CLASS WHEN OUR YOUNGEST DAUGHTER WAS A SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL.   I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED when I studied the BRAIN, ESPeCALLY WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE.  MY FATHER PASSED AWAY FROM ALZHEIMER'S, SO I HAVE BEEN AWARE AND CONCERNED   ABOUT MY MEMORY.  I WAS AROUND THE AGE OF 64 WHEN i BEGAN FEELING A DECLINE.   I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WHY MY MEMORY WAS SLIPPING.  I HAD an "AH-HA MOMENT" WHEN I LEARNED THAT IF HEARING IS DAMAGED, IT CAN EFFECT THE BRAIN/MEMORY.  IT MADE SENSE TO ME because i USed SAWS AND HAMMERS WHILE REMODELING OUR HOME WITHOUT EAR PROTECTION.           IT is likely THAT IS WHAT CAUSED THE  RINGING IN MY EARS.  I BEGAN LEARNING AS MUCH AS I COULD aBOUT PROTECTING MY HEARING AND LEARNED THAT THE BRAIN IS SUPPOSED TO BE FAIRLY EASY TO repair.   I WAS ENCOURAGED!  MY reSEARCH BEGAN AND  I SPENT A LOT OF TIME learning how to   heal my bRAIN.  i HAVE BEEN FASCINATED WITH WHAT I HAVE LEARNED.  there are MANY WAYS MEMORY CAN BE IMPROVED  AND for the most part, it was easy for me to correct the Behaviors, however,  It did take QUITE a while BUT  I was persistant!

​ MY PARENTING BOOK FOCUSes  ON AVOIDING EXPLOSIONS because it is easier than repairing the damage.  THere are many behaviors that are easy TO AVOID!  I USE THE ANALOGY OF "EXPLOSIONS" OFTEN IN MY LIFE NOW.   it is likEly that USING HEARING PROTECTION WOULD HAVE PREVENTED damage to my ears and eventually hearing loss!  I CREATED A LETTER FOR MY EXTENDED FAMILY and shared alot of the  INFORMATION that i learned concerning protecting the brain.   Being the youngest of my siblings, i hope that my  neices and nephews benefit from learning  what  I have learned.  I created material for the LETTER SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING THAT MENTIONS "FAMILY " or  "LETTER", THAT'S WHY and just so you know, It's  NOT worth my time to change it,  soooo what you see is what you get!

​              NOTE AS OF nOVEMBER 2024 -   I WENT WITHOUT THE cEREBRA FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND NOTICED THE BEGINNING OF A MEMORY DECLINE.   i WILL NEVER MAKE THAT MISTAKE AGAIN.  CEREBRA ABSOLUTELY MAKES A DIFFERENCE FOR MY MEMORY.
