A Single Father’s Mission To Find A Cure To Save His Only Daughter

Rejected and turned down by almost every doctor, this single father decided to take matters into his own hands to find a cure to save his precious daughter, who became known as one of the youngest dementia patients ever recorded.

Up until the age of one, it seemed like little Celine developed normally, but on the day that she turned four, everything changed. She was robbed of all of her bodily functions, and she couldn’t even breathe or swallow food on her own.

But thanks to her father’s relentless efforts, she finally regained her life and even became the youngest winner in the World Memory Championship!

The most powerful computer known is the brain. With more than 100 billion cells, it is more complex than anything mankind has ever studied. Yet, it weighs only about three pounds. Remarkably, despite its relatively small size, it consumes around 20% of the oxygen we breathe and 20% of the energy we consume.

However, as a person gets older, changes will occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. Over time, the brain may dramatically shrink, which affects memory, learning, and other cognitive functions.

Dementia is caused by damage to or loss of nerve cells and their connections in the brain. While it is usually found in adults, dementia can also affect children. Both adult Alzheimer's disease and childhood dementia are brought on by an abnormal buildup in the brain, which can disrupt communication between nerve cells and cause brain inflammation (Sauer, 2019).

Dementia in children progresses with time. They gradually lose the skills they've already mastered, like the capacity to write, read, talk, walk, and play. Additionally, their brains become less capable of maintaining the body’s functions and, eventually, unable to keep the body alive.

In order to prevent plaque formation and to enhance the brain’s ability to heal itself, it is essential to protect and clear the neuron cells from abnormal buildups in the brain (“Lemon Balm for the Ageing Brain - viridian-nutrition.com,” 2020).

Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) is a perennial herb, native to the Mediterranean regions. John Evelyn in the 17th century stated that “Lemon balm is sovereign for the brain, strengthening the memory, and powerfully chasing away melancholy” and Thomas Cogan in 1584 recommended to his students that they drink Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) tea to clear their heads, increase their concentration, and sharpen their memories.

One of the main active constituents of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) are volatile compounds called phenolic acids, which contain Rosmarinic acid (RA).

Rosmarinic acid (RA) (C18H16O8) is an antioxidative principle of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm). RA protects brain cells by inhibiting acetylcholine esterase activity and attacking the formation of amyloid plaques in the brain. It is also linked to elevated levels of the neurotransmitter GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) by inhibiting GABA-transaminase (GABA-T), an enzyme that degrades GABA.

When inhaled, Melissa officinalis (lemon balm) protects the brain from oxidative damage and stimulates circulation to remove unwanted plaques (Cronkleton, 2022).

Overall, helping to protect the brain against cognitive decline, and depression while improving learning abilities and memory.

Additionally, it promotes nerve rebirth which not only speeds up recovery but also enhances memory and problem-solving skills (Naseri, 2021). As well as boosts positive mood by lowering stress hormones.

Joseph Delmont, 59, was an airline captain before his life took a heartbreaking turn when he was diagnosed with dementia. It all started when he would get confused when trying to recall certain important events, such as his wife’s birthday and even the names of his children. He gradually began to lose memories about his life and was unable to remember how to fly a plane, which led to stress and mood swings.

Below is his 15-day recovery journey with Melissa officinalis (lemon balm)

Day 3

He instantly felt relaxed and less agitated, which enhanced his motivation to regain his memory. The aroma of Melissa officinalis (lemon balm), which is uplifting and brain-stimulating, clears his mind and makes him feel less tired and drowsy.

Day 7

Ever since Joseph started inhaling Melissa officinalis (lemon balm), he feels less disoriented and less foggy than before. He no longer has any trouble keeping track of the time and date, which he previously struggled with. His family members were astounded when he started calling out their names! When his daughter showed him pictures of his coworkers, he recognized every single one of them and even remembered their full names.

Day 10

Thanks to the miraculous healing herb, Joseph is finally ready to fly again. His family has never seen him this motivated and excited about life. Recently, he successfully flew the hardest and most advanced aircraft in the world and also went on to become a winner in the National Air Race.

“When I could finally fly again, I cried. To others, being able to fly a plane may not mean much but this passion means the world to me. I truly believe that this herb can do wonders to help others suffering from the same condition as I did.”

According to The Alzheimer’s Association, by 2040, 11 million Americans will live with cognitive decline. So, don’t take the brain for granted and start prioritizing it more today. After all, it is the most important organ in the human body.
