Punky

  • Punky

Dear Friends,

All of my grandparents immigrated from Lebanon. My paternal grandmother – “Sito” in Lebanese – lived until she was 75. The last few years of her life, she struggled with Alzheimer’s Disease and it became impossible for her to live on her own. My parents and my Aunt Marie would each take her into their homes for months at a time, transferring her between Toledo, OH, where my dad grew up and Cleveland, where we lived.

One time while my Sito was staying with us, I remember my 3 sisters and I standing next to each other as she looked at us and said in broken English: “I don’t know who you are, but I know I love you.” She then proceeded to look at my youngest sister Shannon and say “And you – you I love most.” So much for not playing favorites! She would also frequently refer to my sister Nicki as “Punky,” which was incidentally the name of my Aunt Marie’s obnoxious dog. This mix-up is useful to this day when I want to get a rise out of Nicki I just call her Punky, delivered in my grandma’s same accent. It is my mission in life to remain an irritating younger brother!

Back to Sito – isn’t it amazing that her memory was failing, but her basic love and connection did not? Many of us understand our brains to hold our mind and memory. This is not so. Our mind exists in every cell of our body. Expressions like “gut feeling,” “heartfelt,” and “livid” are perfect examples of organs FEELING and KNOWING. My Sito couldn’t remember why she loved us, but she knew she should. That’s powerful.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t envision any Dr. Dan statues being erected in my honor. So nurture your love for the people in your life. Those relationships are truly the legacy that will carry on your memory. ❤️

I will end on this: one reason I take one Turmeric Forte daily is for its anti-inflammatory properties that are especially protective against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and dementia. Be a brainiac for a moment and allow me to explain why it’s not just any turmeric supplement, but Turmeric Forte specifically that is so effective. In general, turmeric root has poor bioavailability, meaning it does not absorb very well in the body. You could intake some of the BEST quality turmeric, and still poop out 95% of it. (Literal $$ down the drain!)

  • Turmeric Forte pairs turmeric with fenugreek fiber, which research has shown increases turmeric absorption by 30x!
  • Fenugreek also allows turmeric to cross the blood-brain barrier so that the herb can actually work its anti-inflammatory wonders in the brain.   

**Taking Turmeric Forte daily has been an easy and potent way for me to decrease my odds of suffering from one of these awful neurodegenerative conditions. That is why I suggest it as part of our foundational package:

 

Start this protocol soon before you FORGET!    

God Bless,

Testimonial

Kurt Bassuener, President of MWS Associates, Inc.

MWS Associates has leased office space in the Business Center since the inception of our company in 2018 and from 2015-2018 with the previous company that I worked for.  The Business Center was the clear choice for us to locate our main office for several reasons: location, cost effectiveness, reliable high-speed internet, services offered and full access to the conference room.  It truly offers everything our company needs to headquarter our business from without the hassle of owning our own office building with the maintenance, yard care and snowplowing that goes along with ownership.  

A major benefit for us is the ability to host in-person and online meetings in the newly renovated, state-of-the-art conference room.  COVID changed many aspects of our business with a major increase in online meetings being one of them.  Many companies struggled with technology issues to host or participate in online meetings with poor audio, video quality, background noise and unprofessional business settings negatively affecting meetings.  The size, layout and quality of the A/V equipment of the conference room now allows us to host annual company-wide in-person meetings as well. Every October we bring our entire staff in from around the country for weeklong meetings and the conference room comfortably allows us to host 20+ people.  The setting also allows us to host on-site meetings with key accounts.  Clients appreciate being able to combine a business trip with bringing their family to enjoy a few extra days to experience all Door County has to offer.
