On Friday, September 2nd 2016, The Dominica Dementia Foundation was officially launched at the U.W.I auditorium at Elmshall.
Dementia is a mental illness caused by brain injury or disease, which can result in personality changes, a decline in memory and impaired reasoning and judgement.
The foundation aims to raise awareness of Dementia, provide emotional and financial support to the families and to those who are suffering from the disorder. Other objectives of the foundation include assisting with research on Dementia and working with various elderly homes in Dominica.
“I saw the need for a foundation like this one in Dominica, so I created one. Hopefully, this will be an eye opening for the citizens of Dominica, that we possess a level of authority and rights in this country and that we are to utilize them for the betterment of this country. Do not judge someone by their age – mind-set is everything,” said DSC Psychology major, Rianna Patterson, who founded the the Dominica Dementia Foundation.
Patterson revealed that her decision to start a Dementia Foundation was influenced by the loss of one of her closest family members.
Consulting Psychiatrist at Ross University, Dr. Davendra Sharma, provided some information about the disease.
“Dementia does not only affect elders;it is starting to affect those that are in their early 50s. It can range from severe to chronic memory loss. However, treatment can improve symptoms. Those who suffer from Dementia might be able to recall the names of their family members, or even remember what relation one has to them,” he explained.
“Rianna is a strong activist and I am happy to be a part of this” Dr.Sharma, who is the vice president of the Dominica Dementia Foundation, added.
Clinical Professional Counsellor and Secretary of the Dominica Dementia Foundation, Jacqueline Douglas, pledged her full support to the Foundation which she described as an “honourable” idea and said she was delighted to be part of it.
Former nurse and current President of the Dominica Council on Ageing, Zetma Toussaint, said the launch of the Foundation was timely in light of the Month of the Elderly which will be observed in Dominica shortly.
“It was a pleasure meeting Rianna, and the members. Rianna struck me as a very determined person ……….I am sure this will not be the last project she implements in Dominica,” Ms. Toussaint added.
Another speaker was Parry Bellot, a board member of the Grotto home, which provides shelter to homeless people. He gave some information about the founding and operation of the institution.
“CEO/Founder/Owner and President of the Dominica Dementia Foundation
About two years ago a very close family member of mine passed away with Dementia, two years later I established a Dementia Foundation in Dominica.
I started looking through my bucket list and went into a very deep self-evaluation that went on for days..I thought long and hard about my goals, what I aim to accomplish. A foundation was something I wanted to establish, I said I would do it after University, but I thought the ideal time is now.
They said it couldn’t be done, they said I am only 18!!! but what they fail to realize is that is not about age its about the mind-set.
Im not going to lie, It was challenging.. there were days I wondered if I was making the right decision, but one thing is for sure is that I wanted this. Sooo bad and This is what Dominica needs.
Utilize the resources around you, we all have our part to play to enhance quality of life living in Dominica”
She is clearly about her EGO
Sounds like an XFactor warm up
Total EGO!!
You are flying all over the place attacking people, the more ignorant human garbage like you are its the more fault you find about people; how dumb and stupid you are?
I have never read any sensible comment from you it is always some one line bit of crap! If you continue reading me, in a few days maybe you will learn something from me that will cause you to see how ignorant you are! How would like DNO to ban you from their site because of you stupidity which keeps you barking like a hungry dog!
You call me a bigot: well bigot is defined as “as a person obstinately, or intolerantly devoted to his/her opinions, and prejudices. There is nothing I wrote in regards to Alzheimer, and Dementia, which represent my opinion, but you are so ignorant, you need to find a prey, so I have become your target.
You are gutter rat, I don’t need to go there with you, but it would be interesting to meet you in person, so that I could get in your face and disfigure you!
What about a ‘Foundation’ for Zika!! Even our friends in the UK are now calling us ‘zika-infested’!!!

Mr. Hill the term demented in this respect is scientific and in this case simply means one who is unable to take care of themselves. When I was a kid in my village of Wesley in Dominica growing up, I would often here people refer to certain characters as demented.
They were viewing that character as someone demonic, someone possessed by the devil, or some demonic spirit . Be that as it may I can comment on that as clarified in Abnormal Psychology, in relation to all that you read in the comments I posted on the subject; (and that’s if you read me). In any event there are people who have suffered brain injuries, and under went surgery, where part of their brain had to be removed, in order for them to live; nevertheless, these people are not demented, nor are stricken by dementia!
I’ll tell you something I worked for an Environmental Engineering company; Whyle Laboratories where I had an accident, I lost most of my memory. I went to Dominica, and met a friend I knew in…
Continue:
I lost most of my memory. I went to Dominica, and met a friend I knew in England His name is Ron Abraham, the man who once owned Marpin Television, he built it. I was in a place I did not know he was in Dominica, he recognized me, and walked up to me and began talking to me.
All he said matter nothing, I was like a zombie, Ron simply walked away form me. I returned to America, wondering who he was. It was about a year later a Woman came from England to vacation with me; her niece was my lover, Sally was married to a black guy from Jamaica, and Ron was Married to one of her relatives, was in Dominica with him: there is no way I can cut this short. But in a conversation with Sally, my memory commenced returning, so I ask her what has become of Ron, she informed me that Ron had taken up an engineering assignment in Guyana, and then moved on to Dominica where he built Marpin Television.
The minute she mentioned Marpin, I remembered I saw a sign in Dominica which…
The minute she mentioned Marpin, I remembered I saw a sign in Dominica which read “Marpin Television. I immediately put Marpin Television in my browser, and there the Web site of Marpin came up, as I search the site Ron Abraham name popped up, I immediately Email him, and ask him certain questions, you know about certain people we knew in England. He immediately E-mail me and told me he met me in Dominica recently, and it was as if I did not know him, which was true.
I said to him do you remember Sally, she is here with me, his response was “say hi to sugar for me” Sugar is a pet name we called Sally.
I mean I was so sick I went to Dominica to visit with my friend and Colleague Jonathan Provost M.D., because some doctors here told me I was brain damage, and my lumbar was so massed-up the time would come when I might not walk again. I practically gave up until Jonathan took me to that PM Hospital did an X-ray on my Back, and found there was nothing significant with my…
Finally:
I practically gave up until Jonathan took me to that PM Hospital did an X-ray on my Back, and found there was nothing significant with my lumbar; now as for brain injury, if something was wrong with me mentality, he would have told me, because apart from a doctorate in medicine, he also has a PhD in psychology I believe.
So where it pertains to dementia, and all that goes along with it, apart from my knowledge gained in health science, I live among people who has suffered major head injury, and are not brain damage, do not suffer from dementia, are not demented: I just happens to be one of those people.
So that crap these people are talking in Dominica all of that is simply for show, they are not serious!
Rev. Donald Hill, D.D. September 5, 2016
Ma Petrie: \”Sorry you find it necessary to bring PM Skerritt into this discussion. The fact that you would in your meaningless rant use the opportunity to mock the PM’s honorary doctorate shows that you have no academic standing yourself, and certainly no degree. Educated people don’t do this\”.
Sincerely, Rev. Dr. Donald Hill. Evangelist. (Pastoral Counselor Certificate)
Reverend Hill, way to go! I endorse this response to the so called Ma Petrie; I coiuld not have said it better.
It is about time that those stupid people know how the educated people think about them–that their mentality is nothing but darkness and futility; they need to know that they not impress not even the gullible and ignorants around them, far more for the wise and intelligent people
I hope the responder to Ma Petrie–the highly educated \”Maroon\” – has gotten the message as well. Once again I say \”Nice Going!\”
Thank you for your comments. I chose not to take a degree when my teachers insisted that the earth was a ball spinning around at 1000 miles an hour and that we were stuck to it by the same force (gravity) that kept the oceans to it. By the way, I tried to model that with a cake and some water on a spinning ball – total mess!! My mom was not pleased.
They also tried to tell me that even though in London we were on the top of the ‘globe’ the people at its bottom (in Oz for example) were not standing, or sitting upside down.
Now back to dementia. Are you aware that this is a man-made disease that is being deliberately inflicted upon us? http://rense.com/general95/comingdem.html
Even neurosurgeons now admit this: http://yournewswire.com/neurosurgeon-chemtrails-cause-alzheimers-dementia-parkinsons-and-als/
What are chemtrails? As, the Swedish government, they will tell you all about them. http://www.naturalnews.com/037451_chemtrails_conspiracy_theory_geoengineering.html

“Dementia is a mental illness caused by brain injury or disease
Francisco Telemaque September 05, 2016
\”What set me off is the crap where they come with this nonsense “Brain Damage.” I know lots of people who are living with damage brain, however they are not demented\”.
What is the difference between\” brain damage\” and \”brain injury\” if the latter is a cause for a mental illness–dementia or not.
By the way I am no idiot; I am just questioning the things that those idiots from College and University writes.
For I know that a person who is brain damaged will act less than 50% normal; for that person will be a mentally retarded person
Miss Elizabeth, you see I did not trouble you? Why are you troubling me. I thought you and I are now bitter enemy due to the thing ( that ting) you posted in the other forum, and said I wrote it to you!
You think I have forgotten man; doh call me name in you ting eh, ah farid trouble you see! And you are nothing but trouble, and a plague in me life.
I do not know where I am going to find a rock to hide under from you; I saw where you continue to defend Skerrit, have seen, read, what he did in Dominica today, how much of the passport money he gave to you to build hotel under economic citizenship.
Ask him how come he is giving money to born Dominicans living in Dominica money under pretence that they foreigners who are in Dominica to invest in his economic citizenship program. That’s a job for you!
Think again Einstein!! Dementia is a man-made disease! http://yournewswire.com/neurosurgeon-chemtrails-cause-alzheimers-dementia-parkinsons-and-als/
You need to understand, simply because you found some bit of rubbish on the Internet; read it and
get confused by it, means that it is accurate.
I will not comment on the remarks you cast about Albert Einstein: except to remind you of his formula which reads; E= MC (2): Let that read E=MC Square: Now if you are not familiar with physics, thermodynamics, Trig, and calculus you will not know what the formula represents, but without that human would be existing and living like in the days of hunters and gathers in the twenty-second century.
Do you know Einstein is the smartest man who ever lived to date, after King Solomon of the Bible? No need to introduce you to his work in physics, and other fields.
Nevertheless, I must remind you prior to the utilization of any form of chemicals which was not utilized even in the days of the alchemists; dementia, Alzheimer, and amnesia existed, and affected millions in old age!
http://yournewswire.com/neurosurgeon-chemtrails-cause-alzheimers-dementia-parkinsons-and-als/
See above – dementia is a manufactured disease that is being inflicted upon us. Not me saying this – NEUROSURGEONS ARE!!! See link above.
That is rubbish; hog wash!
As an Registered Nurse who works primarily with the elderly in the US, I believe this is great. However, family members do need education on how to care for family members diagnosed with dementia as this could cause considerable caregiver stress. Please don’t stop with only providing supplies etc but educate Dominicans on the symptoms of this disease so they can be better equipped to care for those affected. Knowledge is power.
Sorry. Should say As a Registered Nurse
This is a very positive step this young lady is taking, miss Partterson. This disease does not only affect the person with that incurable disease but the family circle too. I know, because my family and I have expirence it with our mother in which my sister Debbie who took care of her too the end had a really difficult time with her. We lost her in July through the disease. I would like to thank the staff at the Grotto home for their care but in saying so I think the staff at the Grotto home is doing a great job but they need help too. While paying visit to the facility we were told that they were shot of supplies such as latex gloves and other critical ecencials, latex gloves we as a people should never let that happen so when ever I am visiting my country again I will make it my duty to bring some boxes of latex gloves for the Grotto home in the name of my mother. Miss Chambers.
The word “dementia” is associated with the word “demented”. This is a harsh word. It might be better if both words could be dropped (especially “demented”), and other words used in their place. This is not likely to happen.
There are numerous causes of dementia so we end up with different types of dementia which is a word used to describe memory loss. One symptom – probably the main symptom – of alzheimers is memory loss. However, not all dementia is alzheimers disease.
My wife and I both had a mother who died with Alzheimers. Sarah (my wife) works as a Personal Support Worker (PSW). She has Alzheimers patients among her clients. I took counselling courses from the University of Toronto School of Theology which included ministering to Alzheimers patients and their caregivers. We congratulate Ms. Patterson and her co-workers on the launching of the Dominica Dementia Foundation.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
Sometimes I think we are becoming too p.c. Dementia is derived from the Latin “mens” = mind, an demented literally means out of mind. This is a very apt description of this terrible affliction and nothing to be ashamed off.. In traditional English it would be called madness because of extreme behaviour out of the ordinary. We should deal with this disease and not try and dress it up in some fancy language that deflects from the seriousness of it.
Congratulations on this new foundation formed. It was more than time. The awareness of such a disease in Dominica is too low. Most Dominicans don’t even know about Alzheimer’s disease for example. It is definitely a form of dementia. It affects the elderly but it is becoming more common among people in their 50’s and 60’s right here in DA’ It is so pitiful to see people, intelligent people, who’s brain has been ravaged by this disease. My hat off to you Ms Patterson.
it is good that his young lady wants to care specially for demented people. But she shays this is a mental illness and we have a dept. for that already at the hospital. Can this not be better treated under the control, of our existing health service? I don’t fully understand this.
Psych wards in hospitals serve various mental health needs and do a great job of accommodating acute cases. But none provide all the services the Dominica Dementia Foundation will seek to accommodate. Unfortunately Alzheimer disease is increasing. Families and caregivers will look for the kind of support this new organization will provide.
Dominica Dementia Foundation has some very capable people at the helm. With the many needs of individuals and families generated by dementia especially in the advanced stages I don’t think you need worry about an overlapping of the help that will be made available.
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist. (Pastoral Counselor Certificate.)
…I’m glad you are certified Rev. Hill.
You are certified?
We need to help those caring for people who are dementing whether from Alzeimers , old age (senility) or brain injury or disease. Whatever the cause, for the caregivers it is difficult, especially if you loved the person the patient was. If anyone is finding it a challenge to cope then do contact Lifeline 4498593 or through the helpine 1800744DNCW and we can refer you for help. There are qualified relief carers available and daycare and residential options in Dominica, and also qualified counselors available through the Psychological Society.
This is an extension to the comments I’ve already made:
The formal classification of human abnormalities, modeled upon biological classification of plants, and animals, began with Philippe Pinel(1745-1826), the psychiatric reformer. He divided psychological disorders into melancholia, mania with, and without delirium, dementia, and idiotism; a classification system that was to undergo many revisions, and refinements for more than two hundred years.
The first comprehensive system of classification of psychological disorders was formed in 1896 by Emil Kraepelin (1856-1926). Kraepelin believed that mental disorders have the same basis as physical ones, and that the same diagnostic criterion, and procedures should be applied to them.
Why am I writing all of this? It is because I have a problem with that part of the script where they mentioned “brain damage.” That to me is nonsense, and came from someone who’s background in psychology, and psychiatrics are simply elementary;…

That to me is nonsense, and came from someone who’s background in psychology, and psychiatrics are simply elementary; in Dominica anything is acceptable to people who do not know!
So, let us talk about Aids Dementia: It is recognized that clinically observable neurological disorders occur in approximately 40% of adult Aids patients, and pathological changes in the nervous system have been noted in 80-90% of cases that have come to autopsy (Snyder, Simpson, Nielson ect al., 1983).
Some of the changes maybe caused by tumors, or bacterial infections that accompany Aids; nevertheless in a significant number of cases there is syndrome of acquired dementia, called Aids dementia complex which include word-finding difficulty, verbal, memory deficits, psychomotor slowing, impaired problem solving ability, and poor fine motor control.
Aids was only first recognized as a syndrome in 1981, and the dementia that sometimes accompanies it was not noted until a few years later…

Sir,
I have read your posts on various pages of this online newspaper and recommend to Admin at DNO that you are banned permanently for posting on the site.
Sir, you are a bigoted, ignorant and uneducated idiot and deserve a dose of dementia so that you can forget the embarrassment that you really are.
I bid you goodby Sir.
Whoever you are; a bit of scum with no name you bit of human feces, you are an ignorant slime-ball, before I continue, be informed If DNO block me from their web site, there will be no love lost. You know why; all I would do is re-activate my Web-site http://www.yvonnedods .com: otherwise I can build one with my very hands and knowledge, in less than a week! So you wish of containing me will never happen okay!
Now as for your stupidity of calling me a bigot, that proves your stupidity and your less than peasant mentality. There is nothing I wrote in regards to Dementia, and Alzheimer disease that is not thaught in medical school, that’s where I got my information. State your educational background; If you have any other science on the subject write it and let DNO print it let’s see what you know.
All of my comments are educational, and intellectual, envying me and you are a dunce cannot help you, nor take anything away from me, because there are no medical practicing…
Finally:
Aids was only first recognized as a syndrome in 1981, and the dementia that sometimes accompanies it was not noted until a few years later. So, here we are talking about Dementia, which is a very deep subject, and one need to know what they are conveying to people, because there are many of us out there who knows the subject very, very well!
Here is a simple dictionary definition of the word “dementia.” Anyone with an elementary education will understand means a condition of deteriorated mentality often with emotional apathy. In my opinion it renders a person useless; powerless to do anything to help themselves.
Why a ‘Foundation’? Why can’t the government establish a publicly funded facility to give special care to people with dementia and also for research into its prevention?
It’s about time that our passport money went into other than the pockets of their givers.
You may find the government is already doing both these things. But don’t hold your breath. If it were not for exercised individuals and NGO there would be much greater areas of need in Dominica not being sufficiently addressed.
When anybody initiates a worthwhile project in Dominica it is appalling how the nay-sayers come crawling out of the wood work to either say it is not needed, it won’t work, or it is already being done.
Those who do nothing are not criticized. It is the doers who get criticized. In the next generation history honors them.
When the first car was built people said it would not go five miles an hour. Then they said if it went more than five miles an hour it would fall apart.
Those who see what needs to be done, then find people who know it can be done, and enlist those willing to do, it are known as Movers and Shakers. They are not afraid of criticism
Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.
Especially as himself, the Honourable Dr. Roosevelt Skerritt, Knight Commander of the Free Masons of Malta (or whatever), knows exactly who is giving dementia to us.
My friends, ask him about:-
a) geoengineering (http://rense.com/general95/comingdem.html )
b) chemtrails & dementia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVcXp8Xg4sw)
c) why the Swedish government is demanding that dementia-causing geoengineering must stop:

http://www.resist.news/2016-07-13-swedish-official-admits-chemtrails-are-real-not-a-conspiracy.html
You have 2 choices here my friends: 1) dismiss me as some wild conspiracy theorist; 2) continue to believe what your government health ministry tells you. When choosing option 2), remember that you are taking the side of the same folks who are ripping you off to death whilst their friends in high places tell us to ‘suck salt’!
“Dementia is a mental illness caused by brain injury or disease, which can result in personality changes, a decline in memory and impaired reasoning and judgement.”
That in the quote above is not altogether accurate, because we learn in abnormal psychology in regards to dementia, many neurological disorders result from damage that is widespread, affecting more than one region of the brain. Some progressive degenerative disorders are of such type. Sometimes the disorder begins in a localized area, as in Parkinson’s disease; however, its effects gradually spread.
One can apply what is learnt from studying the effects of focal lesions to understand the effects of defuse damage; by noting the symptoms, one can determine which structures are damaged. If the diffuse damage, however, is of low onset, compensatory neurological, and psychological changes may mask the extent of the damage. Conversely, once the damage is severe, and appears in behavior; the symptoms may be exaggerated…
Continue:
Conversely, once the damage is severe, and appears in behavior; the symptoms may be exaggerated in comparison to focal lesions of the same area because there is less healthy tissue, in a sense, less redundancy, to compensate for the damage.
With these qualifications in mind, one should turn their attention to Alzheimer’s disease, the most common of all degenerative disorders. Note: Dementia is a progressive loss of a variety of high mental functions usually occurring in old age. Whether or not Alzheimer’s disease should be viewed as accelerated, or pathological aging, it is a disease of major proportions.
Almost 15% of adults over sixty-four years of age suffer from this disorder, and about one-third (1/3) of these people are severely handicap. The beginning of such decline is sometimes found in people in their fifties. We have to be careful when diagnosing people, because approximately half of all the older people diagnosed demented; probably have Alzheimer’s…
Finally:
We have to be careful when diagnosing people, because approximately half of all the older people diagnosed demented; probably have Alzheimer’s disease!
Accumulating evidence proved that some forms of Alzheimer’s disease are inherited. The chance of Alzheimer’s disease in first-degree relatives of patients with the disease converges on 50% by age ninety, as compared to a risk of say 25% in population at large in this age group.
This is just a brief!
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the diseases on the spectrum of dementia. Wikipedia is not your friend. Try going on Google scholar if you want to sound intelligent.
Thus far five idiots has given me thumbs down!
If asked what is their reason for their thumbs, I am the answer will be: ah, ah um, um:
Hahahahahahahahahahahah. If I ask the five idiots to counter any thing in my comments, with an argument of their own, or something similar in psychology, and psychiatrics, I would stake my life on it, they cannot because they do not even understand what I conveyed.
Only a fool would could dislike what the read; they may dislike it due to what the learn, but to dislike it pretending the contents is false or anything like that is simply stupid, because that is taught in medical school. And if the idiots wish, I can elaborate on treatment of dementia also.
No one in the practice psychology, or psychiatric practice, or simply took abnormal psychology can dispute, or refute any of the comments I made; anyone in the medical field who would try to refute that would have to be fool; and should be put away for the rest of their life in an asylum…
“Alzheimer’s disease is one of the diseases on the spectrum of dementia.”
You see how ….. stupid, your own words in the quote above renders you a damn idiot of the worst kind? You took your own stupidness, and confirmed basically what I wrote. If you can read go back and read everything, I wrote, verbatim and see if you are not a ********, what crap spectrum are you talking about?
You want to know the meaning of the word “spectrum?” if you were not an idiot trying to find fault with true and accurate medical, and scientific information you would take the time to know spectrum is defined as a continuum of color, or a prism, so that its component wavelengths are arranged in order. Because the space is not there to talk about your spectrum, I will inform you without this spectrum of light there would be no color Television or color movies. Remember I am an Electronic/electrical engineer, whoever you are I can wipe my feet on any day of the week so becareful what you write when…
Continuue:
I can wipe my feet on any day of the week so be careful what you write when you decide to take me down to your gutter level!
” Wikipedia is not your friend. Try going on Goggle scholar if you want to sound intelligent”
I got my education out of University, and College, that which you read are taught in medical school my academics are not from goggle, or Wikipedia, any comment I submit in this regards are text book material. Therefore I challenge you to copy all you can find on Wikpedia and submit it on DNO let them print it, and let’s see if what you have is as accurate as my submission.
And if is one cousin I do not need it is you because you are a confounded idiot!

From there on one would have to get into diagnose, and prognosis, guy let me tell you something I am not an idiot okay!
All of the above has to do with Dementia, an Alzheimer’s disease. So, I invite you to disclose your name, and discuss all of the above let me see what you’ve got. My name is Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque,…
Alzheimer’s disease IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEMENTIA – The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America (AFA).
This organization is so timely. As our population ages, many people will become victims of dementia either by hereditary, poor health choices while they were young, or accidents. The personality changes brought on by mental diseases could cause their friends and family to ill-treat due to lack of education about these diseases. So, it is expected that one of the key functions of this Foundation will be public awareness and education to protect those who are overtaken by dementia. Some elderly folks have already begun to be abused because family members think is “wicked they wicked”.
Very good initiative!
when will the Grotto home at Bellevue Rawle open its doors Parry?I’m sure it does not cost more than one of our passports to finish that place. Go and ask your friend the Prime Minister to, let you sell a passport or two.
Hahahahhahahaha It\’s interesting to have read all these comment. One thing missing here is the non-mention of Dr.Griffin Benjamin.Did the foundation forget to invite him or did he forget to attend? LMAO real loud peeps! Either way it is a manifestation of the very disease hahahahahahah
Doc, last night while we were speaking, I intended to talk to you about that, but just as I was about to bring it up “Do You Want Me” wanted to talk to you too. In any event they are not going to consult with Griffin, because he is from Wesley, a local Dominican.
What did Jesus say: this is not verbatim, but I believe he said a prophet is without honor in his country. Griffin is the only thing between most of them and the act of flying off a mountain into oblivion you know, but to them an outsider opinion seems to have more value than Griffin Benjamin.
You see the number of thumbs down they are giving me; I am sure not one of those idiots checking dislike has ever sat in a college nor university, never mind to have majored in health science, so how on earth could such people even understand any form of medical information at that level?
If I said to them; I am Dr. Francisco Telemaque from any other planet, they would be saying thank you doctor Telemaque for good…
Finally:
If I said to them; I am Dr. Francisco Telemaque from any other planet, they would be saying thank you doctor Telemaque for the good information, even without understanding what the hell they read. Doc our people are so sot, its funny!
What set me off is the crap where they come with this nonsense “Brain Damage.” I know lots of people who are living with damage brain, however they are not demented. I have a friend; for years, we had been drink all kind of run, whiskey, anything alcohol in a bottle, until I got sick and stop. My friend has to pieces of Steal-plate covering sections of his brain. The man got inebriated and fall down so many times bashing his head, the last time, doctors had to induce coma, and cut two pieces of his brain out to save his life, the man is living with no dementia, of course he developed a slight neurological problem caused him to ambulates with a limp!
Kudos to you, young lady. Your initiative is an example to us all-young and old. I wish the foundation success as it seeks to implement its programmes.
No, no, no! She is a self-serving egotist. If she wanted to give real help to sufferers, she would be lobbying the regime of The Honourable Dr. Roosevelt Skerritt, Knight Commander of the Free Mason Order of the Vatican. By the way, when you become a 33 degree Free Maon, guess what? You don’t swear allegiance to the bible, you swear it to the KORAN!!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Oh, what a thing, I like this one to death. So let me introduce you to Skerrit full name.
Quote me: his name is:
‘ That Mountain Chicken Carpaud (Crapo) Mentality Sly Eye Sir Knight Indian doctor of nothing Roosevelt Skerrit!’
I like your post, a very good one indeed! I wonder where is that Crapo today, I bet anything that doctor is somewhere in the world peddling, and selling Dominica passports, of which more than half of the proceeds will not see daylight in the government treasury of Dominica.
Ah wanda which part al de money go disappear an go way nobady can fine um nu?
by the way, that Roman Catholic thing, is the Anti-Christ the Bible speak about. The so called pope has a three level gold crown, an insignia of three letters which turns out to be 666 okay!
What is “The Masonic Order of the Vatican”?
The Roman Catholic Church does not endorse and is opposed to the Masonic Order.
The statements you make about the Masonic Order are incorrect so it shows you known little or nothing about it.
Ms. Patterson has opted to start an NGO work known as the Dominica Dementia Foundation rather than approach the PM for help. Why? Because Mr. Skerritt already has his plate full and does not need an added responsibility. If this was something the PM had an interested in he would already be working in this field. Added to this is the fact that Rianna Patterson is a psychology major at DSC so she is within her own field of interest.

Ma Petrie:
Sorry you find it necessary to bring PM Skerritt into this discussion.
The fact that you would in your meaningless rant use the opportunity to mock the PM’s honorary doctorate shows that you have no academic standing yourself, and certainly no degree. Educated people don’t do this.
