My father has been dealing with paralysis and now he's also got a cough, and he's struggling to breathe normally. Plus, he's not eating his meals fully and seems really weak, and he's been bedridden. Can you advise what we should do to help him? I'm really concerned and need guidance urgently.

I'm curious about what health tonic would be best for someone over 50 dealing with issues like digestion, tiredness, or high blood pressure. Are there any medicines or remedies that help support body organs as we age?

If u are having good diet and have a walk daily you may not need medicine except there is deficiency. Check with Vit B12 & DE. And if deficient then take medicine for it
