rockyarizona asked:


I have mentioned before that my mother is dying, she is very, very thin and at the end of parkinsons disease. She now is eating very little three to five spoonfulls of puree’d food a day if that. and very little water. How long (if anyone knows) can someone survive on that? Your help is once again greatly appreciated.

      a couple months max, she needs to eat more, at least more water, if she drinks more water, then she has a longer time to live

      The body has set aside if you would give her cells have saved up to prolong life would look into tpn or cpn its way to prolong life would give her the things she needs to you.
      The things she needs to prolong life would like to the things she needs to survive.
