Alzheimer's Remedies
Alzheimers Disease is a devastating disease characterized by progressive memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral disturbances. Good nutrition is critical - please refer to The Healing Process and Dietary Guidelines. Nutritional therapies for Alzheimers have proven to be very helpful; oxidative stress is a key factor in the aging process and plays a major role in Alzheimers. Antioxidants may prevent propagation of tissue damage and greatly improve the condition. The best combination of remedies we can suggest are, in the following order;
Germanium
Organic Silicon
Sea Greens
Alpha Lipoic Acid (taken a few hours apart from other remedies and with food)
Live Cell Immunocomplex
If only one remedy can be given at a time, start with Germanium and gradually increase dose up to at least 3 capsules daily, thereafter follow instructions on pot.
There is overwhelming evidence that this disease is focussed around heavy metal toxicity in the brain and that there have been cases of reversal from Alzhiemers using a heavy metal detox programme. Alpha Lipoic Acid can remove mercury from brain and nerve cells, but to transport it out of the body, and stop it depositing elswhere Sea Greens are required. Heavy metals are implicated in a causative factor in much sickness especially neurological disease. Thanks to the honeycomb-like structure,
Neuropharmacology Laboratory, Department of Pharmacology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi 110029, India carried out a study on rats and those treated with Alpha Lipoic Acid showed significantly less cognitive impairment. There was also an insignificant increase in oxidative stress in the alpha lipoic acid treated groups. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of Alpha Lipoic Acid in preventing cognitive impairment, which indicates the usefulness in the natural treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
We combine Acetyl-L-Carnitine with Alpha Lipoic Acid to create the perfect anti-aging package, this contributes to the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine - studies have shown that this chemical is depleted in the body in those with Alzheimer's disease. Clinical studies have seen the slowing down of progression, and improved cognitive ability of Alzheimer’s patients when a Acetyl-L-Carnitine supplement is introduced
There is a relationship between silica and the rate of aluminium concentration in the brains of Alzheimers patients. Much research points to the fact that a deficiency of silica in ones diet is the causal effect of an increase of aluminum in the body, and its ultimate accumulation into the synapses of the brain. Silica plays an important role in helping the body to eliminate this accumulation of aluminium, which is a causative factor in certain forms of senility, including Alzheimers disease. There are many silica and silicon supplements on the market, but we believe that the Organic Silicon is unique in its therapeutic ability to replenish the system with sufficient silicon to allow the body to accomplish its own healing. This product is especially suitable for delicate types and for those with damaged nervous system, broken down types and hypersensitive types.
Live Cell Immunocomplex is a powerful antioxidant and as has the ability to repair damaged cells and restore cellular respiration.
Other remedies that may be considered
Ginkgo Biloba extract has been therapeutically used for several decades to increase peripheral and cerebral blood flow as well as for the treatment of dementia. Our Circulate capsules contain Ginkgo Biloba which according to a report by the Life Extension Foundation appears to delay mental deterioration during the early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
A study in the Oct. 22, 1997, issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that Ginkgo biloba extract alleviated symptoms associated with a range of cognitive disorders, and was beneficial in the treatment of dementia. The study added that Ginkgo Biloba extract "was safe and appears capable of stabilizing and, in a substantial number of cases, improving the cognitive performance and the social functioning of demented patients for six months to one year." The benefits were said to be "as dramatic as Tacrine or Aricept, two prescription drugs that have been approved to slow the dementia of Alzheimer's."
Ginkgo is generally well tolerated, but it can increase the risk of bleeding if used in combination with warfarin, antiplatelet agents, and certain other herbal medications. (University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston, Texas 77555-1123)
Studies have showed that L-Carnosine is a major tool in the fight against aging and degenerative disease. It is found in all cells, but in higher quantities in muscles, heart, kidney and brain cells. As we age, optimum conversion from dietary sources becomes inefficient. In studies, the longer living animals had more of it in their cells.
L-Carnosine is a naturally occurring product in our food. But with the passing of time it decreases, this is believed to be one of the primary factors leading to the aging process. The human body has an optimum design factor of over 120 years, but few people live beyond their 80’s. Carnosine, when introduced into the body's cells, has been shown to rejuvenate the cells; in essence, it is working as an anti-aging agent from within our cell structure.
