A very interesting article found relating to Toxic Damage and the link to Alzheimer Disease.. I wanted to share... Australian scientists conducting Alzheimer research have identified a toxin which they claim plays a key role in the onset of Alzheimer disease. It is called quinolinic acid slowly killing one nerve cell after the other. While quinolinic acid does kill nerve cells they are not certain whether it is the cause of Alzheimer disease. The Alzheimer’s research team from Sydney’s St vincent’s hopsital, the University of Sydney and Japan’s Hokkaido University found quinolinic acid in the brains of patients suffering from dementia and other brain disorders. Alzheimer disease affects millions of people world-wide. The brain of Alzheimer patients which have been analyzed, show heavy plagues and tangles of protein formation. This is most likely the cause why neurons die. But what causes the formation of these protein tangles and the plagues? There are different theories on the possible cause such as an accumulation of too many body toxins throughout the body eventually affecting the brain, a vitamin deficiency such as B12, too much aluminum ... The disease process of a patient that is affected with Alzheimer initially starts with short-term memory loss. As the disease advances, the memory loss is becoming more severe. As the disease progresses, people can’t care for themselves anymore without help. They need assistance with simple daily chores. They also experience emotional episodes at times. Eventually, they become completely helpless and depend on the assistance of a caregiver. Many diseases are caused by years of accumulation of toxins. Antioxidants and alkaline foods help neutralize toxins and limit its accumulation. An intestinal tract free of build-up, for instance, can absorb the nutrition properly. The blood will get all the essential nutrition and transport it to all the different body systems including the brain. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in ph-friendly nutrition and finding natural antioxidants, which can protect the human body from free radicals and offer it a chance to defeat many chronic diseases. Natural plants have received a great deal of attention as sources of natural antioxidants as they prevent free radical damage aiding in reducing the risk of diseases. Studies performed with pure aloe vera juice, for instance, have revealed that the hundreds of healing compounds found within the leaf gel of the plant possess numerous pharmaceutical activities. Alzheimer disease can affect people in their 40s but it is more dominant in older people. One out of ever 100 people age 65-75 will develop this disease. One out of every 14 people age 75-84 will be diagnosed with it. And one in every four people age 85 and over will suffer from it. Some new research findings suggest a link between alzheimer disease and certain vitamins such as folic acid and vitamin B12. B12 is only found in certain foods, such as meat, fish and eggs. Thanks to modern research it was also isolated in pure and unaltered aloe vera juice. B12 needs certain compounds, found within the body, so it can be absorbed. Are these compounds missing, do only low levels exist or do people develop antibodies, a B12 deficiency can develop. About 40% of older patients have a vitamin B12 deficiency. A lack of vitamin B12 causes homocysteine levels to rise, which can increase the risk of developing heart disease and maybe even Alzheimer Disease.
