Effective Nutritional Treatments for Alzheimers Disease There are several effective remedies for Alzheimer’s disease. This may surprise you, as one is led to think that such a condition, of what appears to be irreversible brain damage, is untreatable. But, people are making amazing recoveries from this dread disease today. The two most important aspects to treating Alzheimer’s disease are removing heavy metals, especially mercury, from the persons brain and providing high dose sublingual (dissolves in mouth) Vitamin B12 , especially in the form of Methylcolbalamin. Vitamin B12 Methylcolbalamin : Regenerative Nutrition supply this remedy in High-dose sublingual Lozenges, Each Lozenge contains 1 milligram (1,000 micrograms) of Methylcolbalamin a form of bio-active B12 that is well absorbed and crosses the blood brain barrier more effectively than other forms of B12. This makes it suitable for general/systemic wide B12 deficiency, and more uniquely for brain/nerve disorders. Please read our online article about this important remedy Heavy Metal Detoxification: The product Deep Cell Detox (DCD) is designed to remove heavy metals, including mrcury from the system. This comprises Seagreens, MSM, Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbate), Alpha-Lipoic Acid & Acety-L-Carnitine. Currently all of these supplements are available individually from Regenerative Nutrition. Please read our online article about Heavy Metal Detoxification A simple protocol for treating Alzheimers would be thus: • Begin with Vitamin B12 Methylcolbalamin Lozenges. Dissolve one lozenge in the mouth one or more times daily. • After a week or so add in the Deep Cell Detox (DCD) Formula. Although there are many other aspects to the causation of Alzheimer’s disease such as amyloid beta compounds accumulation and poor circulation, prioritizing the heavy metal removal and supply of Vitamin B12 is an approach that has the most, anecdotal, positive results. Most cases of Alzheimer’s disease respond well and improve considerably just with Vitamin B12 Methylcolbalamin and DCD, but if the disease is well established then deeper therapy may be needed. There are a few supplementary nutrients (listed below) that will further support recovery from more advanced stages. The use of specific anti-oxidants has been shown, in studies (see below), to potentially help improve brain function in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Some of these anti-oxidants have also been shown to help offset some of the toxic effects of amyloid beta compounds in the brain cells, as well as improve brain function. These anti-oxidants include grape seed OPC, Ginko Biloba and Tumeric. • Grape Seed OPC: The June 18, 2008 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience published the discovery by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York that administering grape seed polyphenols reduces amyloid beta aggregation in the brain and slows cognitive impairment in a mouse model of Alzheimers disease. • Ginko Biloba: has a reputation of also helping in lessening the severity of Alzheimer’s disease. It works by improving circulation to the brain and acting as an anti-oxidant. A 2004 conference paper summarizes how various trials indicate that Ginkgo shows promise in the treatment of Alzheimers disease (L. Witkam and I. Ramzan (2004). Ginkgo biloba in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease: A miracle cure?. From Cell to Society) • Turmeric: Curcumin (an extract from the bright yellow herb Tumeric) A 2004 UCLA-Veterans Affairs study involving genetically altered mice suggests that curcumin might inhibit the accumulation of destructive beta-amyloid in the brains of Alzheimers disease patients and also break up existing plaques associated with the disease (Yang, F; Lim GP; Begum AN; Ubeda OJ; Simmons MR; Ambegaokar SS; Chen PP; Kayed R; Glabe CG; Frautschy SA; Cole GM (February 2005). Curcumin inhibits formation of amyloid beta oligomers and fibrils, binds plaques, and reduces amyloid in vivo. Journal of Biological Chemistry 280 (7): 5892–901.
