ALZHEIMERS
Over 4 million people suffer from Alzheimers.
What causes this disorder is unknown.
You dont feel Alzheimers.
It just silently destroys your brain cells and steals your life little by little.
People with alzheimers develop progressive loss of memory and lose the ability to take care of themselves.
It attacks the brain and results in impaired memory, thinking and behavior.
Over time alzheimers strips away all sense of self until there is only a shell.
Certain studies have suggested that alzheimers may be related to an accumulation of aluminum in the brain.
Although the link between alzheimers and aluminum remains unclear it is advisable to avoid cooking in aluminum utensils, do not wrap food in aluminum foil and avoid drinking from aluminum cans.
Also boil your water.
Large amounts of vitamin E may slow the onset of alzheimers.
Dosages of 2,000 IU per day are recommended.
Ginkgo Biloba Extract may also be of help.
In findings that could lead to a new Alzheimer's disease drug,
researchers at San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center
and the University of California, San Francisco, have isolated
a protein fragment that nurtures brain cells. The effect could
prevent loss of brain function caused by Alzheimer's. The frag-
ment acts through the same mechanisms as its larger parent pro-
tein. However, a drug based on the fragment would be small
enough to pass from the bloodstream into the brain, said Dr.
Frank Longo, UCSF professor, vice chair of neurology and SFVAMC
chief of research.
MOLECULE SWEEPS AWAY TOXIC ALZHEIMER'S PROTEIN :
Scientists have discovered how mice normally sweep away the
protein that forms the plaques in brain tissue that are a
hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. The findings point to blood
circulation in the brain as playing a key role in the prevention
of the beta amyloid plaques that speckle the brains of
Alzheimer's patients. They should help scientists better
understand how the plaques accumulate and perhaps how to prevent
them, said neurosurgeon Dr. Berislav Zlokovic of the University
of Rochester Medical Center. He and colleagues found that blood
vessels are responsible for removing the beta amyloid protein in
healthy brain tissue. Zlokovic's team found that the endothelial
cells that line the blood vessels are key to the process. In
particular, a protein called asLRP-1 (low density lipoprotein
receptor-related protein), a molecule that plays a role in the
transport and metabolism of lipids such as cholesterol, rapidly
shuttles beta amyloid out of the brain and across the blood-brain
barrier to the body, which breaks it down into harmless waste
