Alzheimers Parkinsons ALS

Turmeric has been used in India for over 5,000 years, which is likely why still today both rural and urban populations have some of the lowest prevalence rates of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in the world. A study on patients with AD found that less than a gram of turmeric daily, taken for three months, resulted in 'remarkable improvements'

Researchers at UCLA say they've developed a program that shows for the first time Alzheimer's memory loss being reversed in some patients.

An aging specialist discusses 10 main signs of Alzheimer's disease and the importance of obtaining an early diagnosis. More than 5 million people in the United States have Alzheimer's disease, according to the Alzheimer's Association. Not only is Alzheimer's disease the sixth leading cause of death in the country, but it also currently cannot be prevented, cured or slowed.

A new study is helping to explain why the long-term use of common anticholinergic drugs used to treat conditions like allergies and overactive bladder lead to an increased risk of developing dementia later in life. The study used mouse models to show that long-term suppression of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine -- a target for anticholinergic drugs -- results in dementia-like changes in the brain.

Inhibition of platelets in Alzheimer's disease patients may become important in therapy in future, say researchers whose findings could be of great importance for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease patients.

2019 RYB ALZ Risk - Main Opt-In.

This is the first time a randomized, double-blind, clinical trial has shown that a nutritional intervention can help to conserve the ability of prodromal AD patients to carry out everyday tasks, such as paying bills, or finding your way around, as measured by the Clinical Dementia Rating-Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB) -- a combined measure for the ability to think and perform everyday tasks. This is important because those with prodromal AD currently have no approved, available pharmacological options.

The disaccharide trehalose is commonly considered to stimulate autophagy. Cell treatment with trehalose could decrease cytosolic aggregates of potentially pathogenic proteins, including mutant huntingtin, α-synuclein, and phosphorylated tau that are associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Here, …

Contrary to conventional wisdom, brain regeneration is possible. One promising therapy that promotes neurogenesis and is effective in pre-clinical studies of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s is near infrared light therapy, and it may improve other mental illnesses and neurodegenerative disorders including dementia, stroke, ALS, and traumatic brain injury as well

A new theory for the causes of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases has been developed, involving an out-of-control immune system.

Contrary to mainstream medical belief, safe, natural, and nontoxic treatments can alleviate the symptoms of senile dementia. Research has demonstrated how these remedies can aid in preventing the onset of senile dementia.

More than 40% of dementia diagnoses have been shown to be wrong. Here's what may really be going on.
