Alzheimers

Researchers have identified a major connection between areas of the brainstem - the ancient area that controls mood, sleep and metabolism - and detrimental changes to bone in a preclinical model of Alzheimer's disease.

A new study has found a link between gum disease and greater rates of cognitive decline in people with early stages of Alzheimer's Disease.Periodontitis or gum disease is common in older people and may become more common in Alzheimer's disease because of a reduced ability to take care of oral hygiene as the disease progresses. Higher levels of antibodies to periodontal bacteria are associated with an increase in levels of inflammatory molecules elsewhere in the body, which in turn has been linked to greater rates of cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease in previous studies. The latest study set out to determine whether periodontitis or gum disease is associated with increased dementia severity and subsequent greater progression of cognitive decline in people with Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers have devised several lipid-based diets aimed at slowing down progression and relieving symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It is generally accepted that lifestyle and particularly dietary habits influence mental health, and prevalence and progression of AD. Numerous epidemiological studies have revealed profitable effects of dietary intake of especially fish oil on cognitive decline during aging and dementia.

Could the active ingredient in marijuana, responsible for its characteristic "high," help turn the tide against the accelerating Alzheimer's epidemic? A remarkable study published in the journal Molecular Pharmacology in 2006, found that this long vilified plant may contain a compound with not one, but two therapeutic properties ideal for addressing both the surface symptom (memory problems) and root cause (brain plaque) of Alzheimer’s disease

Neurons affected in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) experience mitochondrial dysfunction and a bioenergetic deficit that occurs early and promotes the disease-defining amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) and Tau pathologies. Emerging findings suggest ...

Older adults with low intake of foods and drinks containing flavonoids, such as berries, apples, and tea, were more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease and related dementias over 20 years, compared with people who consumed more of those items, according to a new study.

A supplement that stops the breakdown of the ACh neurotransmitter in the brain is a useful technique to trigger lucid dreams

Dr. Dale Bredesen has shown, using lifestyle changes like a ketogenic diet, that Alzheimer's Disease and dementia can be prevented and reversed.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading killer of Americans, imparts a significant toll on the quality of life of the patient and primary caregiver, and results in inordinate costs in an already overburdened medical system. Prior studies on cholinesterase inhibitors among AD patients have shown minima …

Abnormal accumulation of amyloid proteins is linked to neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease brains, driving cognitive decline. Disruption of autophagy pathway contributes to the development o...

Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible and progressive brain disorder featured by the accumulation of Amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide, which forms insoluble assemblies that builds up into plaques resulting in cognitive decline and memory loss. The formation of fibrillar amyloid deposits is accompanied by con …

Hi guys! Got some pretty amazing news the other day and I thought I would share it. My mother has Alzheimer’s disease and just recently she was not talking anymore and not even smiling or acknowledging our presence. I have been running the Altzheimer’s frequencies for her for about a month continuously with sine waves.… Read More »

How, one asks, can statin drugs possibly be of help to those with Alzheimer's disease? The answer no doubt lies in the fact that inflammation is part of the Alzheimer's disease process and statins are effective anti-inflammatory agents.

My current research is on Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD). I believe that these two diseases are related.
