Preventing and Curing Alzheimer's

Natural Supplements Proven to Slow and Reverse Alzheimer's Disease and Supporting Clinical Studies.

Alzheimer's statistics paint a grim picture: Half of all nursing home patients and half of all people over the age of 85 probably have it, and it's the 4th leading cause of death in adults. Unless more effective preventive measures and treatments are discovered, over 8 million Americans could have Alzheimer's by the middle of the next century. The human and monetary cost, already in the tens of billions will skyrocket. Add to this number tens of millions more victims in Europe and Asia and a true health catastrophe is unfolding before us.

ALZHEIMER'S AND OTHER DEMENTIAS

Though there is no known cure for Alzheimer's disease, a number of studies have indicated certain substances can slow the progression of the disorder & improve functioning. Obviously, the earlier the intervention, the better.

Managing this disorder or any dementia involves multiple supplemental agents. There is no "magic pill." While the cause of Alzheimer's remains largely unknown it has been definitely linked to oxidative damage to brain cells. This damage accumulates over a period of time. Many of the supplements listed here prevent or stop depression. Almost always depression is associated with Alzheimer's and aggravates the symptoms.

ANTIOXIDANTS PREVENT AND SLOW DEMENTIA

There is overwhelming clinical evidence that antioxidants, those free radical fighters, are effective in preventing and beating back the symptoms of both dementia and Alzheimer's. Here is a recent report that appeared in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (JAMA) ANTIOXIDANTS REDUCE RISK AND SYMPTOMS OF DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMER'S.

Start your prevention and treatment program with selected antioxidants. Several are described below and we have a full description of the most effective and clinically proven at THE MOST POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTS KNOWN TO SCIENCE.

Select a basic Multi Vitamin and Mineral supplement. ULTRAMAN and ULTRAWOMAN are specifically formulated to provide the separate nutritional requirements of men and women.

Phosphatidyserine (called P.S.), 1 capsule, 200 mg, 2X daily. Phosphatidyserine (PS) functions like a mail or document delivery service. It delivers nutrients and molecular messages to cell membranes. This helps cells to work at their peak ability. Clinical trials have shown that PS is dramatic in its ability to do this, and 200 mg of PS taken two times a day may improve memory and recall in early-stage Alzheimer's disease patients.

Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALC) Take 1000 mg daily. In clinical trials, acetyl-l-carnitine (ALC) improves cognition in Alzheimer's patients. One study in particular demonstrates that ALC when combined with early diagnosis (by age 61), dramatically slows the progress of the disease. ALC is a supplement with many positive potential applications in Alzheimer's treatment. To start with, it's an antioxidant, and as an antioxidants it prevents the destruction of cells by free radicals. Many of the preventive nutrients available to patients at risk for Alzheimer's are, and antioxidants may be able to stop brain cells of patients who already have the disease form becoming damaged any further.

ALC also helps with acetylcholine production and cell membrane function. But its most therapeutic may be that felt in the mitochondria, which are the energy powerhouses in brain cells. Some researchers blame Alzheimer's disease on fatigued brain cells. Because it helps the mitochondria produce and use energy, ALC may ultimately make tired brain cells more energetic and give the brain what it needs to be able to defend its cells from degeneration. Most recently, the famed scientist Dr. Bruce Ames and his colleagues at the University of California discovered that ALC combined with a second antioxidant Alpha Lipoic Acid gave new life to old brain cells. The November issue of Reader's Digest hailed this discovery as "The Pill That May End Aging." Hyperbole aside, this is a supplement that all who have or as risk for Alzheimer's Disease must take on a daily basis. To learn more go to LIFE EXTENSION COMPLEX.
