Mouse experiments suggest that folic acid could play an essential role in protecting the brain against the ravages of Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, according to scientists at the National Institute on Aging. This animal study* could help researchers unravel the underlying biochemical mechanisms involved in another recent finding that concluded people with high blood levels of homocysteine have nearly twice the risk of developing the disease.** In the study, published in the March 1, 2002 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, the investigators fed one group of mice with Alzheimer's-like plaques in their brains a diet that included normal amounts of folate, while a second group was fed a diet deficient in this vitamin. These mice are transgenic, meaning they were bred with mutant genes that cause AD in people. They develop AD-like plaques in their brains that kill neurons.

Resources Introduction Many older people worry about becoming more forgetful. They think forgetfulness is the first sign of Alzheimer's disease. In the past, memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging. However, scientists now know that most people remain both alert and able as they age, although it may take them longer to remember things. A lot of people experience memory lapses. Some memory problems are serious, and others are not. People who have serious changes in their memory, personality, and behavior may suffer from a form of brain disease called dementia. Dementia seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities. Alzheimer's disease is one of many types of dementia. The term dementia describes a group of symptoms that are caused by changes in brain function. Dementia symptoms may include asking the same questions repeatedly; becoming lost in familiar places; being unable to follow directions; getting disoriented about time, people, and places; and neglecting personal safety, hygiene, and nutrition. People with dementia lose their abilities at different rates.

NEW YORK, July 22, 2003 Alzheimer's: The Fish Factor (Photo: AP / CBS) (CBS) A diet that includes fish may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study. The Early Show Medical Correspondent Dr. Emily Senay explained that the health benefits of eating fish is nothing new. She says older studies have shown Omega-3 fatty acids in fish help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. But a link between eating fish and a reduction in suffering from Alzheimer's disease is something to talk about. A study in the Archives of Neurology showed that people who consumed at least one serving of fish per week lowered their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by 60 percent, compared to those who rarely or never ate fish. Senay says more studies are needed to be able to confirm that it is the fish providing the protection, but the evidence seems to be pointing towards that conclusion. It's encouraging news, Senay says, because it suggests that Alzheimer's disease risk can be reduced through a fairly simple lifestyle change such as diet. Recent studies have shown that other lifestyle choices such as engaging in activities that challenge and stimulate the brain may also help with the disease.

Home Page About Dr. Ralph Martins Publications Research Programs ... Contact Us What is Alzheimer's Disease? Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a degenerating disorder of the brain characterised by deficits in short and long-term memory, language and other cognitive (thinking) functions. It usually develops slowly but steadily over a period of 6-20 years. The onset can be in middle adult life or even earlier, but usually occurs in later life. In late onset cases, progression of AD tends to be slower and characterised by a more general impairment of higher cortical function (eg. communication skills and problem-solving ability). Although AD is usually a late onset (above 65 years) sporadic disease, approximately 10% of AD cases are characterised as early onset (below 65 years). The early-onset form of AD is more severe and an age of onset as young as 31 years of age has been reported in Australia. Whilst only a small percentage of late-onset sufferers have a familial origin to their pathology, most cases of early-onset AD are familial. It is estimated that dementia currently affects more than 190,000 people in Australia with the figure expected to reach over 730,000 by 2050 (2.8% of the projected population) (source Alzheimer's Australia).

Help Wednesday, October 21, 1998 Published at 18:14 GMT 19:14 UK Health Eat to beat Alzheimer's Vitamin supplements are not a simple answer A lack of basic vitamins could be a key trigger for dementia. Researchers have found a direct link between low levels of two vitamins - B12 and folic acid - and the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease of the brain, which destroys memory and eventually all other mental functions. Now the Oxford Project to Investigate Memory and Ageing (Optima) says it may be caused by a vitamin-deficient diet, New Scientist magazine reports. Optima was launched in 1988 and over the past 10 years has collected blood samples from hundreds of patients. Analysis results When the group analysed the samples they found that those which had below normal levels of vitamin B12 came from patients who were four times as likely to develop Alzheimer's. Changes in diet could prevent Alzheimer's Those with similarly low levels of folate - a form of folic acid - were three times as likely to develop the disease. One of Optima's interests is the relationship between a harmful amino acid called homocysteine and levels of folates.

What Should You Do Next? People with Alzheimer's disease have abnormal clumps (amyloid plaques) and tangled bundles of fibers (neurofibrillary tangles) in their brains. Nerve cells are lost in areas of the brain that are vital to memory and other mental abilities. There also are lower levels of chemicals in the brain that carry complex messages back and forth between nerve cells (neurotransmitters). Alzheimers may disrupt normal thinking and memory by blocking messages between nerve cells. How Common Is Alzheimer's Disease?

Rense.com Alzheimer's Again Linked To Aluminum By Dr. John McDougall, MD McDougall Wellness Center Note - The high levels of aluminum in aerosols/chemtrails should be a factor to consider when reading this article. -ed In patients having Alzheimer's disease the brain is somewhat shrunken and, on postmortum examination, a definite loss of nervous tissue is noted. Examination of the brain tissues under a microscope reveals small bundles of material called senile plaques, scattered throughout the tissues. The more plaques that are present, the worse is the mental condition of the patient. Chemical analysis reveals the presence of the metal aluminum at the core of each plaque and within many of the cells found in the plaques. Evidence is accumulating to indicate that aluminum may be involved in the formation of the plaques, and it is therefore a prime suspect as the initial cause of the disease. Five population studies now link Alzheimer's disease to aluminum in drinking water. As early as 1885, aluminum was shown to be toxic to the nervous tissues of animals. Aluminum can also produce a degeneration of the nervous tissues in cats and rabbits that resembles in some ways that seen in the brains of human patients with Alzheimer's disease. Patients with diseased kidneys accumulate large amounts of aluminum in their bodies from medications and from kidney-machine solutions that have been used until recently. This accumulation results in a severe mental deterioration.

Clinical Consult in Dementia Questions and Answers March, 2005 by Pierre N. Tariot, M.D. Q. What is the current view of vitamin E use for treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD)? A. Two studies examined the effects of high-dose vitamin E in patients with AD or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). In the AD study, patients on high-dose vitamin E for up to 24 months reached functional milestones more slowly than individuals on placebo (Sano et al., 1997). Vitamin E was not associated with increased risk of death. In a second study looking at the effects of vitamin E for up to 36 months in patients with MCI, there was no overall benefit or increase in risk; the death rate was identical in individuals on placebo and vitamin E (Petersen et al., 2004). It is hard to make definite recommendations on the basis of the recent Miller et al. (2005) pooled analysis. The benefits of vitamin E supplements for AD prevention are unproven, and individuals with MCI have not shown benefit from vitamin E. A cautious interpretation of the risk reported in the Miller et al. (2005) meta-analysis would be that cognitively normal individuals and those with MCI should limit their intake of vitamin E. What about individuals with AD? The single randomized clinical trial of vitamin E in people with moderately severe AD showed that high doses may be beneficial, without increased mortality. Since lower doses of vitamin E were not examined, it is not known whether lower doses can be recommended. Additionally, the protective effects of statins on cardiovascular disease may be attenuated by co-administration of antioxidants. It appears reasonable at present to maintain patients with AD on 2000 IU/day of vitamin E unless coronary artery disease is present, in which case a reduction in dose might be considered by the treating physician.

On average, patients die within 8 years of the onset of the first symptoms, but the disease can linger as long as 20 years. The five drugs currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of AD patients (tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine, and memantine), at most, improve symptoms, and none has been shown to slow the progression of AD. Therefore, it is imperative that no obstacle stand in the way of utilizing the knowledge we presently have to spare others the kind of suffering inflicted upon the Reagan family. While research into genetic causes and stem-cell treatments may be intriguing, they are currently, at best, in the distant realm of science fiction, and of no practical use for us here and now. Our attention should be focused on practical matters, such as our diet and avoidance of toxic substances, because this translates immediately into cost-free, highly-effective, non-toxic approaches for prevention and treatment of any disease. Plaques and Tangles – The Pathology of AD AD is characterized by the death of brain cells. The diagnosis is firmly established by seeing on microscopic examination two characteristic changes that follow years of repeated injury – and the resulting chronic inflammation.

Home Medi News Medical Tidbits Interesting Topics ... Manbir Mail This disease, Alzheimer's disease was first described by a German physician Alois Alzheimer 90 years ago. He first demonstrated the typical microscopic changes in the autopsy of a woman in her 50s who had suffered what seemed to be a mental illness. Through microscope he saw brain cells filled with twisted strands of fiber, surrounded by dense deposits - these features are the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In this disorder gradual decline of brain function leads inevitably to death, anywhere from 3 to 20 years after the disease is diagnosed. Child Nutrition and Alzheimer's disease Poorly nourished children appear to be at increased risk of Alzheimer's disease as compared to well nourished children. Those shorter than 5 feet have more chance of developing symptoms of cognitive impairment. New Alzheimer's Gene Located. A new study has located a Gene at a new place on chromosome 12. The study has shown increased risk of late onset Alzheimer's with this gene. A study conducted at university of Toronto showed that APOE gene located on chromosome 19, the one most commonly associated with late onset Alzheimer's, accounted for much, but not all, the risk in those with this disease. They also found that the gene on chromosome 12 seems to play a role in the Alzheimer's risk.
