Preventing Alzheimer's Part 2
I found out the other day that Rita Hayworth died of Alzheimer’s disease. However, when her symptoms started to surface, many thought it was alcohol related. Apparently she did drink a lot, but mistaking one thing for another cost her valuable time. I will have to watch one of her films.
When I think back to a time when we could have actually prevented Grandma’s condition, it would have been too late. After my aunts and my mom noticed that Grandma wasn’t “quite all there,” many attempts were made to try and clear up the confusion with a multitude of medications, and I believe she was also on depression meds as well, however, in hindsight, masking the symptoms isn’t any type of prevention. I think the treatments of the symptoms worsened the confusion and the condition.
It’s important for early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. If we delay too long, and attribute Alzheimer’s to some other condition, some of the early treatments won’t be possible. For those at risk, prevention NOW is the key, while we are in our twenties and thirties, not when we are in our fifties and beyond.
Instead of just paying attention to Grandma’s decline and trying to make her comfortable, I’ve been pursuing the latest research into causes and cures of Alzheimer’s. In a nutshell, plaque buildup in the brain caused by the beta amylase protein is what Scripps Florida scientist Dr. Malcom Leissring is targeting to find a cure. Another report linking diabetes to Alzheimer’s suggests that the Insulin Degrading Enzyme is associated with a higher risk to developing Alzheimer’s.
Someone wrote or said to me “the mystery of Alzheimer’s is frustrating,” and I guess my only solution to clearing up some of the mystery is to be informed and most of all just pay attention before it’s too late.

Hi,
Alzheime is cause by irreversible deterioration of the brain which controls reasoning and memory.
People who experienced stress for prolong period will add to the risk of getting Alzheimer`s disease.
TREATMENTS(herbs)
Ginkgo biloba when taken can be effective in delaying mental deterioration but cannot cure it.
Others which help to delay the disease are food rich in Vitamin E, C, coenzyme Q10, B6 ,magnesiumand Zinc. Amino acids appears to slow down the mental deterioration of Alzheimer`s disease.
SUPPLEMENTS FOR THE BRAIN.
Antioxidants(Vitamin C, E), L-carnitine, Magnesium,Zinc, Coenzyme Q10
