Alzheimer's treatment alternatives

[Miri]

What seemed to help my husband during his last 6 months of life with Alzheimers to be more focused was the aroma of pure frankincense oil. He seemed to crave it and we put it on a kleenex which he kept smelling all the time. Up the end, even though his nights were delusional and a little in the daytime, whenever someone came around, he always knew who they were and was able to keep up a conversation.

It didn't cure him - but since he seemed to crave it - I believed there was something in his system that needed that oil.

Eventually I looked up the uses for this oil, and found it to be one that was good for Alzheimers and other brain malfunctions. I guess his body knew. I read it is also good for Parkinsons which he had too.

Its true that, how the body seems to know what it does or doesn't need.
A while back my aunt ended up in hospital, one of the issues was sky high potassium
levels.

In the weeks before she went in and before we knew what was wrong with her, she suddenly went off
coffee saying it tasted funny, also she no longer seemed to like bananas. Both coffee and bananas
are high in potassium.

I am 91 and tests say that I have no dementia or signs of Alzheimer's disease, but I have been working to prevent it for years.

My diet is quite simply described, but in today's world hard to follow. It is simply if God created a food and man didn't change it, then it is fine to eat it. That means no dry cereal, no refined oils, no salted nuts, no white bread, and no soft drinks for example. For brain stimulation I keep learning something completely new to me. I just learned to paint on silk using dyes that must be steamed. I am in the midst of an in depth study of Romans that includes history of the period, the life of Paul, and much OT background of that book.

There has been work by three clinics at turning around the beginnings of dementia and Alzheimer. They work on 20 points involving food, supplements, and lifestyle. The diet is the anti-inflammatory diet. They recommend the one on Dr. Andrew Weil's website. The 20 points include sleep, exercise, stress reduction, brain stimulation, fasting 12 hours per night, and GI health. Some of the herbs and supplements mentioned is probiotics, Vitamin D3, blueberries, CoQ, resveratrol, Pntothenic acid, garlic, ginger root, Ashwagandha, and Bacopa powder.

People who submitted to this treatment usually could not complete every one of the suggestions, but the success rate was remarkable. It was also true that this does not help when the damage to the brain has been severe.

You should try the Red Desert Clay.

Maybe Miror EPF might be of help too.

Definitely ozone therapy, or hyperbaric chamber if you can et to it near you.

Probably colonic's also

 

[JosephsDreams]

Trace minerals and a good brand probiotic too would be good insurance.

Dr. Bredesen and the ones who work with him found that the key to reversing Alzheimer and dementia is optimizing the patients health. It is best done if you can get a doctor to cooperate with you.

Doctors have been taught that there is no cure so usually they will not cooperate to help you with this. By "cure" they want an expensive medicine that works directly on the brain and there is no cure like that. There is danger in taking too many supplements that the body simply has to dispose of causing the liver to overwork.

The report on this therapy tells of one 67 year old patient who was having severe memory loss. She couldn't adhere to all 20 points of the program but here is what she did: Eliminated all simple carbs, eliminated gluten and all processed food and increased fruits, veggie, and non farmed fish, she began yoga to handle stress, meditated for 20 minutes twice a day, increased sleep, took melatonin, methylcobalamin, Vitamin D3, Fish oil, CoQ, and optinmized oral hygiene. She fasted 12 hours between dinner and breakfast and exercised a minimum of 30 minutes 6 days a week. In three months she began to see results and is now able to keep a demanding job.

She must not have been a Christian for I doubt Christians do yoga for stress, and meditation is Christian meditation for Christians--not emptying the mind and chanting of medical meditation. Christians meditate by listening to God.

There are some researchers who think that Alzheimers is an autoimmune condition - the body's production of antibody's that attack certain tissues. It is thought that the seat of the problem is a 'leaky gut' or intestinal permeability and an autoimmune condition can be reversed by adopting a diet that cuts out the common foods that trigger this effect, most especially gluten and often all grains, dairy products, nuts seeds and soy in particular.

There is a diet called the autoimmune/elimination protocol which starts very strict but when the gut heals one can reintroduce foods, always keeping watch for adverse effects which will be different for each person.

I have 5 autoimmune conditions, Hashimotos thyroiditis being the worst one. These have been brought about by a massive exposure to mercury when very young, pesticide and Lyme disease later on leaving me unable to be treated by an medication and seriously sick and unable to helped by any doctor.

The Lord has intervened though and showed me the autoimmune diet along with getting plenty of sun without sunscreen and glasses, grounding with bare feet, correcting circadian rythm with blue blocking glasses where there is a screen or artificial light, and rising with the sun, getting out in it for early morning walks.

Within a year I have got my life back and seen the reversal of many of my symptoms including the cure of peripheral neuropathy, sleep apnea, reduction of blood sugar, and able to take part in life again even to having a holiday (in the sun and sea of course).

There is a Doctor Wahls who has reversed her advanced MS and enabled her to leave her wheelchair behind, travelling the world to give talks. MS is also autoimmune. Doctors will say there is no cure for autoimmunity. What they mean is they don't have a cure. Experience shows otherwise.

I finally heard that the research dose of Resveratrol is 200 mg. per day. Sis has deteriorated more rapidly lately, but has slowed again with the upping of the Resveratrol. The biggest problem now, aside from her poor diet is that she is balking at taking pills, but I keep trying.

On a side note it looks like we may be getting some real healing from doctors soon if what this article says actually works out. Big pharma. won't like it though and will throw a monkey wrench in where they can. Here is the site address

I like the various posts for treating Alzheimer's, but most of them would be to involved for sis at this point. Thank you all for information and here is a supplement that may also help. It is called Fisetin. Sis seems to be helped by it, but she is quite far down the road to come back quickly if at all. I googled Fisetin and a site called selfhacked.com has some encouraging information about it.

But IF the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you (allowed to live in us), He that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead shall also quicken (energize, make alive) your mortal body by His Spirit that lives in you. (see 2 Corinthians 3:17 – where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty, freedom!)

1 Peter 2:24
Jesus carried our sins in his own body on the cross, so that we, being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.

[FONT=&quot]That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

Isaiah 53:4, 5
Jesus has carried our grief (pain, anxiety, calamity, disease, sickness), and carried our sorrows (anguish, affliction, feelings of pain, sadness and sorrow): yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted....but He was wounded (to wound, to break, be slain or killed) for our transgressions, He was bruised (crush, destroy, oppress, to collapse) for our iniquities: the punishment (violence, rebuke) of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. (He took our wounds, so we could take his wholeness & health in every area of life)

Proverbs 4:20-23
Attend to My words; incline your ear unto My sayings....let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart....for they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh....keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it flow the forces of life.

James 5:15
The prayer of faith shall save the sick (from being sick!)

[FONT=&quot]If you will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD your God, and will do that which is right in His sight, and will give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will not put any diseases upon you, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that heals you.

Exodus 23:24-26[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do their works: but you shall utterly overthrow them, and destroy their images.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: and you will live out the full span of your lives.

I have read online accounts of dietary alterations used in the prevention or delay of Alzheimer's onset. Alas no cure has been found. Interestingly, I have read of the use of mantras along with yoga as treatment such as,

Let us hope these can be of help to those in need.

There is evidence connecting Alzheimer's to fungal infections.

There simply is no one answer to turning around reversing alzheimers or dementia. It is a matter of feeding the body and mind for a long time of foods that build and don't destroy. Sometimes it is finding what is interfering with good health. If that is done before the brain cells are destroyed, the Lord will build the brain back so it operates well.

Dr. Andrew Weil is the founder and director of the U of Ariz Center for Integrative Medicine. It has been deternined that inflamation in the body is one of the major causes of these brain disorders. He has put an inflamatory diet pyramid on his website that is considered the best one. It isn't hard to follow and the food is wonderful. Lots of people follow the diet just to feel good. Feeling good without buying expensive medicine is a great payoff.

There are many things to take that are not harmful to the liver and help with general health. Many are listed on this thread.

There is a wonderful tea that is very anti inflammatory. It is used like we use coffee in some countries. It is basically made of hot water and from 1/4 teas to a rounded teas of tumeric per cup. When a little pepper is added it helps absorbtion. I like it with a little honey and some minced fresh ginger. I freeze the blended ginger in little piles, then after the piles are frozen I put them in a freezing container.

 

[shittim]

I was led by the Lord to start taking turmeric after a bad medical condition caused a pretty nasty loss of function, heard about the method of adding some black pepper to exponentially increase the absorbtion and have been doing that also. Ginger doesn't seen as easy for me to add to the mix as it seems to not agree with me as much, had used ginger powder, maybe I should cut back a little on the amount.
It is my understanding turmeric helps rebuild the synapses in the brain as well as cutting down on inflammation, also has been shown to be effective against some types of cancer.

It looks like scientists might be onto something in treating certain
types of dementia and degenerative brain diseases.

Looks like they have a long way to go, but I suppose the more
avenues that are explored, the more likely they will find the right key.

ever notice how it seems that you're either in one camp or the other?

really, it's a growing process, done with love and dedication in our walk with Christ...

 

[Crustyone]

Scientist are experimenting with Hops now. This is an article on Xanthohumol(zan-tho-hu-mol) found in hops that seems to help with Alzheimer's. It says that it is a link for cancer, but that's not the emphasis of the article. http://links.cancerdefeated.com/a/7...1LTE0MDJlYzZmMWJkY0BjYW5jZXJkZWZlYXRlZC5jb20i
