If I get anything definitive as far as treatments based upon this disease model, I will share then with you.

Just watching Oprah( yeah i know) the whole show was on brain health and brain aging.
Apparently India has the worldwide lowest incidence of alzheimers.

The doctor on the show said it was thouight to be attributable to the large TUMERIC in their diet.

He said tumeric is processed KER-CU-MIN. that uis how he pronounced it.

Am i correct in assuming that he is speakin of Curcumin??
if so, it further backs animals thoughts on the subject.

Also they discussed russian Rhodiola, and its positive effects on dopamine, seritonin, and male performance. not to mention immune support.

Hey everyone, I am so glad to have found this forum. I am going through this horrible disease with my mom. She 70 and was diagnosed 2 years ago. She's going through the stage where she wants to go home all the time, mostly in the evenings. She cries and asks God to help us see the truth, that she is not at home (the home her and my dad have lived in for 20 years). It's so frustrating cause I would do anything to help my parents and I feel totally helpless. We try to keep her mind stimulated, but I learning as I go so it's tough. Thanks for listening and I would appreciate any feedback.

One thing you might try is acetyl-l-carnitine as it has been used on Alzheimers patients. It is the acetylized form of the amino acid L-carnitine, not a toxic drug. It has the potential to improve mitochondrial energy production, which may help the brain to function better.

Best Regards,

George
