Alzheimer's Disease is a form of brain disease. It
can cause confusion, memory loss, restlessness, problems with
perception, speech trouble, trouble moving, and fearing things that
are not there. The patient may become too excited, refuse food, and
lose bowel or bladder control. The disease often starts in later
middle life with slight defects in memory and behavior. Alzheimer's
Disease occurs as often in men as it does in women. The exact cause
is not known, but real breakdown of the cells of the brain does
occur. There is no known medical treatment, but good nutrition may
slow the progress of the disease, which lasts about 7 years for most
people who have it.
Notes: Only 50% of diagnoses are correct due to the
problem of not having conclusive evidence of the disease until after
an autopsy, where the fibrillary tangles are clearly identifiable in
the brain. The first course of action if Alzheimer's is suspected is
to strengthen the endocrine glands that produce hormones related to
brain and metabolic function. The pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and
in many cases, gonadal hormones must be reinforced prior to a more
positive diagnosis of this disease. Of further value is undergoing a
chelation program that emphasizes the chelating of heavy metals and
circulatory plaques in the brain and arteries leading to the brain.
There is more than a casual relationship between aluminum toxicity
and magnesium deficiency as primary culprits in Alzheimer's Disease.
Aluminum in any cooking, storage, or toiletries should be avoided,
as well as caffeine and foods high in phosphorous.
