![In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), an association with cholesterol is recognized,
although poorly understood and often overlooked.
A study on membranes prepared from cortical grey matter of AD patients
showed that the cholesterol… was reduced by 30%
This aberrant pattern could be restored to that found in the membranes from
non-AD controls by cholesterol enrichment of the AD membranes.
It is of interest, therefore, that mice[cholesterol deficient] show many of the
neurotransmitter deficits and loss of memory that are characteristic of AD
Correspondingly, there is evidence that induced depletions of neuronal
cholesterol can affect synaptic plasticity and neurodegeneration

The document discusses several potential causes of increased rates of neurological diseases in Western nations. It notes an alarming increase in conditions like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, ADD, autism, depression, and bipolar disorder. Some causes proposed include trauma, sedentary lifestyles, artificial sweeteners, pesticides, MSG, vaccinations, and various toxins. It also discusses how certain drugs, deficiencies, and medical conditions can potentially contribute to neurological decline or mimic neurological disorders.

As a result, drugs tend to accumulate in the body. Elderly people in poor health and those taking several different medications are especially vulnerable.

Thyroid disease An overproductionof thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism) is commonly caused by Graves’ disease, while an underproduction (hypothyroidism) usually results from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.

Surgically removing the thyroid or destroying it with radioactive iodine usually corrects the cognitive problems. Hypothyroidism.

And it appears hairdressers face a higher than normal risk of suffering early- onset dementia, Alzheimer's disease and motor neurone disease. Other studies have suggested they might be linked to cancer with rates of bladder tumours in women who dye their hair twice that of those who keep their natural colour. It is thought chemicals may build up in the bladder and so damage cells. One Swedish study found that women who use hair dye for 20 years could be doubling their risk of developing arthritis. Another report suggested the dye could cause birth defects in unborn children when absorbed through a pregnant mother's scalp and into her bloodstream. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in Ohio, was based on more than 2.6million American death certificates issued between 1992 and 1998.

- 60. average personolder than 65 takes seven different drugs a day elderly people average prescriptions for more than 28 different medications yearly. IOM medication-related problems kill more than 100,000 people each year. Adverse drug effects are especially problematic in elderly persons who have age-related changes in metabolism and excretion that affect pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Studies have found that up to 30% of hospital admissions of elderly patients are linked to toxic drug effects and that one in three older patients will have an adverse drug reaction while hospitalized. Polypharmacy sets the stage for life-threatening adverse drug effects, nonadherence, and drug-drug interactions

Pesticides and headinjury are sources for Parkinson's disease "Those who were heavily exposed to pesticides had a 41 percent increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease” said lead researcher Dr. Finlay Dick, from the Department of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at Aberdeen University Medical School, Aberdeen, U.K.

By 2007, the average annual prescription rate per capita in the United States was: • 4 prescriptions per child (age 0-18) • Over 11 prescriptions per adult (age 19-64) • Nearly 29 prescriptions per senior, aged 65 and over!
- 65. Bt trait indeedled to a reduction in insecticide use of 123 million pounds between 1996 and 2011. But that figure is dwarfed by the 527 million pound, GMO-driven increase in herbicide use over the same period. In other words, GMOs have added more than four pounds of herbicides to US farm fields for every pound of insecticide they've taken away. Overall, Benbrook found, GMOs have lead to a net increase in pesticide use (meaning herbicides plus insecticides) of 404 million pounds, a 7 percent gain. And just as weeds developed resistance to year-after-year applications of Roundup, corn's number-one insect pest, the rootworm, is quickly evolving to be able to withstand Bt-engineered corn, as I've reported before. Benbrook told me that in areas of the Midwest where farmers have been planting Bt corn year after year—an increasingly popular practice, since the explosion in ethanol production that started in 2006—ag university extension experts are suggesting that farmers spray other insecticides to supplement the failing Bt trait in their corn. "The goal of this technology was to make it possible not have to spray these corn insecticides, and now we have to spray them again to bail out this technology," Benbrook told me. seeds engineered to contain the toxic-to- insects gene found in Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)

- 67. Two small trialspublished in 2000 and 2004 by Matthew Muldoon, a clinical pharmacologis at the University of Pittsburgh, seem to suggest a link between statins and cognitive problems. The first, which enrolled 209 high-cholesterol subjects, reported that participants taking placebo pills improved more on repeated tests of attention and reaction time taken over the course of six months—presumably getting better because of practice, as people typically do. Subjects who were on statins, however, did not show the normal improvement suggesting their learning was impaired. The second trial reported similar findings. And a study published in 2003 in Reviews of Therapeutics noted that among 60 statin users who had reported memory problems to MedWatch, more than half said their symptoms improve when they stopped taking the drugs Medication-Related Cognitive Impairments in the Elderly Posted: 11/11/2008 Volume 16 - Number 08 - August, 2008 12790 reads Psychiatry Rounds - See more at: http://www.clinicalgeriatrics.com/articles/Medication-Related- Cognitive-Impairments-Elderly-0?page=0,2#sthash.Wdj0rNaz.dpuf Can Too Many Medications Cause Symptoms of Dementia?
