This document discusses factors that contribute to dementia and Alzheimer's disease, as well as natural tools that may help support brain health. It outlines several contributing factors such as amyloid-beta peptide, neurofibrillary tangles, homocysteine, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Natural tools discussed include nitric oxide from noni extract, ashwagandha, B vitamins, tocotrienols, and essential oils. Essential oil aromatherapy was found to significantly increase cognition scores in an elderly population including Alzheimer's patients.
Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular disease causing muscle weakness that worsens with activity and improves with rest. Antibodies attack acetylcholine receptors at the neuromuscular junction, reducing muscle stimulation. Symptoms include drooping eyelids, double vision, difficulty speaking and swallowing. While there is no cure, treatment aims to reduce antibodies and improve transmission at the neuromuscular junction through immunosuppressants and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Patients require education on exacerbating/alleviating factors and signs of crisis to safely manage the fluctuating nature of the disease.
Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder ,It's never too late to come out of Alzheimer's disease.Here are some easy interesting Tips and solutions that could help you in reducing your Alzheimer.
The document discusses several potential causes and risks associated with depression and Alzheimer's disease. It notes that depression affects over 40 million Americans and is the 4th leading cause of disability worldwide, costing over $200 billion per year. Several sections discuss research linking depression to factors like aluminum, MSG, chemical exposures, and nutritional deficiencies. The document also warns of risks associated with antidepressant medications, including increased suicidal thoughts in children and questions about their effectiveness compared to placebos.
This document discusses Alzheimer's disease, including what it is, stages of the disease, causes and risk factors, diagnosis methods, current treatments, impact on caregivers, and ongoing research efforts. Some key points include:
- Alzheimer's is a progressive brain disease that destroys memory and thinking skills. It involves the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
- Risk factors include age, family history, and lifestyle factors like diet, smoking, alcohol consumption and mental/social activity levels.
- Diagnosis involves medical history, exams, tests and brain imaging to evaluate symptoms and rule out other conditions.
- Current treatments can temporarily improve symptoms but do not stop
- Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills. It is now considered a major public health problem affecting millions of older Americans.
- The disease is characterized by the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques and tau neurofibrillary tangles in the brain, which disrupt communication between neurons. It typically progresses from mild memory loss to severe brain damage over a period of years.
- While the causes are not fully known, risk factors include genetics, age, and lifestyle. Diagnosis involves ruling out other conditions through medical exams, tests, and brain imaging. Currently available treatments can only temporarily slow symptoms but not stop or reverse the disease process.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disease that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. It accounts for 60-70% of dementia cases. The disease is characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain that damage neurons and disrupt communication between brain cells. There are two main types - early-onset Alzheimer's affects those aged 30-60 and is rare, while late-onset Alzheimer's is more common in those aged 60 and older. As the disease progresses, symptoms worsen from mild memory loss to difficulties with language, orientation, mood, motivation, self-care, and behavior. Eventually, patients withdraw from social life due to severe cognitive impairment.

10 SECRET STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE COGNITIVE ABILITY — YOU SHOULD KNOW
Source: ImDaya
Cognitive ability is very important in having reasonably high heredity and being stable over the course of a lifetime. In other words, both shared and non-shared environments during the prenatal period, infancy, and childhood, as well as correlated and evoked environments that become increasingly non-shared in adolescence and adulthood, all play a significant role in the emergence and flourishing of cognitive abilities.
Brain chemicals can also impact our cognitive ability, and they can also help us to prevent brain aging. As we grow older our capacity to produce these chemicals also get deteriorated. Music can help us feel better and keep our brains younger. It is mental therapy.
Cognitive ability is deteriorated with age, especially when multitasking is required. The elderly have more trouble moving between tasks when it comes to paying attention to numerous lanes of traffic or recognizing if someone is going to walk off a curb at a busy crossroads, for example.
Cognitive Abilities; such as quick information processing and efficient attention management reach their pinnacle in adolescence. How fortunate that most college and vocational students are at a stage of development when the brain is functioning at its best.
In this article I am sharing 10 ways to improve your cognitive ability and prevent brain aging or al tease; reduce the speedy brain aging process.
WHAT IS COGNITIVE ABILITY?
One of the well-researched areas of behavioral genetics is cognitive ability. For humans to adapt and survive, cognitive ability, often known as general intelligence, is crucial. The ability to “reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, absorb complicated concepts, learn quickly and efficiently, and learn from experience” are all included in cognitive ability.
The capacity to analyze events, determine what is required, and plan a course of action is supported by intelligence, which goes beyond memorization. Cognitive ability is tightly linked to results in terms of work, occupation status, and health.
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder with severe dementia. Due to the accumulation of Beta-Amyloid proteins acetyl-choline producing neurons are getting degenerated. Alzheimer's disease is one of the most devastating brain disorders of elderly humans. It is an under-treated and under-recognized disease that is becoming a major public health problem.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and debilitating disease that robs those affected of their abilities to communicate, think clearly, function independently, and remember friends and family. It is caused by plaques and tangles forming in the brain that damage and kill neurons. There is no known cure, but some treatments can help slow progression. Prevention through lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, and mental stimulation may reduce risk. Alzheimer's places a large emotional and financial burden on patients and their families.
This document discusses Alzheimer's disease and its effects. It provides information on what Alzheimer's is, its causes and risk factors, symptoms, how it progresses and changes the brain, current treatments being researched like stem cells, and the importance of dental care for those with Alzheimer's. It notes that Alzheimer's gradually destroys memory and cognitive abilities. Plaques and tangles in the brain are hallmarks of the disease and it spreads throughout the brain over time, shrinking it significantly.
1. During adolescence, the brain undergoes synaptic pruning which reduces neurons and connections, leaving more efficient configurations. Children activate more brain regions than adults for tasks.
2. As people age, the brain undergoes structural changes like ventriculomegaly where ventricles expand up to 1% per year. Different brain regions and tissues are susceptible to aging.
3. Gray matter consists of cell bodies and white matter consists of axons connecting neurons. These brain matters change during aging.
Here's breaking news for those affected by Alzheimer's! Four new drugs are being tested that work in a unique manner, unlike other current medicines. Below are the exciting details on these up-and-coming drugs.

What are the Risk Factors of Brain Stroke?Keystone Heart
Brain stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bleeds or is blocked by a clot, depriving brain tissue of oxygen. The main risk factors for brain stroke include an unhealthy diet high in saturated fats that can increase blood pressure and cholesterol, high blood pressure, certain medications like blood thinners, excessive alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity. Maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, monitoring blood pressure, taking medications appropriately, and drinking alcohol in moderation can help reduce the risk of brain stroke.
1) Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults.
2) Symptoms include memory loss, language problems, and unpredictable behavior. There is no cure for Alzheimer's, but medications and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms.
3) The global prevalence of Alzheimer's is projected to nearly double every 20 years, increasing the economic burden. Early diagnosis and intervention are important to close the treatment gap.
Using Food to Optimize Your Cognitive FunctionAssisted Choice
Cognitive function tends to slowly decline as we age, but overall should not dramatically change in healthy individuals. Although impaired cognitive function is a very real threat, with proper nutrition you can slow the process down dramatically.
Kerri Groen, Director of Nursing and Wellness Services for Assisted Choice
The document discusses Alzheimer's disease including its causes, symptoms, stages, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies. Some key points are:
- Alzheimer's is caused by death of neurons and the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
- Symptoms include memory loss, problems with language, disorientation, and changes in mood/behavior. The disease progresses through mild, moderate and severe stages.
- Diagnosis involves ruling out other conditions and may include cognitive tests and brain imaging. Currently there is no cure but medications can temporarily improve symptoms. Maintaining brain and body health may help prevent Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. It is a progressive, degenerative brain disease that causes deterioration of brain cells and ultimately death. It starts with damage to the hippocampus, making it harder to form new memories over time. Plaques and tangles then spread throughout the brain, killing cells and compromising function. While there is no cure, medications can help slow cognitive decline. Support from family caregivers is also important for managing the condition.
A review on treatment of alzheimer diseasePriti Pal
This document provides a review of treatment for Alzheimer's disease. It discusses the various stages of Alzheimer's and current medications used for treatment, including cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine. Research is ongoing to develop new treatment approaches, such as using genetically modified stem cells to reduce amyloid plaques in the brain and exploring the role of insulin in Alzheimer's progression. Overall, the review examines the pathology of the disease and summarizes both existing pharmacological interventions and promising areas of research toward developing more effective Alzheimer's treatments.

Memory Support
There are many aspects to brain health. We have all
experienced mornings when we wake up and struggle with
simple tasks feeling “brain-fogged.” People who struggle
through the stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s (AD) face
this reality daily.
This issue we will explore multiple contributing factors to
dementia and all of the available tools (essential oils,
superfoods and other natural compounds) and how each
tool works to support brain health. I hope this information
will be useful for all of us!
Contributing Factors of
Dementia &AD:
✦ ABP (amyloid-beta peptide) is a nasty toxic molecule
that not only directly kills nerve cells but also produces
excessive amounts of free radicals. https://drnibber.com/nitric-oxide-
alzheimers-disease/
Information provided is for educational purposes only and not intended to diagnose, prescribe or treat any health concerns.
Memory Support
Protocol 1
Apply 1-2 drops each of:
Frankincense, Vetiver &
Rosemary
To the base of the skull, crown
of head and behind the ears
2-4 times daily.
Apply Wild Orange &
Peppermint to the bottoms of
feet 1-2 times daily.
Protocol 2
Rotate with:
Immortelle (Anti-Aging blend)
Apply to the Base of the skull,
crown of head and behind ears
2-4 times daily.

✦ Neurofibrillary tangles -
are insoluble twisted fibers
found inside the brain's cells.
These tangles consist primarily
of a protein called tau. This
forms part of a structure called
a microtubule which helps
transport nutrients and other
important substances from
one part of the nerve cell to
another. In Alzheimer's
disease, however, the tau
protein is abnormal and the
microtubule structures
collapse. http://www.brightfocus.org/
alzheimers/infographic/amyloid-plaques-
and-neurofibrillary-tangles
✦ Homocysteine - is an amino acid that is generally present in our blood in tightly controlled
concentrations. However, when excess amounts are produced, the amino acid is prone to
oxidation… https://drnibber.com/alzheimers-disease-b-vitamins-fight-back-against-the-curse-of-homocysteine/
✦ Oxidative Stress - Growing evidence has demonstrated that oxidative stress is an important
factor contributing to the initiation and progression of AD. http://www.hindawi.com/journals/omcl/
2013/316523/
✦ Inflammation - Alzheimer patients have
increased inflammation markers. It was
thought at first that when tissue is destroyed
in the brain, it causes inflammation. But, now
there is reason to think that inflammation is
part of the reason for the early destruction.
http://jonlieffmd.com/blog/inflammation-and-dementia
✦ White Matter Lesions - found in stroke,
Alzheimer’s and other dementia patients.
This scar tissue is what blocks brain-signal
traffic.
Information provided is for educational purposes only and not intended to diagnose, prescribe or treat any health concerns.
Oxidized homocysteine is highly toxic to many cells including blood vessels; it may
cause atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, or in the case of the brain,
death of neurones.
3. www.healthynorthwest.com www.mydoterra.com/thepuredrop July 9, 2016
Natural Tools:
✦ Nitric Oxide (NO) - Noni Extract triggers the
production of NO in the body. The Mayo Clinic
looked into the link between NO and AD through
a number of elegant experiments and came to the
following conclusions:
NO seems to affect the production of ABP but
does not affect its clearance suggesting that NO
donors may work as preventative of AD rather
than reversing AD. https://drnibber.com/nitric-oxide-
alzheimers-disease/
✦ Ashwagandha - In effect, ashwaganda aids the
clearance of the amyloid peptide from the brain.
Compared to control (untreated) mice, the
ashwaganda treated mice had… lower levels (of
amyloid peptide) in the brain area particularly in the
key areas like the cortex and the hippocampus
which is the center of the brain for memory and
learning.
The results of the ashwaganda study were so
stunning that an independent laboratory in Canada
was asked to validate them. https://drnibber.com/new-mice-
study-reveals-ashwaganda-reverses-symptoms-of-alzheimers/
✦ B Vitamins - Recently a study in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences discussed how B vitamins (specifically folic acid, B6 and B12) may be able to slow
the development of Alzheimer’s disease, slowing the shrinkage of brain volume (Douaud et al.
2013).
One of the biggest causative factors of Alzheimer’s is elevated homocysteine levels. According
to research, homocysteine is involved in some of the biggest health dangers of our time,
Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even osteoporosis. https://drnibber.com/b-
vitamins-for-alzheimers-homocysteine-strikes-again/
Information provided is for educational purposes only and not intended to diagnose, prescribe or treat any health concerns.
The McGill researchers confirmed the same dramatic reduction
of the peptide and compared the effects of ashwaganda to
“Like vacuum cleaning the brain to get rid of unwanted amyloid plaque.”
The Mayo Clinic also concluded, “When NO production was increased… the levels of
ABP decreased and there was a significant improvement in memory of animals.”
Supplements containing 5-MeTHF, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 are clinically proven
to reduce elevated homocysteine, and… can slow the development of disease.
4. www.healthynorthwest.com www.mydoterra.com/thepuredrop July 9, 2016
✦ Tocotrienols - Are the most potent form of Vitamin E. Scientists at Universiti Teknologi
Mara, in Malaysia, conducted a two-year investigation on 121 volunteers with white matter
lesions. At the end of the two-year study, the placebo group showed an increase in white
matter lesions — but in the group that took the tocotrienols, no new white matter lesions had
formed. http://www.alsearsmd.com/2015/12/vitamin-e-tocotrienols-can-save-your-brain/
Tocotrienols speed healing of WMLs,
help prevent dementia. Even in
comas, the brains of patients can be
rebuilding "white matter" and
creating new pathways, so that
damaged areas, like speech and motor
control, can eventually reconnect.
Tocotrienols not only speed up the
healing process, they also shield brain
cells from dementia in the future.
http://www.alternative-medicine-digest.com/
benefits-of-tocotrienols.html
✦ Essential Oils - In a study from Japan’s Tottori University medical school, researchers tested
28 elderly people including 17 Alzheimer’s disease patients using aromatherapy.
During a 28 day period preceded and followed by two wash-out period of 28 days, the researchers
gave the subjects aromatherapy using Rosemary and Lemon essential oils in the morning
and Lavender and Orange essential oils in the evening.
The study found a significant increase in cognition scores in the Touch Panel-type Dementia
Assessment Scale (TDAS) test.
Information provided is for educational purposes only and not intended to diagnose, prescribe or treat any health concerns.
