Problems Finding Your Way Around May Be Early Sign Of Alzheimer's

Scientists from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Glasgow University injected mice with a protein called IL-33 on a daily basis, which resulted in a full reversal in cognitive decline and the symptoms of Alzheimer’s in a matter of days.

Though the tests have so far been limited to rodents, the team believes it possible that the same technique could be used to treat human patients.

The mice had been bred to exhibit the same kinds of symptoms as those of Alzheimer’s, though within a week were brought back to their prior cognitive capacities with the protein injections. IL-33 is a protein naturally present in the body, which has been linked to a reduction in the amyloid plaque development that causes Alzheimer’s and its devastating symptoms.

Could you tell me how much this procedure costs and how long it takes to get an appointment. My cousin is the same age and has the same affliction.
Her immediate family is besides themselves and would be grateful for anything that might help her.

I’ve been told by more than one doctor that injection is the only effective way to administer B-12.

I heard folic acid too. I started 15 years ago after hearing a study done on Nun’s.

I'm not a fanatic 8^ ) If it meant staying alive or keeping what little of my mind I have left(absolutely miniscule according to some) I would absolutely take an injection every day.

I think I read of it in either a Swedish or Swiss study.

My dad has been taking it for over 25 years every day. He just turned 88 and is sharp as a tack.

Your mileage may vary.

I heard that the Nun’s they studied had showed no sign of memory loss. They all had taken folic acid every day and had a daily route. Don’t know why they all took it.

My mother died of Lou Gehrig’s disease and I thought maybe the folic acid would help me. My mother had a poor spin for years.

I found noopept, CDP Choline (also known as “citicoline”), and Alpha-GPC, to work well together.

The noopept is very powerful, so really, only take the tiniest amount. You should use a scale capable of very light measures.

I would suggest looking into folate as Metafolin, because this is the actual active form.

There’s not a good understanding of what happens to folic acid in the body. It’s not believed to be capable of being stored for long, but unconverted, it’s not known to be excreted, either.

If it’s like iron, it takes a different form, but this isn’t known for folic acid.

Get your ulcers healed. Two things: Get the H. Pylori test (poop test is most accurate) and if you have it, take the antibiotic regimen. Then, help heal your ulcers with fresh juiced cabbage juice. There were two old US Army studies done with x-rays showing how super fresh cabbage juice helped address ulcers. Look it up. You would have to drink it within minutes of juicing.

With our ability to scan down to the cellular level, I’ve always wondered why an Alzheimer’s treatment or cure hasn’t been developed by now. I’m a complete layman, but it seems like a scan of someone before onset of the condition, and then after it has developed, would show SOME element missing or perhaps introduced that is causing the symptoms.

” I have been researching masenchygal stem cell treatment here in Phoenix at the-stem-cell-center.com She has been scheduled for treatment procedure on May 4th and they take her own fat stem cell tissue from her own body, run the stem cells through their lab, and renter the stem cells THE SAME Day into her body through intervenious injection and intranasal spray”

Best wishes for a successful treatment.

I read about this also, as a promising treatment.

There doesn't seem to be a “cure-all” even in medicinal foods.

Health fads and healthy diets seem to come in fad-waves.

First they expounded the values of low cholesterol foods, then they told us we need to consume tons of Calcium, then they shifted to Omega 3, then they shifted to antioxidants.

We were told to eat a Mediterranean diet, a Paleo diet a Blood type diet, so on and so forth. They told us to reduce caffeine intake, sugar intake, Sodium intake, so on and so forth. THERE IS NO CURE ALL.

One must eat less processed foods, more vegetables & fruits and LESS food.

The key is to reduce QUANTITY and eat more modestly...

We got her scheduled in late March and so it was about 6 weeks and the cost is 7,100 half of which we paid by credit card upon making the appt and the other half to be brought in at the time of treatment via cashiers check. We have a gofundme.com/rww9vasc that I put on my Facebook page to help raise money for her. We are praying for God to use this to help heal Sherry and to bring this to attention for others.
I don’t view it as a coincidence that the center is here in Phoenix, Az and that we are only 20 minutes drive from the center.
God is mighty, and we have so many people praying!

NOT folic acid. Folate. Take folate.
