Scientists make discovery in Alzheimer's

There are natural products available now which detoxify the cells. My family and many people I know use these regularly and have seen amazing health benefits. One of the first benefits I experienced was brain chemistry balance. I believe most diseases could be prevented by the regular use of a good, natural cleanse product.

I'm always interested in learning new things. What do you use?

If Alzheimers is a horrible disease, early onset alzheimers is even more horrible. I saw my ex-sister in law recently who has early onset A. She is 60 or nearly 60 and she is already helpless. She can't even feed or dress herself. She hasn't been able to carry on a conversation for many years. Seeing her like that broke my heart and makes me afraid for her daughters (my nieces).

I don't know about M.O.B., but I just moseyed on down to Sears and bought a Kenmore brainwasher. I just hook it up to the faucet, plug it in, set the timer to normal wash cycle, pop my brain in there with a half cup of Braino, and presto! That amyloid gunk is gone!

Make a video of it, we'd all love to watch.

What if amyloid isn't the cause for alzheimer's, but rather a symptom?

Their soul doesn't vanish, it simply has more difficulty making the body do something.

Name a neurodegenerative disease and you find amyloid. It's found with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, mad cow disease, ALS, etc. What did I omit? The science in neurodegenerative diseases has quite a long way to go. Maybe excess amyloid is part of a final, common pathway to neuronal cell death?

Do nerve cells die under "normal" circumstances or are they immortal?

Under "normal" circumstances, maybe they are immortal. But since neuronal stem cells have been discovered, everyone can make their own assumptions about why we have them. 8^)

To build the neurons in the first place? To replace those killed through unnatural events such as poisoning or trauma?

Your guess is as good as mine.

I feel the same way.

Another tip......Lithium Aspartate - my doc says it increases grey matter (brain cells).....I take 20mg - it's available over the counter.....the higher levels for bi-polar are more in the range of 200-400mg I believe....just FYI. My doc says those with Alzheimers, alcoholism, and mental disease (all in my family) should take it at this level.
