Lithium, the rediscovered (missing?) element for your brain's regeneration The Misunderstood Mineral By Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. (Reprinted From "Nutrition and Healing" http://www.oradix.com/health-library/article.php?id=031 excerpt: There are many other research findings that also strongly suggest that lithium will protect against potential Alzheimer's disease and slow the progression of existing cases. Researchers have reported that lithium inhibits beta-amyloid secretion, and also prevents damage caused by beta-amyloid protein once it's been formed.20-23 Beta-amyloid peptide is a signature protein involved in Alzheimer's disease: the more beta-amyloid protein, the worse the Alzheimer's becomes. Overactivation of a brain cell protein called tau protein also contributes to neuronal degeneration in Alzheimer's disease, as does the formation of neurofibrillary tangles Lithium inhibits both of these nerve-cell damaging problems.24,25 And you've likely read that individuals with Alzheimer's disease usually have excess aluminum accumulation in brain cells. While it's not yet known whether this excess aluminum is a cause, an effect, or just coincidental, most health-conscious individuals take precautions to avoid ingesting aluminum. Unfortunately, it's impossible to completely avoid all aluminum, since it's naturally present in nearly all foods. But lithium can help protect your brain against aluminum by helping to "chelate" it so that it can be more easily removed from the body.25 Although Alzheimer's disease and senile dementia aren't technically the same, they do share many of the same degenerative features so there's every reason to expect that lithium will help prevent or slow the progression of senile dementia too. Lithium Increases Gray Matter in Bipolar Brains http://www.bio-medicine.org/medicine-news/Lithium-Increases-Gray-Matter-in-Bipolar-Brains-19815-1/ excerpt: While the brains of lithium-treated bipolar patients did not differ from those of the control subjects in total white-matter volume, their overall gray-matter volume was significantly higher, sometimes by as much as 15 percent. Lithium Orotate - Alzheimers Disease, Aluminum, Fibromyalgia: Is There a Relationship? http://www.smartbodyz.com/Lithium-Orotate-Alzheimers-Disease-Aluminum-Fibromyalgia-Pg2.htm excerpt:Chris D. Meletis, N.D. reports in Vitamin Research News, "Studies show that lithium, in general, inhibits the atrophy of the hippocampus.

Changing minds is a protocol to treat the cognitive impairment seen in down syndrome. After only 13 weeks of treatment the IQ start to rise. here you can find the protocol, a documentary trailer, testimonies and research: www.changingmindsfoundation.com and here you can see other fragments. Watch nichole who has a dual diagnostic of down syndrome + alzheimer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_vHGmPUhQ0 keep in mind that The connection between Down syndrome and Alzheimer's disease is complex. Studies of the brains of people with Down syndrome reveal that, by the age of 40, almost all develop the brain changes characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. I know the protocol use 2 prescription drugs, but one is no necessary, the other one is prosac, and its main use is for neurogenesis= creation of new neurons with strong synapses. so there is possible cure for the cognitive impairment, and the article about the lithium is very interesting, looks like it does the same as prosac. exercise stimulate neurogenesis and THC also. changingminds's protocol Protocol Ginkgo Biloba Ginkgo Biloba - In 2003, Stanford University discovered the main culprit, GABA receptor, an inhibitor, was ON continuously in individuals with Down syndrome. (View details) The result was- it did not allow the nerves in the memory area of the brain to fire. To get the proper level of GABA, a GABA antagonist was used to turn it down. (View details) Ginkgo Biloba is a GABA antagonist which has been used for over 4000 years (View details) Prozac (Fluoxetine) Prozac - The University Of Maryland School Of Medicine treated Down syndrome mice%uFFFD with prozac for 24 days (2006). It increased neurogenesis (the formation of new nerves) to a normal level (View details). This is like increasing the hardware on your computer. It allows you to run more complicated software. In fetuses with Down syndrome, neurons fail to show normal dendritic development, yielding a "tree in winter" appearance. This developmental failure is thought to result in mental retardation (View details) Focalin XR Focalin XR is an ADHD medicine that increases focus and decreases impulsiveness and hyperactivity. It is a mild stimulant. As our children improved, we became increasingly aware of their inability to attend to the tasks at hand. Phosphatidylcholine Phosphatidylcholine is a phospholipid that makes up 50% of the cell membrane. The membrane is the lining of every nerve cell that carries our signals. We are trying to heal the brain by growing new neurons and allowing them to fire. Giving PC is like bringing the bricks to the construction site when building a house. (View details) Formulated with a 4:1 Ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 in Liquid form or Softgel pills. Of the tens of thousands of molecules that make up the life of a cell, Phosphatidylcholine (PC) stands apart; probably the most important one of all. BodyBio PC is made of only pure phospholipids which automatically form liposomes in the watery environment of the body, but it goes one important step further....it is also formulated with the essential lipids at a 4:1 ratio. Most PC currently available has an EFA ratio of ~12:1. BodyBio PC not only has a higher concentration of PC, up to 66% but also maintains EFA concentration at the preferred 4:1 ratio, a BodyBio exclusive.

Researchers found that it has to do with the consumption of large quantities of turmeric (also known as kunjit) in the curry. Especially the combination of chilly powder, turmeric and cauliflower and broccoli seems to do the trick. If you prepare a curry don't just use the herbal mix form the grocery but add your own paste of vegetable oil (arachide, sunflower or sesame oil), chilli powder and turmeric powder. Wash and cut the cauliflower and broccoli and let them sit for 15 minutes before cooking, as this improves the health benefits." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/alzheimers_disease.html&name=ACT_21561 /CURES/alzheimers_disease.rss5 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 00:00:00 EST Jim from Tacoma, Wa writes: "Alzheimer's seems to be caused by the herpes virus!!!!!!!!!!!!!! see for yourself-- http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/12/081207134109.htm " http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/alzheimers_disease.html&name=CO_18412 /CURES/alzheimers_disease.rss6 Mon, 03 Nov 2008 00:00:00 EST Siggy from Munich, Germany writes: "Coconut Oil cited as Alzheimer Remedy http://www.tampabay.com/news/aging/article879333.ece I recently received this article on the benefits of coconut oil against Alzheimer's.

However these studies have only ever involved a small number of people and were reliant on participants remembering how much tea and coffee they drank earlier in their lives. This latest study showed that cognitive decline was significantly less among people who drank three cups of coffee every day. These findings add weight to the body of existing evidence suggesting long-term caffeine intake may have a protective effect against the onset of Alzheimer's disease. It is too soon to say our morning coffee or afternoon cup of tea is anything more than a pleasant pick-me-up. It is important to now research further how caffeine consumption impacts on dementia risk." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/alzheimers_disease.html&name=TURMERIC_4508 /CURES/alzheimers_disease.rss8 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST [YEA] Charles from Saint Cloud , Florida writes: "I started taking turmeric powder about 2 and a half years ago, after seeing on a famous news show that it was one of the main ingredients in a pill that was able to reduce your antioxidant level to zero. I did a little research and saw there was little Alhiemers in India, where it is a big part of the diet. I was having a bit of a memory problem at the time. Anyways, after about 3 months of taking a tablespoon a day, I noticed my shoulder pain went away. My doctor had said he could do nothing for it, as it was arthitis and that he had it also. Now I notice that I don\'t seem too concern about memory and I have regained some interest in reading articles. I have had several, 3, cases of skin cancer in the last year, hopefully its due to the years of living in a tropical climate. I tried to stop taking it a couple of times to see what would happen and my shoulder pain seem to start to come back. So apparently it did not cure it but stopped the pain and I am now able to shoot basketball or any other activity. I put it in water and stir it up and swallow the half a cup very quickly as I do not like the taste. I order it 5 pounds at a time and keep a 10 pound supply on hand. Be careful it stains things yellow." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/CURES/alzheimers_disease.html&name=ALZHEIMER\'SALUMINUM_4509 /CURES/alzheimers_disease.rss9 Tue, 30 Oct 2007 00:00:00 EDT [YEA] Diane from Foley, Alabama writes: "October 30, 2007: does exposure to aluminum cause Alzheimer\'s disease? A friend's father (65) just passed away with Alzheimer\'s. His mother (63) died over a year ago with Alzheimer\'s. They were both diagnosed within 6 months of each other. My friend said that the nutritionist noted that both parents consumed beer on weekends and drank from cans. (Cheaper) Both parents consumed 6 to 8 soda\'s a day with cans. His mother cooked meat loafs and meats in aluminum pans for easy throw-a-way. If this is true, is there a remedy to remove aluminum from the body? My husband has quit drinking soda\'s all together."
