Alzheimer's Disease

 Vitamin E was proposed as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease many years ago. However, the effectiveness of the drug is not clear. Vitamin E is an antioxidant and neuroprotector and it has anti-inflammatory and hypocholesterolemic properties, driving to its importance for brain health. Moreover, the levels of vitamin E in Alzheimer’s disease patients are lower than in non-demented controls. Thus, vitamin E could be a good candidate to have beneficial effects against Alzheimer’s. However, evidence is consistent with a limited effectiveness of vitamin E in slowing progression of dementia; the information is mixed and inconclusive. The question is why does vitamin E fail to treat Alzheimer’s disease? In this paper we review the studies with and without positive results in Alzheimer’s disease and we discuss the reasons why vitamin E as treatment sometimes has positive results on cognition.

 How to reduce Alzheimer's disease? The first step is prevention. If you have a normal health history, don't start taking any medications until your symptoms improve. For example: take the medicine or drink plenty of water before bed; try walking upstairs slowly and at low speeds (and walk with ease if it makes you dizzy); stop smoking completely once you're free from nicotine use in early adulthood; eat good foods like fruit, vegetables-rice and whole grains during high stress periods such as after work for 5 days straight." This may seem counterintuitive but remember that brain dysfunction can be caused by conditions other than AD/HD! I've been told several times in the past that I should work harder with my diet and exercise. Human Soul                  Universe star            Health
