alzheimer's

Just thought this was worth sharing with the potential being huge. Using a special wave of infrared this stimulates mitochondria that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the biochemical reaction in the brain’s cells...

Hi, my father has had type 1 diabetes for over 50 years. He is currently 79 and was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I'm concerned that he will soon lose the ability to monitor his blood sugar levels and administer his insulin. Is there any technology available that can measure blood sugar...

A drug developed for diabetes could be used to treat Alzheimer's after scientists found it "significantly reversed memory loss" in mice through a triple method of action. The research, published in Brain Research, could bring substantial improvements in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease...

Trace elements of lithium in drinking water may slow death rates from Alzheimer's disease, new research suggests. Rates of diabetes and obesity, which are important risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, also decrease if there is a particular amount of lithium in the water, says the study...

There is no good evidence that a nutrient drink being sold online in the UK to "help" people with early Alzheimer's actually slows the disease, say experts. Latest trial results in patients who took Souvenaid did not find it preserves memory and thinking. The authors say in Lancet Neurology...

A man with Alzheimer's has been paying hundreds of pounds a month for "unnecessary" utilities and services, his niece has claimed. Rachel Holdsworth says her uncle, 72, pays bills, including £110 for a Sky TV and phone package, £120 for gas and electric and £35 for boiler servicing. She said...

Researchers at Tohoku University have found a promising treatment for Alzheimer's disease, by noticing a similarity in the way insulin signaling works in the brain and in the pancreas of diabetic patients. "In the pancreas, the Kir6.2 channel blockade increases the insulin signaling, and...

A drug appears to slow the brain's death and preserve mental function in patients with Alzheimer's disease, a study shows. Developing such a treatment is one of the biggest challenges in medicine. But serious scientific questions remain as the drug - LMTX - inexplicably works only in patients...

A new study finds that a component of aspirin binds to an enzyme called GAPDH, which is believed to play a major role in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. Researchers at the Boyce Thompson Institute and John Hopkins University discovered...
