Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease

It's common knowledge that today none of the medical specialists can name a 100% method of fighting this disease.

After numerous studies, scientists managed to find out that it is impossible to cure Alzheimer's disease, since it has an irreversible, hereditary character.

It can be said that Alzheimer's disease is inherited if one of the parents of the affected child carried a complete set of genes responsible for the disease.

If both parents are ill with this disease, the newborn baby gets a "bad" heredity, and falls ill in 75% of cases.

Treatment of Alzheimer's disease

Doctors participating in the "treatment" of the disease:

• neurologist;
• psychiatrist;
• gerontologist.

These specialists, first of all:

• ask the patient some suggestive questions;
• carefully study the complete medical history;
• reveals her anamnesis.

Special computer testing is then conducted to determine the nature of the degenerative changes in the memory of the patient.

And, finally, further treatment is carried out by an individual method.

Additional methods of examination include:

• puncture( tissue sampling) of the spinal cord to protein level;
• chemical general blood test;
• computed tomography( CT) scan of brain tissue;
• ultrasound dopplerography of arteries;
• magnetic resonance imaging( MRI).

As a result of the examination:

• , the general picture of the disease opens before the doctor;
• is the stage of the disease;
• compares the initial symptomatology;
• opens a link with some other diseases.

Often, Alzheimer's disease encounters:

• atherosclerosis;
• brain tumor;
• by Huntington's syndrome;
• by Parkinson's disease.

Drugs that slow the body's regression processes or alleviate the patient's condition can be divided into two main groups:

• medications that activate thinking and strengthen memory( Aricept, Cognex, Namende, Donapesil);
• medications for fighting apathy, depression, anxiety( Fluoxetine, Prozac, Lorazepam, Sertraline).

Traditional medicine

Traditional medicine only helps the patient to get rid of forgetfulness and absent-mindedness, but do not have any noticeable therapeutic effect.

This is an indisputable fact, with which you just have to agree and reconcile.

However, you can not prohibit any certified specialist doctor following the advice of traditional healers.

To strengthen your immune system, you can use the following folk remedies:

• alcoholic tincture of an ordinary motherwort;
• extract of Ginkgo biloba;
• decoction of the root of Vitania;
• decoction of the root of Ginseng;
• soybean Lecithin;
• restrict coffee consumption;
• drink plenty of water( up to two liters per day).

Prevention of the disease

If Alzheimer's disease can not be cured, then it can be prevented!

At the first suspicions on this disease, pass the qualified diagnostics of an organism( CT, MRT and so on).

Subject to the simplest requirements, you can move the onset of the disease to the maximum possible distance:

• monitoring of blood pressure parameters;
• controlling the sugar level;
• sufficient level of water consumption( minimum daily rate is 1.5 liters);
• fight against stress;
• consumption of vitamins;
• compliance with diet;
• application of folk remedies( aromatic baths, herbal preparations);
• hobbies, interests;
• communication;
• constant self-education( work of brain cells).

Smoking is an undeniable and established risk factor.

Therefore, quitting smoking is a unique method of preventing Alzheimer's disease.

Complications of the disease include:

• various concomitant infections( eg, pneumonia);
• all kinds of accidents( injuries);
• defective food.

Alzheimer's disease develops slowly enough, beginning with the primary memory problems, and resulting in serious brain damage.

The development of the disease takes place on an individual schedule for each person.

On average, sick patients can live for another ten years after the initial diagnosis of the disease.

Take care of yourself.
