   Dietary and lifestyle changes can reverse memory loss in Alzheimer's, study   
   proves   
      
   by PF Louis    
      
   (NaturalNews) A recent clinical trial was jointly conducted by the UCLA Mary   
   S. Easton Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research, located in Los Angeles, CA,   
   and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in Novato, CA, 30 miles north of   
   San Francisco. Those    
   two combined resources to try a new approach for Alzheimer's patients that   
   combined several protocols according to individual needs.   
      
   Their purpose was to prove that dietary and lifestyle changes could reverse or   
   reduce memory and cognitive dysfunction, even Alzheimer's, with minimal   
   pharmaceutical intervention. The researchers tried bundles of mostly dietary   
   changes, supplements and    
   exercise routines on 10 trial participants who were suffering with various   
   stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other symptoms of dementia.   
      
   Since first being identified some 100 years ago, cases of Alzheimer's have   
   risen exponentially to become the sixth leading cause of death. At least   
   that's according to the CDC. But one wonders if there is a blurred distinction   
   between cause of death from    
   Alzheimer's or simply death with Alzheimer's, as pneumonia is usually involved.   
      
   Even if one physically survives long after Alzheimer's has become so advanced   
   that one no longer knows one's family or has any memory of his or her personal   
   history or can barely function and often functions inappropriately, that   
   person has become a    
   total invalid. The prevailing actual medical causes of Alzheimer's patients is   
   pneumonia.   
      
   After 100 years, mainstream medicine has no safe pharmaceutical solutions for   
   Alzheimer's victims, who number over 5 million in the USA. The FDA has   
   approved five drugs for treating Alzheimer's, but not one drug has been   
   successful at even slowing AD's    
   progress. The usual therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's has been combining   
   several drugs simultaneously, which creates a cascade of side effects without   
   curing the AD.   
      
   The trial used a flexible 36-point therapeutic system   
   The trial's report was published in the online journal Aging. Dale Bredesen,   
   professor of neurology and director of the Easton Center at UCLA, developed   
   the 36-point therapy that was tested in this clinical trial.   
      
   He explained how each patient needed to have the program suited to his or her   
   special needs, general health and physiology. But usually the maximum   
   pharmaceutical use was one drug only that could be reduced to none as long as   
   the FDA, AMA and Big Pharma    
   aren't looking. Perhaps that minimal drug use was to stay within "standard of   
   care" guidelines and avoid the wrath of the AMA.   
      
   The results were more favorable than any pharmaceutical trial study, and no   
   one died. Only one patient didn't improve. That was a person with advanced   
   Alzheimer's. A few who were no longer able to work returned to work fully   
   functional.   
      
   The problem with this approach within the medical monopoly presc   
   iption-writing one-size-fits-all mindset is the fact that it's complex and   
   needs to be personalized and monitored closely. Dr. Bredesen can't clone   
   himself.   
      
   Here are two simple DIY solutions: coconut oil and cannabis   
   Coconut oil is legal everywhere, and it's cheap. Coconut oil's efficacy for   
   even advanced Alzheimer's was discovered by Dr. Mary Newport when she missed   
   out on getting her husband into the latest drug trial for Alzheimer's drugs.   
      
   Mary realized that the crux of the new synthetic drug dealt with medium chain   
   triglycerides (MCTs). MCTs are easily converted by the liver into ketones,   
   which can be used by a brain struggling with oxygen for energy.   
      
   She discovered that coconut oil contained high amounts of MCTs and began   
   feeding her husband 2 to 4 tablespoons daily. His late-stage Alzheimer's soon   
   improved considerably. Here's more.   
      
   If you can get it, cannabis has demonstrated both empirical and medical proof   
   of its efficacy for Alzheimer's disease. Why bother with studies and waiting   
   for dangerous drugs if people are curing themselves of memory loss, cognitive   
   disorders and even    
   Alzheimer's safely? Here's more on this.
