Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease [click for details]
Alzheimer's disease treatments are difficult to enforce because even today there are no diagnostic criteria accurately. It required a brain biopsy, complete with a study of neurobiological markers. Recently developed an improved method of early diagnosis of BA using Sym-Path test, found in Canada by Andree Roberge, the quantitative determination of a protein that is secreted by the sympathetic nervous system in conditions of chronic stress. The method is even more necessary to find an aging population, both worldwide and to every country.
Herbal treatments
Tell recipes with herbs that stimulate brain activity and protects the body against Alzheimer's disease evolution.
v Decoction of 40 g dry leaves of Gingko biloba in 1 liter of water, boil on low heat for 1 hour in a closed container and drink 3 cups a day, having protective effects on neuro-sensory cells of the brain and in case of premature aging of the brain.
v Infusion of 5-10 g dried leaf saschiu (Vinca minor) to 500 ml boiling water, is infuzeaza 10 minutes and Drink 2-3 cups a day. High content of vincamine has stimulating effects of mental faculties, increase blood flow through brain capillaries and tissue oxigerare irrigated with blood.
v Infusion of green tea beneficial in Alzheimer's disease with tratatarea effect in the reduction of beta-amyloid plaques that generate tracks.
v Decoction of a mixture of 20 g dry leaves of Gingko + 20 g dry leaves saschiu to 1 liter of cold water, boil 30 minutes, is infuzeaza 15 minutes and Drink 2-3 cups a day to boost memory function degraded.
v Soak 1 tablespoon of leaves + flowers + fruits of hawthorn in 250 ml of cold water to cover leave for 12 hours, drink 2 cups per day in cases of neglect and simple lapse. Recipe author: bucks (Belis), Gingko, saschiu (Vinca), rosemary, basil, chicory, hawthorn and sage, with adaus of Swedish bitters (1 teaspoon to cup).
Apitherapy
Tell a preparation of honey, propolis and pollen, mixed with sea buckthorn fruits.
Diet
Both sufferers and the healthy need to know that all parts of the body, the brain is most "gourmet" and needs a large amount of energy to the gray matter where they work, without interruption, over 100 billion nerve cells, each each cell linked to 10,000 neurons. Every second, brain, well fed, receive or transmit information or messages million.
Although human brain weighs only 2-3% of body weight, it consumes about 20% of the energy stored in food daily. These figures show a strong links between thinking skills and the quantity or quality of food ingested.
A menu dedicated to strengthening the memory, concentration power and creativity, involve a juice diet for 2 months and cruelty of which not miss carrot juice (150 ml 3 times daily 10 minutes before meals), apple juice (200 ml 2 times a day, 10 hours and 16) and orange juice (at least half a cup daily). These juices act to reduce the risk of stroke and intellectual tensions due to the high in vitamins (especially C).
Depending on season, diet is filled with strawberries and strawberry (minimum 150 g / day) to relieve daily stress, giving a sense of spiritual comfort, because content on lecithins.
Some vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, celery, potatoes, onions, radishes) stimulates damaged memory and prevent Alzheimer's disease evolution in effect against mental fatigue and mental breakdown.
In people who have lost a part of the intellectual functions of pineapple fruit is recommended (for actors and musicians) and bananas (for athletes that fell calm and self-confidence).
A recommendation of French researchers is correlated with the effect of weekly consumption of fish, seafood (mussels, shrimps 100 g daily) and overseas oil (in capsules) that contains an unsaturated fatty poliacid important type of omega-3. These products substantially reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by protecting blood vessels and the regeneration of damaged nerve cells.
We can not exclude the mass consumption of a glass of red wine (no more!) Which prevents the occurrence of BA, by reducing the incidence of psychiatric and neurological disorders.
The system of nutrition, in people aged over 60-65 years, will ensure appropriate ceiling vitamin B 9 (folic acid), which is in green vegetables (spinach, lettuce, Steve, parsley, green onion, broccoli, dandelion ) as well as corn, chicken and beef liver. This vitamin is involved in the synthesis of several neuro-transmitters and participate in the smooth functioning of the brain.
Excluded from eating pork, animal fats, coffee, alcoholic beverages in excess, sugar and white sugar products and by stimulating additives, chemical dyes and stabilizers, which can cause memory loss, autism and Alzheimer's disease. Even white bread should be replaced with black bread, rye or Graham.
Conditions of life
People affected by BA in need, necessarily the physical and moral support of family, some people become completely dependent on permanent care, day and night.
Patients show some serious behavioral disorders such as:
- Wrong choice of dress according to the terms of year and day;
- Failure of order consequential to the dressing and end buttons;
- How unusual the food and the use of cutlery;
- Serious disturbances of language with signs of aphasia (misuse of words to reach and stubborn silence to silence);
- General apathy towards the state of indifference surrounding activities;
- Signs of aplasia with abnormal gait and balance to step shamble, because muscle atrophy;
- Fear of solitude and darkness;
- Forgetting the name of the family, dates, difficulties in calculating simple arithmetic operations and reduce the vocabulary in a few words placed chaotic;
- Urinary incontinence and stool.
In patients suffering from Alzheimer's seizures often occur and the desire to vagrancy, leaving the home in the unknown, without dwelling remember address. Has recently been launched in Paris, a bracelet-phone called Colomba 'racing locomotive, which can be worn by patients to be tracked in their wanderings.
Persons employed for permanent assistance must be "strong" in terms of physical and mental energy. They must face many problems of the nature of emotional, social, physical and economic. These people will all love sick attached and will be attentive to the symptoms of the disease to intervene in time, because any delay could have serious effects. It is worth to mention that, at present, 70,000 women in Romania provide high quality care for elderly and neurological patients in Italy, was particularly appreciated by the Italian forums for services provided. If it will ensure adequate financial resources, will be eligible for such care and people in Romania, using high quality local staff.
Present realities show that in the socio-economic conditions in Romania can not be ensured only diagnosis in 30% of patients suffering from Alzheimer's Romanian and only 10% of them can benefit from appropriate therapy international norms. This situation is because the Health Insurance House national grant programs are not disease of memory.
What measures may be taken?
Long experience has shown that the idea of internment excluded hospitals nervous patient will be heavily traumatized because a new framework of life, surrounded by people all necunoacute.In first will pursue compliance with a permanent training program memory, attention and thinking through a gymnastic of the mind which is able to keep the brain active state. The patient will be urged to become more involved in everyday life, with family, and pursue recreational activities, intellectual, physical and social evolution that will delay the disease, regardless of the level of previous schooling or profession exercitata.In these activities is include lectures in any field, study foreign languages, cross word absolution. Follow the urge to comment, with their arguments, current events, subjects read books and watched movies on TV The rehearsal will ensure the consolidation of new events in memory and information, involving such neurons in the brain to synthesize new proteins and nucleic acids, with transmitatori.Dupa role performing exercise for 30 minutes at least twice a week combined with daily walking down a minimum of 3 km, is welcomed by a light massage and bath program generally followed by a deep sleep and restful, that allows the recovery of many lost memories.

Despite general pessimism considered as incurable Alzheimer's disease be filed now, great efforts to develop future strategies for investigating the evolution of disease and finding therapeutic solutions, effective treatment and to halt the influence of risk factors.
