i defer to my previous statement about the most imperative action: get
professionally evaluated by a reputable alzheimers research facility.
Len,
I really dont know how else to try to tell you the situation.
I will try this..........
Let us suppose you have heart disease..........imagine if you decided
to eat 5 tablespoons of margarine a day thereafter because you heard
it can make you a happier person.
That is basically what you are doing with MgT as it relates to the
DISEASE called Alzheimer's.
If you really think you may have alzheimers (about a 5%-10% risk from
50yrs-85yrs old), you need to be professionally evaluated IMO, perhaps
a SPECT test and short-term memory test by appropriate clinician.
Alzheimers is a chronic, PROGRESSIVE, degenerative disease--MgT will
not do ANYTHING to affect the progression of the disease itself.
Deterioration can be rapid...........but i see many ppl expire after
about 10yrs after diagnosis.......death from secondary assault
usually.
To be fair, there are no ESTABLISHED accepted
interventions..............
I can tell you what MIGHT help (as in prevent or slow progression), in
what i feel is the correct order of intervention that must be cleared
by a physician:
1. cardiovascular exercise, 75% maximal target HR, 35minutes a day,
5days a week
2. DNB training, TNB training--30minutes a day, at a level that is
very difficult for you, 5days a week--this should provide much mental
stimulation/plasticity--it is IMPERATIVE, imo, to stay very mentally
and socially active.
3. Quality fish oil like minami EPA-plus
4. A couple tablespoons of olive oil a day with food
5. A glass of red wine every night
6. A handful of organic blueberries every day
now, the following might be beneficial, just an opinion, and i have no
idea if it is true:
Learn to play the piano vigorously and proficiently and play 3 times a
week, an hour a day, ad infinitum
Consider 1 capsule of longvida curcumin every 8hours on an empty
stomach
If i thought i was going to get alzheimer's, you can bet your arse i
would take that particular curcumin...........but i would probly take
TWO capsules every SIX hours on an empty stomach.
i have no idea if it is efficacious in the human for AD, but it has
other benefits anyway (anti-tumor/cancer, anti-inflammatory)
