Home Remedies for Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a common type of dementia, or decline in intellectual function. Once thought rare, Alzheimer’s disease is now known to affect more than 4.1 million people in the United States. It afflicts 10 percent of Americans over 65 years of age and as many as 50 percent of those over 85 years old. However, the disease does not affect only the elderly, but may strike when a person is in his or her forties. Most people over forty are using some type of alternative or home remedies to prevent the early development of Alzheimer’s disease.

What is Alzheimer’s disease?

This disorder was first identified in 1906 by a German neurologist named Alois Alzheimer. It is characterized by progressive mental deterioration to such a degree that it interferes with one’s ability to function socially and at work. Memory and abstract thoughts process are affected. Alzheimer’s disease is irreversible and progressive disorder that since 1906 very little progress has been made by conventional medicine to slow or prevent it. However, there are many home remedies for Alzheimer’s disease that have shown remarkable results in preventing and in some cases restore mental deterioration.

I have very pour memory. Do I have Alzheimer’s disease?

Many people worry that their forgetfulness is a sign of Alzheimer’s disease. The fact is that most of us forget where we put our car keys or our glasses or someone’s birthday but this is not a sign of Alzheimer’s disease. A few good example of the difference between forgetfulness and Alzheimer’s is the following: If you forget where you put your car keys that is forgetfulness, if you do not remember whether or not you have a car, that is Alzheimer’s, or if you forget where you put your glasses that is forgetfulness, if you do not remember whether or not you use glasses that is Alzheimer’s. Forgetfulness is also very frustrating and can also be improved by using some very powerful home remedies for memory loss.

What causes Alzheimer’s disease?

The precise cause or causes of Alzheimer’s are unknown, but research reveals a number of interesting clues. Many of them point to nutritional deficiencies. For example, people with Alzheimer’s tend to have low levels of vitamin B12 and zinc in their bodies. The B vitamins are important in cognitive functioning, and well known that processed foods have been stripped from this nutrients. In addition the average sixty year old person is likely to be taking between 8 and 10 prescription and over-the-counter drugs, these potential drug reactions and pour diet often interfere or adversely affect mentally and physically since many medications deplete crucial vitamins and minerals.

Low levels of antioxidants vitamin A and E and carotenoids are also present in people suffering from Alzheimer’s. These nutrients act as free radicals scavengers; damage caused by free radicals may expose the brain cells to increased oxidative damage.

How can I treat Alzheimer’s naturally with home remedies?

Home remedies for Alzheimer’s disease #1: According to a report published in the October 22, 1977 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), Ginkgo biloba extract can stabilize and in some cases improve the mental functioning and social behavior of people with Alzheimer’s disease.

This vitamin is added to cereal products Foods containing folate include avocados, bananas, oranges, asparagus, green leafy vegetables, and dried beans. B12 is found only in animal products. (Oily fish are very high in B12 and also have other nerve-protective properties.). I recommend 400 mcg of folic acid to reduce homocysteine, although one study suggested 800 mcg (.8 mg) a day is necessary to reduce homocysteine levels.
