"Among numerous medical mysteries bogging the minds of scientists for ages is the crippling power of Alzheimer's disease. Defined in Chamber's 21st Century Dictionary as ""an incurable illness, normally taking place in middle age or later on, in which degeneration of the brain cells results in gradual loss in memory, confusion, and so on ultimately leading to overall disintegration of the personality; named after the German neurologist Alois Alzheimer (1865-1915) who initially identified it"".

Never ever a fan of the term ""incurable illness"", the clinical community is intending to alter the meaning of Alzheimer's illness by finding its cure by 2025, thanks to the huge piece of funding revealed by President Obama towards Alzheimer's research study. The heat is on, as a number of researchers have actually attempted, and obviously not without success to find a remedy for the previously dreaded illness. The race to discover a cure began a few years ago when NIH scientists revealed ""Turnaround of Alzheimer's signs within minutes in human research studies"" in their article in Science Daily article released in 2008.

A couple of months earlier, a news product on the helpful effects of coconut oil appeared, with some signs of amazing healing or enhancement of easy brain activities, as a result of consuming pure saturated coconut oil every day. They further showed documents or reviews received for numerous other signs of a coconut-oil cure for Alzheimer's. Then came the vitamin group: Vitamins B, C or E. (There might be more, however I encourage you to check out those).

All of these have shown promises (stressed through a great deal of clinical thinking and research study) in reversing the symptoms. A group of UK-Canada researchers declares to have actually discovered a vaccine that brings relief in days. Apparently. the vaccine avoids or even wears down the accumulation of a protein called beta-amyloid, which is known to form plaque on brain cells, that causes Alzheimer's disease. The group's most current research study, reported in Nature, recommended that the drug restores a few of the psychological professors, in addition to getting rid of the plaque-building protein.

And lastly, the linguists, who did not wish to be left behind, claim that learning several languages (in fact, they emphasized on the term 'bilingual') can assist delay the start of Alzheimer's illness by a couple of years. I am not exactly sure if this was intended to be an attack on unilingual, however among my aunties was detected with Alzheimer's quite early on, and she is trilingual. Possibly if we can in some way make her forget one language, show that she would officially get approved for the bilingual' status, however would her condition enhance?

The outcomes of each of the above tested and proved treatment strategies appear quite appealing, which is very motivating to the loved ones of Alzheimer's patients. But taking a look at the huge image, one begins to wonder what is the validity of the range of treatment possibilities? If practically anything can cure Alzheimer's illness, then why have we been sleeping on it for all these years? Mind you, not all of these scientists guarantee a cure - the majority of them promise 'turnaround of Alzheimer's signs' (and it's too early to anticipate as much as what percentage), but a few of them do endeavor to call it a cure. And we might hear a lot more on this subject.

Actually, I have a theory myself, but first I want to discover out how does the diagnosis of the illness compares with the determination of the treatment effectiveness. While diagnostic tools to determine the electrical activity of the brain such as an electroencephalogram (EEG) and some other most current sophisticated technology have allowed medical science to pinpoint extremely directly the very nature of the illness, we know that our brain could play tricks on us, or rather, we do not understand to what level our brain might play techniques on us. Lots of people would claim that meditation, exercise, a leisure walk helps them think clearly, coordinate things much better, lower stress or in typical language, improve brain activity.

So before I share my theory on the treatment of Alzheimer's illness, I wish to understand: will my memory enhance if I opt for an EEG weekly? Now I do work out, meditate, stroll a lot on a practically everyday basis, however I do not see a definite or significant enhancement in my memory. And hello, I have been proficient at those puzzles, especially word assortments for numerous years now. I do not have the patience to resolve crossword puzzles. However all this has absolutely no bearing on the truth that my memory might use some (a lot, actually) enhancement.

And I am waiting for responses."
