Alzheimer's Disease Treatment With Green Tea and Apple Juice

Alzheimer's Disease Treatment With Green Tea and Apple
Juice by Linda J Bruton

are several recent findings and research that give promising results from some of the
most unlikely sources:

Apple Juice May Have A Positive Effect On Alzheimer's Patients

Writing the article on the effects of Apple Juice on Alzheimer's disease, Qi Dai, MD,
PhD, states, "We found that frequent drinking of fruit and vegetable juices was
associated with a substantially decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease". Surprisingly,
there has been enormous amounts of other research on the health benefits of
polyphenols including flavonoids.

Early studies suggested that polyphenols in green tea and fruit juices may be of some
help in treating Alzheimer's disease symptoms. There is stronger evidence as a
results of a recent clinical trial that the polyphenols in fruit juice may help in the fight
against Alzheimer's disease

Green tea is very popular in Japan and its consumption there might be the cause of
the lower percent of Japanese who have Alzheimer's. Japanese who live in America
and adopt the lifestyle of Americans show the same percentage of Alzheimer's as
Americans.

Drinking Tea is Thought to Have an Effect

A study by the University of Western Australia School of Medicine and Pharmacology,
and the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research (WAIMR) confirmed findings
that both tea intake and 4-O-methylgallic acid are consistent with the hypothesis that
long-term regular ingestion of tea may have a favorable effect on blood pressure in
older women. Green Tea in particular is rich in polyphenols, which have activities
consistent with blood pressure-lowering potential.

The herb industry and the supplement manufacturers are making some dramatic
claims for alternative remedies and cures for Alzheimer's disease . The recent findings
confirm that fruit juice in the treatment of dementia and Alzheimer's disease may be
worth pursuing.

As the new study points out, any new treatment that could halt or even slow the
progression of Alzheimer's disease would have a major impact on the quality of life
for patients, as well as reducing the staggering health care costs associated with the
disease.

Marijuana Shows Promise in Treating Alzheimer's

It is an interesting discovery that may usher in a new hippie movement as scientist at
The Scripps Research Institute found that the active ingredient in marijuana,
tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, inhibits the formation of amyloid plaque. The amyloid
plaques on the brain are the primary marker for Alzheimer's disease.

It may take many years for evidence to pile high enough for experts to reach a
consensus on any one treatment for Alzheimers. In the meantime, Alzheimer's
treatment will continue to rely on documented evidence.

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic
progressive neurodegenerative
disease that adversely affects higher
cortical functions in older adults.
These cortical functions include:

*Memory

*Ability to think

*Orientation

Any research that lends itself to the
study of reducing the effects of the
disease or stopping the progression
of this disease is worth note. Below
