Guest guest Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hi Health Activists, Dr.Robert Rowen,MD in his newsletter Second Opinion _www.secondop inionnewsletter.com_ (http://www.secondopinionnewsletter.com) of August 2008 wrote about the remarkable improvement in Alzheimers Disease after the administration of the prescription drug etanercept, trade name Enbrel. The resulting improvement in clarity of thought was rapid and substantial. The critics of Alternative Medicine, frequently state that we never have anything good to say about prescription drugs. Sadly they are right about the risks of most prescription drugs exceeding the benefits. This is one of those exceptions, but it is not without a risk that has to be weighed. Enbrel is an older drug used for treatment of arthritis. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory drug. The drug is administered by a doctor injecting it into the spinal canal in the neck at the base of the skull. The patient must then be tilted so that the drug flows up into the brain. This must be done weekly until improvement stabilizes. The researchers at UCLA Medical Center have followed patients for as long as 3 years without regression of symptoms. It is a very skillful procedure and you need a doctor who is knowledgeable about this delicate procedure. The drug Enbrel is not without risk in and of itself. It has produced Multiple Sclerosis type symptoms in some patients. But the substantial benefit in Alzheimers Disease may be worth the risk. In the long run view this study, by highlighting the inflammatory process as one of the principal causes of Alzheimers may point the way toward more natural and safer treatments for Alzheimers Disease. Below find the Medline study of this drug. _http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18644112?ordinalpos=1 & itool=EntrezSystem2.
