Parkinson's points for Domingo (MS, Alzheimer's and other neurodgeneratives too)

[Guest guest]

Domingo, now that you mention Parkinson's, I have a well-

referenced neurodegenerative illnesses protocol on my site,with

explanations, that's has been helping a couple of patients with

Parkinsons, several with Alzheimer's and a couple with multiple

sclerosis, in addition to the supposedly fatal but now stopped

and somewhat reversed inclusion body myositis, and the rheumatoid

arthritis I think I already mentioned on this list and others.

In addition, new research I just saw prevented neurodegeneration

quite well in other animals in vivo using high-niacin, a lot like

Dr. Abram Hoffer's orthomolecular approach for other disorders.

I'll try to find it again.

 

Also, here more validation for my existing protocol from research

that I haven't linked to yet:

 

Neurodegeneration from mitochondrial insufficiency: nutrients,

stem cells, growth factors, and prospects for brain rebuilding

using integrative management.

http://tinyurl.com/pg5bu (Altern Med Rev. 2005 Dec)

 

" Exogenous toxins, such as mercury and other environmental

contaminants, exacerbate mitochondrial electron leakage,

hastening their demise and that of their host cells. Studies of

the brain in Alzheimer's and other dementias, Down syndrome,

stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic

lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease, Friedreich's ataxia,

aging, and constitutive disorders demonstrate impairments of the

mitochondrial citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation

(OXPHOS) enzymes. Imaging or metabolic assays frequently reveal

energetic insufficiency and depleted energy reserve in brain

tissue in situ.

 

Orthomolecular nutrients involved in mitochondrial metabolism

provide clinical benefit. Among these are the essential minerals

and the B vitamin group; vitamins E and K; and the antioxidant

and energetic cofactors alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), ubiquinone

(coenzyme Q10; CoQ10), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide,

reduced (NADH).

 

Recent advances in the area of stem cells and growth factors

encourage optimism regarding brain regeneration. The trophic

nutrients acetyl L-carnitine (ALCAR), glycerophosphocholine

(GPC), and phosphatidylserine (PS) provide mitochondrial support

and conserve growth factor receptors; all three improved

cognition in double-blind trials. The omega-3 fatty acid

docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is enzymatically combined with GPC and

PS to form membrane phospholipids for nerve cell expansion.

Practical recommendations are presented for integrating these

safe and well-tolerated orthomolecular nutrients into a

comprehensive dietary supplementation program for brain vitality

and productive lifespan. "

 

Multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune inflammatory disease: prospects

for its integrative management.

http://tinyurl.com/ljjm6 (Altern Med Rev. 2001 Dec)

 

" Dietary supplementation for MS minimally requires potent vitamin

supplementation, along with the thiol antioxidants, the anti-

inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, and adaptogenic phytonutrients.

Gut malabsorption and dysbiosis can be corrected using digestive

enzymes and probiotics. "

 

Prebiotics and probiotics are an important part of

neurodegenerative illness correction but there's much more to it;

I hope you find my protocol and its links to be fascinating and

empowering.

Thanks! I am digesting a lot of this info! You have a great website! It

maybe too late for my mother but it is probably a good preventative

strategy for me and my sister!!!

 

Thanks again!
