LDN for dementia and alzheimer's?

[Guest guest]

Has there been any research on LDN as a possible preventive or treatment for Alzheimers or other forms of dementia, or does anyone have a list of emails from the group which have addressed this subject? recently wrote that LDN is controlling her grandma's Alzheimers, but I would be interested in any additional evidence, anecdotal or otherwise.

My husband, 80, has experienced memory problems in the last 8 months. He is also a diabetic and is having trouble controlling his high blood sugar despite starting insulin injections 3 months ago, and I have a hunch that high blood sugar could possibly be contributing to his memory problems. However I would also like to ask our Internist if he would prescribe LDN for him, and any evidence I could point to would of course be helpful. Many Thanks, Shirley See AOL's top rated recipes and easy ways to stay in shape for winter.

A Dr. Hong has been researching the effects of LDN on Alzheimer's.

My grandma is on LDN 4.5mg for Alzheimer's, on LDN over 2 years now

and she has not progressed mentally over that time, in fact LDN

improves her mental state. We also have my grandma on some

supplements like B Complex vitamins, Solaray brand of Turmeric,

Acidophilus, we make sure she drinks plenty of water and eats enough.

I noticed during my stay with her over the weekend that she's become

more independent in some of her chores, she'll tell you...I can do

that myself and shooos you away. LDN will not cure Alzheimer's but it

can halt the disease progression.

Hi ,

Does your Grandma experience any " agitation " with her Alzheimers?

The 80 yr(?) mother of a friend of ours has Alzheimers and is in a

facility. Our friend was describing this sort of shock treatment that

helps his mother with this 'agitation' or negative feelings she gets.

This treatment seems settles her down and she becomes more calm. ???

There are probably other symptoms that she has since she's been put

into a facility, but this was the specific one that our friend was

describing.

I was wondering if LDN would be helpful in her care / treatment.

As we know most people with Alzheimer's become aggressive as the

disease progresses, on LDN my grandma is much more calm and doesn't

threaten to knock you out if you make her take a bath, etc, she's more

compliant and now takes pride in the things she can accomplish on her

own and doesn't mind help when she needs it. We saw the

aggressiveness improve during the 1st 6 months on LDN. B complex

vitamins are generally lacking in an Alzheimer's patient so adding B

Compex Vitamins and extra Vitamin B 12 is important also along with

LDN. A clinical trial of Turmeric showed it helps remove the plague

that causes Alzheimer's so we started my grandma on that about 2 1/2

months ago, I want to give the Turmeric a good 2 year trial. My

grandma will be 89 next month.

My research has shown that there is a drug being used

in Europe to repair brain damage caused by alcoholism

and I believe that there is ongoing research to see

whether it helps with Alzheimer's. In Europe it is a

prescription drug, but in this country it is a

supplement available without prescription. The

original drug was called nootropil. The current

derivative is called Pramistar in Europe. One can do

a Google search and find out more about it.
