Alzheimer's
disease (AD) 's is a devastating , mind - driving affliction is the
seventh leading cause of death in the United States and the fifth
leading cause of death among people over 65. In the coming years , it is almost certain to kill more than 5 million patients currently diagnosed with AD .
The search for Alzheimer's disease is full steam with hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually to develop products for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and / or prevention of Alzheimer's disease .
As we better understand how AD develops and progresses , the focus of research has evolved largely in the prevention of Alzheimer's disease. Indicator trademark of AD is the development of beta plaques - amyloid and tau protein tangles in the brain. As these plaques and tangles develop, the brain cells die . When a sufficient number of them die , the symptoms of AD begin to appear.
AD seems to be a problem just as infantile paralysis (polio) or rabies ( rabies) . These two symptoms , severe damage to the nervous system , brain, etc. so that when the disease can be diagnosed based on their symptoms , and the damage was done. The treatment was not the solution, only prevention work .
Similarly, AD neurological system damage to the victim , causing symptoms , is irreparable. Unable to restore the loss of brain cells , and even if we could , we could not replace memories and neural pathways that cells were lost or content part .
For this reason, although there are some types of treatment of Alzheimer's disease in development that look promising , the focus was primarily on prevention and early detection as the way forward .
While pharmaceutical companies and other industries ethical drug are deeply involved in research on Alzheimer's disease , who are looking for patentable drugs , vaccines or other marketable solutions.
Other researchers are also involved in search of intelligence. Now we know much more than we did a few years ago . Researchers wonder why some people have AD and others manage to interesting conclusions that apply to prevention.
They found that heredity plays a role, but the genetic link is much more than a predisposition that is absolute cause . Environmental factors seem to play a more important role. In studies of identical twins researchers found that one of the twins could get AD , while the other did not. External factors caused AD apparently one of the twins, leaving the other apparently well
People with circulatory problems or heart disease and type 2 diabetes (often caused by excess weight ) , or whose lifestyles provide lower levels of mental and physical activity levels are more likely to AD .
Heart healthy, normal-weight people who remain mentally and physically active are more likely to avoid AD . Maintaining adequate levels of certain B vitamins in the blood of one, make certain nutrients larger than normal and many, many other factors seem to be working to prevent MA quantities.
As the clock strikes the hour, we await the results of the anti-dumping investigation , what can we do? Unfortunately, the current reality is that the medical profession can not do much more to do when Alzheimer's victims as comfortable as possible that they are dying . ( Although there are some products that are tested are promising to slow the progression of AD. )
This leaves the prevention of Alzheimer's disease as the only real alternative available to those of us who want to avoid Alzheimer's disease . Each of us must take steps to reduce the likelihood of RFAs in our favor.
