Lewy body disease is a
kind of dementia
http://www.lewybodyjournal.org/whatlbdis.html#symptoms
"In 1912, while
Frederick Lewy
was examining the
brains of people with Parkinson's disease, he discovered
irregularities in the cells in the mid-brain region. These abnormal
structures (microscopic protein deposits found in deteriorating
nerve cells) became known as Lewy bodies. Since that time, the presence
of Lewy bodies in the mid-brain has been recognized as a hallmark
of Parkinson's disease. In the 1960s, researchers found Lewy bodies
in the cortex (the outer layer of gray matter) of the brains of some
people who had dementia. Lewy bodies in the cortex are known as
cortical Lewy bodies or diffuse Lewy bodies. (That's why Lewy body
disease is sometimes called cortical Lewy body disease or diffuse Lewy
body disease.) Cortical Lewy bodies were thought to be rare, until the
1980s when improved methodologies showed that Lewy body disease was more
common than previously realized.
People with Lewy body disease have Lewy bodies in the mid-brain region (like those with Parkinson's disease) & in the cortex of the brain. It's believed that they usually also have the "plaques & tangles" of the brain that characterize Alzheimer's disease. Conversely, it's believed that many people with Alzheimer's disease also have cortical Lewy bodies. Because of the overlap, it's likely that many people with Lewy body disease are misdiagnosed (at least initially) as having either Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease." |

A genetic marker e4 allele may indicate a risk for dementia in 15% of the
American population. A 2nd test can be taken for levels of vitamin B-12. B12 supplementation is a simple safe way to fight dementia. 10/2004 Well Being Journal www.wrightnewsletter.com + www.wellbeingjournal.com |

Ribose &

method to Enhance Delivery of Glutathione & ATP Levels in
Cells by using ribose and cysteine. -

Cysteine itself is neurotoxic when administered to mammals, & is rapidly degraded. Dr Nagsawa spent years of research testing various compounds to find 1 which safely & effectively delivered the fragile cysteine molecule inside the cell, with the bonus effect of providing ribose for ATP production. Liver cell tests show RibCeine™ is 300% more effective in raising glutathione levels than N-Acytl-Cysteine, which is used in MaxGXL Demand Release. We’ve all heard of time release vitamins (with toxic binders)... MaxONE takes it to the next level with on-demand release. The RiboCeine is absorbed into the cells where it waits. When the body needs to make more glutathione & separates it into the cysteine & ribose which are then used for glutathione & ATP production."

hallucinations. An antipsychotic medication,
such as Zyprexa, might be prescribed. This kind of medication can worsen

- Tough read, but vital to the health of you & your family. "The cognition of patients with Alzheimer's disease grew worse when they took either Detrol or Ditropan. Both bladder drugs have what doctors call anti-cholinergic effects, which means they block the action of acetylcholine a neurotransmitter. Nerve cells release neurotransmitters to send signals to neighboring cells. The anti-cholinergic medicines block some of these signals...The brains of the patients who had taken anti-cholinergic drugs for 2 years or longer had more that twice the level of abnormal clumps of amyloid plaque & tangled bundles of fibers as those who had not taken the drugs or had taken them for a such time... Medication-induced dementia often reverses, if it is found & the patient stops taking the offending drug." |

Pseudo-dementia means dementia is curable since the cause is not
senility. Anemia, mild strokes, depression, institutionalization,
nutrition lacking B vitamins or zinc, & drugs may cause confusion. Known
drugs causing confusion are psycho-actives (sedatives, tranquilizers,
lithium), anit-hypertensives (methyldopa, clonidine, beta-blockers),
anticonvulsants (phenytoin, barbiturates), anti-cholinergics (atropine,
antispasmodics), plus narcotics, steroids, digitalis, diuretics, anti-inflammatories,
disulfiram). Rodale Press - The Prevention Total Health System - Aging Slowly |
