Alzheimer's
disease is currently the fourth leading cause of death in the
U.S. As the baby boom generation ages, the incidence of Alzheimer's
disease is expected to skyrocket. Although the symptoms of Alzheimer's
usually appear after age 65, it can start developing much earlier–in
a person's 40's or 50's. This underscores the need for early use
of GSDL functional assessments to optimize the body's natural
defenses against the brain neural loss associated with the disease.
Alzheimer's
Disease and Adrenal Hormones: Chronic oversecretion of
the adrenal stress hormone cortisol is linked to accelerated brain
atrophy, while another important adrenal hormone, DHEA, seems to
protect the brain from degenerative damage.
Alzheimer's
Disease and Oxidative Stress: Increased production of
free radicals can damage important brain neurons at the crux of
memory function.
Alzheimer's
Disease and Fatty Acids: Detecting and treating fatty acid deficiencies seems to improve
memory function in many patients with Alzheimers's disease.
Alzheimer's
Disease and Menopause: Besides improving bone density
and cardiovascular function, the female sex hormone estrogen may
protect postmenopausal women from memory loss.
Alzheimer's
Disease and Melatonin: One researcher suggests that melatonin imbalances are the main triggers
behind memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's
Disease and Element Imbalances: Overexposure to toxins such as mercury, cadmium, and aluminum is
linked to severely impaired cognitive function and loss of memory.
Alzheimer's
Disease and Amino Acids: Amino acid imbalances can disrupt
the production of crucial neurotransmitters in the brain.
