Supplement
Plan for Alzheimer's
© by Dr. Samuel Verghese
Alzheimer's disease is a relentless, progressive degeneration of the
brain tissue, characterized by the gradual spread of sticky plaques and
clumps of tangled fibers. The disease develops in the interior part of
the brain and makes its way to the hippocampus, the part of the brain
responsible for forming and retrieving various kinds of memories. At
this stage, memory of all kinds, events and objects or abstract thought
processes cease.
As the disease spreads to various regions of the brain, social abilities
deteriorate along with perception of space and time. Severe mood swings,
outbursts of anger, odd gait or a loss of coordination may accompany
loss of bladder and bowel control.
Patients may also experience episodes of fearfulness, deep apathy, or
complete loss of reality and speech. These are invariably the result of
brain tissue destruction. The brain also shrinks in size and weight as
the disease eats away healthy cells. Personality and external
spirituality are also destroyed as the brain dies away.
There is nothing we know today that will completely regenerate the brain
to its original form.
The progressive nature of Alzheimer’s
disease is classified into three stages.
Stage 1 is characterized by progressive forgetfulness, loss of short-term memory, increased anxiety
and may accompany depression.
In Stage 2, past memory may remain intact; immediate memory
becomes elusive. The early sign of disorientation and confusion becomes
a daily experience. Writing difficulties, distorted language and
cognitive functions take the victim further into a shadowy world. The
person is usually aware of this helpless predicament as the most brain
cells die in greater numbers. In most cases mood and personality rapidly
deteriorate.
In Stage 3, most people lose all their cherished memories,
resulting in the inability to recognize loved ones, themselves or most
anything — including spirituality. Delusions, hallucinations, passivity
or violent episodes usually follow. In addition, most become bedridden,
needing full-time hospital or nursing home care services. Some may
continue to live in this state, becoming unconscious before passing
away.
(See "What Alzheimer's Does to the Brain")
When
beginning the supplement program, a few people may experience vivid
dreams, sleepiness or hyper alertness as the brain and body begin to
detoxify and repair. If this occurs, reduce the dosage and duration
until the brain and body adjust to the nutrients. For example, take
one capsule or tablet every other day, once in three days, or even once
a week until the body is able to accept and assimilate these organic
nutrients.
Progress
with supplements will take time based on the brain tissue loss. Those
in early stages of the disease will find improvement within one to three
months. If the disease has progressed to many regions of the brain,
regeneration will take longer.
Early
stage Alzheimer's patients will show rapid progress. Others may take
anywhere from one to 12 months to show progress when 1/4 or move of
the brain is destroyed it's your decision to give or not to give
any supplements. No matter what the stage, some of the substances are
capable of enhancing activity and inhibiting the rapid destruction of
brain cells.
Suggestion
for support: Please pray and act.
The
responsibility of taking care of a person with Alzheimer's can be overwhelming.
Bible-believing churches in many cities can get together, organize and
provide good, safe and friendly day-care centers for our suffering senior
saints. If not available in your area, look to adult day-care centers,
support groups for caregivers, and medical, social or family counseling
groups.
1st
Month:
Brain
Food, Brain lgniter, DMAE, Gender specific Multivitamin,
and Super Enzymes. If taking pills is difficult, use the Complete Nutritional Mix. You can blend it with berries, cherries,
watermelon, yogurt, etc., in whatever beverage you like to make it delicious.
Do not store the unused mix. Take your medicines separately. If you
wish, add Immune Enhancer I and II. Take just two capsules
of each every day.
NOTE: If the person exhibits anxiety, depression, paranoia, agitation, restlessness,
childish attitude/selfishness, give Neuro Balancer, 5-HTP or Neuro Relaxer as indicated on the label. Do not give Neuro
Balancer when you give Brain lgniter and DMAE.
For
example:
Give Brain
Food, Brain lgniter and DMAE with breakfast.
Give Neuro
Balancer with lunch.
Give Neuro
Relaxer and 5-HTP with dinner.
For dizziness or
impaired equilibrium add Dizziness Powder (this powder
dissolves in the mouth)
Establish a consistent and
familiar routine.
Four to
six small meals are recommended.
Taking an afternoon nap is
helpful for brain regeneration. You need at least eight hours of sleep
in the night. If you cannot sleep well, take sleep supplements or eat
proper foods. If chewing foods is difficult, blend them in a blender.
2nd Month:
Add Neuro Balancer, Neuro Complex, Pure Advanced Gamma Vitamin E Complex, L-Carnitine Liquid and Super Enzymes. You may take one to three capsules for
each meal for a month.
3rd
Month:
Taking
the above regimen two to three times a week is sufficient. Reduce all
supplements to 1/2 the recommended doses on the bottle and add Heart
Prolongevity, one or two a day with meals.
4th
Month:
Continue
with the supplement regimen as in the 3rd month.
5th
Month:
Take
all the above supplements two days a week, 1/2 of the recommended dosage
on the bottle. You can stop taking Neuro Complex. Add Immune Enhancer I and IIto the above-recommended supplements if
not already taking them. Take just two capsules of each every day.
6th
Month:
Two
or three times a week of supplementation based on the severity and the
progress of the patient.
