Natural Treatments of Alzheimer’s Are Better Than You Think

 

“From the medical perspective, if we ever really want to cure the disease process, we must remove the profit element from the prescribed remedies. As long as higher profits can be generated through increased suffering, there will never be an urgency in finding a cure for the disease process.”

 

In 2013, health ministers from G8 countries pledged to find a treatment or cure for dementia by 2025, which ended up being an empty promise. Now in 2025 we are still a far from any cure (at least when it comes to synthetic drugs), in contrary, dementia is expanding more and more each year. Alzheimer’s disease was previously noted as the sixth-leading cause of death. More recently, though, it was discovered that as far as contributing to death, Alzheimer’s disease may be among the ranks of heart disease and cancer. In fact, actual death rates related to Alzheimer’s may be almost six times greater than originally recorded. According to Alzheimer’s Disease International statistics, “[s]omeone in the world develops dementia every 3 seconds. There are over 55 million people worldwide living with dementia in 2020. This number will almost double every 20 years, reaching 78 million in 2030 and 139 million in 2050.”[1] That is the type of cure we can do without.

The reason behind these numbers is not so much in what we have but what we do not have that is causing Alzheimer’s disease. The fact is that trace minerals are no longer found in our food and they must be supplemented. Replacing what is missing is not the medical way, instead they label the disease and treat the results of insufficient nutrients and drug the patient while leaving the core of the illness untreated. Curing, unfortunately, is not part of the business model. If patients no longer require your services, the loss of customers will reduce shareholders’ profits and that will never become the corporate direction.

The problems we face is lifestyle choices, pollution from living in large cities and food quality grown on land that is void of nutrients. We also inject ourselves with mercury, aluminum, spike proteins—this starts from the moment of birth to remain “healthy” because we have been lied to that our bodies are insufficient to succeed on their own. Interestingly, somehow that has become true because we have allowed the so called science to create the world we live in. From the medical perspective, if we ever really want to cure the disease process, we must remove the profit element from the prescribed remedies. As long as higher profits can be generated through increased suffering, there will never be an urgency in finding a cure for the disease process.

Why Alzheimer’s medication does not work:

Modern medicine tends to favor biochemical models of disease because they support the development of profitable, drug-based treatments, even though such approaches often only manage symptoms and leave many conditions labeled incurable while potentially effective natural therapies receive little attention. Alzheimer’s disease is a good example: despite rapidly rising research funding and the high financial and social costs of the illness, meaningful progress has remained limited.

Why is that the case? Because we have been looking in the wrong direction for way too long. In 1906, researchers observed sticky protein deposits in the brain—called amyloid plaques—and assumed these plaques were the cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Over time, this led to the amyloid hypothesis, the idea that clearing amyloid would cure Alzheimer’s. The main component of these plaques is amyloid-beta (Aβ), a protein fragment normally produced in the brain. “Hundreds of clinical trials of amyloid-targeted therapies have yielded few glimmers of promise (…). Yet Aβ still dominates research and drug development. NIH spent about $1.6 billion on projects that mention amyloids in this fiscal year, about half its overall Alzheimer’s funding.”[2]

When the amyloid hypothesis struggled to explain why plaque-removal therapies failed, its supporters shifted focus from large plaques to much smaller, supposedly toxic clusters of Aβ called oligomers. In 2006, a highly influential paper published in Nature claimed to have found a specific toxic oligomer—Aβ*56—and reported that it caused memory problems in rats. This result reignited confidence in the amyloid theory and drove further billions of dollars in funding toward amyloid-based research and drugs. However, Aβ*56 and similar oligomers have never been reliably shown to cause Alzheimer’s: many scientists could not detect Aβ*56 at all or could not reproduce the study’s findings, and the protein fragments involved are unstable and difficult to isolate. As repeated clinical trials targeting amyloid have failed, skepticism has grown, and many researchers argue that other processes—such as chronic inflammation or immune dysfunction—may play a far more central role in the disease than amyloid ever did.

Besides skepticism, the amyloid drug has been proven to be not only failing but even harmful. “These drugs consistently damage brain tissue, indicating that their mechanism of action was inherently dangerous (e.g., it creates brain swelling by causing immune cells attacking amyloid also to attack brain tissue, or it creates brain bleeding by removing amyloid plaque that patches vessel walls and stabilizes brain tissue). Remarkably, despite this issue being recognized, it has not deterred the usage of these class drugs.”[3]

Natural Alzheimer’s treatments that do work:

On the other hand, natural treatments—including coconut oil or DMSO—seem to work and without the side effects. In a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, crossover study[4] participants consumed about 1.8 tablespoons of MCT (medium chain triglycerides) oil per day. After the treatment period, 80% of them stayed the same or got better in their cognitive performance. Those who took MCT oil for a longer time, and those older than 73, tended to show higher final scores.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is also a naturally occurring compound with protective and restorative effects on the brain, preventing tissue death, reversing damage from reduced blood flow, and improving cognitive function. In numerous animal studies, DMSO reportedly protected rats from Alzheimer’s-like degeneration—sometimes restoring learning and memory to near-normal levels. Similar findings are described in human studies, where patients with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia linked to cerebrovascular disease, Parkinson’s, or concussions were reported to experience improvements in memory, concentration, communication, motor function, and cardiovascular measures after treatment with DMSO, either alone or with amino acids.

Another link was found between lithium levels and Alzheimer’s: studies showed that those with low levels of lithium had mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer’s. According to a study from The British Journal of Psychiatry “lithium has disease-modifying properties with potential clinical implications in the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.”[5] Also, a study from 2019 published in Neuropsychopharmacology[6] suggests that lithium may be useful for its anti-aging affects within the brain depending on genetics, indicating a potential use of polygenic risk scoring for the prediction of adult telomere length.

Why cell regeneration is important:

They will have you believe that brain cells cannot regenerate but they are wrong. Brain cells do regenerate, it is part of our design, as we are regenerative beings. If we could only come to understand the power of the human body, we would not be held prisoners of the system. Our mind, our psyche or our body has the ability to regenerate and to transform even from a diseased state. The amazing human body was designed to heal and to regenerate when supplied with the needed nutrients.

Our cells are dying and being recreated. “About 330 billion cells are replaced daily, equivalent to about 1 percent of all our cells. In 80 to 100 days, 30 trillion will have replenished—the equivalent of a new you.”[7] This process is known as cell regeneration, and is essential for maintaining healthy tissues and organs.

The problem is that we have simply forgotten our ways as being a part of the ecosystem of earth, so our energy is depleted and we are no longer grounded. We have been told that we must protect ourselves from the healing power of the sun, and we believed it, blocking off our natural access to transforming vitamin D. We have the ability to regenerate our neurological cells but to do so we must change the toxic environment, our lifestyle, emotional stress and the anger we dwell on. We must set aside time to react to our senses by walking through the forest. We have become used to the toxicity of the environment, living with high levels of stress and poor lifestyle choices. We are accustomed to be comfortable in an environment that leads us to the degeneration of our body and mind, that creates and opening for chronic disease, fatigue, brain fog and other conditions that negatively affect the body’s immune system and separate us from our regenerative powers.

Holistic naturopathic medicine is our only means of treatment when dealing with the entire person and identifying the pathway to alleviate the obstacles of the disease process so that the body can heal itself, just as the Good Lord designed it to do.

Life Choice products for improved brain health and healing:

  • Lithium Homeopathic
  • Neurotransmitter Support
  • L-Tryptophan[8] (there is a strong connection between gut—brain connection of serotonin and L-tryptophan but it must be combined with P5P because this way tryptophan crosses the blood—brain barrier; the dosage needs to be 1,000 mg per day before sleep).
