If this falls in the category of “coconut wonders” I don’t know but when it sounds too good to be true…….

Scientists from the National Brain Research Center in Haryana, India have just concluded a breakthrough study that found that a simple desert berry first discovered by a forefather of natural healing more than 3,000 years ago could have the power to begin clearing away the plaques that cause Alzheimer’s in just weeks!

We need support services

Alzheimer; News from the web:

Caregivers are “killing themselves” to help patients. Here is what recent research shows:

What the study found is that there is an overwhelming need for support services such as respite and home care, adult daycare, companion services, and parallel doctor’s visits.

Caregivers to those suffering with Alzheimer’s perform daily living activities, such as hygiene, dressing, feeding, shopping, household chores, meal preparation, and transportation.

They help with medical needs, manage finances, keep a constant watch on behavioral changes or safety concerns. This often leaves little time to pay attention to their own needs and health issues.

The study showed that 60.6 percent of participants delayed treatment and 58.6 percent had worsening medical conditions.

These conditions included depression, stress, blood pressure, anxiety, and physical pain, including arthritis.

Restoring (part of) the brainfunction

Alzheimer; News from the web:

Recent research has shown that it is possible to restore the brain function from old mice back to that of young mice. This was done by increasing the level of protein RbAp48 in old mice. It is an encouraging development although still further research will be necesarry to study the impact in Humans and to figure out if this solution may also restore other parts of the brain.

Not amyloids but C1q

Alzheimer; News from the web:

In a groundbreaking study from Stanford University School of Medicine, researchers detailed the significance of a protein called C1q, which was previously known as the initiator of the immune system response. After analyzing brain tissue in mice of varying ages, as well as postmortem samples of a 2-month-old infant and an elderly person, they discovered that C1q exponentially increases in the aging brain – creating as much as a 300-fold buildup. Comparatively, most age-associated increases of proteins in the brain are only three- or four-fold
