The presence of high levels of mercury was discovered through studies of post-mortem examination of Alzheimer’s victims. Another study makes a clear connection between the presence of mercury in the brain tissue and the presence of amalgam dental fillings, which contain approximately 50% mercury as well as silver, tin, copper and zinc.

According to Hal Huggins, D.D.S., of Colorado Springs, Colorado, metal fillings also create low levels of electrical activity that is conducted directly to the brain, creating aberrant behavior. While the electrical mechanism created by a combination of metals in the mouth does not itself directly suppress the immune system, Dr. Huggins cautions that it does enable metals to come out of the fillings faster, to be absorbed through the cheeks and tongue into the blood supply.

Nutritional supplementation is one effective approach in treating Alzheimer’s. Studies in Japan have shown that daily supplements of CoEnzymeQ10, vitamin B6 and iron returned some Alzheimer’s diagnosed patients to “normal” mental capacity. In another study, Alzheimer’s patients who took a daily regimen of evening primrose oil, zinc and selenium showed significant improvements in alertness, mood and mental ability.

Reduced levels of certain vitamins, minerals, and amino acids have been tentatively linked with Alzheimer’s disease. Folic Acid, niacin (vitamin B3), thiamine (vitamin B1), vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, magnesium, selenium, zinc and tryptophan.

Alternative treatments focus on nutritional supplementation, herbal medications, detoxification (including mercury dental amalgams and aluminum), as well as treating food allergies and candida (yeast) overgrowth.

Gingko Biloba has shown to improve circulation and increased mental capacity in several clinical studies. Particularly, Gingko Biloba has been effective for the treatment of problems associated with cerebral circulation, and other related degradation disease processes associated with blood supply and lack of oxygen at the cellular level.

Many prescribed medications, as well as over the counter (non-prescription drugs), can worsen dementia. Sleep aids, cold remedies, antianxiety drugs and some antidepressants are common offenders.

Even though dementia is chronic and intellectual function can’t be restored, supportive measured can be helpful. For example, large clocks and calendars can help orient people, and caregivers can make frequent comments to help in reminding them of where they are and what is going on. A cheerful bright environment, minimal new stimulation and regular low-stress activities can be beneficial. If daily routines are simplified and the caregiver’s expectations are reduced without the person sensing a total loss of dignity or self-esteem, some improvement may occur.

An active mind may ward off Alzheimer’s Disease. Studies suggest that your best protection against Alzheimer’s may be considerably less “cutting edge.” Keeping your body fit and your mind active as you age, appears to reduce the risk of developing the disease as well as just about everything else.
