Benfotiamine and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Posted on July 3, 2015 by Dr. Gary Pack

Glucose metabolism is reduced “drastically” in brain tissue of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This abnormality may precede any brain symptoms by decades. Diabetes, with disturbed glucose metabolism, is a risk factor for AD. The brain cell pathology of AD is similar to that of thiamine (vitamin B-1) deficiency. Thiamine, important in glucose metabolism, does […]

Enhancement of Amygdala Neurons with Bacopa Monniera.

In the process of learning, new neurons grow in certain parts of the brain which handle sensory information. Memories are the result of changes of the ability of neurons to transfer information to other neurons of circuits started by previous neural activity. These circuits become “memory traces.” The hippocampus and the amygdala of the brain […]

At this time, treatments of dementia with cholinesterase inhibitors and the drug, memantine, have shown only moderate benefit. Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo) has been studied endlessly to see whether it actually benefits patients with vascular brain disease and/or dementia. The results of studies are highly variable. Sixty-three studies were screened by the authors. This is a […]
