Was wondering if there is any data available or in the works that documents that taking all these AZ meds shows changes in brain makeup when an autopsy is performed. You know comparing the autopsy of AZ brain with no meds versus AZ brain with meds. Just wondering?????????????
What the doctors say mostly is that Aricept, Exelon, and Namenda mask the symptoms for a while, they don't slow the underlying brain damage. The companies making the drugs hope to show they are disease altering--actually change the course rather than just masking symptoms--but the evidence is not impressive. If masking the symptoms means the disease progresses slower in the early stages and faster later on, I will take it. (edited because I initially said the opposite of what I meant)
This is an email I received recently from a friend. In 1906, Alois Alzheimer discovered the plaques and tangles and led to his discovery of Alzheimer’s disease. Interestingly, Marconi invented the radio in 1895, and shortly thereafter, some people began complaining of hearing things, and losing their minds. As science advanced, television was discovered in 1926, but the first broadcasting of TV pictures didn’t begin until 1935, in Germany, with American TV broadcasting following six years later, in 1941. Coincidence shows that the Germans showed some serious behavior changes and led to the start of WWII. Also a coincidence shows that the U.S. entered the war just after the 1941 broadcast, and more and more people reported “seeing things”, such as UFO’s, strange beings, and imaginary people such as “Mickey Mouse, Fred Flintstone, and Homer Simpson. As time progressed, more and more radio and tv stations began broadcasting, and also more and more people were being diagnosed with Alzheimers. Also, more discoveries of the uses of tv and radio signals led to T.V. remotes, garage door remotes, microwave ovens, wireless routers, wireless printers, Bluetooth, and cell phones, and finally WI-FI. During this time frame, Alzheimer’s disease reached epidemic proportions, and the trend is still continuing. Every time someone uses a remote control, there is an Alzheimer’s patient who becomes incontinent, gets agitated, wanders, or gets confused. There is a lot of supporting evidence of this effect, and it makes as much sense as to what the “experts” are saying. The cure for alzheimer’s is simple. A simple lead helmet, 3 inches thick, that blocks all electromagnetic waves is placed on the patient’s head, and the symptoms magically disappear. The only drawback is that the helmet weighs 800 lbs, and must be securely attached on the shoulders to prevent other injuries. Also, because lead is a heavy metal and toxic, it must be enclosed with 12 inches of concrete to contain the lead poisoning. I have heard of people putting aluminum foil on their bodies, but science proves that this is not an effective barrier. More studies are required of course more donations are required to fund this task.
Phranque, that is a very interesting theory...thanks for the smile today. Guess we can only hope that with the ongoing research, better treatments will be found.
