Dietary supplements for mental decline (Alzheimer's)
Knowledge of Health, Inc., Blog – August 1, 2006: So mom’s in the nursing home, loaded up with ineffective drugs to help overcome signs of senility and memory loss, plus other drugs for blood pressure and circulation. A small study of 35 such patients (average age 71 years) shows that the addition of dietary supplements (multivitamin, vitamin E, lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, omega-3 oils) along with physical exercise and sound dietary measures slowed the decline in brain function and actually improved memory and other brain functions. [American Journal Alzheimer’s Disease 20: 21-26, 2005] Now all you have to do is get the doctor to go along with the idea. –Copyright 2006 Bill Sardi, Knowledge of Health, Inc.
