Very glad to have found a way to contact you, Greg. Many months ago, the trail ended in Brewster, and my impassioned plea to a Cap Cod newspaper editor, asking for help to locate you, was rudely ignored.
I have some very welcome news for you–a very surprising, but potentially quite effective cure for AD: the simple grain’n’bean anti-ageing molecule myo-inositol.
First tested in Israel in 1997, in a small pilot trial, 6 gm/day resulted in rapid improvements in language and orientation, within the mere 4 weeks of the trial. The authors concluded that a longer trial, using a higher dose, was warranted–then got distracted by their related studies with inositol, in anxiety-related disorders [where it also worked very well indeed].
I have done a lot of research on the anti-ageing mechanisms of inositol, which include the dramatic ability to turn on the nerve cell’s entire suite of ancient protein damage-control genes, that are easily capable of chewing up or sequestrating toxic aggregated disease proteins. I am in touch with Dr Coleen Murphy, at Princeton, regarding the exact identity of these genes.
I now have a 10-year Parkinson’s cure, with 5 gm/day, and a more recent 5-year AD cure, using 10 gm/day. The powder costs 60 cents per 5-gm teaspoon, on http://www.iherb.com.
I will fill out the 3 remaining fields in this message, and I welcome any questions.
Take a look at my 2011 YouTube clip PEERS ALZHEIMER–only 10 minutes.
And check out PEERS ANTI-AGING and PEERS ANXIETY. Inositol happens to reverse BOTH anxiety and AD–the first, by blocking serotonin 2A receptors, the second by suppressing pro-ageing Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 signalling inside cells. This dual action is “just what the doctor ordered” in AD and Parkinson’s, both of which are greatly accelerated by incidental anxiety.
After using inositol in anxious patients from 1999, in 2005 I began to suspect it was anti-ageing, because its independent [and surprising] anti-cancer action was found to be mediated by its inhibition of Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 signalling–such inhibition was already known to prolong healthy lifespan in test worms, fruit flies and mice.
What really made me curious was my own father’s exceptional longevity and energy: he had eaten oat porridge every day since age 5, and was very healthy at 94, and still working. He died at 99, in 2010. Healthy 95-100 year olds around the world are mostly lifelong legume or grain eaters: inositol is found in those foods, as well as in nuts and sweet citrus.
The anti-ageing dose, from diet, is about 1.5 gm/day–enough to make the Mediterranean diet delay AD onset, but not cure it or arrest it–which requires 5.0-10.0 gm/day.
Proof of principle was established by Andy Dillin, at the Salk Institute in 2009: he engineered transgenic AD mice to have only half the usual number of IGF-1 cell membrane receptors, and saw better cognition, less neuro-inflammation, and small, dense, inert [non-toxic] extracellular plaques in the mousey brain. How mean–he should have let them live!!
