Alzheimer's Disease


Patients with Alzheimer disease most commonly present with insidiously progressive memory loss, to which other spheres of cognitive impairment are added over several years.

 After memory loss occurs, patients may also have language disorders (eg, anomia) and impairment in their visuospatial skills and executive functions.
The cause of Alzheimer disease is unknown. Several investigators now believe that converging risk factors, which include advancing age, lipoprotein E epsilon 4 genotype, obesity, insulin resistance, vascular factors, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and inflammatory markers trigger a pathophysiologic cascade that, over decades, leads to Alzheimer pathology and dementia.
Alzheimer disease affects both men and women; however, Plassman et al found the risk of developing Alzheimer disease to be significantly higher in women than in men, primarily due to the higher life expectancy in women compared with men.

Alzheimer disease is most prevalent in individuals older than 60 years. Some forms of familial early-onset Alzheimer disease can appear as early as the third decade, but this represents a subgroup of the less than 10% of all familial cases of Alzheimer disease.More than 90% of cases of Alzheimer disease are sporadic and occur in individuals older than 60 years.
Of interest, results of some studies of nonagenarians and centenarians suggest that the risk may decrease in individuals older than 90 years. If so, age is not an unqualified risk factor for the disease, but further study of this matter is needed...

  1. I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
    liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
    reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
    became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
    ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
    treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
    the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
    treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.

  2. My husband had plans for everything; kids, job, health and retirement. We thought we had our life under control until he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. It was heartbreaking for me as his caregiver. He became a shadow of himself, coupled with changing prescriptions which had side effects on his health. Years passed and there was no improvement, so we sought help away from his western medications and found the best natural herbal medicine called Ganzino-Sana which was the solution he needed. We obtained herbal medicine and in a few months, into treatment, his cognitive ability improved so much that he began to remember things and find his way around the house. Ganzino-Sana herbal medicine had no side effects and it was easy to use. It delivered the cure it promised. Alzheimer's disease is not a closed case, contact Dr. Fredrick to know more and obtain the treatment.
