The practical pharmacological approaches
currently available for treatment of Alzheimers Disease include,
cholinesterase inhibitors, antioxidants, e.g. Vitamin E, anti
inflammatory agents, estrogen, seligiline, vasoactive agents
and ginko biloba.
In the Commentary Combination Therapy
for early Alzheimers Disease "What are we waiting for?"
Doraiswamy and Setffens, Dept of Psychiatry and Behavourial
Sciences, Dukes University Medical Centre recommend a combination
of the aforementioned substances most of which would include
cholinesterase inhibitors. They also make the point that the
widespread use of multi-drug therapies, for Alzheimers Disease,
without the evidence-based support, reflects a desperation of
families and providers. This article was written in 1998, and
appears to be totally unaware of the work of Dr Dharma Singh
Khalsa, who had already provided a treatment protocol for patients
with either brain degeneration or associated memory impairment,
or dementia. His protocol included a combination of herbs, vitamins
and pharmaceuticals, together with meditation, yogic and mental
exercise programme.
APPENDIX
The Hormonal Cascade:
The body ages from the brain downward, from the pineal to the
limbic system, to the pituitary, to the end organs. The cascade
of hormones from the pituitary determines sexuality, emotions,
intelligence and immunity. To offset aging and degeneration
of the hormonal system hormones need to be replaced from the
brain downward.
