ALTERNATIVE (HERBAL) TREATMENT FOR ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

Alternative treatment focus on herbal mixtures, or dietary supplements, that can be used to slow down the progression of the disease, or to prevent the disease totally. However, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the effectiveness and safety of these herbs and supplements are unknown. Some of the herbs include:

•  Lemon balm, 
• 
  
• Sage, 

• Gingko biloba,

• Cat’s claw vine,
• 
  
• Oregano,
• 
  
• Rosemary,
• 
  
• Parsley,
• 
  
• Ginseng.

Also, it is advisable to incorporate more vitamin E and raw organic virgin coconut oil into our daily diets. All these will either help to prevent the disease or to delay its development.

TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

                                               Treatment Options

  

Those diagnosed with Alzheimer’s live an average of eight years after their symptoms become visible to others. However, most patients can survive for up to twenty years depending on the age and overall health status. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s because the mutations that occur in the brain during the disease are permanent. Once the nerve cells begin to die, and the brain begins to shrink, it can not be reversed. 

However, medications can be provided to help cope with the drastic changes that occur in the brain of the patient. There are medications for memory loss, sleep changes, and behavioural changes. These medications cannot cure Alzheimer’s or stop it from spreading, but it can curb the symptoms and slow it down for some time. The two types of medications used to treat memoryloss and confusion are cholinesterase inhibitors (such as Donepezil, Rivastigmine, and Galantamine) and memantine. Medications used to treat sleep changes include nortriptyline, trazodone, lorazepam, oxazepam, temazepam, zolpidem, zaleplon, chloral hydrate, risperidone, onlanzapine, quetiapine, and haloperidol.
