[Review] Herbal meds fight brain illness

[Michaelangelica]

Evidence is building to support the use of alternative medicines in preserving our mental capabilities and warding off Alzheimer’s disease, according to research from Swinburne University of Technology.

 

Research suggests that Brahmi acts on all of these. “It has an anti-inflammatory effect, is an antioxidant and collates and removes heavy metals and beta amyloid,” he said.

 

Brahmi

Two trials with a Brahmi extract called CDRI08 have been conducted. Using double-blind randomised control techniques, each trial examined the effects of the extract’s administration over 90 days. The results have shown improvements in working memory, particularly spatial memory accuracy.

 

Pine Bark Extract

A 50-day trial of a particular pine bark extract supplement for men aged 50 to 65 years has also shown improved speed in spatial working memory and immediate recognition tasks, along with a trend towards lower systolic blood pressure.

 

Lemon Balm

Another trial is investigating the short-term calmative effects of a special lemon balm product, because anxiety and agitation are major symptoms that Alzheimer sufferers experience.

Hmmmmmmnn......that's Alzheimers huh.....what is it when you ain't even out of you're thirties?

It is called Alzheimer's or early onset Alzheimer's

Alzheimer's is not just a disease of old people. (see Hypography thread Alzheimer's Why? for more details).

 

Interestingly, of late, i have had a peripheral blood circulation problem with my feet. I have found this is made worse by smoking tobacco and better by drinking a tea of brahami. It is an easy herb to grow,

 

And B-where do I get massive quantities of the curative?

Grow them .

Not sure about the pine. Chew a pine tree?
