Alzheimer's May be Multiple Diseases - I.V. Ozone Therapy

[fa icon="calendar'] Dec 9, 2018 10:04:41 PM / by Winter Ninivaggi

A team of researchers suggest new theory that Alzheimer's should be recognized as six different diseases rather than one.

Alzheimer's is currently only categorized in two ways, early-onset or late-onset only defining at which stage of life a person develops symptoms. Some researchers believe it is much more complicated and specific than that. 

The new study suggests the multiple failed clinical trials into Alzheimer's drugs recently may be the cause of homogenizing a variety of cognitive symptoms into one diagnosis. 

"Alzheimer's, like breast cancer, is not one disease," says Shubhabrata Mukherjee, lead author on the new study. "I think a good drug might fail in a clinical trial because not all the subjects have the same kind of Alzheimer's." (Haridy, 2018)

To investigate, researchers evaluated date comprising over 4000 patients diagnosed with late-onset Alzheimer's. 

"From those scores the researchers placed all the subjects into six different groups. The largest subgroup, comprising around 39 percent of subjects, displayed similar scores across all four cognitive domains, and the second largest subgroup, at 27 percent, displayed similar average scores except on memory, which revealed significantly lower numbers. This means that particular subgroup displayed greater memory impairment than other Alzheimer's subjects. Other more smaller subgroups displayed greater impairment in specific cognitive domains, and 6 percent of subjects revealed two domains with substantially lower scores than others." (Haridy, 2018)

By understanding the disease as six different conditions, each with its own unique cognitive and biological fingerprint, there may be a way moving forward for a more personalized treatments and for more effective clinical trials.

Make sure your provider rules out Lyme and co-infections, elevated heavy metals and Herpes viruses which are all associated with Alzheimer's. We run comprehensive genomic panels to evaluate your risks. It's never too late to make better brain changes and to change the course of your diagnosis. We review diet, exercise, advanced testing usually covered by insurance and nutraceuticals that prevent and reverse disease. 

The team hopes the research can act as a bouncing off point for a new way of thinking about Alzheimer's disease. By understanding the disease as six different conditions, each with its own unique cognitive and biological fingerprint, there may be a way forward not only for more personalized treatments tailored to individual patients, but more effective and better targeted clinical trials.

Ozone therapy is a recognized anti-aging treatment that helps to lower blood pressure, improve micro-circulation and gets more oxygen to the brain. Ozone can cross the blood brain barrier to attack pathogens of all kinds which damage the neural glial cells. 

We change your diet, create an exercise strategy and offer weekly treatments to improve cognition. Our patients with strong family history of Alzheimer's and dementia show definite and measurable improvement with short-term memory and cognition. We add in several German biologics to combat brain injuries.

We recognize elevated heavy metals that cross the blood brain barrier as risk factors for Alzheimer disease. We test and treat heavy metal toxicity with I.V. ozone chelation therapy. It's safe, effective, advanced treatment that prevents further damage. All ozone and I.V. nutrient therapies are MD/NP ordered in NYS.
