Stopping Alzheimer's in it's Tracks - Ozone Therapy

New early warning sign for Alzheimer's.

Researching the earliest stages of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's is one of the most important research scientists face today. A new review from a team at the University of Southern California suggested leaks in the blood brain barrier could be a useful early warning sign signaling the onset of diseases like Parkinson's or MS before any symptoms appear. Like "leaky gut" we have "leaky brain".

Nearly every new drug target that has been developed to fight Alzheimer's and dementia has failed during its human clinical trial stages leading many scientists to argue the classic hypothesis that is the basis of most of the current research. Many now believe the key to treating these diseases is catching and treating before symptoms appear. But the challenge with that is there is still no effective way of catching Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases before the symptoms appear. 

The work from the scientists at USC suggest signs of the breakdown in the the blood brain barrier which is an almost impenetrable membrane that stops harmful particles from entering the brain. The hypothesis suggests that when the blood-brain barrier becomes dysfunctional it is potentially allows proteins like beta-amyloid to move from other parts of the body where it is generally harmless, into the brain, ultimately accumulating plaques considered to be fundamental to the pathology of cognitive decline.
