Forgetfulness is typically not the first sign of Alzheimer’s disease.

That’s the surprising finding of a new study by Canadian researchers. They found the earliest signal of the brain-robbing illness is one that is often overlooked.

It’s personality change. To be precise, the researchers describe it as sudden behavior changes that have lasted for months.1

Alzheimer’s researchers have long believed mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the first sign a person might be developing Alzheimer’s.… Read More

“Where are my darn car keys…what’s the name of my neighbor’s barking dog…I can’t remember where we’re going to dinner tonight.”

Researchers have made what promises to be a huge Alzheimer’s breakthrough.

For decades, doctors have struggled to accurately diagnose the brain disease. In fact, there was no way to get a definitive diagnosis until after a patient died and their brain could be examined in an autopsy.

The problem is that Alzheimer’s symptoms often mimic those of other conditions. They include depression, drug side effects, and urinary tract infections.… Read More

Common heartburn drugs can destroy your heart, brain, and kidneys, according to new research in the journal Circulation.

The study reveals the grave dangers of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). These include Prilosec, Nexium, and Prevacid.

Scientists found they speed aging of human endothelial cells. These cells line your blood vessels. When healthy, they form a Teflon-like coating. This keeps blood and waste products from sticking to vascular cells.… Read More

When it comes to Alzheimer’s, Big Pharma is a big fail.

Their drug treatments don’t work very well. They are expensive. And even worse, the side effects can be more harmful than the disease.1

But now there’s hope that Alzheimer’s can be treated naturally. A new study found that a nutritional drink boosts memory in early Alzheimer’s patients.2

European researchers found that Alzheimer’s patients who drank a multi-nutrient supplement once a day showed brain benefits in two areas.… Read More
