Although diagnosed first time more than 100 years ago (1906) by German doctor Josef Alzheimer, this most prevalent form of dementia named after him, is still lacking scientifically validated solutions. Instead quite some gurus are roaming the health market with certain supplements as a kind of pseudomedical quackery. Based on individual testimonials but no approval by the Federal Drug Association (FDA), and without scientific validation. THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND Although Alzheimer’s disease has been diagnosed first time already more than a century ago (1906) by German doctor Josef Alzheimer, so far conventional medicine has not found a solution yet. To the contrary, in the U.S. alone, almost 6 million citizens are suffering from this disease as the most common form of dementia as prevalent especially in the aging population. On a global basis, 47 million live with dementia. With a relief of symptoms only in rare cases at best, but no cure. Still, there are lots of gurus offering ways to seemingly improve treatment, prevent this disease or even cure it – though non-evidence-based. Above all, there are no SCIENTIFIC VALIDATIONS justifying this hope, based on supplementation claiming to promote brain health and ability to think, and to prevent cognitive decline such as dementia. However, with no evidence. As a kind of ‘pseudomedicine’, as there is no powerful supplement to stop cognitive decline. Rather, it is based on individual testimonials, but not tested for safety by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) like medicines. Just take vitamin E offered on the market OTC and with no prove of success, which still can cause stroke and premature death, without any reliability. According to findings at the University of California in San Francisco. IN A NUTSHELLAlthough diagnosed first time more than 100 years ago (1906) by German doctor Josef Alzheimer’s, this most prevalent form of dementia named after him, is still lacking scientifically validated solutions. Instead quite some gurus are roaming the health market with certain supplements as a kind of pseudomedical quackery.
