Vitamins That Cost Pennies a Day Seen Delaying Dementia
By EmmaZahn on Tue, 05/21/2013 - 12:47pm |
A cheap regimen of vitamins in use for decades is seen by scientists as a way to delay the start of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, a goal that prescription drugs have failed to achieve. / Drugmakers including Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Pfizer Inc. (PFE) and Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) have spent billions of dollars on ineffective therapies in a so-far fruitless effort to come up with a treatment for dementia and Alzheimer’s. / Now, in the latest of a steady drumbeat of research that suggests diet, exercise and socializing remain patients’ best hope, a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that vitamins B6 and B12 combined with folic acid slowed atrophy of gray matter in brain areas affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

I always recommend to family and friends researching a serious illness diagnosis to look at studies done in the UK and EU outside of the medical industrial complex generated by the U.S. system (but not exclusive to it.)
Doing that has served me well personally, and I am talking over decades and more than a few incidences. The internet makes it sooo much easier--used to have to track down footnotes in alternative medicine books. Finding a US physician as a willing accomplice is still a major task, but many younger ones are being taught better in this regard, I find.

I agree and so does this guy:
Robert Paterson's Weblog: The FDA and BIg Pharma want us to be ill? - 3 issues this weekend suggest they do
Thought you might like to know about the other two issues and the diy health services he mentions.
