The Trail To A Breakthrough May 2005, Clarksburg,MD -Researchers
funded by the Alzheimer's Disease Research including TWO Nobel
Prize winners--have made breakthrough discoveries that may
signal the end of the Alzheimer's reign of terror! Thanks to the
biggest research breakthroughs since Alzheimer's was discovered
in 1906, we may be at the end of this horrible disease said Dr
Brian K. Regan, Ph.D. Dr. Stanley Prusiner won the Nobel Prize
in Medicine in 1997 for his discovery of a new class of
disease-causing agents called prions. The study of prions may
unlock the final mysteries of the disease process of
Alzheimer's. The 2000 Nobel prize in Medicine went to Dr. Paul
Greene and two other researchers for their groundbreaking
discoveries of the mechanisms by which the brain cells transfer
information from one to the other. The direction is clear
according to Dr.Brian K. Regan,Ph.D, All we need is the funding
to go there. And the sooner we do, the fewer people will suffer
and die. Alzheimer's disease claims a new victim every two
minutes and kills another American every six minutes. Experts
predict that the number of Alzheimer victims could reach 14
million in the next in the next 50 years. Already one in three
families is affected by Alzheimer's disease, but if this trend
is not broken, one out of every two baby boomers may develop
Alzheimer's as they enter their senior years. Fruits and
vegetable juices, clean gums can defend against disease; tests
being discovered that can spot Alzheimer's 9 years prior to
first symptoms appearing. The race to prevent Alzheimer's has
taken on an urgency as the number of Americans with the disease
is expected to soar in the coming decades said the Associated
Press article of June 20,2005. Amy Borenstein of the University
of South Florida College of Public health studied more than 1800
people and found that those who drank fruit or vegetable juice
three times or more a week were four times less likely to
develop Alzheimer's late in life than people who rarely or never
drank juice.
