New Study to See if Alzheimer's Disease Can Begin to be Reversed in 90 Days

The outcome of this important study could provide new hope for millions of people.



    MOUNT DORA, FL, December 03, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Daniel Thomas will be conducting a ground-breaking study to determine if cognitive decline due to memory-destroying Alzheimer's disease can begin to be reversed in 90 days by combating the root causes using an innovative combination of diet, exercise, vitamin supplements, hormone therapy, and intravenous nutrition. The prevailing belief is that Alzheimer's cannot be reversed. Dr. Thomas and a small but growing number of physicians believe otherwise, and the outcome of this important medical study could provide new hope for millions of people.

Here are ten sobering facts about Alzheimer's disease:

1. After age 40, the single-most feared disease is Alzheimer's.
2. There is a coming explosion of new cases. By the year 2050, it is estimated that as many as 3 billion people worldwide could be at risk for Alzheimer's disease. This is being fueled by aging populations and the enormous increase in diabetes and pre-diabetes.
3. Alzheimer's is currently the #6 leading cause of death next to heart disease, cancer, lung disease, stroke, and accidents.
4. On average, people live only 8 years after diagnosis.
5. Alzheimer's is more common after age 65, but can develop in people as young as age 30.
6. In the latter stages of Alzheimer's, many cannot feed or bathe themselves and become incontinent of urine and feces. This leads to a degrading and demoralizing loss of independence, and places a tremendous burden and heavy toll on family caregivers who will suffer a higher rate of depression, heart disease, and stroke as a result.
7. The current cost to take care of someone with Alzheimer's can exceed $60,000 per year.
8. Degenerative changes in the brain leading to Alzheimer's disease often start decades before the first symptom ever appears.
9. New medical studies have shown that, if you think you may be developing Alzheimer's, you probably are.
10. The FDA has approved only two types of medication for Alzheimer's disease. They offer little help and do nothing to stop or reverse the disease process itself.
