Scientists hunt earliest Alzheimer's - Dementia symptoms Race is on against feared epidemic.

By: Amelia Walton

Seniors with Alzheimer's have their choice of care centers in the suburbs. This month a new one is opening in Wheaton, and at least five others are planned for the region, including centers in Hoffman Estates, Glen Ellyn and Geneva.Traditionally, nursing homes have been the only option for people with Alzheimer's, a disease that erases memory and slowly destroys the brain. But these new centers are at assisted-living sites, which combine housing and health care....

Alzheimer's is a devastating disorder of the brain's nerve cells that impairs memory, thinking, behavior and ultimately leads to death.The impact of Alzheimer's on individuals, families and our health care system makes the disease one of our nation's greatest medical, social and fiscal challenges. An estimated 6.5 Million Americans have Alzheimer's and the figure is estimated to touch 15 Million by 2020 as baby boomers age. Increasing age is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's. One in 10 individuals over 60 and nearly half of those over 80 are affected. Inherited forms of Alzheimer's disease can strike individuals as early as their 30s and 40s.

The silver lining is that finding a treatment that could delay onset could reduce the number of individuals with Alzheimer's disease by nearly 50 percent. In this context certain herbal combination Shilajit and Withania Somnifera show surprising results on Alzheimer's patients. They have been found to boost memory and enhance cognition in Alzheimer's patients. Shilajit is a mineral pitch found in Himalayan mountains and Withania Somnifera also known as Indian ginseng is a herb found in India. Withania somnifera has proven memory boosting effects and is also known to boost stamina.

Scientists Schliebs R.; Liebmann A.; Bhattacharya S.K.; Kumar A.; Ghosal S.; Bigl V. and R. Schliebs at Paul Flechsig Institute Brain Res., Department of Neurochemistry, University of Leipzig Germany have conclusively shown the cognition enhancing power of Shilajit and Withania Somnifera. They have shown that Shilajit and the defined extract from Withania somnifera (Indian Ginseng) affect preferentially events in the cortical and basal forebrain cholinergic signal transduction cascade. This partly explains the cognition-enhancing and memory-improving effects of extracts from Withania somnifera & Shilajit observed in animals and humans.

Shilajit and Withania somnifera could emerge as the wonder herbs in the treatment and management of Alzheimer's disease.
