Natural treatments can delay Alzheimer's disease.

If you're diagnosed with Alzheimer's- the brain disease that slowly but surely devastates mental, emotional & finally even physical functioning - most conventional neurologist will offer you two treatments.

One is the prescription drugs donepezil (Aricept), which increases levels of acetylcholine, a brain chemical responsible for memory. The other is vitamin E, an antioxidant that slows the destruction of brain cells.

Although conventional neurologists used to think that vitamin E was nonsense, studies have demonstrated the nutrients efficacy in slowing the progression of the disease.

Both of the above treatments are helpful, but there's much more that you can do for Alzheimer's. Natural treatments potentially can slow the progression of the disease & perhaps even prevent it's later stages, in which the memory is totally eroded.

"Like the heart, the brain is an organ made of flesh & blood," says Dharma Singh Kalsa, M.D., president & medical director of the Alzheimer's prevention foundation in Tucson. And just as there are many, many ways to slow the progression of heart disease, such as dietary changes, nutritional supplements, stress reduction & exercise, for example, so there are many ways to slow the progression of the brain disease - Alzheimer's - not just the two treatments recommended by neurologists.

If you've been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, you need to admit that you have a serious problem & to accept the fact that you need to devote your life to caring for yourself, Dr Khalsa says. "You can't take a few pills everyday, whether they're prescription drugs or natural supplements & go along with life," he says. "You must focus on the reality that your brain has a degenerative illness - possibly a progressive illness, similar to cancer- & that you must devote significant time to slowing it's progress."

Herbplex has a number of remedies that will slow down the progress of Alzheimer's- please get in touch with us - should you require any further details.

Caution: You should use the alternative remedies only as part of a treatment plan that's guided & monitored by a qualified medical doctor in partnership with a qualified alternative practitioner, both of whom are experienced in caring for your condition.

"Alzheimer's doesn't erase the person you were; it just makes it harder to remember."

Massage Therapy...

What is it?
Massage therapy is a technique in which muscles & other soft tissues are pressed, rubbed & otherwise manipulated. There are several forms of Massage. Swedish Massage, for example is a gentle form of muscular manipulation that's used primarily for relaxation & stress relief. Clinical massage therapy (which includes dozens of approaches) treats specific health problems.

How does it work?
Pain causes the nervous system stimulating muscles to contract. The contractions cause more pain, which results in more contractions. Unless the pain-contraaction cycle is interrupted, it's hard to find relief.

Massage is a way of breaking this cycle. It "persuades" muscles to relax & lengthen. It brings pain-relieving oxygen & blood to the muscles & may remove irritating waste materials.

In addition, just being touched has a deeply relaxing & therapeutic effect on the body, although the mechanisms of this effect are not fully understood.

What can it do for you?
Massage therapy is effective for any type of pain in the body's soft tissues. This includes back, neck & shoulder pain; headaches, which are often caused by tense muscles in the face & scalp or tightness & trigger points in the neckmuscles; bursitis & tendinitis; repetitive strain injury; & sport injuries such as shinsplints.

It's best if your therapist has experience in treating the kinds of health problems you're dealing with. Be cautious about therapists who guarantee results; it's unrealistic, & it may be a sign they aren't entirely trustworthy.

When looking at advertising for massage therapists, look for phrases such as deep tissue massage, neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy & myotherapy. These are all types of clinical therapeutic massage that have been proven to be effective in relieving pain.

Is it safe?
Since massage therapy involves manipulating parts of the body, there's always the possibility that it will make things worse. If you have any type of pain, it's important tonser a medical doctor before turning to massage.

Also, massage should never be done on areas where there is extensive bruising or other kinds of tissue damage. If you're pregnant, have circulatory problems, or any unusual condition, get clearance from your physician before starting massage therapy. Always let your massage therapist know about your condition; most are trained to work conservatively in such situations.

Hydrotherapy...
The prefix Hydrotherapy means "water," & hydrotherapy is a technique in which water is applied to the body in order to stimulate & redirect the flow of blood & lymph. (Lymph is the filtered portion of blood that carries waste product's away from the cells. There are 3x more lymphatic the body than blood.) By encouraging the flow of fresh blood & lymph to an area, hydrotherapy helps nourish cells & promote the regeneration of tissues, which allows the body to heal from illnesses or physical damage.

How does it work?
Water is the most efficient vehicle for transporting heat & cold. The application of warm or hot water causes arteries & veins to expand, bringing additional blood & lymph to an area. Cold, on the other hand, makes the arteries & veins constrict, which pushes blood & lymph away. This in-&-out movement of blood & lymph brings in fresh oxygen & nutrients removing toxins & waste products.

There are many techniques for using hydrotherapy. It may involve the use of showers, baths, water-soaked towels, specialized hydro equipment, jacuzzi or pools. Some people use hydrotherapy asa preventative. Taking a daily shower in which you alternate hot & cold along the spine, for example, will help stimulate the nervous system. This in turn triggers improved circulation to the abdomen, lungs & heart.

What can it do for you?
Almost all diseases can be helped by hydrotherapy because many diseases involve inflammation, infection or both. The application of hot & cold water improves circulation which is essential for relieving infection & inflammation.

Naturopathic physicians, who are trained in hydrotherapy, think that most health care professionals greatly underestimate the importance of improving circulation as a way of healing disease.

Is it safe?
Since hydrotherapy involves nothing more than the applications of water, it's safe for most people. Those who have reduced sensation in their limbs (a common symptom of diabetes), however, should always seek a professional therapist.
