Carnosine, 1000 mg per day (minimum) should be considered Se-methylselenocysteine Animal studies also indicate that this form of selenium is as much as 10 times less toxic, than any other known form of selenium. It has been shown to: · Produce a 33% better reduction of cancerous lesions than selenite. · Induce apoptosis in cancer cells. · Inhibit cancer cell proliferation. · Reduce intratumoral microvessel density and angiogenesis. · Down-regulate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, which is essential for angiogenesis). Rosemary essential oil in a nebulizer helps the mental function of people with memory impairment, plus it is beneficial to the heart and it protects from viral and bacterial infection. The following is from http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl- 006c. shtml, which has other useful tips for Alzheimer's: MUSIC THERAPY ( Alzheimer's study) A novel study assessed the effects of music therapy on the concentations of melatonin, norephinephrine, epinephrine, serotonin, and prolactin in the blood of 20 male patients with Alzheimer's disease at the Miami Veterans Administration Medical Center, Miami, Florida. Patients listened to 30 to 40 minute morning sessions of music therapy 5 times per week for 4 weeks. Melatonin concentration in serum increased significantly after music therapy and was found to increase further at 6 weeks follow-up. Norepinephrine and epinephrine levels increased significantly after 4 weeks of music therapy, but returned to pretherapy levels at 6 weeks follow-up. The authors concluded that increased levels of melatonin following music therapy may have contributed to patients' relaxed and calm mood.
