    Article: Ayurveda For Alzheimer's disease by Dr. Shubhankari P Rao

    Those who had seen Mr.'s Wagle in early eighties had picturised her as a lady of Magnetic personality, proud and totally confident - an epitome of a devoted wife and an excellent homemaker. She was a pillar of strength for the functioning of the rest of the household and a wife who would stay night after night with her husband in ill health and praying him back to health with rock bound faith. Today Mrs. Wagle after almost 20Years is unperturbed, unconcerned and undisturbed even on death of her husband. She has sunk into profound memory loss and failed to recognize even her husband --- a disease medically termed as Alzheimer's (dementia) a brain disorder which is irreversible.

    The disease slowly progressed to long-term memory loss. She developed loss of reasoning; difficulty in communicating with others, decreased judgment abilities and found it difficult even in performing daily activities. Initially, precaution had to be taken to ensure safety and comfort because she was prone to wandering and getting lost.

    What happens in Alzheimer's?
    People with Alzheimer's experience difficulties in communicating, learning, thinking, and reasoning. These problems are so severe that they could affect the individual's work, social activities and family life.

    Ayurveda terms this as smruthi nasha, caused by the depletion of dhatus or tissue elements and upward movement of the excessively accumulated bio energies. Intellect is pure, transparent, sharp, accurate, and subtle. The abode of intellect, which is the carrier of the three types of gunas- satvik, rajasik, tamasik, gets disturbed and their balance is lost. Satvik guna, which represents purity and consciousness, gets visually impaired by rajas, (the attribute of mind which usually represents energy and dynamism) and. Tamaa ,(the attribute of mind representing passivity and ignorance). manovaha srotas channels carrying cyclic impulses principally responsible for memory is kindled by the satva or the intellect.When this is completely evolved in tamaha or darkness the person is effected and there is malfunctioning of the mental activities. It is easier to prevent alzhimer's then looking for treatment for correcting it.

    Treatment Modalities for Alzheimer's disease in stages:
    Stage 1:
    No impairment. Normal functions. Candidates do not exhibit any memory problems to the Doctor.
    Treatment -

    • Wholesome diet to the mind and body.
    • Regulated life style
    • Being a good judge in differentiating between good and bad. And acting accordingly.
    • Not getting too much engrossed in sensory pleasures.
    • Learn sharing, when you give your possessions............

    Stage 2:
    Very mild cognitive decline
    The candidates feel as if they have memory lapses. When they are talking and may forget familiar words, names or every day objects but may not exhibit during a checkup.
    What happens in the brain ............

    In the News :
    Nutritional supplements may overcome AIDS

    According to the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service "new clinical reports from Zambia, Uganda and South Africa indicate that AIDS may be stopped by nutritional supplementation. A number of members of the medical profession have observed that high doses of the trace element selenium, and of the amino acids cysteine, tryptophan, and glutamine can together rapidly reverse the symptoms of AIDS, as predicted by Dr. Harold D. Foster's nutritional hypothesis." Yet, all the money for fighting AIDS is pumped into expensive and largely useless anti-retroviral drugs...
