Can a common seizure drug reverse Alzheimer’s?

I’ve talked a lot about Alzheimer’s, giving you many ways to avoid it and some powerful ways to treat it. Alzheimer’s is a very tough disease to treat. So I often will throw the entire book of alternative medicine at it because I’m never sure what each individual will respond to. Amazingly, there may be a more conventional approach to try as well.

This conventional treatment is the drug Epilim. As you may know, I don’t usually trumpet drugs for obvious reasons. The “side” effects are typically not worth any benefit they may provide. But once in a while, I actually find a real positive use for a synthetic chemical. And a new study suggests this particular drug may have use with Alzheimer’s disease.

Take this to avoid dying of heart failure

Did you know that if you’re over the age of 65, you have about a one-in-eight chance of suffering from heart failure? This deadly condition contributes to over 300,000 deaths each year. But you can take one supplement to greatly reduce your risk of ever having heart failure.

A recent study followed 236 patients with chronic heart failure. The researchers discovered that the patients’ level of CoQ10 in their plasma was an independent predictor of mortality. They followed the patients for an average 2.7 years. Their median CoQ10 levels during that time were 0.68 mumol/l. That’s much lower than the optimal level of 0.73.

How strong was CoQ10 as a mortality predictor? The researchers found that low CoQ10 plasma levels can double your risk of death!

How to use CoQ10 to completely stop the progression
of Parkinson’s disease

When Parkinson’s disease first shows up, it’s very mild. But as time goes by, the symptoms progress to the point where they are completely incapacitating. If only there was a way to stop the progression of the disease. Well, there is.

Parkinson’s is a mitochondrial disease. Mitochondria are the energy-producing parts of the cell. Every cell in your body has thousands of mitochondria. As long as the mitochondria are working efficiently, the cells (and you) will have boundless amounts of energy.
