Diet and Alzheimer's disease
People who eat fish at least once a week have a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease and lower risk of dementia, but only if they do not carry the gene that increases the risk of Alzheimer's, called apolipoprotein E4, or ApoE4. Most people do not carry the ApoE4 gene.

Diet and Alzheimer's disease - reduce your sugar intake
Eating too much sugar could be bad for your brain.

The animals that consumed sugar had a greater degree of Alzheimer's-like damage to their brains.

Alzheimer's Dementia Research Update - New Alzheimer's information
Drugs for Alzheimer's dementia, which pharmaceutical companies and campaigners have lobbied the UK government to provide to large numbers of elderly patients with dementia across the country at a cost of over £39m a year, have little effect on their memory and do not stop the distressing deterioration of their lives, according to an important study published July 2004. The five-year study, paid for by the NHS and not the drug companies, found that the drugs are a waste of the scarce resources available for the condition, said the lead re searcher Roger Gray, director of Birmingham University's clinical trials unit

Estrogen pills appear to slightly increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia in postmenopausal women, a study found, echoing recent findings involving estrogen-progestin supplements. The findings contradict the long-held belief that estrogen pills can help keep older women’s minds sharp. The results came from a government study called the Women’s Health Initiative and were published in The Journal of the American Medical Association. The research involved nearly 3,000 women, ages 65 to 79, who had had hysterectomies and had taken daily estrogen-only pills, sold by Wyeth Pharmaceuticals as Premarin, for an average of about five years.

Alzheimer's Disease information - symptoms
There are several symptoms common to Alzheimer disease patients. These symptoms include: trouble remembering things...at first, only short-term memory may be affected. The individual may forget an appointment or the name of a new acquaintance. A person may also forget where they left things. Eventually, long-term memory is also impaired. An inability to correctly identify familiar odors may be an early indication of the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
   Alzheimer disease symptoms include mood or personality changes. A person may suddenly become angry or sad for no apparent reason. Or someone who was social and outgoing may become withdrawn.
  Trouble completing ordinary tasks is another symptom of Alzheimer's disease. Simple tasks that once caused no difficulty may become much more challenging. For example, the individual may forget how to dress, use the oven, etc.
   Alzheimer disease symptoms include difficulty expressing thoughts and disorientation. We all know what it's like to be driving and momentarily forget where you are going. But those with Alzheimer's disease may get lost in their neighborhood. They may also lose track of dates and the time.
   Unusual behavior. The individual may wander, become agitated, hide things, wear too few or too many clothes, become overly suspicious, or engage in unsafe behaviors.

Alzheimer's Dementia characteristic
Alzheimer's dementia is characterized by widespread neuronal loss, beta-amyloid deposits in the cerebral blood vessels, development of neuritic plaques and the presence of neurofibrillary tangles. These changes, occurring in the association area of the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus and the middle and temporal lobes, are accompanied by decreased concentrations of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Recent US census figures suggest that by 2050, the number of people with AD will triple.

Pharmaceutical options for Alzheimer's dementia
Cholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine are often used but they do not provide a cure or long term solution.
   Celecoxib or naproxen medication use does not prevent the onset of Alzheimer dementia, at least within the early years after initiation of treatment. Celecoxib 200 mg bid does not slow the progression of Alzehimer's dementia, and the occurrence of adverse events is expected for an elderly population with a complex chronic medical condition.
