A new perspective has gradually gained a significant consensus of agreement over the past 10 to 20 years concerning the cause and treatment of memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease. For greater than 100 years, the primary belief about Alzheimer’s disease has been the misperception of the disease being one that attacks the elderly and the primary cause is amyloid plaques. The foundation of this perspective it’s based on the discovery of amyloid plaques in autopsies of patients who died from Alzheimer’s disease. Billions of dollars have been invested in finding medications to eliminate the amyloid plaques from the brains of Individuals suffering with dementia. Although antibodies were formulated that removed amyloid plaques from the brain, the results showed no significant benefit for patients.
The new perspective is that your brain is aging and dying over your lifespan resulting in the loss of brain cells and density. The amyloid plaques now appear to be simply an accumulation of dead brain cells. Prevention and treatment are now focused on maintaining the health and longevity of the neurological system combined with aggressive medical treatment early after the detection of memory loss.
