  • Neuroprotection in Alzheimer's Disease
    Chapter 8 Neuroprotection in Alzheimer’s Disease Introduction Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive degenerative disorder of the brain that begins with memory impairment and eventually progresses to dementia, physical impairment, and death. Patients develop various psychiatric and neurological signs during the course of the disease. The prevalence rates of dementia vary significantly in different countries, but range from 2.1 to 10.5%. AD is the most common type of dementia, accounting for 50–60% of all cases, and is described in detail in a special report on AD (Jain 2010). Several other types of dementias are considered in the differential diagnosis of AD and sometimes all the dementias are lumped together if the type is not known. Other well-known types of dementias are vascular dementia, dementia of aging, and dementia associated with HIV infection. The focus of this section is on AD and some other dementias will be described in Chap. 11. Pathomechanism of Alzheimer’s Disease Several factors that play a role in the etiology and pathogenesis of AD include the following: • Aging • Genetic risk factors • Amyloid precursor protein (APP) and beta-amyloid (Ab) accumulation with neural and vascular sequelae • Tau hyperphosphorylation • Membrane disturbances, phospholipid metabolism, and disruption of signal transduction • Inflammatory reactions and immunological disturbances • Environmental toxins: trace metals • Neurotransmitter defects and imbalances K.K. Jain, The Handbook of Neuroprotection, DOI 10.1007/978-1-61779-049-2_8, 337 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 338 8 Neuroprotection in Alzheimer’s Disease • Neuroendocrine disturbances • Oxidative injury and free radicals • Disturbances in regulation and receptors of neurotrophic factors (NTFs) Such a large number of factors in the etiology of AD are responsible for the plethora of theories of cause of AD.

Academic Editor: Maria Emília de Sousa Received: 11 April 2017; Accepted: 15 May 2017; Published: 25 May 2017 Abstract: Multidrug resistance (MDR) is regarded as one of the bottlenecks of successful clinical treatment for numerous chemotherapeutic agents. Multiple key regulators are alleged to be responsible for MDR and making the treatment regimens ineffective. In this review, we discuss MDR in relation to P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and its down-regulation by natural bioactive molecules. P-gp, a unique ATP-dependent membrane transport protein, is one of those key regulators which are present in the lining of the colon, endothelial cells of the blood brain barrier (BBB), bile duct, adrenal gland, kidney tubules, small intestine, pancreatic ducts and in many other tissues like heart, lungs, spleen, skeletal muscles, etc.

  • MINI-REVIEW Cancer Multidrug Resistance (MDR): a Major
    Cancer Multidrug Resistance: A Major Impediment to Effective Chemotherapy MINI-REVIEW Cancer Multidrug Resistance (MDR): A Major Impediment to Effective Chemotherapy Mohd Fahad Ullah Abstract Multidrug resistance (MDR) continues to be a major challenge to effective chemotherapeutic interventions against cancer. Various types of cancers have been observed to exhibit this phenomenon, a strategy that involves cellular and non cellular mechanisms employed by cancer cells to survive the cytotoxic actions of various structurally and functionally unrelated drugs. The present article is a brief review of the fundamental mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of MDR in cancer cells and some novel approaches addressed at its inhibition, circumvention or reversal. The emergence of natural products as potential anti-MDR molecules is of particular significance. Since many of these are essential components of the human diet, they are expected to possess fewer side effects and may possibly represent a new generation of MDR modulators. Key Words: Multidrug resistance - chemotherapy - mechanisms - natural modulators Asian Pacific J Cancer Prev, 9, 1-6 Introduction specificity in terms of origin, vasculature and tissue function.

  • Rope Parasite” the Rope Parasite Parasites: Nearly Every AuSC Child I Ever Treated Proved to Carry a Significant Parasite Burden
    Au#sm: 2015 Dietrich Klinghardt MD, PhD Infec4ons and Infestaons Chronic Infecons, Infesta#ons and ASD Infec4ons affect us in 3 ways: 1. Immune reac,on against the microbes or their metabolic products Treatment: low dose immunotherapy (LDI, LDA, EPD) 2. Effects of their secreted endo- and exotoxins and metabolic waste Treatment: colon hydrotherapy, sauna, intes4nal binders (Enterosgel, MicroSilica, chlorella, zeolite), detoxificaon with herbs and medical drugs, ac4vaon of detox pathways by solving underlying blocKages (methylaon, etc.) 3. Compe,,on for our micronutrients Treatment: decrease microbial load, consider vitamin/mineral protocol Lyme, Toxins and Epigene#cs • In 2000 I examined 10 au4s4c children with no Known history of Lyme disease (age 3-10), with the IgeneX Western Blot test – aer successful treatment. 5 children were IgM posi4ve, 3 children IgG, 2 children were negave. That is 80% of the children had clinical Lyme disease, none the history of a 4cK bite! • Why is it taking so long for au4sm-literate prac44oners to embrace the fact, that many au4s4c children have contracted Lyme or several co-infec4ons in the womb from an oVen asymptomac mother? Why not become Lyme literate also? • Infec4ons can be treated without the use of an4bio4cs, using liposomal ozonated essen4al oils, herbs, ozone, Rife devices, PEMF, colloidal silver, regular s.c injecons of artesunate, the Klinghardt co-infec4on cocKtail and more. • Symptomac infec4ons and infestaons are almost always the result of a high body burden of glyphosate, mercury and aluminum - against the bacKdrop of epigene4c injuries (epimutaons) suffered in the womb or from our ancestors( trauma, vaccine adjuvants, worK place related lead, aluminum, herbicides etc., electromagne4c radiaon exposures etc.) • Most symptoms are caused by a confused upregulated immune system (molecular mimicry) Toxins from a toxic environment enter our system through damaged boundaries and membranes (gut barrier, blood brain barrier, damaged endothelium, etc.).

Methods: Searches for studies examining biotechnological and pharmacological products in Army populations were conducted in December 2015. Cochrane CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsycINFO were searched; no date or language restrictions were applied. WHO’s International Clinical Trials Registry Platform and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched to identify ongoing trials. Studies meeting inclusion criteria were evaluated for risk of bias using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool.

  • Cognitive Enhancers
    Cognitive enhancers Memory enhancers are often referred to as "smart drugs", "study drugs",[1] "smart nutrients", "cognitive enhancers", "brain enhancers" or in the scientific literature as nootropics.[2] They are drugs that are purported to improve human cognitive abilities.[3][4] The term covers a broad range of substances including drugs, nutrients and herbs with purported cognitive enhancing effects. The word nootropic was coined in 1964 by Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea, derived from the Greek words noos, or "mind," and tropein meaning "to bend/turn". Typically, nootropics are thought to work by altering the availability of the brain's supply of neurochemicals (neurotransmitters, enzymes, and hormones), by improving the brain's oxygen supply, or by stimulating nerve growth. However the efficacy of nootropic substances in most cases has not been conclusively determined. This is complicated by the difficulty of defining and quantifying cognition and intelligence.

While treating cognitive deficit symptoms in neuropsychiatric or neurodegenerative disorders using CEs might have significant benefits for patients, the increasing recreational use of these substances by healthy individuals raises many clinical, medico-legal, and ethical issues. Moreover, it has become very challenging for clinicians to Edited by: keep up-to-date with CEs currently available as comprehensive official lists do not exist. Simona Pichini, Methods: Using a web crawler (NPSfinder®), the present study aimed at assessing National Institute of Health (ISS), Italy Reviewed by: psychonaut fora/platforms to better understand the online situation regarding CEs.
