Alzheimer's and Trehalose
It places huge burdens on carers and despite many hundreds of pharmaceutical drug trials as yet there is no treatment or cure. So my principal belief is go back to nature. That is what this lens is about.
Alzheimer's is characterised by the build up of mal-formed proteins in the brain which effectively stops it working right. If you can go to the root of the problem and stop or reduce the proteins mal-forming in the first place then it doesn't take a brain scientist to see the potential benefits. Trehalose has been seen to do just that in medical studies.

Diabetes is endemic in western society today and it is increasing all over the world where we see people switch to a diet rich in simple starch and carbohydrates. China, Nigeria, Kenya, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Europe, America, Canada are all reporting explosive growth in diabetes.- Huntingtons Disease | Protection Is The Aim | There Is Hope
- This site is about educating and informing. Huntington's disease is a progressive, degenerative disease that causes certain nerve cells in your brain to waste away. As a result, you may experience uncontrolled movements, emotional disturbances and mental deterioration. Huntington's disease is an inherited disease.
- Trehalose and Teeth
Trehalose does not cause nearly so many problems for tooth enamel. So if you have children who love the sweet taste of sugar this might be a suitable and even beneficial alternative for you and them. It might even be a way for you as a parent to get your own back on your children without them even knowing.- trehalose-weight-loss

OK the word SUGAR normally means bad, unhealthy, stop eating it, too much in our diets but what I'm about to show you is that there is a sugar (not a chemical or artificial sweetener) that is not only good for you but tastes and looks just like table sugar. In fact we've swapped it in homes for table sugar and no one has even noticed.
Peptides and Trehalose In Alzheimer's
demystifying the scientific jargon
Peptides - basically amino acids (proteins) joined together.
Neurofibrillary tangles are malformed proteins found within neurons.
So in very simple language Alzheimer's is caused when malformed proteins get into the wrong areas of the brain and clump together.
Trehalose inhibits clumping together of the malformed protein. The higher the concentrations of Trehalose the better the results. In studies high concentration of Trehalose completely inhibited aggregation of this peptide.
Please note that we are not suggesting self treatment or diagnosis but based upon the intrinsically safe nature of Trehalose we have incorporated it into our own diets in place of sugar and intend to let nature do its best.
Do More of These
Increase your mental activity. Take up playing chess, reading, play mental games, stimulate the brain. There are some great games for the Nintendo DS lite which are specifically designed to stimulate those neurons
- Increase you water intake slowly to about 2 litres per day. Drink a little all the time and don't try to increase your intake too quickly
- Increase the amount of fresh organic fruit and vegetables you eat.
- Add a good OMEGA 3 Fish oil supplement to your diet
- Add trehalose to you diet in place of sugar. If you don't use sugar then aim for 6 teaspoons of trehalose per day.
- quality sleep - up to 8-10 hours per day
Add some of the best synergistic antioxidants in the world. These are not your 'run of the mill' antioxidants like Vitamin C but scientifically proven plant extracts that work together to raise the serum antioxidant levels. I have only one to recomend - e mail me for details
Reduce these
- tea and coffee
- alcohol
- smoking
- limit oily fish to once per week unless you can certify that it has been caught in the wild and not on the continental shelf around Europe.
- stress - physical, emotional and viral
