Dementia

Dementia

Jake Ames, MD, HMD

Dementia is a general category of brain diseases that causes long term inability to think and remember.  It affects a person’s daily functioning, and usually also causes emotional problems, decreased motivation and eventual loss in language.

Alzheimer’s disease is the the most common form of dementia which amounts to 50% to 70% of all cases.

Vascular dementia, usually from either multiple strokes or severe atherosclerosis makes up to 25% of cases.

Other causes are Lewy body dementia, syphilis, chronic mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum exposure, Parkinson’s disease, Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease, hypothyroidism, vitamin B1 deficiency, vitamins B12 and folate deficiencies, MTHFR mutation and others.

Diagnosis

Diagnosing dementia can be a challenge.  Neurologists use cognitive testing, such as asking patients to subtract 3’s from 100, who were the last three U.S. Presidents; people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones (Do not criticize others if you have similar weaknesses yourself), the mini mental examination, CT and MRI scans with and without contrast and SPECT or PET scans, Lyme Disease IgM Western Blot from IGeneX, Inc., DMPS challenge test. 

Physicians should ask about present and past mercury exposure, such as mercury amalgam fillings, root canals, occupational exposure to chemicals and heavy metals.

Laboratory and history testing should include complete blood counts, full metabolic panel including a complete lipid panel, lipoprotein (a), fibrinogen, homocysteine, CRP-HS, complete thyroid hormone tests, DHEA-Sulfate, testosterone, estradiol, estrone, progesterone, FSH in women, afternoon resting oral temperatures, apo E genotype, history of diet colas (aspartame), history of MSG, the person’s diet (ratio of protein to fats to carbohydrates), history of chronic stress, alcohol history, what types of fats they consume and their cooking oils, family history of celiac disease or gluten intolerance, mold exposure, food allergies, smoking history, current of past hypertension, etc.

Treatment

1:  Remove mercury amalgam dental fillings and all root canals

2:  Correct all abnormal blood labs.

3:  Dr. Kwasniewski’s ketogenic diet

4:  Urine fasting according to Armstrong (Book: “The Water of Life” by Armstrong)

5:  EDTA and DMPS chelation

6:  DHEA, Pregnenolone, Testosterone, Estradiol (women), and possible Human Growth Hormone, Thyroid hormone if needed.

7:  Exercise program

8:  Crossword puzzles, Sudoku, mathematic exercises, reading, playing a musical instrument, dancing.  (Use your brain in many ways.)

9:  Ozone therapy

I have successfully reversed beginning and moderate Alzheimer’s disease with my protocols.  It is important that one stay on Dr. Kwasniewski’s diet their entire life with intermittent urine fasting according to Armstrong’s protocol.

Any deviation of this will bring back the dementia.
