Q: cannabis more effective in treating alzheimers than top approved medication?
has anyone done any research on this
A: My Mother and Alzheimer’s and cancer by http://www.myspace.com/hempjack
"Around 1983, when my mother was 75 years old, she was in the first stages of Alzheimer’s disease. She came out to California from Miami Beach for six weeks to visit my children and me. My son, Barry went into the airport to get her, while I waited in the car. Although she had just seen him the year before, she didn’t recognize him and thought he was trying to pick her up. My older sister, Marlene, explained to me that was a symptom of the disease.
At that time, I was just beginning to write a book called “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” about the history of hemp, including the medical history of cannabis. I had read many reports about diseases being treated with cannabis, including the first reports on Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. One report said that if you smoke marijuana morning, noon and night you won’t have a problem with Alzheimer’s. It won’t go away but it won’t progress and may even go backwards a little bit.
My mother didn’t smoke except for maybe 10 tobacco cigarettes a year. When she came to California I gave her marijuana morning, noon and night. She smoked it and ate it. She had never tried it before.
Prior to this, I was never able to really talk to my mother. Our conversations always consisted of her telling me to “don’t do this” or “don’t do that.” Now, for the first time, I was able to talk to my mother about everything including politics, family and about when she first came to the U.S. from Poland 60 years before. It was the most wonderful time in my whole life being able to talk with my mother like that. My only regret was that I didn’t give it to her when she was 45 or 55.
After six weeks she had no symptoms of Alzheimer’s whatsoever. Then it was time for her to go back to Miami Beach to my stepfather. I sent her back with about 60 joints. I was planning on sending her 60 already rolled joints a month.
When she got home she showed her husband what she was doing and he had a fit about her smoking so she quit. He said “You can’t smoke marijuana. I don’t care if you think it’s good for you or not. It’s against the law.” They threw away the 60 joints.
Two years later my mother got so bad she was put into a hospital. One year later she didn’t recognize me or my children at all. She died in 1990. The last 4 years she didn’t recognize me at all when I came to visit.
When I wrote the first edition (106 pages) of my book, I wrote that Alzheimer’s disease is best treated by using marijuana morning, noon, and night (not once in a while). Everyone thought I was crazy, including my brother and sister.
I have kept up on all the information about marijuana for the last 30 years. I’ve known about the preliminary studies for Alzheimer’s since the early ‘80s.
It was recently reported on CNN and newspapers throughout the world that using marijuana is the best treatment for Alzheimer’s. If you use marijuana morning, noon and night it won’t progress. You may even get better. If you start using it when you’re 20 or 30 or 40, your chances are high you will not get Alzheimer’s. Cannabis has been proven to be many times more effective than the drugs currently being used to treat it. But marijuana is illegal in most places.
Thirty percent of all medicines used 100 to 200 years ago were made out of compounds of natural marijuana. In 1964, researchers discovered the main ingredient is THC. No one has ever died from using marijuana.
In 1974, Virginia Medical College in Richmond, Virginia did research on tumors of the lung, brain, liver and kidney using mice and rats. Incredible things were done. The cancer stopped growing and in most cases even reversed itself 100 percent. Some of the mice who were given cancer and treated with cannabis actually lived longer than some of the control mice who were not even given cancer! It was found that marijuana is the best thing to treat cancer of the lungs, brain, etc. After that they were stopped from doing anymore research at all by first Nixon and then Ford. No research with positive results could be done, only research with negative results. That’s the way it’s been since 1975 until now, even though a 1999 marijuana study turned out to be positive also.
You live almost two years longer if you smoke marijuana morning, noon and night. This was the result of the most extensive research ever done (from 1968 to 1974). It was a $6,000,000 study done by Dr. Vera Ruben in Jamaica and Costa Rica. Today that same research would cost $150,000,000. If you smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol, you will lose approximately 8-24 years off your life. If you don’t smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol you will live (in the U.S.) until about 76 for a man and 78 for a woman. But if you smoke marijuana and don’t smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, you live about two years longer than that.
When this study came out in 1974, Nixon and then Ford dropped the most expensive research ever done on anything whatsoever. No more research of any type could be done on marijuana to prove the positive effects, only negative effects. From 1974 until now. "

Q: there is a new treatment for alzheimers disease using enbrel medication.........anyone out there know anything
A: Is this Off Label. I would check the side effects. If they are as bad as most medications I would not take it. You are trading one for the other.
Q: Appropriate Medication for Senior Citizen ?
My 90 year old Mother-In-Law lives with my wife & I along with my disabled adult step-son. Mother-In-Law is in excellent health with the exception of the fact that her memory is starting to diminish. Our Family M.D. has already prescribed a very mild Alzheimers Medication for her but because she is so active , she wreaks havoc by doing things like putting covers or parts from 2 new expensive small kitchen appliances into the garbage causing me to have to buy replacement parts, putting 2x the maximum amount of water into the coffeemaker resulting in weak coffee spilling all over the kitchen floor, making & attempting to feed sandwiches 4 times to my step-son despite the fact that she has been told, many times, that he has an eating disorder & can only eat pureed food --- Short of something as severe as Haldol; Is there an appropriate medication to discuss, with the M.D., that would sedate her where she would sit calmly & watch TV instead of running around like a whirling dervish ?
A: They could try some kind of tranquilizer, but very often those kinds of medications do not work. The danger is if she should decide to take a walk and not know how to get home. She really needs close observation because she could do some things that put the whole family in danger. I would talk to her doctor and see if there is an effective medication that would keep her a little bit snowed.
Q: I am feeling depressed. I dont want to take medication, and was wondering what else is available?
I think it is situational depression. My dad died a year ago, and I was very close to him. It was a great loss. My sister was diagnosed with frontal temporal lobe dementia (early Alzheimers). My 18 yr old daughter has moved in with the biggest skank in the county, She has no money, no job, no car, and is barely surviving with enough to eat. I think her boyfriend is peddling drugs.
I would like a natural remedy to help me. Does anyone know of any herbal remedies. The only thing that helps me now is my cute little doggie.
A: Good diet is terribly healthy and can help your state of mind. When we get depressed we may either eat comfort foods or some of us really cut down on the intake. Neither are good for your mental health. Exercise is also mandatory, even people taking medication should have a regular form of exercise, releases endorphins allows us to work off stress and sleep better(another problem of the depressed). Herbs can be just as potent as drugs(many drugs are simply copies of herbal medicines) so you won't find me advocating those, I am just not learned enough. The pet is a good thing, another way to release those wonderful endorphins, I believe petting animals alone has the potential to reduce stress. Luck with the problem and remember there are times when we can't "pull ourselves up by our boot straps" if you battle long enough with no relief please don't hesitate to ask a professional for help. Be well.

Q: Best Coverage Health Ins. For 74yr old Women With Family History of Alzheimers?
Mother is only taking 1 medication for high colesterol, She Has Humana Gold & medicare primary? Need Information to best cover her if she developes Alzheimer's or Dementia? HELP...I'm her daughter(poa) an I'm Confused! Thank You!
A: The Humana plan is sufficient to cover her health needs. If you are asking should she need assistance with her daily living needs, such as someone to watch over her to make sure she is safe and taken care of, she'll need to get a long-term care policy. Medicare does not pay for long term care and neither do any of the Medicare health plans.
Q: can namenda and trazodone be taken for alzheimers?
My mother is not sleeping well.The doctor prescribed both medications.What are the side effects
A: Yes they can. Trazodone is a psychoactive drug used to basically sedate her. Alzheimers sufferers can get very ambitious in the late stages of the disease...Namenda however, is specifically for alzheimers. Namenda can cause some stomach upset....trazodone will basically put her out (make her very sedated)
Q: What is the opinion of the new British governments proposals on mental health?
Basically, the British government is proposing that all mentally ill people will be subject to a law that states that if you are mentally ill and you do not take the prescribed medication you will be automatically locked up.
My problem is that I have two people with downs syndrome in my family, my gran has alzheimers, one has autism and am very familiar with other relevant illness's such as depression.
Both of my cousins with downs have been given medication for other symptoms, such as heart problems. Nothing to do with the mental issues that are associated.
My Gran was on medication in the early stages 5 years ago and was experiencing physical pain when on it, yet the doctor refused to change it.
My youngest cousin with autism has his problems but is in no way violent.
All of these people would be locked up with commiting a crime and having no past violence. Even people with mild depression will be locked up if they refuse to take their meds with no say in the matter.
A: This seems like a completely unethical proposal. The biggest "problem" is that most mental health issues (which I'd call disorders or dysfunctions rather than illnesses) can be better helped with therapy than medication. On top of that, most drug studies on antidepressant medication show only a small difference between the drug and placebo groups.
It seems doubtful that a law like that would pass. Forcing people to take medication when they have no previous history of violence seems like a huge human rights violation...
Q: Medical professionals: Please help. Problem with Alzheimer's symptoms, but no Alzheimers disease detected?
Recently, my mother has been displaying Alzheimer's symptoms. She has been to the doctor and they have concluded that her brain activity do not display characteristics of the disease. The doctors don't have any explanation as to why my mother is acting accordingly. My mother is also dialysis patient.
Could she have come in contact with a medication that could have caused this problem? Could it be that someone slipped her some sort of narcotic? Please give me some possible explanations. Thank You
A: Alzheimer's disease cannot be definitely diagnosed until after death, when the brain can be closely examined for certain microscopic changes caused by the disease.
However, through thorough testing and a "process of elimination," doctors today can diagnose what they refer to as probable Alzheimer's disease with almost 90% accuracy.

Dialysis can be very hard on the body....I am not sure what your mothers actions are but dialysis can be very draining itself, also as the toxins build up in the body it can cause mental changes....I do not know your circumstances, but wonder why you would think someone is drugging your mom. I do not know how long your mom has been on dialysis or what stage of kidney failure she is in, but end stage renal failure can often cause mental changes also....sorry about your mom....good luck
Q: Alzheimers Disease Help?
My grandmother is 77 years old. She has had alzheimers disease for about 5 years but it is slowly getting worse. She is ALWAYS complaining her head hurts like every 2 minutes. The doctors gave her medication but it doesnt help..anyways why does she have a headache constantly or what causes that 24/7 headache..thank you this is very important to me
A: Having worked with Alzheimer's patients and have taken special classes to work with those who have this process, I have found that most often they can become fixated over one problem that they have had in the past,
I am not saying she doe not experience headaches she probably has a history of headaches . There are some who become fixative about what there job use to be ie: bringing paper work to nurses asking that the task be completed as soon as possible.
In short not all but some go through life with the same complaint or pattern of behavior on a daily basis.If she has had headaches in the past making sure she has medication on a regular basis will assure you that she has appropriate therapy for the problem. With this disease process one wold not worry about drug addiction to a particular medication
