Metals Fighting Brain Disease!!!
It has now been noticed that certain metals may be able to take Alzheimer's-like symptoms and Parkinson's away!!! Some sciecntist ar e now saying that "metals role in the brain could help shed light on a range of medical conditions and might offer a new route for developing treatments". Ralph Nixon, Chairman of the Alzheimer's Association medical and scientific advisory council and director of the Silberstein Alzheimer's Institute at New York University says that "The field is coming around to the idea of the cause of Alzheimer's being multifactorial and disturbed metal regulation could be one of those factors." A new study done by Dr. Bush has shown that as mice aged that symptoms has occurred of those who are now currently suffering from both diseases, that also include short term memory loss and a low amount of iron in the brain. Dr. Bush gave these mice a drug and it showed that it removed the iron from the brain and that it reversed the symptom back to normal, which now may become a new treatment for those who are suffering from one or both diseases!
I think that with this new drug that Dr. Bush has discovered may come out with a positive outcome for those who suffer both diseases! I think that he may be able to help a lot of people that are out in the world to beat this disease! This article was a good one for me to read because it made me realize that there could be something done to help innocent people out in the world! Now not so many people will die with the disease that some human beings may have or may get later on in life! I recommend people to research on this more into depth for a lot more information!
