Vitamin E may slow Alzheimer's.(Goodnews: essential natural health news)(Alzheimer's disease)(Brief Article)
Is it possible that vitamin E can slow the effects of Alzheimer's disease--the ultimately fatal condition that robs people of the ability to remember and communicate, afflicts 4 million Americans and affects one-third of the families in the United States in some way? Perhaps.
A new study suggests that when vitamin E is taken along with standard Alzheimer's medicine, the disease's progression can be slowed. While medication is partly responsible for the effects seen in the study, researchers believe that combining drugs with vitamin E increases the benefits.
David Beversdorf, MD, of the Ohio State University Medical Center, compared patients over a 3-year period. Adding vitamin E supplements to the drug Aricept (donepezil) slowed the progression of Alzheimer's significantly.
"The decline in the treated group was about two and a half times the decline of the untreated," Beversdorf said in an interview. The study was published in the April/June 2003 issue of Alzheimer Disease & Associated Disorders.
