Two Nobel Prize Winners Are Hot On The Trail To A Breakthrough
May 2005, Clarksburg,MD -Researchers funded by the Alzheimer's Disease Research including TWO Nobel Prize winners--have made breakthrough discoveries that may signal the end of the Alzheimer's reign of terror! Thanks to the biggest research breakthroughs since Alzheimer's was discovered in 1906, we may be at the end of this horrible disease said Dr Brian K. Regan, Ph.D.
Dr. Stanley Prusiner won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1997 for his discovery of a new class of disease-causing agents called prions. The study of prions may unlock the final mysteries of the disease process of Alzheimer's.
The 2000 Nobel prize in Medicine went to Dr. Paul Greene and two other researchers for their groundbreaking discoveries of the mechanisms by which the brain cells transfer information from one to the other.
The direction is clear according to Dr.Brian K. Regan,Ph.D, All we need is the funding to go there. And the sooner we do, the fewer people will suffer and die.
Alzheimer's disease claims a new victim every two minutes and kills another American every six minutes. Experts predict that the number of Alzheimer victims could reach 14 million in the next in the next 50 years. Already one in three families is affected by Alzheimer's disease, but if this trend is not broken, one out of every two baby boomers may develop Alzheimer's as they enter their senior years.
Fruits and vegetable juices, clean gums can defend against disease; tests being discovered that can spot Alzheimer's 9 years prior to first symptoms appearing.
The race to prevent Alzheimer's has taken on an urgency as the number of Americans with the disease is expected to soar in the coming decades said the Associated Press article of June 20,2005.
Amy Borenstein of the University of South Florida College of Public health studied more than 1800 people and found that those who drank fruit or vegetable juice three times or more a week were four times less likely to develop Alzheimer's late in life than people who rarely or never drank juice.
