Alzheimers Research

After using ho-oponopono for a few weeks on Terry Pratchett showing up in my expereince with Alzheimer, I was interested to read an article about new treatment currently being explored by the medical community

I suggest you keep saying 'thank you, I love you' as you read the article

Alzheimer's may be tackled by treating a patient's liver, research suggests
Alzheimer's may in future be tackled by treating a patient's liver, new research suggests.
Scientists have discovered a strong link between circulating levels of a toxic protein in the blood and the disease.

They believe helping the liver to clear amyloid-beta protein from the blood could provide a new way of combating the devastating effects of Alzheimer's, the most common form of dementia.

Alzheimer's, which causes progressive loss of memory and mental faculties, affects almost 417,000 people in the UK. A key characteristic of the disease is the accumulation of neuron-damaging amyloid-beta (A-beta) in the brain.
The new research shows that levels of the protein in the brain are affected by their levels in the peripheral blood stream.

Scientists in the US and Hong Kong manipulated the livers of laboratory rats to increase blood levels of amyloid-beta. One of the liver's primary jobs is to remove toxic substances from the blood stream. The researchers found that raising A-beta blood levels slowed down the speed at which molecules of the protein were swept from the rats' brains.

The findings, reported in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, support the theory that freely circulating amyloid-beta concentrations outside the brain can regulate clearance rates inside the central nervous system.
Dr David Cook, from the University of Washington School of Medicine said: "We knew from previous work that the liver plays an important role in removing A-beta from the blood.

"So, we thought if we temporarily prevented liver-mediated clearance it might be possible to set or 'clamp' peripheral A-beta levels long enough to find out whether A-beta in the blood stream affects A-beta clearance from the brain.
"We were a bit surprised to see how effective this strategy was. Peripheral A-beta clearance immediately halted almost completely. For several years it has been suggested that the circulatory system can act like an A-beta sink. The data clearly show that the liver is the primary drain."

This may bring hope to many sufferers and their families, and may well be a stepping stone towards a true cure.
I am a bit concerned about the use of rats in the research, but rather than judge the scientists for using animals in the research, I continue to use my ho-opomnopono cleaning tools on all of this
