What You Need to Know About Vitamin C and Alzheimer’s Disease

Vitamin CIt’s hard to believe that over the past 115 years since it’s discovery, there are still no treatments or drugs to cure Alzheimer’s disease. Over 5.6 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s, and that number is expected to triple by 2050. Alzheimer’s and other dementias are thought to start 10 to 20 years before any symptoms appear.

Alzheimer’s Stages
1. No significant symptoms
2. Mild: minor memory lapse, confusion, loss of words, names, and events
3. Moderate: Loss of critical thinking, growing frustration, and anxiety
4. Severe: Forgetting family/friends, lack of judgment, cannot maintain personal care, irritability, hostility, loss of speech, and incontinence
5. End-Stage: Death is imminent due to complications such as inability to swallow food, chronic infections, or stroke, to name a few.

Due to numerous issues like diabetes, the standard American “low fat” diet, toxins, and chronic illness, Alzheimer’s and dementia can affect almost anyone. Patients usually have some form of vascular issues and plaque that builds up in the brain. Traditional medications that are prescribed are thought to slow the progression of the disease; however, many experts now believe that plaque is the body’s way of protecting the brain from the disease.

Plaque is known as Atherosclerosis, and while it may offer protective measures against the initial stages of Alzheimer’s, it is the primary cause of stroke and other vascular issues. One sign that this is occurring in your body is the diagnosis of high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

The Benefits of Vitamin C
There have been multiple studies on patients with various diseases, including Alzheimer’s, that received high doses of IV (intravenous) vitamin C, and the promising results of these patients improving is remarkable.

In testing the brain and blood of Alzheimer’s patients, it has been well documented that they have severe vitamin C deficiencies. Vitamin C can dissolve toxic protein aggregates in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. Having sufficient vitamin C is one of the critical components to staving off or combating this progressive disease. It would behoove patients if the specialists treating Alzheimer’s patients looked more closely at vitamin C therapy because it is thought to be a significant treatment breakthrough for patients with neurodegenerative diseases. High doses of vitamin C have also been studied in the favorable improvement of the myelin sheath that protects the nerves. The myelin sheath plays a crucial role in patients with neurological issues.

IV Therapy Advantages
Vitamin C can be absorbed in relatively large quantitates by the body, but even more so by IV therapy. When given intravenously, larger amounts are absorbed and not excreted than by taking a supplement or by eating fruits and vegetables alone.

While eating a healthy diet and taking vitamins is very beneficial, the IV-induced vitamin C is able to enter the bloodstream, infiltrate tissues and pass through the blood-brain barrier easier than with traditional supplementation.

VIdaful offers numerous IV therapy treatments.
