Natural and Medical Alzheimer’s Treatments

Alzheimer’s disease was once thought to be untreatable. Now, as science’s knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease grows, Alzheimer’s treatments are being developed and implemented every day. The most common and easiest of these treatments is enrichment, although there are now medications that can slow or even halt the progression of the disease, allowing for better days with loved ones.

A said, the most common and easily practiced form of Alzheimer’s disease is enrichment. When one hears the word enrichment, the thought of an animal penned in a zoo cage with a block of ice as entertainment. This is enrichment, but for people it can be significantly more complex. For adult human’s, enrichment can include crossword puzzles, suduku, and other intellectual games. Taking a walk and experiencing new and exciting things are also great ways to enrich the life of an Alzheimer’s patient.

Medications are also becoming a widely accepted member of Alzheimer’s treatments. These medications work to slow the deterioration of the brain on a physical level. These controls are not affective for everyone, but for those in whom it is effective in, the results are generally within the week and significant. These medications do have nasty side effects that the enrichment by nature would not have. These side effects include dizziness, nausea, weight loss, and a lower blood pressure. This is a lot to risk with someone who is already weak from the disease. Enrichment may be the best starting answer.

Mood stabilizing drugs are also often seen as Alzheimer’s treatments. This is because as Alzheimer’s disease progresses, keeping one’s moods from shifting, sometimes violently, can become extremely difficult. These medications help to control these shifts and allow some peace for those caring for the patient and for the patient him or herself.

As the medical field advances the knowledge and understanding of Alzheimer’s, the treatment options will only increase. Eventually it will not be a matter of treating Alzheimer’s; it will be a matter of curing the disease and reversing the damage previously done by the disease.
