(8,303 posts)Vasculitis is implicated in multiple disorders, and the protocol given will sharply reduce blood sugar fluctuations and small vessel spasming in most individuals. This, along with adequate protein and daily exercise, improves blood flow to tissues. Over time, there is a very definite improvement.
This is close to an experimental program we are following with some diabetic patients, and the improvement in mental and physical function is dramatic.
We started to develop it because some patients with heart problems need beta blockers, but do terribly on them. The only thing we could come up with when looking at this group was that they had abnormal blood sugar curves, and there were indications that they always had (most weren't diabetics, so it was genetic). Beta blockers will all reduce the ability of the body to respond to blood sugar fluctuations.
I suspect that marginal loss of mental function is causing a decline in compensatory function in the AD patients, and I don't find it surprising at all that this protocol would improve their functioning after seeing patients develop dementia quite rapidly on beta blockers and then reverse the condition when the stabilization program was started and the beta blocker dosage was reduced and altered to allow better parasympathetic function in these patients.
Doing tests on healthier subjects, we find that by altering the balance of minerals in their system we can observe very similar changes.
