UPDATED LOGIC STEPS  TAKEN TO DETERMINE CAUSE & TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S

2-19-12

The following further confirm the Cause and Treatment of Alzheimer's posted on website:  http://www.iowalive.net/alzheimers.htm

As shown in the following table:

  1. GOOGLE searches show a large umber of references for Alzheimer's and two minerals
  2. Iowalive's research of these references and more show iron and selenium deficiencies are the most likely causes of Alzheimer's disease. 
  3. 0 values equate to FALSE
  4. Values exceeding 900 equate to TRUE
  5. Scientist's do not know what causes Alzheimer's disease!
  6. Therefore, scientists do not know that long term deficiencies in iron and selenium DO NOT cause Alzheimer's.
  CAUSE & TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S   
  GOOGLE RESULTS FOR THE FOLLOWING:  
  ALZHEIMER'S AND IRON = 5,270,000  references--many negative for iron  
  Alzheimer's and selenium = 986,000  references—mostly considering selenium as a preventer of Alzheimer’s.   
Explanation:  The Integrity Level for the possible cause of Alzheimer's in step 1 below was determined first.  This was repeated for each step to determine the Integrity Level for each possible cause.  Once a high Integrity number was obtained, new possible causes were evaluated until the cause was determined.  Only a small number of the 0's encountered are shown.  Typical Integrity Level Derivation methods are posted on website:  http://www.iowalive.net/integrityderivation.htm   
RESULTS OF EVALUATION OF THE CAUSE AND TREATMENT OF Alzheimer's USING IOWALIVE'S PROPRIETARY ALGORITHMS, DATA BASE AND CONVERGING LOGIC METHODS.  4-14-10
ALZHEIMER'S IS CAUSED BY AN IMBALANCE IN BRAIN CHEMISTRY CAUSED BY LONG TIME IRON AND SELENIUM DEFICIENCIES & CAN BE REVERSED IN 70% OF EARLY AND MILD CASES ONLY.  MODERATE AND SEVERE CASES CAN NOT BE REVERSED, BUT THEY CAN BE TREATED AND HALTED OR SLOWED IN 80% OF THOSE  CASES AS WELL.
Chronological Order of Converging Evaluation Logic Steps Taken to Determine Cause of Alzheimer's & its Treatment DETERMINATION OF CAUSE OF Alzheimer's AND TREATMENT FOR Alzheimer's  Integrity Index Level of Statements &  Possible Cause of Alzheimer's--on Scale of 0 to 1,000 Tops, Where Significant Integrity Starts at 300
1 Scientists don’t yet fully understand what causes Alzheimer’s disease, but it is clear that it develops because of a complex series of events that take place in the brain over a long period of time. It is likely that the causes include genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Because people differ in their genetic make-up and lifestyle, the importance of these factors for preventing or delaying Alzheimer’s differs from person to person. 450

3 Environmental conditions. 0
4 Nutritional deficiencies. 960
5 Deficiencies in vitamins. 0
6 Imbalance in brain chemistry caused by deficiencies in minerals. 998
7 Inability to synthesize and utilize consumed minerals 0

9 Insufficient intake of two minerals  950
10 Alzheimer's is caused by long term deficiency in Iron, and in about 3% of the cases, also selenium--including mild deficiencies 999
11 Sources of Iron--blackstrap molasses, eggs, fish, organ meats, poultry, wheat germ desiccated liver, shredded wheat 920
12 Recommended Daily Allowance of Iron--10 to 18 mg; Supplementary Ranges 15 to 50 mg, Toxicity--100 mg or more. if taken regularly 920
13 Anti-Iron --coffee, excess phosphorous, zinc or copper, manganese 950
14 Deficiency Symptoms--breathing difficulties, brittle nails, anemia, constipation, sore or inflamed tongue  920
15 Alzheimer's can be reversed by effective consumption of from 20 mg to 100 mg of Iron per day--along with Selenium.  Amount varies with the individual.   990
16 Sources of Selenium--eggs, fish, animal meats, whole grain, brown rice, lobster 950
17 Recommended Daily Allowance of Selenium--.05 to .2 mg; Supplementary Ranges 90 to 200 mcg, Toxicity--500 mg or more. if taken regularly 950
18 Anti-Selenium --mercury, cadmium, silver, arsenic, sulfates 950
19 Selenium Deficiency Symptoms--mercury toxicity, pancreatic insufficiency, cardiac toxicity of drugs, aging pigment, poor oxidation of fats, blood hemolytic problems.  950
20 Very Early and Mild Alzheimer's can be reversed in 70% of cases by effective consumption of from 10 mcg to 15 mcg of Selenium per day--along with Iron.  Amount varies with the individual.   950
21 Moderate and Severe Alzheimer's cases can not be reversed, but they can be treated and halted or slowed in 80% of those cases as well..   950
22 A deficiency in selenium causes greatly diminished assimilation of iron 0
23 Iron particles found in the brain clearly indicate an excess of iron in the body 0
24 Iron particles found in the brain clearly indicate  consumption and the presence of non assimilated iron in the body--but they do not cause Alzheimer's disease, as some believe.  They rather mislead researchers to blame iron for Alzheimer's.   950
25 About 65% of the iron supplements sold over the counter are poorly assimilated by the body.   960
26 About 20% of the iron supplements prescribed by doctors are poorly assimilated by the body.   960
27 Ferrous Fumarate is one of the better sources of iron 980
28 Ferrous sulfate and  Hydrolyzed Protein Chelate are inferior sources of iron 980
29 Non assimilated iron is deposited in the brain 998
30 Alzheimer's can be caused by long term, undetectable deficiencies in iron 996
31 Researchers have not provided doctors with reliable tests for low levels of iron deficiency. 996
