"Give with a free hand, but give only
your own."
-- J.R.R. Tolkien The Children of Hurin
I have nothing to sell you but
hope, and that I give you for free.
Not a cure, unfortunately, but
rather a control.
This may be able to transform a terminal illness into a
controlled condition, a death sentence into weekends of public
service. Beware of the other health consequences of
immobility, as these could be fatal.

PLEASE NOTE: This
list is very much out of date. I've learned about
several new things to try. See Dale's
List for more information. (7/16/2012)
[Update:
2011 09 19 Alzheimer's disease and therefore CBS-AD may be
caused by spirochete bacterial infection. See The Role of Infection and
Inflammation in Neurodegenerative Diseases for more
information on this topic, and more importantly, what you can
do about it with
natural and pharmaceutical antibiotics.]

names of some supplements are provided are provided only as a
reference, and does not constitute an endorsement of any
particular product.
We are constantly looking for new things to try.
Therefore, the "protocol" gets modified. I have recently
cut back the number of different supplements because there were
so many and my father was having trouble getting my mother to
take them all.
Here are the various "cocktails" and the list of supplements
used now or in previous protocols:
Gerbil-food
Cocktail (Souvenaide)
ATP Cocktail (Sinatra Solution):
Indian Anti-oxidant
Cocktail:
Multifunctional
Cocktail:
B-Vitamin
Trio
vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl) -
20mg / day
vitamin B9 (folate or folic acid) - 0.8mg (= 800
mcg.) / day
vitamin B12
(cyanocobalamin) - 0.5mg (= 500
mcg.) / day
Target:
???
Cinnamon:
1000mg
three times per day, for the first 6 weeks, then at least twice
per day thereafter for maintenance. Whole
Ceylon cinnamon has been
shown to be an antibiotic, and
may inhibit certain strains of spirochete
bacteria. Cinnamon in capsules
form prevents the degradation of the
cinnamon by saliva. However, if exposure to
spirochete bacteria in the
mouth is required, then capsules
will not be effective for this purpose.
Target: Inhibition of tau protein aggregations,
disassemble
aggregations that have already formed; improve
glucose metabolism;
lower blood cholesterol levels. May also inhibit neurospirochetosis
and H.pylori infection.
Curcumin:
300-500mg 2 to 3 times per
day, at least 8 hours apart, if
possible. (~12mg/lb of
body weight)
Target:
Amyloid beta plaques, "oxidative stress" from iron and
copper, and possibly promoting neurogenesis.
At this dosage level,
it may also "normalize" blood pressure
for those with high blood
pressure.
Curcumin w/piperine
330mg/3.5mg
Source Naturals
Piperine/Bioperine:Prevents the liver from metabolizing curcumin
(and other substances)
increasing bioavailability of
the curcumin. It may interfere with
other medications and
supplements, and should be used with care.
MCT/Coconut Oil:
Ideally, the dosage should be determined by testing the levels
of
"ketone bodies" in the
blood. However, 1 to 3 tablespoons of a 1:1
or 4:3 MCT oil/coconut oil
mixture 3 times per day, evenly spaced apart
in time, 8 hours apart, or as close to
that timing as practical. The
more active a person is, the more they
probably need. Apple sauce or
refrigerated "pudding cups" work well
when mixed with a small wisk.
Start out with a small amount
and work up to a level that is effective,
but not excessive.
Target: "Chronic brain starvation" or
"type 3 diabetes". Provides
neurons with alternative to glucose
for a source of energy.
See also Coconut
Oil Recipes
Apple Juice:
2 cups per day.
May have a similar effect on
amyloid beta plaques as curcumin (and Aricept?).
Magnesium Orotate: [quantity?]
Magnesium is part of the Sinatra
Solution adaptation for
neurodegenerative diseases.
Target: Assist mitochondria with ATP production
-also-
The orotate part is said to be
metabolized into uridine, which is
part of the Gerbil Food
cocktail for memory enhancement [Need to check this!]
CoQ10:
100 mg 2x per day
Part of the Sinatra Solution
Target: Assist mitochondria
with ATP production
Acetyl-L Carnitine:Part of the Sinatra
Solution
Target: Assist mitochondria
with ATP production
Lecithin:
Granules. 1 Tbsp, 2x per
day in food
Part of the Gerbil Food
cocktail for memory enhancement
Lecithin provides choline.
It is found in eggs, or can be obtained as a
supplement, usually derived from soybeans.
DHA:
From fish oil [quantity? 1 tsp liquid
1x per day]
Part of the Gerbil Food
cocktail for memory enhancement
Resveratrol:
Target: General health
Garlic:
Target: General health
Grape Seed Extract: Target: Inhibition of tau protein
aggregations, disassemble
aggregations that have already formed.
Niacinamide:
500mg, 3 times per day
Target: Inhibition of tau protein aggregations,
disassemble
aggregations that have already formed.
Lithium:???
60mg lithium orotate per day (1/2 of a 120mg tablet)
[???? not sure about this
one. Not using it at this time.
In clinical trials using lithium to treat PSP, the study
participants dropped out due to side effects]
Target: Prevent tau
protein corruption, promoting neurogenesis.
Methylene Blue:??? 1/2
cup of methylene blue solution, 2 times per day. One (1)
drop of 2.303%
methylene blue solution, measured
with a
medicine dropper, added to two cups of the cinnamon tea (or
other liquid). Adjust the concentration as necessary to
maintain this ratio.
Target: Inhibition of tau protein
aggregations, disassemble
aggregations that have already formed May also inhibit H.pylori
infection. Even extremely low concentration
doses may improve
mitochondrial function and prevent neuronal senescence.
Alpha-lipoic Acid 600mg per
day (in 3 doses?)
Target: Slow the progression of
Alzheimer's disease
Creatine:
Pyruvate:
***********
What we need is for people to try things and then report back
their experiences. Give it a month. You may be
astounded by the results. You may find something or some
combination that works better. These things have worked so
well for us that I just hope others will at least give some of them a try.
If you don't try, there is no way in the world you will succeed.
Do not dismiss the medicinal qualities of foods. Many of
our drugs and medicines come from or originated in plants.
Aspirin, codeine, cocaine, nicotine, cannabis, alcohol, opium,
digitalis, LSD and on and on and on all come from plants.
Plants are the original source materials for as many as
40% of the pharmaceuticals in use in the United States today.
This is to say that either the drugs currently contain
plant-derived materials, or synthesized materials from agents
originally derived from plants. Some medicines, such as the
cancer drug Taxol (from Taxus brevifolia) and the
anti-malarial quinine from Cinchona pubescens and are
manufactured from plants. Other medicinal agents such as
pseudoephedrine originally derived from ephedra species, and
menthol and methylsalicylate, originally derived from from
mentha species and wintergreen (gaultheria procumbens)
respectively, are now synthesized.

Used for good or for bad, there are chemicals from plants and
animals that can
exert a powerful effect
on the human body.
