15.November is Alzheimer's(老年痴呆症)Awareness Month in the United States.Alzheimer's is a frightening disease,not only for those who suffer from memory loss,but also for their loved ones.But researchers in California say a new way of treating the disease is showing promise for reversing some of that memory loss.The new treatment combines western medicine with eastern philosophy-ideas rooted in Asian religions.Dr.Dale Bredesen is with the Easton Center for Alzheimer's Disease Research at UCLA.He says nine of ten patients suffering from Alzheimer's noted improvements in their memory.He says the traditional use of only one treatment just did not work with many patients.The new therapy(疗法)treats the whole patient,not just parts of the patient."They have either taken a single drug to try with Alzheimer's,which has been a failure repeatedly,or they have tried without any background,simply saying,‘Okay,try exercise,try changing your diet,'these sorts of things,and there has not been any way to understand how these things contribute to the disease."
According to Dr.Bredesen,there is a constant balance of the brain remembering and forgetting.Many things,including a person's lifestyle,can create an imbalance in brain activity,which can lead to memory loss.Dr.Bredesen creates an individualized treatment for each patient.He does this by taking images of their brain,testing their blood and asking many questions about their daily life.During the treatments,subjects were told to eat more fish,avoid carbohydrates and processed foods,and take vitamin B12,D3and fish oil.They also practiced yoga(瑜伽),sat quietly for 20minutes twice each day and slept more.
Dr.Bredesen describes this new therapy as combining western understanding of the human body with the eastern method of looking at the whole patient.For the nine patients whose memory improved,it usually happened within three to six months.The 10th patient was too far along in the disease for any improvement to be observed.
The UCLA center is now working with 30additional patients as it moves to expand its research.The researchers say they followed some patients up to two and a half years and the memory improvements remained.
