U.S. researchers say the treatment allowed an 82-year- old sufferer to recognise his wife for the first time in years.The treatment involves injecting a drug called Enbrel – which is normally used to treat arthritis – into the spine at the neck.Patients are then tilted to encourage blood flow into the brain where the drug is designed to block a chemical responsible for inflammation. At least one Alzheimer’s patient had his symptoms reversed “in minutes” while others have shown some continuing improvement in problems such as forgetfulness and confusion after weekly injections. In one case, the clinic has video evidence of Marvin Miller, 82, which showed he was unable to answer basic questions by a nurse, or identify-everyday objects like a bracelet and a pencil. Shortly afterwards he is injected with the drug and it is claimed that five minutes later he could greet his shocked wife, who said he had not recognized her for years. Wow talk about a breakthrough in science! More Here..
