The Alzheimer’s disease (cerebral arteriosclerosis) is a progressive and degenerative disease of the brain, which nowadays compromises the 10% of the people older than 65 years; it causes memory lost and damage of the thought and behavior. It can start with an insignificant lost of memory and confusion, but possibly it’s directed to the serious: the irreversible mental damage, which destroys the skill of a person to remember, to reason, to learn, and to imagine. The patient suffers a drastic change in its personality and tends to be depressed or irritated; the patient presents changes in his judgments, confuses his beloved and, in many cases, the patient comes up even to be unaware of himself. The person can’t follow instructions, suffers confusion, disorientation in the time, and can even reach to get lost in known places. This condition doesn’t form part of the normal ageing, and it’s much less frequent of what you imagine. Still there isn’t any cure for Alzheimer’s disease (cerebral arteriosclerosis), so we can’t forget that prevention and detection on time can help us to live better. The disease can have a middle duration approximate of 10 – 12 years, although this can vary a lot from a patient to another.
The causes of Alzheimer’s disease (cerebral arteriosclerosis) are complex; the bad processing of some cerebral proteins, the failures in the systems of neurotransmisors, the effect of free radicals on the neurons, the excess of intracellular calcium, etc. Another important cause is the advanced age, generally it happens after 60 years; another is by family heredity from parents to their children.
It begins in the first stage in insidious way, generally with failures in the recent memory by the compromise of the hippocampus. In this stage they also appear the first mistakes of judgment and conflicts between people, between the families, because without a diagnosis of Alzheimer, it’s criticized the patient for being careless, for committing mistakes that damage him or his family, for being unable to fulfill his duties. The geriatrician in this stage can’t diagnose with certainty, and many times families are going from a physician to another, searching a security or a solution that many times doesn’t exist.
In the second stage the compromise of the cortex determines to appear disorders of the language (difficulty to understand complex text, to evoke words, distortions of the words) and lost of skills. These include lost of the orientation in the space, disorders of calculation, motor clumsiness, even they lose the capacity to get dressed or washed without help. Besides it can be added pictures of depression (also in the first stage) and delirious ideas of harms or jealousy. Gradually it goes losing the agility and the control of the sphincters, until that in the third stage the patient remains prostrate in bed. There it’s necessary to feed and clean him as he was an unweaned baby. Finally the patient dies for complications.
It can also occur in presence of acetylcholinesterase, which reduces the acetylcholine, generating the memory lost. A favorable chemical composition for cerebral activity and for the consolidation of the memories during the deep sleep occurs in presence of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in low percentages. The acetylcholine is an essential neurotransmitter for the cerebral functioning, widely distributed in the central nervous and peripheral systems; these neurotransmitters are secreted by neurons, and they serve to transmit the messages and the information from a neuron to another. But in presence of some quantity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, the acetylcholine is degraded or is decomposed; causing losts of memories (type Alzheimer). The SALVADOR Candy, that in its composition has the sage, has the power to inhibit the enzyme ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE, avoiding the decomposition of the acetylcholine, producing like this an improvement of the memory. The Alzheimer is associated to a reduction of acetylcholine, where are used drugs that inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase bringing secondary effects to the patients; on the other hand, the sage doesn’t cause collateral effects.

A) SYMPTOMS:
The most common symptoms of the disease are alterations in the mood and behavior, memory lost, difficulties in orientation, language problems, and cognitive alterations. The memory lost comes up until the no recognition of familiars or the oblivion of normal skills for the individual. Other symptoms are changes in the behavior such as outbursts of violence in people who don’t have a case history of these characteristics. In the final stages the musculature and the mobility are damaged, being able to present incontinence of the sphincters (urinary and/or fecal incontinences).
From the approach of the Neuropsychology, the neuropsychological alterations in Alzheimer’s disease are:

1. Memory: Damage in the recent, remote, immediate, verbal, visual, episodic, and semantic memory.
2. Aphasia: Damage in the functions of understanding, denomination, fluency, and lecto-writing.
3. Apraxia: It’s of constructive type, apraxia of getting dressed, ideomotor, and ideational apraxia.
4. Agnosia: Perceptive and space agnosia.

Not all the symptoms are given from the beginning but they go appearing accordingly the disease advances.

B)  DIAGNOSIS:
The Alzheimer at the present time can’t be diagnosed in a conclusive way but it does with a certainty of 80%. The diagnosis is based first on history, the clinical observance, in memory tests, and intellectual functioning, in blood analyses and cerebral scanning (signs of dementia). Nowadays there are new techniques of diagnosis based on the processing of electroencephalographic signs.

C)  TREATMENT OF THE ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE:
The geriatricians give a treatment with drugs, with a relative effectiveness, helping in a percentage of the cases and postponing a more serious invalidity. Next to that, it’s important that the patient is stimulated, also to have mental and physical activities in agreement to the state of the patient (avoiding accidents). Finally, the family must learn to look after the sick, they must know the risks that involve the dementias and how avoid them; they must learn to realize of his own surcharge and stress. Many times we don’t achieve to stop the disease, but if the family learns to coexist with it without losing the life quality, the situation becomes more bearable.

A natural treatment for Alzheimer’s disease that can relieve the mental problems of the Alzheimer’s patients (not to heal), is through a therapy of improvement of the cerebral circulation, fighting against the presence of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase that causes memory lost. You can realize this therapy during 3 months and between foods; that’s to say at 10 in the morning, 4 in the afternoon and before sleeping, 2 SALVADOR Candies. Then, we must consume 12 bags of candies during 3 months
