I recently viewed a video that an Alzheimer’s patient has made extraordinary improvements in his cognitive skills and gait. You can view the video on www.alzheimersgroup.org. I am posting information that I locate on the drug Etanercept:
Each of the three patients I saw treated had been tested and diagnosed with probable Alzheimer’s disease by a neurologist before perispinal etanercept treatment had begun. They and their families invited me to be present during the treatment and in the interviews before and after. I noticed clinical improvement in each of the three patients within minutes following treatment. My first impression was that there was a clear, easily discernible, difference in each. They were more cheerful, more at ease, and more attentive. My impressions were the same as those shared by each of the families (please see the movie for example). This rapid turn around brought to mind the first time, now almost two decades ago[17], that I was the original witness to the remarkable overexpression of immune cytokines in activated glia in Alzheimer patients and even in fetuses and neonates with Down’s syndrome – I was amazed!
