This week an article, ATTACKING ALZHEIMER'S, in FORBES Magazine may support Dr. Young's dietary and metabolic acid theory, as the cause of Alzheimer's dis-ease.
The article makes a statement that the release of amyloids in the brain may be an injury response by the vascular bundles to protect themselves against dietary or metabolic acids, like a scar, and are not directly related to the onset or severity of Alzheimer's dis-ease.
Dr. Robert O. Young has suggested that gene mutations are directly caused by excess dietary and metabolic acids. He has also suggested that arteries and veins are directly damaged by excess dietary and metabolic acids. Both the article's assertions,
(a) DNA damage to two proteins called presenilin, and
(b) amyloids actually being a response to injury that the brain secretes to protect itself, like a scar, would be directly preventable by normalizing the excess serum dietary and metabolic acids, coupled with a high chlorphyll-mediated revitalization of blood/sera genesis.
Dr. Young has also created a combination of mineral salts of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium bicarbonate to hyper-alkalinize the blood and tissues to reduce dietary and metabolic acids and to prevent Alzheimer's dis-ease.
According to the article, Attacking Alzheimer's, by Robert Langreth, "the drug industry has bet on one theory about the disease. What if that theory is wrong."
