Alzheimer’s Epidemic: Lifestyle Habits That Lead to Dementia
The Dr. Hyman Show
Exploring Phosphatidylcholine for Brain Health and Alzheimer's Treatment
Phosphatidylcholine (PC) plays a significant role in brain health and the treatment of Alzheimer's disease by contributing to acetylcholine levels, the most abundant neurotransmitter in the brain. Both intravenous (IV) and oral administration of PC can assist in detoxification processes such as bile discharge from the gallbladder. Choline, found in dietary sources like eggs and various nootropic formulas, also supports cognitive functions. For optimal results, higher dosages of PC, such as 20 grams over ten weeks via IV, have shown marked improvements in cognitive performance and overall well-being. The rapid advancements in medicine highlight the need for more research funding for treatments like IV phosphatidylcholine to further explore their benefits in dementia. Additionally, addressing factors such as mold exposure and heavy metal toxicity can aid in cognitive health, as seen in cases where treating underlying infections, like Lyme disease, resulted in cognitive improvement.
