“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”
Dimebon has been hailed as a revolutionary drug to retard progression and improve Alzheimer’s symptoms.
Phizer Pharmacueticals has funded the phase 3 trial to prove Dimebon’s efficacy in humans, that is does it work!
The results of their latest trials were declared March 3rd:
“Dimebon shows NO EFFECT in treating Alzheimer’s”
In the past 10 years, 20.2 billion dollars has been spent on 6 major drugs thought to be an answer or partial one to the Alzheimer’s epidemic now effecting 5.6 million in the U.S. with 40% of Babyboomers anticipated to become a statistic of the disease.
Dr. Vincent M. Fortanasce, author of “The Anti Alzheimer’s Prescription”, while strongly supporting the billions spent on research to find a cure says:
“Would it not be wise to put some funds for research into “Preventative measures, while we pursue the elusive cure”. He is currently researching the effectiveness of a special exercise regimen that stimulates a hormone IGF-1 that effect a brain derived hormone that turns on 3 genes; One that causes cytoskeletal growth or muscle mass and bone density. The second and third genes increase the production of neurogenesis and neuroplasticity (new brain cells and dendrites, the roots from a cell). Thus, it is believed that this program might slowdown or reverse the normal degeneration of the brain that can rapidly progress from 50 years old and on. The exercise can be done at home without the need of equipment and even in front of your television or desk, says Dr. Fortanasce.
The cost of such prevention may be an ounce of sweat versus the estimated $2400 dollars per pound that people spend on anti-Alzheimer’s medications on the market.
It is time for a reality check, why ignore the preventative research when we know it works.

“At present, Preventative measures are our only weapon against this disease”, says Dr. William Sears author of the new book “Prime Time”.
