Test for Alzheimer

"New Gene Test Offers Hope
 for Early Alzheimer's Prevention..."

...The ApoE Genome accurately Reveals A Genetic Predisposition to Alzheimer's Disease and Atherosclerosis and that's a way to test for Alzheimer. 

The Natural Plant Extract that Can Help Fight Glaucoma, Alzheimer's and Psoriasis 
 
 Coleous Forskohlli is a plant which grows in the wild in India, Nepal and Thailand. Recent  studies indicate this plant - a relative to the Mint family - could be of benefit to  sufferers of Glaucoma, Alzheimer's and Psoriasis.

Coleus Forskohlli Medicine

According to ancient texts, the plant coleus forskohlli was  used in medicine to treat heart and lung diseases, intestinal spasms, insomnia and  convulsions.

Recent studies are showing that extracts of the plant can be used to treat such diverse conditions as Glaucoma, Alzheimer's and Psoriasis.

Forskolin, a chemical found in coleus, activates the enzyme adenylate cyclase. This enzyme  is a turnkey compound that initiates a cascade of critical events within every cell of the  body.

Second Messenger System

Adenylate cyclase and the chemicals it activates comprise a "second messenger" system  that is responsible for carrying out the complex and powerful effects of hormones in the  body.

Stimulation of the second messenger system by forskolin leads to blood vessel dilation, inhibition of allergic reactions, and an increase in thyroid hormone secretion. 

Forskolin has other properties as well, including inhibition of the pro-inflammatory  substance known as platelet-activating factor (PAF) and inhibition of the spread of cancer  cells.

Test for Alzheimer

Other studies in healthy humans, including at least one double-blind trial, have shown that  direct application of an ophthalmic preparation of forskolin to the eyes lowers eye pressure, thus reducing the risk of glaucoma.

Forskolin may help dilate blood vessels and improve the forcefulness with which the heart  pumps blood. A preliminary trial found that forskolin reduced blood pressure and improved heart function in people with cardiomyopathy.

It is unknown if oral coleus extracts would  have the same effect. A small double-blind trial found that inhaled forskolin could decrease lung spasms in asthmatics.

Lower the Risks

"It has the potential to reverse symptoms of weight gain, help ease indigestion, lower the risk of developing conditions such as stokes, heart disease and thrombosis and fight  Alzheimer's and psoriasis" announced Keith Woolley, Technical Director of Boots Herbal  Stores, after interpreting the studies.

"This important remedy should not be overlooked and we are pleased to be able to bring more information on the remedy to the market place."  Perhaps it will lead to finding a cause of Alzheimer's.

Are there any side effects or interactions? Few adverse effects of coleus have been  reported. It should be avoided in people with ulcers, because it may increase stomach acid  levels.

Direct application to the eyes may cause transitory tearing, burning, and itching.  The safety of coleus in pregnancy and breast-feeding is unknown.
