Adamantan
|
|
Short description
| Amantadine is a synthetic (man-made) anti-viral drug that can inhibit the replication of viruses in cells. To prevent a viral infection, the drug should be present before exposure to the virus. Clearly, this is not practical for most viral infections. It was initially used to prevent influenza A during flu season, and, if given within 24 to 48 hours of the onset of flu symptoms, to decrease the severity of the flu. Later amantadine was found to cause improvement in the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. |

|
|
Short description
Protects
against aging of the brain, enhances
mental function. A powerful
remedy against Parkinson's disease,
Selegiline is effective also as
an antidepressant and as a protector
against Alzheimer's disease. Professor
Knoll, who developed Selegiline
is convinced of its anti-aging
effect and recommends for this
a dose 5 mg per week (in two doses
of 2.5 mg each).
Packing: Box of 30 tablets,
5 mg, 10 mg
Dosage: In all cases, consult
your physician!
Anti-aging and prophylactic

Total 5 mg per week in two doses
(2.5 mg each)
Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
disease dosage:10-20 mg daily

Folic Acid(folate)
|
|
Short description
| Folate is an essential vitamin that is also known as folic acid and folacin. The synthetic form of the vitamin (folic acid), pteroylglutamic acid, is seldom found naturally in food. The folates found in nature contain the core chemical structure of pteroylglutamic acid but vary in their state of reduction, the single carbon moiety they bear and/or the length of the glutamate chain attached. At least 50% of whole body folate is stored in the liver.
The metabolic role of folate is as an acceptor and donor of one-carbon units in a variety of reactions involved in amino acid and nucleotide metabolism. The carbon can be carried as a methyl, methylene, formyl, formimino or methenyl group. The coenzyme form of the vitamin is typically fully reduced and poly-glutamylated. In the adult, folate is absorbed primarily in the proximal one-third of the small intestine. It is also conceivable that a portion of the large depot of bacterially synthesized folate in the large intestine may be absorbed. A large portion of folate delivered to the liver is secreted into bile and redistributed to peripheral tissues. Polyglutamylation (addition of glutamic acids) of folate is believed necessary to concentrate and store folates in tissues. |

Madopar
|
|
Short description
| Levodopa is a combination of two drugs, levodopa and carbidopa. Levodopa-carbidopa is used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's disease is believed to be related to low levels of dopamine in certain parts of the brain. When levodopa is taken orally, it crosses through the "blood- brain barrier." Once it crosses, it is converted to dopamine. The resulting increase in brain dopamine concentrations is believed to improve nerve conduction and assist the movement disorders in Parkinson disease. |

NADH 5 mg Vitamin B-Complex
|
|
Short description
NADH
(Q-1) is one of the most powerful
anti-oxidants: it has
the highest reduction potential
of any compound found in the body's
cells. The more NADH you have
in your body the better the DNA
repair system functions. NADH
may retard cell death and tissue
degeneration. It can give up to
a six-fold production of dopamine,
so it is potentially a remedy
against Parkinson's disease. NADH
has been shown to be effective
against Alzheimer's disease and
dementia. 1 capsule contains 5.0
mg NADH, 2.0 mg Vitamin B6, 1.6
mg Vitamin B2, 1.4 mg Vitamin
B1, 1.0 mcg Vitamin B12.
Packing: 32 capsules
Dosage: 1-2 capsules, taken
once a day
Monthly supply: 1-2 packs

Sinemet
|
|
Short description
| Sinemet CR is a controlled-release tablet that may be given to help relieve the muscle stiffness, tremor, and weakness caused by Parkinson's disease. It may also be given to relieve Parkinson-like symptoms caused by encephalitis (brain fever), carbon monoxide poisoning, or manganese poisoning. Sinemet CR contains two drugs, carbidopa and levodopa. The drug that actually produces the anti-Parkinson's effect is levodopa. Carbidopa prevents vitamin B6 from destroying levodopa, thus allowing levodopa to work more efficiently. Parkinson's drugs such as Sinemet CR relieve the symptoms of the disease, but are not a permanent cure. |
