What is Dementia with lewy bodies? This
is an illness very similar to Alzheimer's disease, there are almost 2
million people in the United States who suffer from the disease. In
this post we will try to explain exactly how this illness effects the
brain. Most people are familiar with how an Alzheimer patient may
lose memory but not as many are aware of what dementia with lewy
bodies is and how it effects the brain.
Protein on the brain
Lewy bodies are actually a buildup of
a protein called alphasynuclein, though the reason that these protein
aggregations form in some brain cells. What most people are not aware
of is that these proteins cannot be observed by the naked eye, it is
not only until a person has passed away that an autopsy can reveal
these proteins under a microscope. Alphasynuclein protein build up
in the brain can have some very horrible consequences on the patient,
the illness is strongly associated with the tremors and difficult
muscle movements with Parkinson’s disease. Dementia with Lewy
bodies can be explained non-medically as a common memory loss illness
with a brain build up of a protein which effects body movement (It
should be noted that this illness can cause delusions and
hallucinations but we will explore this in a later post).
What to do
The brain has an incredible ability to
heal when it is put in the correct healing environment, meditation
studies have shown that the brain can indeed heal even in situations
where medications have been of little help. Lewybody dementias are
associated with reductions in important brain chemicals called
neurotransmitters, including dopamine and acetylcholine, medications
have failed to address this but natural therapies has helped.
Unfortunately natural therapies which have been shown to address the
brain chemical imbalances from dementias do not receive funding, we
are forced to rely on big pharma and their quest for a billion dollar
profit drug. It important to explore all healing options when seeking
to reversed dementias, never give up or wait on big pharma
medications. Medications should be just one tool in fighting Dementia
with lewy bodies.
Quality of life can improve and memory
can be restored even in advanced cases, waiting and doing nothing
allows the brain plaques to accumulate and the Tau Tangles to
increase, dealing with brain diseases must mean fighting back. The
brain is begging for activation even in the most advance cases of
Alzheimer’s disease, many meditations have proven this.
An understanding of what dementia with
lewy bodies really is has shown us that much can be achieved without
the use of pharmaceutical drugs; we have demonstrated this in over 10
countries.
