DISEASE CASE study 2

In our newsletters, we have published case studies from
physicians which show dramatic or unusual results.
The following is a case study that I personally
experienced.
My 82 year old neighbor had his 3rd heart attack
in December. This was accompanied by a bout of
pneumonia while in the hospital. In the last 4
years, he was also experiencing increasing problems
with Alzheimer's dementia and memory problems. Prior to
retiring, he had been a chef. His wife reported,
“Now he can’t even cook an egg.”
Upon returning home from the hospital, his confusion and
memory problems were even more pronounced. He
appeared to be in a chronic confusion state. His
wife reported he was not sleeping at night and would
wander the house for hours each night.
I started him on the level 1
5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa, and cysteine dosing. After one
week, his wife reported that he was now sleeping at
night, but there was no change in his confusion or
memory. So, after one week, I increased the
5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa, and cysteine dosing to level 2. One week later his wife
reported, “He is sleeping like a baby all night and
he is no longer talking about things that aren’t
there”. Memory was showing marginal signs of
improvement. At that point, I increased the
5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa, and cysteine dosing to level 3. One week later, when I saw
his wife, the first thing she said was, “He is back
with me.” His sleep was excellent, his speech was
fluent, and he had cooked breakfast for both of
them that morning for the first time in two years.
The wife reported that he was now participating in
conversations relating to things they had done years
earlier with no memory problems. They were working
around the house together once again doing projects.
The dramatic improvement surprised even me. In elderly
people with Alzheimer's dementia and decreased cognitive
function, an empirical trial of
5-HTP, tyrosine, levodopa, and cysteine may lead
to profound results.
