Evolution, sources and functions of antioxidant systems -- Oxidative stress and inflammation : their reduction by micronutrients -- Etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) : prevention and improved management by micronutrients -- Etiology of Parkinson disease : prevention and improved management by micronutrients -- Huntington's disease : prevention and improved management by micronutrients -- Etiology of post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSDs) : prevention and improved management by micronutrients -- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) : improved management by micronutrients -- Concussive brain injuries : prevention and improved management by micronutrients -- Cerebrovascular insufficiency : improved management by micronutrients -- Recommended daily allowances (RDA)/dietary reference intakes (DRI)/ tolerable upper intake level (UL) of selected micronutrients
Summary
The book proposes that a preparation of antioxidants and micronutrients, in combination with standard therapy, may reduce progression and improve management better than standard therapy alone for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease, as well as PTSD, traumatic brain injury, concussions, and cerebral vascular insufficiency. The book presents the latest research on the effects of micronutrients and recommends formulations for use in combination with standard therapies for these neurodegenerative diseases and conditions
