The third method I researched was the use of hydromethylthionine to cure AD. Hydromethylthionine is a drug that is prescribed in a tablet form and has been previously recognized to have improved cognitive decline and brain atrophy. Hydromethylthionine blocks an overactive tau protein in the brain that is known to cause dementia. "In addition to the reduction in brain atrophy, we were surprised to see the large cognitive effects of treatment in the patient group with the higher blood levels of hydromethylthionine at the 8 mg daily dose," he added. "According to scores from the ADAS-cog scale, the effect was around 7.5 points, or three times that seen from current routine Alzheimer's treatments, and would be equivalent to an 85% reduction in cognitive decline over 65 weeks." said Professor George Perry, Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. Similar to the two other methods, more research needs to be conducted for this to be a viable option for treatment.
