I'm wondering if anyone has ever had their doctor discuss this with them - or heard about it from another source. There are now prescription only medicinal foods (in powder to shake form) that help with the dietary needs if of people with early and moderate stage Alzheimers.
I'm a believer in supplements, so I'm biased, but I'm happy to see the medical profession looking at this. I'd like to read some labels and see if they are as good as some sources I've found (nanotechnology). Absorbability is essential, and aging bodies don't always absorb nutrients well. You can give high doses, but if they are not absorbed they won't help.
Anyway, this is good news, Cat. Keep us posted on any more that you hear.

Souvenaid is a medical food in clinical trials.
I'm very interested in nutrition and like Beaone learned about food interactions and Coumadin (Warfarin) therapy when my mom was put on anticoag therapy. There are charts online and even recipes if you are shopping and cooking for a coumadin user. Beaone & Carol's advice is very important and potentially lifesaving.
Interestly enough - antibiotics can also affect PT/INR levels of coumadin users - so a UTI or other infection means you have to test more frequently and adjust diet to compensate.
