Brain toxins are expected to be cleared! A 7-year-old man gets 6 injections to help put the brakes on dementia

The elder was diagnosed with mild dementia and severe protein accumulation, which was almost completely eliminated after 6 targeted injections. Yang Junming, director of the Department of Neurology at Chi Mei Hospital, pointed out that improved imaging does not mean recovery and still requires rigorous evaluation.

The brain that is full of disease-causing proteins that cause dementia can also be cleared with self-paid targeted injections. A 78-year-old man often forgets things and is confused about time due to Alzheimer's disease. The amyloid index in his brain once soared to 81.2. After anti-amyloid targeted treatment, the index dropped significantly to 4.7. The image was successfully "negative", slowing down the deterioration and regaining life.

Yang Junming, director of the Department of Neurology at Chi Mei Hospital, pointed out that the elder suffered from memory loss and social isolation when he went to the hospital in March last year, and was diagnosed with mild dementia. After taking oral medication for a year, a checkup in April this year revealed a large amount of protein accumulation. After evaluation, the family received targeted therapy at their own expense. After 6 intravenous injections, they were checked again in September this year and nearly all the deposits were removed. Yang Junming reminded that improved imaging does not mean cure of dementia, and targeted therapy must still undergo rigorous evaluation and safety monitoring by physicians.

Yang Junming said that according to a survey by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the prevalence of dementia among people over 65 years old in Taiwan is nearly 8%. It is estimated that there are about 400,000 patients in Taiwan, and more than 64% of them are mild or very mild. If detected early, there is still a golden opportunity to delay the deterioration. Research in authoritative international medical journals also shows that up to 45% of the causes of dementia are related to acquired modifiable factors. Even if you have a high-risk gene, it does not mean you are destined to develop the disease. People do not need to panic excessively. Actively controlling acquired risks is the key.

In daily life, if family members repeatedly ask questions, often get lost in familiar directions, have a irritable personality, or are socially withdrawn, they should be alert to the fact that it is not simply aging. Yang Junming recommends mastering the five brain-protecting principles of "use your brain more, exercise more, eat a balanced diet, socialize more, and control the three highs". Do regular activities and control chronic diseases. If abnormalities occur, seek medical treatment at a neurology department as soon as possible for evaluation. A two-pronged approach to protect brain health.
