Welcome to the AlzheimerSupport.com Website!
ProHealth’s AlzheimerSupport.com is your home for Alzheimers news, support, and comprehensive nutritional solutions. We attract over 5 million visitors a year because we are a patient owned company that understands your needs, and our goal is to empower you to take control of your health.
Patient Owned
The ProHealth story begins back in August 1981, when at the age of 23, Rich Carson woke up one day with severe flu-like symptoms. Rich saw a specialist who ran tests for strep throat and mononucleosis, but the results for both tests were negative. Sometime later, while still feeling extremely ill, Rich spoke with an internist who informed him that he may be suffering from either a chronic cytomegalovirus or a chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection. Pointed in the right direction, Rich telephoned every researcher he could find to investigate his illness, which has since come to be known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
By 1986, Rich was spending two or three hours a day on the telephone with CFS patients and researchers, and started one of the first and largest CFS support groups in the country. Rich’s determination to help CFS patients soon lead to the creation of ProHealth, Inc. Founded in 1988, the company’s mission is to provide a comprehensive resource for people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia.
An important part of Rich’s treatment plan includes alternative therapies that greatly relieve many of his symptoms. The Health Resource Catalog was published to share with other patients the supplements he found to be most effective. Additionally, Rich realized the Internet is a great way to spread useful, up-to-the-minute information to the many thousands of CFS and FM sufferers worldwide, and so ImmuneSupport.com was created.
Commerce with Compassion
ProHealth knows that research is the key to finding cures for CFS and FM, and it is our mission to help fund important research studies. Since 1988, ProHealth has raised and donated over $2.3 million to organizations dedicated to researching CFS and FM and finding effective treatments. We have proudly made contributions to Action for ME, the CFIDS Association of America, Inc., the National Fibromyalgia Association (NFA), and the National Fibromyalgia Research Association, to name a few. When you shop with ProHealth you support research, since a portion of the profits from each purchase you make goes toward funding CFS and FM research and advocacy.
“This is not a commercial venture that will contribute to personal wealth, but a way to support those who have this terrible illness. It exists for the benefit of patients, with more than half of our profits dedicated to research and advocacy, a track record I believe is unsurpassed in private industry.” – Rich Carson

Ginkgo Proven to be an Effective Alzheimer's Treatment
Researchers investigated Alzheimer's treatment drugs to test their efficacy opposed to treatment with Ginkgo extract. Study results show that there is not a significant difference between receiving treatment using a drug or treatment using Ginkgo extract. Researchers concluded by noting that Ginkgo extract should be considered equally effective in the treatment of mild to moderate Alzheimer's dementia.
Effective Alzheimer's Treatment with Minimal Side-Effects
The benefits of taking acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors for Alzheimer's disease is well known and clinically proven. Huperzine A is a drug free AChE inhibitor. AChE inhibitors have the potential to delay the decline in cognitive and mental functions in Alzheimer patients. The multiple benefits Alzheimer patients experience as a result of including AChE inhibitors in their treatment program make them an excellent Alzheimer's treatment.
Future Alzheimer's Treatment: Nueral Stem Cells
All cells start out as stem cells and go on to become specialized cells, this new method is revolutionary since it is able to direct stem cells to become specific types of cells in order to replace diseased cells. The transplantation of CNS stem cells to replace damaged or diseased nerve tissue and restore neural function is widely regarded as a promising new approach to Alzheimer’s disease treatment.
New Treatment Could Help Prevent Alzheimer's
Researchers have succeeded for the first time in designing a chemical that can stop the chain reaction that leads to Alzheimer's disease. This treatment differs from other Alzheimer's research because it prevents the beginnings of the disease rather than treating the symptoms or coping with the damaged cells.
Huperzine A: Potential Therapeutic Agent for Alzheimer’s Disease
Huperzine A has been proven to have a powerful and lasting effect on the brain while keeping side effects to a minimum. In addition, recent news reports Huperzine A can lower neuronal cell death attributed to glutamate. The multiple benefits of Huperzine A (and minimal side-effects) make it a promising Alzheimer’s treatment.

The changes provide new safety information regarding the results of two randomized, placebo-controlled trials of 2 years duration in subjects with mild cognitive impairment(MCI).
02/24/05 Quetiapine speeds up rate of decline in Alzheimers?
Quetiapine, a drug commonly used in nursing homes to treat agitation and related symptoms in people with Alzheimers' disease actually worsens patients' illness, speeding up their rate of decline significantly, says a paper published on bmj.com.
