Promising Research: Natural Ways to Potentially Slow Dementia

New research suggests a surprising connection between hormones and dementia. The drug Lupron, used to suppress certain cancers, has shown potential in reducing dementia symptoms. Here's why:

  • The Hormone Connection: Lupron works by lowering luteinizing hormone (LH), which naturally increases with age. Alzheimer's patients often have unusually high LH.

  • Progesterone's Power: High LH can decrease progesterone, a crucial brain-protective hormone. Progesterone minimizes inflammation, supports neurons, and may even lessen brain injury severity.

  • Boosting Progesterone Naturally: Melatonin, exercise, DHEA, and pregnenolone may help suppress LH, indirectly raising progesterone.

  • More about Melatonin: To get a therapeutic melatonin dose, you may need a supplement. Natural ways to increase melatonin include low-light evenings, sunlight exposure, or even sitting by a campfire.
