Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease mainly causes gradual loss of mental faculties to interfere with the ability to perform daily activities. The most common of all dementias and one of the most social costs generated by medical and emotional .. In many countries like the United States is the leading cause of death.
Currently, treatments such treatment or prevention for use in Alzheimer's disease is limited and the best only slow the progress of the disease for about 40 weeks.
Recent research has discovered evidence of inflammation in the brains of Alzheimer's patients and unless the inflammation is present there is little evidence of neurodegeneration, even in patients with high deposition of amyloid B-peptide and tangles neurofibrillary tangles.
collected data on men and women suggest that the use of anti-inflammatory drugs nosteroidal is associated with reduction Alzheimer's disease which increases the importance of the ancient reports where Ganoderma was praised for its effect of increasing memory and preventing the lack of it in old age , reported in Shen Nong Bel Cao Jing vol. 1 from 456-536 AD in tests on mice using orally administered Ganoderma or topic and provides evidence that Ganoderma lucidum has anti-inflammatory activity.
This pharmacological activity may provide the basis for its activity in memory even if it is not certain yet that Ganoderma lucidum can enter the brain and exert anti-inflammatory activity. In cardiovascular research has shown that ingestion of aspirin may reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease. The possibility that this is an anti-inflammatory activity of aspirin can produce a benefit in reducing cardiovascular disease risk is suggested by the finding that higher levels of C-reactive protein in plasma that is a phasemarker Acute systemic inflammation is a predictor of increased risk of cardiovascular disease. These studies provide important evidence on inflammation and requires further study of Ganoderma lucidum and its possible role in mitigating these two devastating diseases.
In summary, of interest have been Recent reports of the United States that indicate a possible role for inflammation in the development of various diseases such as Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease . This research has the potential to link some of the historical uses of Ganoderma in promoting longevity with contemporary Western scientific theory. The links found are:
(1) Ganoderma is used to prevent memory loss in old age
(2) Ganoderma is anti-inflammatory,
(3) inflammation is involved in the development of disease Alzheimer
(4) Alzheimer's disease appears to be enhanced by the use of anti-inflammatory as our ganoderma lucidum.
