The rapid increase in the elderly population has led to the widespread emergence of many less common diseases. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disease in which various mental functions such as memory, speech, orientation, recognition of people, problem solving and other practices that are performed many times in daily life weaken over time, the ability to perform daily tasks decreases and behavioral disorders can be seen. First described by German physician Alois Alzheimer in 1907, Alzheimer's disease is popularly known as "dementia". The disease occurs when cells in some parts of the brain gradually disappear for unknown reasons. Thus, Alzheimer's disease is a disease characterized by nerve damage accompanied by neuropsychiatric symptoms and behavioral changes, characterized by a decrease in daily vital activities and deterioration in cognitive abilities and is the most common type of dementia. Alzheimer's disease is caused by the death of brain cells earlier than programmed in a way that has not yet been fully elucidated.

Antalya Alzheimer's TreatmentIn all people, brain cells decrease with age and cannot be renewed. In Alzheimer's disease, this process happens very quickly and early. With cell death, the brain begins to shrink and shrink. Unfortunately, no great progress has been made in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, the exact cause of which is unknown. The drugs commonly used in treatment today (choline esterase inhibitors etc.) can slow down the process in patients. In addition to these treatments, drugs to increase blood flow to the brain are also used. The fact that oxygen radicals and oxidative stress mediate the nerve cell destruction that occurs in Alzheimer's disease suggests that patients may also benefit from antioxidant vitamins (B, C, E). The fact that ozone therapy both increases cerebral blood flow and supports the body's defense systems against oxidative stress is a glimmer of hope.
