Spirulina - Protection From Degenerative Brain Conditions September 15, 2011 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Greetings Friends of Bio-Alternatives,
Neurodegenerative diseases are one of the fastest growing areas of health concerns for today's health practitioners; for example, there are no known cures for Alzheimer's or senility, both of which are becoming prevalent as the world's population ages. Fortunately, Spirulina has shown great promise as potential aid in supporting cognitive health.
Dr. Paula Bickford of the University of South Florida is one of the most respected researchers on age-related neurological issues. She has held a variety of leadership positions in her field, and now serves as President of the American Society for Neural Therapy and Repair. Dr. Bickford had been responsible for a great deal of the research showing health benefits for blueberries, which subsequently led to a huge increase in blueberry consumption. But over the last few years, Dr. Bickford has turned her sights to Spirulina as a potent neuroprotective agent.
In a series of four rodent studies, Dr. Bickford found that Spirulina:

- Reduced brain damage from strokes by 70%
- Reduced degeneration of aging brains
- Enhanced dopamine neuron recovery
- Gives neuroprotective support for dying motor neurons
