From Bedside to Bench to Bedside
Brain Project Summary
Biology of Brain Aging and Applied Preventative Clinical Practice: Individualized Mechanistic Medicine and it's Measurement
Established Alzheimer’s disease cannot be cured
It is biologically and pharmacologically implausible
Genes vs their "workhorses, proteins
The scientific basis for the molecular biology of brain aging has been clearly defined
Lifestyle, Nutrition and Exercise
Factors involved requiring interventions with multiple physiologic / pharmacologicactions including lifestyle, nutrition and exercise.
Supplements, Medical Foods and Drugs
The FDA has classified /defined three categories of preventative/therapeutic agents:supplements; medical foods; drugs
Oral Cognitive Enhancers (OCE)
Functional medical foods for promotion of brain health.
CogniFemme, CogniHomme and CogniTrans
Formulation of CogniFemme ( women ); CogniHomme (men) CogniTrans (gender neutral)
Comparing Proven Biomarkers
Monitoring efficacy by blood biomarkers as surrogate measures of brain health and function. Comparing proven biomarkers with less expensive tests: CogniAchE (surrogate for beta amyloid/tau protein brain accumulation ); CogniReserve (BDNF/AchE ratio) a measure of cognitive reserve AND brain health.
Societal need and commercial opportunity
Currently there are a plethora of poorly researched brain health supplements but NO medical foods that replicate that of CF/CH/CT and theirproposed biomarkers, which are essential for long term compliance and when indicate, dosage adjustment.
Patents
Mechanistic Medicine : Maintaining the Physiology of Brain Aging by Modulation of the checks and balances of the multiple signaling pathways needed to prevent the age related changes associated with cognitive decline and Alzheimer's Disease.
Formulations comprising botanicals and natural compounds for the promotion of healthy brain aging in adults
Prevention of age associated neurodegenerative changes resulting in cognitive, memory and executive dysfunction including modulation of the age related predisposition to mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, hormonal and other dementia related conditions
Research
The Brain Health Project and it’s Patents were conceptualized by applying the same physiological and biological principles to numerous aspects of women’s health and where relevant by collaboration with basic scientists, the molecular basis for the clinical presentation and applied preventative practice : bedside to bench to bedside.
