Estrogen was found to be an important cause of degenerative bone disease, as well as kidney disease, liver disease, thyroid disease, etc 1 0 2Good health practices can prevent inflammatory and degenerative diseases and often make it possible for damaged tissues to recover, even in old age 1 0 1Progesterone and pregnenolone, by reducing the stress reactions, should be helpful in the eye diseases of infancy and old age, as they are in the respiratory distress syndromes 1 0 1Factors known to reduce brain size at birth are also involved in the degenerating brain in old age or Alzheimer's disease 1 0 2Alzheimer's disease is analogous to the situation confronted by the developing chicken embryo or the rat or human fetus, when the environment is unable to meet the needs of highly energetic, demanding and sensitive brain cells 1 0 2The structure of the brain goes into an "entropic" deterioration during the process of aging 1 0 2Degenerative aging seems to be produced situationally, by various types of contamination of our energy supply 1 0 2Structural similarities seen in senile dementia have caused the term Alzheimer's disease to lose its original meaning 1 0 1Alzheimer-type dementia is different from other dementias, but it overlaps with them, and with age-related and stress-related changes in other organs 1 0 2The mitochondrial energy problem, cytochrome oxidase and its regulation; body temperature/pulse-rate cycle disturbance; lipid peroxidation; respiratory defect; altered amino acid uptake; memory impairment; dominance of the excitatory systems vs. the inhibitory adenosine/GABA/progesterone/pregnenolone system are functional and biochemical observations of Alzheimer's disease 1 0 1
