Control systems are now clear enough to begin reversing degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's dementia, epileptic dementia, arthritis, osteoporosis, depression, hypertension, hardening of the heart and blood vessels, diabetes, some types of tumor, immunodeficiencies, reflex problems, and special atrophic problems 1 0 2Factors 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 2Exposure to estrogen in middle-age increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease in old age 1 0 2Even medical progestogens offer some protection against Alzheimer's disease 1 0 2Alzheimer-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 1Increased cortisol and DHEA are associated with Alzheimer's disease 1 0 1Abnormally phosphorylated (tau) proteins are associated with Alzheimer's disease 1 0 1
