Sometimes X-rays show up grey patches on the brain, which may be aluminum deposits. I think some of the information stating aluminum is not the cause of Alzheimer's is misinformation, but it could certainly have other causes as well.
A previous poster mentioned the NAC, which is an excellent chelator. We all have heavy metals in our bodies which play havoc with our health. Most of them have an affinity to a specific part of the body. Aluminum just likes to lodge in the brain for some reason.
Personally, I think other things may contribute, like a lifetime of eating fast foods, bad fats, and MSG, which can disrupt links in the synapses in the brain. It's very important to eat plentiful amounts of fresh (pesticide free if possible) fruits and vegetables, as they contain the minerals our bodies have to have in order to function properly.
There have been some studies linking cold pressed, natural coconut or coconut oil to an arrest of further deterioration of the brain from Alzheimer's.
Periods of forgetfulness followed by periods of being ok, are sometimes just low blood sugar or an electrolyte imbalance, but can also be Alzheimer's.
Cilantro is a natural chelator, for aluminum and mercury, but it throws it into the gut to expel it and can reabsorb if you don't take something to bind and absorb it, so use charcoal or bentonite clays within 20 minutes of using about a half cup or so of Cilantro, and continue the charcoal or clay a week after stopping the Cilantro. Magnesium ascorbate is another good chelator. Do adequate research or get a health practitioner to work with you if doing any chelation process.
