NCT01435551

Brief Summary

From the past research that has been done the investigators have learned that brain cells die \& leave a deposit in the brain known as beta-amyloid. Since alzheimer's is a slow acting disease the natural immune system does not respond to this illness so this builds up in the brain. As it builds up it gets into the neurotransmitters in the brain causing more brain cells to die. As these buildups occur dementia sets in due to more of the brain dying \& effects normal activity. STUDY WAS CANCELLED Hypnotherapy will be used to do the following things:

  • Increase the immune system
  • The immune system will begin to clean up the beta-amyloid buildup
  • That removes damage cells of the brain
  • Increase more blood flow to the brain
  • Allows the active brain cells to be trained to carry out daily activities STUDY WAS CANCELLED
