New study just out (3/31/23) on natural therapies for tau aggregation (PSP included)

[ShellTaylor]

My father was recently diagnosed with PSP and I have been researching like crazy. I searched all 125 clinical trials on the Government website and all the pubmed articles and studies. This one just came out 3/31/23! It looked at all the studies that have been done on natural supplements, foods, therapies for tauopathy diseases like PSP. It references 240 different studies and summarizes all the proven things one can try. sciencedirect.com/science/a.... See what you think. I've started my Dad on grapeseed extract, turmeric/curcumin, resveratrol, liposomal CoQ10 & NAD, quercetin, fish/krill oil and a few other things.

thank you for this information I’ll take a read through as any help at all is great and you’ve obviously done a lot of research

You're welcome! I hope it helps, let me know what you think and if you have any success trying any of these.

Great! Good luck! I'm sorry I forgot I had to pay for it. I can provide it if you give me your email address, but probably too late.

Hi,

No problem. I think everyone who is a carer or sufferer in the earlier stages of PSP and CbD should see it. All good advice of what foodstuffs slow down the process of Tau's onslaught. (Red wine is even listed, guys!). Anything to slow the progress down......

Thanks so much again for finding it.

I agree! A lot to learn and I find that the doctors don't tell you any of it, so you have to find it on your own. We did find one neuropsychiatrist who I shared the study with and I'll post his recommendations in a new post for everyone to see, hopefully, and for you here: he said to take 1 gram turmeric, 1 gram quercetin and 2 grams fish oil and 1 TB olive oil per day, and ubiquinol instead of CoQ10 which is the more absorbable form and liposomal if possible. I found a good nano turmeric online which is more absorbable. From my research, ideally the supplements have to be liposomal or nano particle size to cross the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB). I'm going to try these as a start and I also bought grape seed extract which the study talked about at 600mg/day. I also give him liposomal or nano (I'm trying each one) NAD which is very good for mitochondrial health (fatique) which my father suffers w/ badly. You can also get IV NAD which my Dad did once but you have to go regularly for 4-6 wks to make a difference.

Good luck. Do try everything and hopefully something will help. Ruth also takes CBD oil and Loins Mane mushroom tablets twice a day......

With respect to this study, I did find one neuropsychiatrist who I shared the study with and I' he said to take 1 gram turmeric, 1 gram quercetin and 2 grams fish oil and 1 TB olive oil per day, and ubiquinol instead of CoQ10 which is the more absorbable form and liposomal if possible. I found a good nano turmeric online which is more absorbable. From my research, ideally the supplements have to be liposomal or nano particle size to cross the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB). I'm going to try these as a start and I also bought grape seed extract which the study talked about at 600mg/day. I also give him liposomal or nano (I'm trying each one) NAD which is very good for mitochondrial health (fatique) which my father suffers w/ badly. You can also get IV NAD which my Dad did once but you have to go regularly for 4-6 wks to make a difference. Also, my Dad is finding sunosi drug helpful for excessive daytime sleepiness. It's not to be taken everyday but on days we are taking him out he does say it helps. For sleep we just tried lunesta (about the 10th thing we've tried) and I'm hopeful. I'll keep you all posted on that. Of course a lot of this in individualistic, so what works for my Dad may not work for someone else and vice versa.
