Here are many current drug trials going on with the idea that one of these drugs being currently tested may prove useful in this debilitating and very tough disease. This article will introduce you to 6 alternative treatments for Alzheimer's disease.

CoQ10 (COENZYME Q10, UBIQUINONE)
Another natural agent that has been used in AD is CoQ10. CoQ10 is found naturally in every cell in the body and is very potent anti-oxidant. Part of the problem with using CoQ10 as a supplement is that it is not very well absorbed if you take it as a capsule or pill—it doesn’t dissolve well in water, so it has to be taken in a fat-soluble form. When is IS taken in an appropriate form, CoQ10 has been shown to have positive effects in AD—though the number of studies done to date is relatively small. It has been more extensively studied in relationship to heart disease.Ginkgo biloba

Huperizine A
Huperizine A is another natural substance derived from a moss known as Huperzia serrata and has also been used in TCM for centuries. It appears to act as a cholinesterase inhibitor and has therefore captured some interest.
Omega-3 fatty acids
Two other natural supplements bear mention when talking about AD. One is the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil. There is some evidence that these are beneficial in AD patients. Phosphotidylserine
Finally, there is a type of fat that is found in all cells, but particularly in brain cells—phosphotidylserine (PTS). Studies have also shown that PTS is useful in preventing the cognitive decline and helping with memory function. It’s also been used to help people fall asleep and stay asleep—probably one reason it helps in cognitive function—you can’t think when you are too tired!- www.alzinfo.org/07/treatment-care/what-drugs-are-approved-for-alzheimers-disease
