摘要

A composition and method for the treatment of Alzheimer's Disease, and/or related protein aggregation diseases and/or amyloidoses and/or a neuro-degenerative disease, and/or Parkinson's Disease and/or Parkinsonism including an effective amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of phytic acid (inositol hexakisphosphate), a phytate salt, an isomer or hydrolysate of phytic acid or a phytate salt, or a mixture of any combination thereof, being administered to a person in an amount from about 0.5 grams to about 18.75 grams at least once a week up to once per day, with or without a dephosphorylating enzyme. The dosage may be proportionately or disproportionately divided so that the dosage is administered in proportionally or disproportionately reduced amounts which cumulatively add up to a predetermined dosage, in a time period where the proportionately or disproportionately divided dosages are cumulatively equivalent in quantity to the dosage.
