Food and Huntington's Disease is another book in a series of books related to the benefits of food on brain function. This book designates the possible beneficial effects of edible natural products and their active materials on Huntington's disease. This is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that could cause uncontrolled movements, cognitive difficulties and emotional disturbances. The aim of this book and its series is to create awareness in general audiences about the dietary perception to reduce the occurrence of Huntington's disease. This may enable a better understanding and possibly reduce the cost on medical bills for patients (approximately $4500/year/person) and the insurance companies. Literature revealed that this disturbing neurodegenerative disorder has a higher prevalence in Europe (3-7 in 100,000), North America (4-5 in 100,000), and Australia than in Asian countries. Studies suggest that mutation in the HD gene and the repeat expansion play an important role in the pathophysiology of this disease. The genetic defect underlying Huntington's disease is unstable, caused by an abnormal CAG expansion within the first exon of the Huntingtin gene (HTT), leading to an expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) track in the HTT protein. This disease is an inherited one. Even though the prevalence rate is moderate, scientists predict that a lot of people possess the possibility of carrying this disease. Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress could very highly play a role in this disease. In the last decade, the benefits of food on many diseases - including brain diseases - were explored. This book aims to summarize the recent updates on the benefit of natural edible materials and their active principles on the prevention or delaying of the progression or the management of this disease. The editors feel highly obligated to all the contributors for this initiative. Undeniably, they believe that the information provided in this book would raise the awareness of the readers and could possibly help them to understand the disease process and the benefits of food items on Huntington's' disease management.

Neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, are a growing problem across the world’s aging population. Oxidative stress in the brain plays a central role in a common pathophysiology of these diseases. This book presents scientific research on the potential of antioxidant therapy in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. This book outlines the roles of oxidative stress and diabetes mellitus in neurodegeneration, describes the molecular mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders including the roles of environmental pollutants and inflammatory responses, and explores mitochondrial dysfunction. It then describes the protective abilities of antioxidants – including vitamin D, tocotrienol and coenzyme Q10 – against neurodegeneration. The book demonstrates the therapeutic potential of ketogenic diets, and highlights the roles of medicinal plants, phytopharmaceuticals, traditional medicines and food nutrients in neuroprotection. Key Features: Explains damage caused by numerous neurodegenerative disorders and the possible protection offered by antioxidants and functional foods. Describes molecular mechanisms of neurodegeneration by oxidative stress, advancing age, diabetes and mitochondrial dysfunctions. Demonstrates protection offered by nutraceuticals, antioxidants, botanical extracts and functional foods. The book contains twenty-three chapters divided into six sections written by leading researchers. This book is essential reading for health professionals, dietitians, food and nutrition scientists and anyone wanting to improve their knowledge of etiology of neurodegenerative diseases.

This book disseminates current information pertaining to the modulatory effects of foods and other food substances on behavior and neurological pathways and, importantly, vice versa. This ranges from the neuroendocrine control of eating to the effects of life-threatening disease on eating behavior. The importance of this contribution to the scientific literature lies in the fact that food and eating are an essential component of cultural heritage but the effects of perturbations in the food/cognitive axis can be profound. The complex interrelationship between neuropsychological processing, diet, and behavioral outcome is explored within the context of the most contemporary psychobiological research in the area. This comprehensive psychobiology- and pathology-themed text examines the broad spectrum of diet, behavioral, and neuropsychological interactions from normative function to occurrences of severe and enduring psychopathological processes.

Huntington's Disease (HD) is a hereditary illness passed on via a defective gene. There is a fifty per cent chance of inheriting it from a parent and there is yet no cure. Learning to Live with Huntington's Disease is one family's poignant story of coping with the symptoms, the diagnosis and the effects of HD. This book presents the struggles and strengths of the whole family when one member loses their future to a terminal illness. Told by the sufferer and other significant family members, the individuals describe the burden of watching yourself and others for symptoms of HD, including involuntary movements, depression, clumsiness, weight loss, slurred speech and sometimes violent tendencies. The family recounts the challenge to remain united and describes how they approached issues such as whether or not to be tested for HD, how much information to disclose to relatives, whether to have children or not and guilt if one sibling inherits the illness and one does not. Both honest and positive, the author stresses the importance of re-inventing yourself and your present, prioritising relationships and retaining a sense of humour.

In the pursuit of alleviating the burden of Huntington's Disease, this book sets out on a remarkable journey through the realms of alternative therapies, cutting-edge technologies, and the uncharted territories of consciousness and healing. "Advanced Treatment for Huntington's Disease: Apometry, NLP, Regression, and Hypnosis" is a culmination of years of exploration, research, and a deep-rooted commitment to enhancing the lives of those affected by this relentless condition. The pages that follow are a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the unwavering hope for a brighter future. Drawing upon a spectrum of disciplines, from apometry to NLP, regression, and even hypnosis, this book is an endeavor to assemble a comprehensive guide for those seeking innovative avenues of treatment and understanding. Exploring Apometry and Beyond We embark upon an exploration of apometry, a technique that goes beyond conventional boundaries. From understanding its fundamental principles to crafting apometric journeys, each chapter delves deeper into the possibilities this practice can offer. As we unravel its potential, we also contemplate its intersections with spirituality, genetics, and the intricacies of the mind-body connection. Navigating the Labyrinth of Therapies This book is not merely about apometry—it's about the amalgamation of therapies. NLP and regression techniques come to the forefront as invaluable tools in the quest for healing. From empowering individuals with effective strategies to revisiting the past for insights into the present, these techniques present a tapestry of choices that can aid in the management of Huntington's Disease and its associated challenges. Beyond the Conventional: Parapsychology and More We embrace the unconventional. With chapters dedicated to parapsychology, paranormality, and the unexplored dimensions of therapy, we invite readers to venture beyond the known. The interaction between genetics and consciousness, the impact of spirituality on healing, and the prospect of engaging with extraterrestrial beings all find their place within these pages. A Vision for the Future As we traverse these territories of knowledge and possibility, it becomes evident that the future is brimming with potential. Apometry is not just a technique; it's a vision for the future of healing. With intersections with fields like genetics, anthropology, and even the management of holistic spaces, the horizons of possibility expand exponentially. This book is a tribute to the human spirit's resilience and innovation. It's an invitation to embrace the unfamiliar and to channel our collective energies towards a world where Huntington's Disease is not a sentence but a challenge we can collectively rise to meet. As you turn these pages, may you find inspiration, insight, and a renewed sense of hope. For the journey ahead is one of discovery, transformation, and the boundless potential of the human mind and heart.
