Dr. Bob Rhondell Gibson was a MD internal medicine, orthomolecular doctor, MD psychiatrist, chiropractor, and healer 65 years.  He was a diabetic who lived to 108 years with only 1 side effect 2 years before he passed away.  Dr. Bob practiced a system of medicine called orthomolecular medicine.  It is a system of medicine that uses mainly natural substances that are non-toxic and safe in wide range of doses.  It uses mainly herbs and minerals/vitamins.

Dr Bob said as we age, permeability of cell membranes becomes a little less selective (think of fishing net with holes in it).  Dr. Bob said these holes need fixing.  The knots/kinks in an Alzheimer’s type neurons might benefit by fixing these holes.  

The following are the methods that Dr. Bob described could help fix these holes:

1.      Fish oil in divided doses.  High doses may be needed for the stress of Alzheimer’s.  Dr. Bob advised 2 grams or more total a day of DHA.

2.      Carnosine 1 and 1/2 grams a day total, in divided doses.  Dr. Bob felt carnosine might be the best at fixing the holes in cell membranes that happen as we age.  Less carnosine amounts may be neutralized by your body.  Further research will be needed to determine optimal carnosine doses.

3.      Hydergine 4.5 g in 3 divided doses.  Hydergine increases oxygen to cell tissues.  This will help fight free radicals, a great problem in Alzheimer’s and many other serious conditions.  Hydergine is a prescription drug.

4.      Drink lots of distilled water.  Water is needed to help maintain proper energy levels and production of ATP energy, the chemical energy of the body.  This energy is vital to help slow down the toxic aspects of tissue destruction in Alzheimer’s.  The loss of cell permeability means more water is needed then the usual recommended 8 glasses of water.  Consider 12 glasses or more distilled water.

5.      Consider 5-15 mg Vinpocetine 3 times day.  Vinpocetene can increase blood circulation in different parts of the brain.  Increasing blood supply to the brain can help in repairing and slowing down tissue damage.

6.      Consider 4 - 5 mg Deprenyl 2 time per day.  Deprenyl is a prescription drug. 

NOTE - Dr. Bob advised not to use vinpocetene and Deprenyl at the same time.  He suggested 3-4 hours separate their use.

NOTE – In order for these nutritional ideas to be successful, you must use supplements of the highest quality. Dr. Bob often said, “Almost all supplement companies produce poor quality.”  You can consider the product page of this web site. Almost all the products met Dr. Bob’s approval.  Since he passed away we have attempted to keep the same high standards. 

WARNING: DO NOT STOP ANY TREATMENT OR MEDICATION YOU CURRENTLY USE.  CONSULT WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE STARTING THE USE OF SUPPLEMENTS.
