I'm not the original poster of course but wanted to reply to you question. I've been researching health for a number of years and Iodine (and taking it also) for the last 8 months)


I have no info directly on Iodine and Dementia except to say that various organs prefer either Iodine or IoDIDE .... and in the case of the Brain & Cerebriel Spinal Fluid it's IoDIDE ...

I would do more research if I were you...as there is a detox effect you have to be aware of when supplementing Iodine.

Here is a very good thread on the subject. Read everything, click on everything and listen to the interviews. You won't regret it.

Sorry I just realized I forgot to list the post mentioned above.

Thread: IODINE - What they DON'T tell us about this MIRACLE nutrient! UNBELIEVABLE!

But I also saw Valerie Saxion's health program about a year or so ago where a woman Nita Scoggan's claimed to have completely healed her husband (who had full blown alzheimers) with various supplements. I know one of them was Phosphotidyl Serine (PS) ... not sure what the others were but she did write a book about it and I found the book at Valarie's website.

Due to this show and for other reasons I researched to find out what nutrients help brain function and found this. I found Vinpocetine & DMAE along with the PS to be very helpful with memory.

Here's more info from Dr. Mercola on this subject.
