My brother's DOCTOR told him about this drug. He's not a quack, just a
regular doctor..
Just wondered if anyone had heard of the drug.

Thank you

I was very skeptical when I came across the product Cerefolin.   My
father is around 73 years old and has been slowly showing signs of
dementia.  He has a twin brother who has progress rapidly in the last
year to severe cognitive impairment.  I had no other hope then to make
a request to his doctor to put him on Cerefolin.  I made no mention to
any of my siblings what the doctor had done.  About a month later I
was at our family reunion and speaking with my brother and sisters in
reference to my father's condition.  My siblings brought up the fact
they have noticed a change in the way dad was remembering and carrying
on conversations.  Prior to this my father would start his story over
in the middle of the conversation acting like the conversation never
took place.  He would forget our names and other life events.  He
would also forget the simple items such as times and dates.  He would
forget the rules to a card game we have played 1,000 times prior.
During this family reunion, I had other family members approach me and
state how my dad has improved over the past couple of weeks.  I am
very glad I did some research and requested the product for my father.
For a product with no side effects there was nothing for my father or
my family to lose.  Apparently there is a certain percentage of the
population that have a gene mutation that can't break down the folic
acid to L-methyfolate no matter how much folic acid is given.  This
part of the population receives no benefit from folate
supplementation.  Looking back on my father's case this seemed to be
the issue, since he was already taking 5mg of folate combination for
over a year with no signs of cognitive improvement.  The combination
of the new folate "Metafolin" must have made the difference.  During
my research on Alzheimer's and dementia, there are many mentions from
well respected journals concerning vitamin therapy and dementia.
There is currently a large study sponsored by the National Institute
on Aging (NIA) which is looking into vitamins to slow Alzheimer's
disease:  http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00056225
All I know is currently Cerefolin is working for my father with no
side effects which is enough evidence for me.
I hope this helps…
