Kenko.com is reputable company in Japan.  I've never though about searching those Japanese web site in English.  Dah!  Thank you for the help everyone!

Now remember, Feru guard might be the one to try first since the New feru guard has more garden angelica, and it can lead to more agitation, more hyper tension etc easily compare to old one.  Plus make sure to introduce one medicine at a time so you can tell which on is changing which behavior....see what happens, then increase or reduce, then see....each step at least 2 weeks or so...is a part of Kono Method.  Bottom line is care giver or family is the main source to tell which medicine is working....that is why other doctors don't like the Kono method.  They believe non Doctors should never be the main person to decide what to do to patient....I'm in between about this...need more reading at his blog plus other doctors opinions...

Excellent advice, Lisa.   

At first when I read from the Kono blogs about patients being able to adjust their medications I wasn't sure about it.  But often times patients are not given the right levels of medications by doctors.  Sometimes maybe the doctors listen to the patient or their loved ones and adjust the medications, but sometimes they don't. 

This website discusses the uses and possible side effects of garden angelica.

Too high a level of phenolic compounds can certainly increase blood pressure and anxiety by increasing adrenaline levels.  Just as Lisa suggested the medications have to be adjusted to fit the person. 

Can anybody find any thing from these.

Found at Dr. Kono's web page, but number's are gibberish to me....

Any sort of published ones from him?

That's it for today.

Will come back for some more...

Now Confused that I was thinking Glovia and the Korean company is not the same, but he also mention ANM176 as above...hmmm.

I have not looked at all of these papers yet, but I think this is the most important one (the one Lisa began this thread with).   

EFFECT OF ANM176TM CONTAINING FERULIC ACID AND GARDEN ANGELICA EXTRACT ON ALZHEIMER´S DISEASE

Background: Ferulic acid has been shown to prevent amyloid β (Aβ) induced neurotoxiciy in rat hippocampus and also to protect rats against the impairment of inhibitory avoidance caused by Aβ, scopolamine or cycloheximide.
Methods: We administered ANM176TM containing ferulic acid and garden angelica extract to 143 Alzheimer disease (AD) patients for 9 months. Their cognitive function was measured by Japanese version of Alzheimer's disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Jcog) or mini-mental scale examination (MMSE). ANM176TM was supplied by the courtesy of Scigenic Co., Korea.
Findings: The change of ADAS-Jcog score in patients treated with ANM176TM for 9 months lessened, when compared with the previously reported change of ADAS-Jcog score in the natural course of AD. The decline of cognitive function was suppressed significantly more remarkably after 9 months in AD patients with ADAS-Jcog score < 20 at onset than those with score ≥30, or in those with MMSE score ≥24 at onset than those with score ≤10. AD cases with early-onset (< 65 years old) after 6 months exhibited significantly greater worsening than those with late-onset (≥65 years old) after 9 months when measured with ADAS-Jcog. ANM176TM attenuated worsening in ADAS-Jcog score after 6 months more effectively when administered alone, compared with those accompanied with donepezil treatment. ANM176TM was well tolerated without any noticeable side effect.
Interpretation: Present results suggest ANM176TM could be recommended for relatively mild AD patients with late-onset without donepezil treatment.

The combination of ferulic acid with garden angelica appeared to slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease and especially those with relatively mild late onset Alzheimer's disease with prolonged use (over nine months).  I believe these results are better than what is achieved with current medications prescribed to treat Alzheimer's disease, but perhaps not as good as some essential oils via aromatherapy.

I am still trying to figure out which methoxyphenols can be used in conjunction with essential oils to produce even better results.  Ferulic acid appears to be relatively safe and it appears to slow down the rate of the progression of the disease in Alzheimer's patients so it may be a good candidate.
