Abstract
Abstract A method is provided for treating Alzheimer's Disease by administering to a subject an effective symptom-alleviating amount of a compound selected from the group consisting of phytic acid, phytate salt, an isomer or hydrolysate of phytic acid or phytate salt, or a mixture of any combination thereof. The preferred method of administration is by oral dosages of about 1/2 to 3 grams/kilogram bodyweight per day.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
87 words
A method of treating Alzheimer's Disease comprising the step of orally administering to a subject a dephosphorylating enzyme and a symptom-alleviating amount equivalent to a daily dosage of about 0.5-3 grams of phytic acid per kilogram of body weight per day of a compound selected from the group consisting of phytic acid, a phytate salt, an isomer or hydrolysate of phytic acid or a phytate salt, or a mixture of two or more thereof whereby the amount of enzyme present is sufficient to hydrolyze the phytic acid.
