A method for treatment of the symptoms of neurologic dysfunctions, including major depression, an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and schizophrenia. The patient is administered an amount of a compound that increases the catalytic activity of MAO-A. The effective compound is preferably reserpine, administered in a dosage of less than about 0.03 mg per day. The reserpine may be administered topically or transdermally at a dosage in the range from about 0.002 mg per day to about 0.02 mg per day. In homeopathic use, the reserpine may be administered in the form of a homeopathic dilution, preferably as a 12 C homeopathic dilution of reserpine.

Method for treatment of neurologic dysfunction

A method for treatment of the symptoms of neurologic dysfunctions, including major depression, an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and schizophrenia. The patient is administered an amount of a compound that increases the catalytic activity of MAO-A. The effective compound is preferably reserpine, administered in a dosage of less than about 0.03 mg per day. The reserpine may be administered topically or transdermally at a dosage in the range from about 0.002 mg per day to about 0.02 mg per day.

A method for treating Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) by administering at least one alky ester of imidazolecarboxylc acid, preferably methyl 4-imidazolecarboxylate. It is hypothesized that the treatment counters AD/ASD by maintaining the intracellular/extracellular osmolyte gradient in the central nervous system (CNS) within a substantially normal range. The methyl 4-imidazolecarboxylate may be administered orally, by inhaler, by injection or by transdermal application. When administered by transdermal application, the dosage range may be from about 0.01 mcg per day to about 3.0 mcg per day, preferably from about 0.1 mcg per day to about 0.3 mcg per day.

Method for treatment of alzheimer's disease and autism spectrum disorders

A method for treating the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and related neurodegenerative conditions, using a histamine compound that is methylated in vitro prior to being introduced into the body of the patient. The histamine compound is suitably histamine diphosphate, and may be methylated in vitro by mixing in combination with at least one thiol compound in the presence of at least one methyl group donor compound. The thiol compound is suitably L-reduced glutathione and the methyl group donor is suitably betaine hydrochloride. The compounds are mixed vigorous in an acid environment, to create a shearing force that facilitates exchange of the methyl group from the donor compound to the histamine diphosphate. The resulting methylated histamine compound is suitably administered to the patient by transdermal application. The method also provides a medicament for treatment the symptoms of multiple sclerosis and related neurodegenerative conditions, and a method for preparation of such a medicament.

Method and composition for treatment of multiple sclerosis and related neurodegenerative conditions

A method for treatment of multiple sclerosis and other neurodegenerative diseases, disorders or conditions. An alkyl ester of imidazole carboxylic acid, preferably methyl 4-imidazolecarboxylate, is administered in a therapeutic amount. It is hypothesized that the alkyl ester of imidazole carboxylic acid serves to restore and/or maintain the intracellular/extracellular osmolyte gradient in the central nervous system (CNS). The methyl 4-imidazolecarboxylate may be administered transdermally, using PLO gel or other suitable transdermal carrier. The compound may also be administered orally, inhaler or by injection. The treatment is advantageously performed on a three day cycle, with a period of two days intervening between each day on which the compound is administered. Dosage ranges may be from about 0.01 mcg to about 3.0 mcg, with dosages in the range from about 0.1 mcg to about 0.2 mcg in generally preferred when using transdermal administration.

Method for treatment of neurodegenerative disorders

A method for treatment of depression and depressive mood disorders. The patient is administered an amount of a compound that increases the catalytic activity of MAO-A, so as to increase synaptic metabolism of serotonin to 5-HIAL. The effective compound is preferably reserpine, administered in a dosage of less than about 0.03 mg per day. The reserpine may be administered transdermally at a dosage in the range from about 0.002 mg per day to about 0.02 mg per day. A caffeine compound may be administered simultaneously so as to compensate for an antihypertensive effect of the reserpine. The caffeine compound may be combined with the reserpine in a transdermal cream.

Method for treatment of depression and depressive mood disorders

A method for treatment of neurodegenerative disease conditions stemming from multiple sclerosis, aging, autoimmune diseases and fibromyalgia. A compound effective to increase neuronal metabolism of histamine to a histamine Hagonist is administered in an amount sufficient to stimulate production of cyclic AMP at a level which is sufficient to maintain myelin against undergoing self-degeneration. The compound is selected from the group consisting of histamine M-methyltransferase, monoamineoxidase-A, monoamineoxidase-A agonists and histamine Hantagonists. The histamine M-methyltransferase may be administered to increase neuronal metabolism of histamine to tele-methylhistamine, whereas the monoamineoxidase-A or monoamineoxidase-A agonist may be administered so as to increase neuronal metabolism of telemethylhistamine to an Hagonist. Separately or in conjunction with the others, the histamine Hantagonist may be administered so as to inhibit metabolism of the telemethylhistamine to an Hagonist, thereby increasing metabolism of the telemethylhistamine to an Hagonist. The increased histamine Hagonist levels reduce demyelination and the symptoms that are associated with these conditions.

Method for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and effects of aging

A method for treatment of multiple sclerosis and related disease states. A histamine H2 mimicking agent is administered in an amount which is effective to stimulate production of a cyclic AMP in the body. A phosphodiesterase inhibitor is administered in conjunction with the histamine H2 mimicking agent to conserve the cyclic AMP which is thus produced. It is believed that the increased cyclic AMP levels serve to maintain the patient's myelin against self degeneration. The histamine H2 mimicking agent may be histamine phosphate and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor may be caffeine. The histamine H2 mimicking agent and the phosphodiesterase inhibitor may be mixed in a gel and administered using a transdermal patch.
