Answer 1

Aluminium has been established as a neurotoxin.[1] Aluminium chloride, an aluminum salt that is commonly used in antiperspirants, is also commonly used in studies on aluminium-induced neurotoxicity[2][3][4][5][6]. Aluminium itself adversely affects the blood-brain barrier, is capable of causing DNA damage, and has adverse epigenetic effects.[7][8] Research has shown that the aluminium salts used in antiperspirants have detrimental effects to a number of species such as non-human primates[9], mice[10], dogs[11] and others. An increased amount of Aluminium is also present in the brains of many Alzheimer's patients, although it is not yet known if this link is causal.[12][13]

I found this for you I hope it helps. Alzhaimer is also genetic. As it says here there is a link. Among that there could be other links to this disease. The best way is to keep your mind active. Active meaning reading even as you get older. I have witness patients come in to a home facility alert and then they give up. They stop reading, interacting and using their mind. Do further research and talk to your doctor.

It is possible but there are still a lot of mysteries to the root cause of the illness. My grandmother suffered with it for many years and I wish there could be a cure as its a terrible way to end the life. I read this article to research about your specific question. Yes it does say that this aluminum chloride can increase the chances of it. I believe that my grandmother must have had it from years and years of eating canned goods and products that were stored in aluminum containers. And you will notice that more and more elderly people are increasingly suffering from this in their old age nowadays. I would check with my doctor and ask if there is some other type of deoderant or personal product that can be replaced for your health condition. Hopefully there is a solution for this.

Read the following article about aluminum and Alzheimer's.

Answer 3

Concern over aluminum: At one point there was controversy over using any product containing aluminum, including soda cans, pots, pans and deodorants, because of a potential link with Alzheimer's disease, Klein said. But since then, she has not read about any studies proving an association between aluminum and Alzheimer's, hasn't seen aluminum banned from products, nor seen aluminum-based products with warning labels like those on lead-based products. "I can only assume that it is not considered dangerous by the medical community as a whole," she said.

The use of aluminum-containing antiperspirants--but not the use of antiperspirants and deodorants in general--has also been associated with a risk of Alzheimer's dementia, with a trend toward a higher risk corresponding with increasing frequency of use.3 This relationship does not extend to aluminum-containing antacids,4 which may simply be evidence that the aluminum in antacids is not absorbed--the process of absorption through the gut mucosa is quite different from absorption through the skin.

We also know that serum aluminum concentrations increase with age. Aluminum may accumulate slowly over our lifetimes or we may absorb it more easily as we age. Moreover, there is evidence that people with probable Alzheimer's disease have serum aluminum levels that are often significantly higher than those of people with other types of dementia, as well healthy people of similar ages.5

Further evidence that aluminum fosters the development of Alzheimer's dementia comes from a scientific (placebo-controlled) trial of desferrioxamine, a drug that removes aluminum from the body by binding with it. While regular administration of the drug failed to stop the disease from progressing, desferrioxamine did significantly reduce the rate of decline in the ability of a group of people with Alzheimer's dementia to care for themselves.6

Although the aluminum/Alzheimer's link remains unproven, I believe that waiting for definitive proof before taking a few easy and protective measures is foolhardy--and more scientists are starting to agree.7,8 Perhaps one person in 10 age 65 or older suffers from dementia; by age 80 that figure rises to one in five. This is too common an illness to ignore preventive measures until we can know for certain why it develops.

Answer 4

They've linked aluminum chloride to Alzheimer's, but they haven't actually proved that it is a direct cause. The best thing you can do is stop using it as soon as possible and switch to a different deodorant.

Answer 5

it extremely is been shown theoretically achieveable for aluminum to reason breast maximum cancers, yet that may no longer probably proper to aluminum chloride hexahydrate, fairly in its customary use. you isn't excessively in probability for breast maximum cancers in case you employ it. i'm assuming you're talking approximately utilising it as in antiperspirant (as very almost all antiperspirants use it). if it extremely is so, the hyperlink I linked will help ease your - and with a bit of luck your mom's - concerns. at the same time because it does word that extra study is mandatory on aluminum absorption interior the breast, there is likewise a learn exhibiting that there substitute into no hyperlink between antiperspirant utilization and breast maximum cancers. Edit: additionally, in connection with the different poster, only because of the fact somebody thinks that something contributed to their condition would not make it a reason (without insult meant in direction of the survivors - i'm happy to pay attention that the poster's acquaintances have survived the terrible sickness). plenty because of the fact the chilly air would not supply you colds as many think of, antiperspirants won't supply you maximum cancers. yet I do accept as true with the different sentiment - in case you're extremely as traumatic as you look related to the drug, you should choose for to attempt an option and notice if it works.

Answer 6

Not true.
That was a popular pseudo-medical myth that went around 10 years ago.
Several long-term studies have shown that there is no link whatsoever between anti-perspirants containing aluminum and Alzheimer's disease.

Answer 7

Take magnesium supplements. The reason you would get alzheimers, would be if your magnesium levels were low, then the body takes the aluminum, as it is chemically close to magnesium. If you have enough magnesium, your body will rid itself of the aluminum naturally.

Answer 8

Yes it can. They are also saying that this might cause breast cancer, as well.
