    A Micro Dusting of Hope

    News Report: UT Southwestern Medical Center

    Press Release from SoCO Health & Mind

    Gold Nanoparticles, something so innocuous and we’re at the ground floor of this discovery.

    This PRESS RELEASE is about gold nanoparticles reversing the brain deficits in multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. WOW!! I mean it, as someone diagnosed with multiple sclerosis this is beyond

    d a breakthrough…it’s an opportunity.

    At UT Southwestern Medical Center, a new treatment is being investigated called CNM-Au8. This treatment consists of gold nanocrystals that are curated to improve brain function. That alone is a promise, the mere inclusion of improvement revitalizes something within that wants to fight to see. What is being produced at UT Southwestern is a collection of studies that are showing promise in using CNM-Au8 to treat neurodegenerative diseases. The results from phase two clinical trials showed that CNM-Au8 improved the NAD+/NADH ratio in patients with MS and Parkinson’s disease. This ratio is linked to energy metabolism in the brain, and increasing it may improve function. Patients with Parkinson’s also reported experiencing improved motor function. More studies are needed, but these results are promising.

    We are more than excited here at SoCO Health & Mind to see what discoveries are uncovered next.
