Insufficiency of Cellular Energy (ICE) May Precede Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s Disease and Be Treatable via the Alternative Cellular Energy (ACE) Pathway

Abstract: The term neurodegeneration emphasizes the destruction of neuronal cells as the primary explanation of many major neurological illnesses, including Alzheimer's disease. Specialized functioning of cells requires more cellular energy than is needed for basic cell survival. Cells can acquire energy both from the metabolism of food and from the alternative cellular energy (ACE) pathway. The ACE pathway is an added dynamic (kinetic) quality of the body's fluids occurring from the absorption of an external force term… Show more

“…For instance, it is proposed that KELEA can function in maintaining more stable cellular electrical membrane potential [1,2]. This appears to be particularly relevant to the functioning of neuronal and neurosensory cells.…”

“…An extrapolation of this hypothesis is that neuronal and neurosensory cells may initially respond to ICE by becoming hyper-excitable. As discussed elsewhere [1,2], this is likely to be a non-sustainable adaptation, in which case the affected neuronal and neurosensory cells would enter a phase in which although still viable, the cells would lack the energy required to perform their intended more specialized functions. Many neurological and psychiatric illnesses are consistent with symptoms arising from either hyper-excitable or functionally quiescent neuronal cells.…”
