Abstract: Elderly individuals are administered dosages of Trans-resveratrol totaling between about 250 mg and 1 gram per day. Typically about 500 mg of Trans-resveratrol are orally administered to such individuals on a daily basis. As a result of the chemical action of Trans-resveratrol in the bodies of the subjects, Alzheimer's disease is prevented, or if already present, advancement is retarded and the existing mentally debilitating conditions of Alzheimer's disease are treated. A subject receiving the Trans-resveratrol experiences a reduction or illumination of the effects of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract: The level of heavy density lipoproteins (HDL) in the blood of a human subject can be in eased by administering dosages of between 50 and 1,000 milligrams of trans-resveratrol to the subject daily. This same dosage reduces the level of light density lipoproteins (LDL) in the blood of the subject. By increasing the blood level of HDL and decreasing the blood level of LDL in the subject, the risk of hypercholesterolemia in the subject is reduced.

Abstract: Compositions for pain relieving non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or medicaments such as ibuprofen, methotrexate, capsaicin, diphenhydramine, aspirin, methyl-nicotinate and other medicaments largely soluble in oil, alcohol, and/or water, are produced for transdermal delivery. The composition is manufactured by admixing an appropriate amount of oil surfactant with an appropriate amount of pharmaceutically approved co-solubilizer alcohol to establish a non aqueous phase. The oil surfactant may be a polyethoxylated oil such as castor oil. The co-solubilizer solubilizer may be isopropyl alcohol or virtually any other alcohols except for methanol. Thereafter, an appropriate amount of distilled water is slowly added to the homogeneous or non-aqueous phase to further reduce viscosity. The final admixture is a clear, oil-continuous solution having a viscosity no greater than 850 centistokes as measured by the VST Hoppler method at 25 degrees Celsius.
