The doctors at the Top Ichilov clinic possess a wide range of knowledge and skills, extensive experience, and many years of practice in providing medical care at the highest level. In their daily work, the specialists at the Top Ichilov clinic utilize the most innovative methods and technologies, many of which have been developed by them or with their direct involvement.
Thanks to several breakthroughs in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders, Israeli doctors have managed to uncover the mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease development and invent innovative methods and drugs that will help rid humanity of this unpredictable disease.
Alzheimer's Disease Treatment in Israel: A Breakthrough in Medicine
Alzheimer's disease is considered an incurable condition worldwide, and traditional treatment primarily focuses on alleviating symptoms and improving the patient's quality of life. Israel has declared victory over Alzheimer's disease. Is this true?
In Israel, traditional medication therapy is also used to treat Alzheimer's disease, aimed at alleviating the manifestations of neurological pathology and improving the overall condition of the patient.
Traditional treatment for Alzheimer's disease in Israel includes:
- Medication therapy. Drugs that alleviate the course of Alzheimer's disease include second-generation acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (which slow down the breakdown of acetylcholine and enhance the functional capacity of the cholinergic system), selegiline (monoamine oxidase type B inhibitors that lower its level and increase dopamine content), the neuroprotective drug memantine (which has neuromodulatory effects, normalizes mental activity, and corrects motor function disorders), vitamins (vitamin E), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and symptomatic medications.
- Supportive treatment in the form of physical activity, establishing a proper rest schedule, and dietary regimen. Additionally, patients are encouraged to learn foreign languages and acquire new knowledge.
- Savion computer method. This program, developed by Israeli specialists, is designed to stimulate the patient's brain, prompting it to work and recall various episodes from life.
Innovative treatment methods for Alzheimer's disease in Israel
- Electromagnetic therapy. NeuroRx has developed a new device for treating Alzheimer's disease called NeuroAD. The patient's brain is affected by electromagnetic impulses, which partially restores the patient's memory. A total of 30 sessions lasting 1 hour each are performed. Soon, this device will be implemented in all medical centers in Israel for treating Alzheimer's disease.
- Deep electromagnetic brain stimulation. This method is based on the therapeutic properties of electromagnetic waves. It is an effective non-invasive surgical method for treating motor disorders using a neurostimulator that sends electrical signals to the brain areas controlling motor functions. The Brainsway system was invented by Israeli scientist Dr. Zangen. The method is performed using a special helmet equipped with electrodes that deliver electromagnetic signals to the brain.
- Nasally administered vaccine spray. Clinical trials for the CAD106 vaccine, which targets β-amyloid, are still ongoing. The result of this action is the restoration of inter-neuronal connections. Israeli scientists have developed a nasal spray containing this vaccine.
- Next-generation drugs. Ladostigil. The trials for the drug Ladostigil, which includes properties of several groups of medications – neuroprotectors, MAO-B inhibitors, and cholinesterase inhibitors – are in the final stages. Due to the combination of properties, the drug significantly slows down the destructive processes in the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease. It can be said that a cure for Alzheimer's disease has been invented; we just need to wait for its mass production. Another drug – Davunetide – is also in the testing phase. This is a cutting-edge neuroprotector that combines the functions of several medications.
- Stem cell treatment. In Israel, stem cell treatment for Alzheimer's disease is carried out very effectively. At the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, stem cell transplantation allows for the restoration of damaged brain cells and prevents the progression of brain tissue atrophy. Stem cells are widely used in Israel for treating various ailments.

Diagnosis in Israel: Accurate Diagnosis in the Shortest Time
High-precision diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in Israel is conducted within 3 days.
Day One – Specialist Examination
On the first day at the clinic, the patient meets with the leading neurologist. The doctor conducts a general examination, reviews the medical history, and evaluates the results of previous examinations and treatments. Based on the examination, the doctor creates a new medical history and diagnostic program tailored to the individual.
Day Two – Diagnostic Investigations
The diagnostic examination is conducted to establish the functional state of the brain and endocrine glands.
- Electroencephalography. This method records the electrical activity of the brain, allowing for the identification of brain activity disorders in various functional impairments of the central nervous system.
- Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and positron emission tomography combined with CT of the brain. These methods provide the most accurate images of all brain structures and identify pathological changes in the most remote areas of the central nervous system. Additionally, a three-dimensional image of the entire body can be obtained to detect pathological changes in any organs.
- Thyroid hormone testing. A blood test is performed to determine the levels of thyroid hormones. The production of hormones T3 and T4 depends on the activity of TSH – thyroid-stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland. In cases of TSH deficiency, a decrease in the production of hormones T3 and T4 is observed.
Day Three – Medical Conclusion and Treatment Program Development
On the third day, a council of neurologists and psychiatrists convenes. They carefully review the results of the examinations and create an individualized treatment plan for the specific patient. This is one of the advantages of Israeli medicine – the individual approach.
- Computed tomography
- Electrocardiography and Doppler ultrasound
- Diagnosis – PET CT

Alzheimer's Disease – A Solved Mystery?
Alzheimer's disease has remained the most mysterious condition to this day. Despite a vast number of studies, treatment for Alzheimer's disease has not yielded the expected results. For 25 years, research has been conducted in Israel to study the mechanisms of development and progression of this hereditary neurological pathology, aiming to create a perfect treatment method and medication. Finally, Israeli scientists can boast of new discoveries and achievements in the successful treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Although many developments are still in clinical trials, some innovative methods and drugs are already actively used in practice. In a few years, it can confidently be said that Israel has conquered Alzheimer's disease! A cure for Alzheimer's disease has been invented in Israel! But that is in the future. In the present, significant results have been achieved in treating the disease and preventing its progression, but full eradication of the ailment still requires years of hard work.
Alzheimer's disease is a hereditary disease of the central nervous system, characterized by the destruction of connections between neurons due to the accumulation of pathological protein between brain cells. In the early stages, Alzheimer's disease manifests as memory disturbances, behavioral changes (aggressiveness develops), and deterioration of cognitive and intellectual functions of the brain. In the late stages, dementia or cognitive impairment develops. Memory, thinking, language skills, comprehension, and the ability to navigate in space and time are affected. Patients lose the ability to walk, speak, eat, and fulfill physiological needs. The most common provoking factors for the development of Alzheimer's disease include genetic predisposition, alcoholism, vitamin B12 deficiency, and brain tumors. Alzheimer's disease affects women more frequently than men, primarily in older age groups.
