Hillary Clinton Wants to Find a "Cure" For Alzheimer's, I Have Some Big Clues For Her !!

Hillary Clinton wants to find a "cure" for Alzheimer's Disease. She wants to spend 2 billion dollars in tax payer money to accomplish this.

The Alzheimer's Association claims that the disease is the only top-10 cause of death in America that can’t be prevented, cured, or slowed down.

I would like to give Hillary and the Alzheimer's Association some clues as to where they should look.

Here is the first big clue:

LOW CHOLESTEROL AND STATIN DRUGS !!

The first thing I want to point out is that Alzheimer's disease really boomed after the 1950's. This was when the main stream medical system started telling people to reduce their intake of cholesterol. Alzheimer's Disease further escalated after the advent of Cholesterol Lowering medications. In fact even the FDA forced pharmaceutical companies to include a black box warning on their cholesterol lowering medications cautioning that they may cause memory issues.

When ever a client tells me one of their parents or grandparents have some form of memory impairment, my first question is always "Are they on cholesterol lowering medications?" The answer is almost always yes. I cant even count how many of my clients have told me this. In the nursing home that I work in I see similar situations. When ever I see Alzheimer's disease or some other form of Dementia, I look at their list of medications and over 90% of the time they are on Statin Drugs.

Why do Statin drugs do this? The answer is quite simple. Your brain has a lot of cholesterol in it.
When you reduce your intake of cholesterol or force your body to stop producing it your brain (as well as many other vital processes) will suffer.

Clue # 2:

Blood Sugar

There is strong evidence showing a connection between high blood sugar and Alzheimer's disease that researcher's are now calling it type 3 diabetes.

Sugar is dangerous when it is constantly rising in the blood. It is sticky and highly reactive stuff.
(in fact it is explosive !!) When too much sugar is circulating in your blood it burns. The real problem arises when these burned sugar particles react with protein and they caramelize (called glycation),
causing what scientists call advanced glycation products.

What does this have to do with Alzheimer's?

When burned sugar reacts with proteins in our brain it can lead to memory problems. 

The blood sugar link to Alzheimer's disease is undeniable.

Clue # 3

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat protecting nutrient. Since the brain is largely made up of fat, it would be logical
to confer that oxidized fats in the brain could be mended with Vitamin E which is a powerful antioxidant.

There is some good scientific literature on Vitamin E's role in preventing and slowing down the
progression of Alzheimer's.

Clue # 4

Fasting

Eating less food may help slow down the progression of Alzheimer's Disease.
In one study intermittent fasting helped slow down the progression of the disease in rats.

Clue # 5

 

Vitamin D

 

A study that was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Neurology found that participants that were deficient in Vitamin D were twice as likely to develop dementia compared to participants with normal vitamin D levels.

 

Those that had severe vitamin D deficiency tripled the risk for dementia !!

 

There are plenty of safe, natural, and non-medical strategies that you can try for Alzheimer's disease utilizing nutrition and nutritional supplementation. (I have many more nutrients, foods, and strategies that are highly beneficial to someone with Alzheimer's, but will stop here) I have a feeling Hillary Clinton is going to try to hand over our tax money to pharmaceutical companies that don't have our best interest at heart, will produce substandard results, and will most likely not "cure" the disease.

Full Spectrum Lights Work Better Than Prozac

Researchers at the University of British Columbia conducted a study that showed how full spectrum light is effective for major depression. Not only did this study show that full spectrum light was effective, but it out performed the SSRI Drug Prozac !!

What was even more humorous was that the placebo was more effective than Prozac (laughing hard)

I recommend full spectrum light during the winter and fall months to anyone who suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), depression, anxiety, or a weakened immune system.

In the summer time spend as much time in the sun as you can (without sun screen !!)
Just make sure you do not burn your skin.

Study Shows Fluoride Significantly Increases ADHD Rate

A new study showed that a 1% increase in fluoride levels in drinking water can result in 131,000 children developing Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

The evidence has been piling up against fluoride. It is clear that fluoride is a neurotoxin and needs to be removed from our drinking water immediately.

Study: Spending time in Nature improves mental health

City dwelling has been associated with increased levels of mental illness. A new study showed that
taking a 90 minute walk through nature improved mental health.

In the study one group took a 90 minute walk through nature, while another walked through an urban environment.

Those who walked through nature had lower levels of rumination (negative thinking)

Take a hike through nature !!

Study: Antidepressant Paxil Can Make Teens Suicidal & is Not Effective

A New study that was published in the British Journal of Medicine showed an alarming rate of suicidal behavior in adolescents that took the SSRI Paxil (Paroxetine) while being about as effective as placebo.

The researchers concluded "Neither paroxetine nor high dose imipramine showed efficacy for major depression in adolescents, and there was an increase in harms with both drugs."

If it is not effective and causes suicidal behavior, why is it on the market?

A Fun Way To Detoxify & Stimulate Your Immune System

 

 

Moving Your Lymphatic Fluid With A Rebounder

Our lymphatic system is like our immune system's circulatory system. This is how our immune cells travel. Unlike our circulatory system which uses our heart to pump the blood through it, our lymphatic system relies on our muscles to move lymphatic fluid around. If we are not using our muscles, jumping, moving around, exercising, our lymphatic fluid does not circulate well and our immune system can not function efficiently.

When we are moving our body and using our muscles to exercise the lymphatic fluid moves around allowing immune cells to get to bacteria and viruses faster, and helps flush out toxins from the body.

Using a rebounder is easy on the joints and is a fun way to achieve this.

Vitamin C has similar cardiovascular effects to exercise

Researchers from the University of Colorado, Boulder found that a daily intake of 500 mg of Vitamin C improved blood vessel function in overweight and obese adults.

They had one group take 500mg of vitamin C daily, while the other group performed daily aerobic exercises. The group that took vitamin c showed similar cardiovascular effects as walking exercise did in this population.

Now ask yourself why government recommendations only suggest 40 mg of vitamin C per day when thousands of studies show remarkable benefits with doses around 1,000mg per day?

My preferred way to take vitamin c is ascorbic acid in powdered form. It is the cheapest way
of getting vitamin c and will last you a long time. I like to mix it in smoothies and put it in water sipping it slowly. I like taking 1,000mg 3x/day

Camu powder is also my favorite. It contains more vitamin c than any food that I know of. It is more expensive than plain ascorbic acid but comes with all the cofactors and bioflavonoids.
