The End of Alzheimer's?

I don’t use words like “earth-shattering” every day but today we are proud to re- introduce something that is truly earth-shattering.

Make sure you are sitting down, because what you are about to read, I think is the most dramatic thing I’ve discovered to “freeze” the aging process.

This discovery has tremendous benefits for the brain and the heart, quite possibly the two most important organs in our body.

Right up there at the very top of the greatest health discoveries of the past 50 years has to be Coenzyme Q10. It is the gasoline that powers the tiny engine inside every cell, the “mitochondria”.

When our cells don’t get enough fuel, they stop functioning – dead in their tracks, just like your automobile.

When people first started supplementing their diet with CoQ10, miracles started being reported, particularly for the heart and cardiovascular system, for the brain, for fighting cancer, even getting wobbly teeth to stay in the gums – the list went on and on.

Yet all this time, CoQ10 has had a shy relative, a cousin known as Idebenone. With voluminous research over the past 20 years heralding Coenzyme Q10, Idebenone was receiving attention only in Japan, where it was developed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals for the study of Alzheimer’s disease and other cognitive defects.

I first came across Idebenone while working with a brain tumor client. We were looking for a way to increase production of “Nerve Growth Factor” to replenish the nerves after an unfortunate operation had gone wrong, and I made an amazing discovery.

Lena's Health Nugget: Cholesterol Truths

Welcome to our very first Health Nuggets newsletter from Lena Sanchez, who I introduced you to in last week’s newsletter.

Lena is a person with a wealth of knowledge and opinons on all matters to do with Natural Medicine and healing.

This first newsletter really should be called “Health Explosions!” as her views will rock the accepted views on the matter of High Cholesterol.

But that’s what we’re about—stimulating debate and upending the conservative world of the medical/pharmaceutical industry.

So sit back, make a big mug of green tea, add some Emperor’s Chi added and fasten your seat belts.

Lena has arrived in the building! – WG

“Do you believe your doctor’s suggestion that cholesterol causes heart attacks, heart disease and/or strokes and you need to take a drug to lower it?

This is a fallacy and you need to know the truth that too low cholesterol is actually dangerous to your health.

I’ve dealt with this subject for almost 40 years.  My husband was told – in the early 80’s – his cholesterol levels were going to kill him if he didn’t do something!

At that same time, I began seeing patients who had been prescribed cholesterol lowering drug, and after experiencing serious side effects, the doctor took them off the cholesterol lowering drug.

It was then I began years of study to find out the pros and cons of cholesterol in our bodies and learned some pretty surprising things.

Cholesterol is not the danger to your health conventional medical doctors believe it is.

In fact, their medication IS THE DANGER!

Today’s article explains all that.”

"Help – My Brain is Shrinking!"

Have you measured your brain lately? A very significant predictor of mental function is change in brain size.

  • Some body parts continue to grow in adulthood, for example our nose and ears and unfortunately, often our stomach!
  • Some parts shrink like the disks in our spine and the thymus gland.
  • Our brain also shrinks – and at an alarming rate – at least 1 1/2 percent per year.

Use your brain right now and do the math. Get out paper and pencil and work it out. We’ll wait for you…

In 20 years, that’s nearly one-fifth of your brain shrunken.  Its gone, disappeared, poof!!

This shrinkage begins around age 30 and occurs all throughout the brain. There’s a solid connection between this shrinkage and a decline in thinking/cognitive abilities; in patients with only mild cognitive impairment the rate of shrinkage can be closer to two percent per year.

No matter what size an individual’s brain is to begin with, as it shrinks, one begins to see declines in memory, concentration, and other measures of cognitive function. And a sure-fire foundation for dementia and Alzheimer’s.

The Alzheimer's Project

HBO, the cable network, in partnership with the National Institute on Aging and the National Institute of Health, launched a four-part documentary series along with 15 supplemental films this week called, The Alzheimer’s Project, aiming to bring new understanding to this dreadful disease.

Alzheimer’s is now the 2nd most-feared disease, right behind Cancer. A staggering 1 in 8 of our population over the age of 65 have Alzheimer’s; that’s more than 5 million people – and the number is estimated to SOAR to over 11 million as baby boomers move through retirement.

Is there a solution to this terrifying problem? Yes, and it’s a resounding yes! Learn about it now before it’s too late.

Trial drugs 'reverse' Alzheimer's

US scientists say they have successfully reversed the effects of Alzheimer’s with experimental drugs.

The drugs target and boost the function of a newly pinpointed gene involved in the brain’s memory formation. In mice, the treatment helped restore long-term memory and improve learning for new tasks, BBC News reports.

The same drugs – HDAC inhibitors – are currently being tested to treat Huntington’s disease and are on the market to treat some cancers. They reshape the DNA scaffolding that supports and controls the expression of genes in the brain.

Alzheimer's – the Cause and the Answer?

Last month we kicked off an on-going series on the debilitating diseases that are destroying our way of life here in America. The first in this series was a two-part article on Alzheimer’s.

Hidden away in the concluding chapter was a nugget of pure gold, that could be the greatest discovery yet in fighting Alzheimer’s and most importantly, preventing it from happening. I decided to devote a full article to this extraordinary “nugget of gold” because it holds so much hope and promise for each and every one of us, particularly for those trying to cope with this terrible and tragic disease.

Why are the Chinese so Skinny and Cancer Free?

Oprah says,  

“I’m switching to Green Tea.”

 

 

 

Green Tea may help boost metabolism to aid weight loss, block allergic response, slow the growth of tumors, protect bones, fight bad breath, improve skin, protect against Parkinson’s disease, and even delay the onset of diabetes.”

“It is 100 times more effective than Vitamin C and 25 times better than Vitamin E.”

Are Milk and Cheese Rotting Your Brain?‏

Are the cells of your brain dying a dismal death?  Could they be without you knowing?

Such a cellular death leads to the end of  life, a rotten brain full of holes and early-onset Alzheimer’s. It can totally ruin any joy in old age, by subjecting you to life as a zombie with constant care in a nursing home.

The latest link to rapid onset brain disease supports a dramatic and terrifying link between high dairy consumption, Mad Cow Disease and early-onset Alzheimer’s.
