Number 1- Heal the gut
Gluten sensitivity may actually affect as much as 30 to 40 percent of all people,
and according to Dr. Alessio Fasano at Massachusetts General Hospital,
virtually all of us are affected to some degree.
This is because we all create something called zonulin in the intestine in response to gluten.
This protein, found in wheat, barley and rye, makes your gut more permeable,
which allows proteins to get into your bloodstream that would otherwise have been excluded.
That then sensitizes your immune system and promotes inflammation and autoimmunity.
This kind of gut permeability is also promoted by things like antibiotics and chlorinated water.
Once gluten sensitizes your gut,
it then becomes more permeable and all manner of previously excluded proteins—including casein and other dairy proteins—have direct access to your bloodstream,
thereby challenging your immune system.
Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, another neurologist who has also done remarkable work in this area as a result of seeking a solution for her autistic son, came to the same conclusion discussed by Dr. Perlmutter.
Essentially, preventing and treating neurological disorders requires severe restriction of gluten and casein.
You also need to address your gut flora.
I believe it would be wise for most people to avoid pasteurized dairy (primarily casein but also other proteins) and gluten. That said, there are subgroups of people who are particularly prone to harm from these proteins,
and as a rule must avoid them in order to maintain their health.
Bear in mind that dairy fat like butter, which has virtually no protein, is not problematic
and can be consumed even by those who are sensitive to milk proteins. As stated by Dr. Perlmutter:
“We need to eat fat. We’re suggesting a revolutionary dietary change, telling people they should go on this new diet—which is only the diet humans have eaten for the past 2.6 million years! We’ve always eaten fat. Fat is the most wonderful health-providing food that we can obtain in the human diet.
Of course, we have to qualify that with what type of fat you are eating.”
Beneficial health-promoting fats that your body—and your brain in particular—needs for optimal function include organic butter from raw milk, clarified butter called organic grass fed raw butter, olives, organic virgin olive oil and coconut oil, nuts like pecans and macadamia, free-range eggs, wild Alaskan salmon, and avocado, for example.
According to Dr. Perlmutter, our current dietary fat phobia “has absolutely been the cornerstone of our most common degenerative diseases of the day, including Alzheimer’s.” Why?
Because when you cut dietary fat and keep protein about the same,
you’re going to fill in the gaps with health-harming carbohydrate foods, predominantly grains.
Lifestyle strategies that promote neurogenesis and regrowth of brain cells include the following.
All of these strategies target a specific gene pathway called BDNF or brain-derived neurotrophic factor,
which promotes brain cell growth and connectivity as demonstrated on MRI scans.

- Reducing carbohydrate consumption
- Increasing healthy fat consumption
- Increasing omega-3 fat intake and reducing consumption of damaged omega-6 fats (vegetable oils) in order to balance omega-3 to omega-6 ratio. I prefer krill oil to fish oil here, as krill oil also contains astaxanthin,
- which appears to be particularly beneficial for brain health.

Alzheimers prevention diet
clcik here -undergroundhealthreporter.com/alzheimers-prevention-diet
- Did you know…you can slash your risk of Alzheimer’s by almost half with a very simple shift in your diet?
If you’re concerned about your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, it’s time to pass on the muffins. - An Alzheimer’s prevention diet means you’ll also want to curb consumption of cake,
- bread, pasta, and other high carbohydrate foods.
That’s because in a news release on October 16, Mayo Clinic announced that senior citizens who consumed a high carb diet were more likely to suffer from MCI (mild cognitive impairment),
a condition that often progresses into Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
- The Mayo Clinic study on the link between diet and dementia (published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease) began with more than 1,200 participants between the ages of 70 and 89.
Of that initial group, the 940 who displayed no evidence of existing MCI (mild cognitive impairment),
were included in the study. - By the time the study ended, 200 of the participants had begun to show signs of MCI—specifically, problems with memory…speaking…thinking…and judgment.
For 4 years, participants detailed their eating habits while researchers tracked
and evaluated key areas of concern. Ultimately researchers uncovered the following facts:
- 1. Those who naturally incorporated an Alzheimer’s prevention diet
- eating high levels of protein reduced their risk of MCI by 21%.
- 2. Individuals whose diets had the highest level of healthy fats reduced their risk of MCI by 42%.
- 3. A high carb diet may be a greater risk for MCI due to elevated glucose levels.
Your brain needs glucose to function.
But researchers say too much glucose can cause plaques to develop that damage blood vessels in the brain.
Controlling glucose levels appears to be one of the most powerful ways
to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Forget Crosswords, This is the Best "Workout for Your Brain"
Three Major Requirements for Brain Power
Cognitive changes related to aging are actually related more to today’s diet and lifestyle,

As you age, the cumulative effects of environmental toxins,

stress and other factors take their toll on your body.
What has been called “age-related cognitive decline” is really an accumulation of this damage to your cells.
But this cognitive decay is NOT set in stone!
There are three primary factors that play a powerful role in maintaining sharp mental function, even as you age:
stop your brain cells from "rattling around aimlessly," lift your mood
and also protect your brain cells against the effects of stress hormones...

Alzheimer's May be Caused by Poor Diet
What you eat may play a crucial role in preventing -- or causing -- dementia,
including Alzheimer's disease.I have become passionate about warning of the dangers of fructose.
There is NO question in my mind that regularly consuming more than 25 grams of fructose per day
will dramatically increase your risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Consuming too much fructose will inevitably wreak havoc on your body's ability
to regulate proper insulin levels.
Since the average American is exceeding this recommendation by 300% this is a pervasive and serious issue.
I view significantly reducing fructose consumption as the MOST important step you can take
to lower your risk of Alzheimer's disease.

- click for ~ The Key to Healthy Aging
- In the next 20 years
it is projected that Alzheimer's will affect 1 in 4 Americans.
- Tips for Preventing Alzheimer's Disease
including one in eight people aged 65 and over -- living with Alzheimer's disease,
according to the Alzheimer's Association's 2011 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures.9
By 2050, this is expected to jump to 16 million,
and in the next 20 years it is projected that Alzheimer's will affect one in four Americans.
You do not, however, have to feel powerless against this disease,
as [although there is no known cure as of yet ]
there are simple strategies available to significantly lower your risk.
Some of the best strategies for Alzheimer's prevention, aside from avoiding excess iron, include:
- Reduce Fructose/sugars.
- Most everyone benefits from keeping their total fructose consumed to below 25 grams per day. Fructose has several modes of neurotoxicity, including causing damage to the circulatory system upon which the health of nervous system depends, as well as changing the brain's craving mechanism. Since the average person is exceeding this recommendation by 300% this is a pervasive and serious issue. I view this as the MOST important step you can take. Additionally, when your liver is busy processing fructose (which your liver turns into fat), it severely hampers its ability to make cholesterol, an essential building block of the brain crucial to its health.
- This is yet another important facet that explains how and why excessive fructose consumption
- is so detrimental to your health.
- Improve Magnesium Levels.
- There is some exciting preliminary research strongly suggesting a decrease in Alzheimer symptoms with increase levels of magnesium in the brain. Unfortunately most magnesium supplements do not pass the blood brain levels, but a new one magnesium threonate appears to do and holds some promise for the future for treating this condition.
- Optimize your vitamin D levels with safe sun exposure.
- Strong links between low levels of vitamin D in Alzheimer's patients10and poor outcomes on cognitive tests have been revealed. Researchers believe that optimal vitamin D levels may enhance the amount of important chemicals in your brain and protect brain cells by increasing the effectiveness of the glial cells in nursing damaged neurons back to health. Vitamin D may also exert some of its beneficial effects on Alzheimer's through its anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Sufficient vitamin D is imperative for proper functioning of your immune system to combat inflammation that is also associated with Alzheimer's.
- Keep your fasting insulin levels below 3.
- This is related to sugars/fructose, leading to insulin problems.
- However other sugars, grains and lack of exercise are also important factors.
- Vitamin B12:
- According to a small Finnish study recently published in the journal Neurology,11 people who consume foods rich in B12 may reduce their risk of Alzheimer's in their later years. For each unit increase in the marker of vitamin B12 (holotranscobalamin) the risk of developing Alzheimer's was reduced by 2 percent. Very high doses of B vitamins have also been found to treat Alzheimer's disease and reduce memory loss.
- Eat a nutritious diet, rich in folate,
- such as the one described in my nutrition plan. Strict vegetarian diets have been shown to increase your Alzheimer's risk, 12 whereas diets high in omega-3's lower your risk.13 However, vegetables, without question, are your best form of folate, and we should all eat plenty of fresh raw veggies every day.
- High-quality animal based omega-3 fats,
- such as krill oil. (avoid most fish because although fish is naturally high in omega-3, most fish are now severely contaminated with mercury.) High intake of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA help by preventing cell damage caused by Alzheimer's disease, thereby slowing down its progression, and lowering your risk of developing the disorder. Researchers have also said DHA "dramatically reduces the impact of the Alzheimer's gene." PLUS use coconutoil.com/coconut-oil-research-alzheimers
- Avoid and remove mercury from your body.
- Dental amalgam fillings are one of the major sources of mercury, however you should be healthy prior to having them removed. Once you have adjusted to following the diet described in my optimized nutrition plan, you can follow the mercury detox protocol and then find a biological dentist to have your amalgams removed.
- Avoid aluminum, such as antiperspirants, non-stick cookware, vaccine adjuvants, etc.
- Mercury: Get This Heavy-Metal Poison Out of Your Body
- Avoid flu vaccinations -
- this could be one of the most important measures to take
- as most contain both mercury and aluminum!
- scroll down here ~ Autism-ADHD and learn about Immunisation.
- There is concern that Alzheimers has increased since flu vaccinations increased.
- The Dangers of the Medical Industrial Complex
The doctor against our wishes gave her the flu shot.
Since then she has been having seizures and now has to wear a pacemaker/defibrilator.
This would never have happened if all the information about vaccines and drugs was made known….
- Exercise regularly.
- It's been suggested that exercise can trigger a change in the way the amyloid precursor protein is metabolized,14 thus, slowing down the onset and progression of Alzheimer's. Exercise also increases levels of the protein PGC-1alpha. Research has also shown that people with Alzheimer's have less PGC-1alpha in their brains,15 and cells that contain more of the protein produce less of the toxic amyloid protein associated with Alzheimer's. I would strongly recommend reviewing thePeak Fitness Technique for my specific recommendations.
- Eat plenty of blueberries.
- Wild blueberries, which have high anthocyanin and antioxidant content, are known to guard against Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
- Challenge your mind daily.
- Mental stimulation, especially learning something new, such as learning to play an instrument or a new language, is associated with a decreased risk of Alzheimer's. Researchers suspect that mental challenge helps to build up your brain, making it less susceptible to the lesions associated with Alzheimer's disease.
- Avoid anticholinergic and statin drugs.
- Drugs that block acetylcholine, a nervous system neurotransmitter,
- have been shown to increase your risk of dementia.
- These drugs include certain nighttime pain relievers, antihistamines,
- sleep aids, certain antidepressants,
- medications to control incontinence, and certain narcotic pain relievers. A study found that those who took drugs classified as 'definite anticholinergics'
- had a four times higher incidence of cognitive impairment.16
- Regularly taking two of these drugs further increased the risk of cognitive impairment.
- Statin drugs are particularly problematic because they suppress the synthesis of cholesterol,
- deplete the brain of coenzyme Q10 and neurotransmitter precursors,
- and prevent adequate delivery of essential fatty acids and fat-soluble antioxidants to the brain
- by inhibiting the production of the indispensable carrier biomolecule known as low-density lipoprotein.
- Get good SLEEP

Plus special notes on sleep apnea-dementia connection.
- Identify risk factors for Alzheimer's disease, such as
- physical inactivity, depression, and smoking.
- Midlife hypertension/high bloodpressure, obesity,

Is There Any Help for Those Already Affected?
Alzheimer's disease is currently at epidemic levels.
In the United States, someone develops this disease every 69 seconds,
and by 2050 this is expected to increase to a new case every 33 seconds,
according to the Alzheimer's Association's 2011 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures.
Unfortunately, existing treatments are often of little to no benefit whatsoever.
For instance, a recent study on Memantine (brand name Namenda), a widely used Alzheimer's drug,
showed no improvement in patients' mental function or their ability to perform everyday tasks compared to placebo. Even among moderate to severe Alzheimer's patients, for which the drug is approved to treat,
the researchers found only "meager" improvements.
Again, because of the very limited treatments, and no available cure as of yet, for Alzheimer's,
I strongly suggest you take every step you can to prevent it from happening to you in the first place.
But for those already affected, there are a couple of strategies to consider:
coconutoil.com/coconut-oil-research-alzheimers
It's interesting to note, too, that your brain requires regular challenges to stay fit, just like your muscles.
Whether you have a form of dementia or are interested in prevention,
it would be wise to engage yourself in mentally challenging activities on a regular basis,
whether that be taking a continuing education course, learning a new hobby, or traveling.
As reported by CNN, Dr. Steven DeKosky, vice president, dean of Uni of Virginia's School of Medicine,
said at an Alzheimer's forum at the National Press Foundation:
"We know that highly intelligent people have more tolerance to plaque buildup
and to loss of energy in their brains than people with lower levels of intelligence and less education.
Their brain basically fights it off and finds some other ways to get the things done."
So mental challenge may be another key to the puzzle; fortunately, "working out" your brain
is easy to do and can add interest, enjoyment, and fulfillment to your life at the same time.

But for those already affected, there are a couple of strategies to consider:
- Alpha Lipoic Acid: A powerful antioxidant and one of the most effective free radical scavengers, in one study of patients with Alzheimer's disease, those given 600 mg of alpha lipoic acid daily for 12 months had a stabilization of cognitive function. A follow-up study, which increased the number of patients in the study and extended the observation period to 48 months, showed the progression of the disease was "dramatically lower" among those taking alpha lipoic acid, compared to those with no treatment or those taking choline-esterase inhibitor drugs.
- Curcumin: The pigment that gives turmeric its yellow color, curcumin helps inhibit the accumulation of destructive beta amyloids in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, as well as break up existing plaques.
Researchers determined:- Curcumin is more effective in inhibiting the formation of the protein fragments than many other potential Alzheimer's treatments
- The low molecular weight and polar structure of curcumin allows it to penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively and bind to beta amyloid
- Alzheimer's symptoms caused by inflammation and oxidation are eased by curcumin's powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties
- This can also be used preventively.

- Coconut Oil: According to Dr. Mary Newport, D.M, whose husband was stricken with Alzheimer's disease, coconut oil may be KEY for not only preventing but even reversing this disease.
- Certain cells in the brains of those with Alzheimer's become increasingly unable to use their primary energy source, glucose.
- Without fuel, these brain cells die, contributing to the mental degeneration.
- But there's an alternative source of energy, known as ketones.
Your body produces ketones naturally when you deprive it of carbohydrates, and you can boost ketone production by consuming medium-chain triglycerides, such as coconut oil. - Can Ketone Bodies from Coconut Oil Cure or Prevent Alzheimer’s?
