Alzheimer's Disease: There is Hope!

In our magic-bullet society where physicians and patients alike are programmed to turn to the pharmaceutical industry to cure our ills, it appears that we have come up empty-handed when confronted by alzheimer's and dementia. In the June 1999 issue of Archives of Neurology, the lack of usefulness of any of these drugs was eloquently described in a guest Editorial by Dr. William Pryse-Phillips. 

Epidemiologic studies have shown that Alzheimer's patients have a higher level of aluminum in their brain than do healthy people. Particularly high levels have been found in the beta-amyloid deposits which are so characteristic of the disease. Aluminum is known to be highly toxic to brain neurons and recent research has shown that it can cause amyloid fibrils to aggregate into structures resembling neurofibrillary tangles. Canadian studies have found a direct correlation between the aluminum content of drinking water and the incidence of Alzheimer's disease. Although some medical doctors still question the aluminum link there seems to be growing consensus that aluminum is somehow involved, if not in the initiation of the disease, then at least in accelerating its progression.

The level of mercury in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients is significantly elevated and it is now accepted that chronic low level mercury poisoning may be a significant factor in the development of Alzheimer's disease. The level of mercury in the brain has been found to be proportional to the number of amalgam fillings in the teeth

Exposure to high levels of electromagnetic radiation has been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease as have severe head injuries and a family history of Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease.

Vitamin deficiencies have been implicated in the development of Alzheimer's disease. A vitamin B-12 deficiency is particularly serious as it can mimic the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and may even progress to Alzheimer's disease itself. One recent study found that 40% of elderly Americans suffers from a vitamin B-12 deficiency. People who have had surgery for stomach ulcers are particularly prone to a vitamin B-12 deficiency. Lack of vitamins A, E, and beta-carotene has also been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease. British researchers found that Alzheimer's disease patients admitted to a London hospital had only half the vitamin E level in their blood as did healthy, matched controls. The patients' beta-carotene levels were four times lower than that of the controls.

The Alzheimer's Association has developed a list of ten warning signs of Alzheimer's disease:

    * Memory loss that affects job skills.
    * Difficulty in performing familiar tasks.
    * Problems with language.
    * Confusion about time and place.
    * Poor or diminished judgment.
    * Problems with abstract thinking.
    * Misplacing of things.
    * Changes in mood or behavior.
    * Changes in personality.
    * Loss of initiative.

Alzheimer's: Drugs may do more damage than the disease - Alzheimer's patients can quickly lose their verbal skills – but researchers fear it may have more to do with the anti-psychotic drugs they’re routinely given than the disease itself. The drugs may make the condition worse, researchers have discovered, and they don't seem to offer any long-term benefits. Around 60 per cent of Alzheimer’s patients are put on an anti-psychotic, even in the early stages of the disease, in order to control behaviour such as aggression. This effect has earned the drugs the epithet of “the chemical cosh”. The drugs can cause a serious deterioration within six months, and new research is exploring the suspicion that the drugs are also increasing the death rate among Alzheimer’s sufferers. Researchers from King’s College London and the Universities of Oxford and Newcastle made the discovery when they observed the progress of 165 Alzheimer’s patients in care homes. The anti-psychotics reviewed by the research study were thioridazine (Melleril), chlorpromazine (Largactil), haloperidol (Serenace), trifluoperazine (Stelazine) and risperidone (Risperdal).

'Memory Herb' and Alzheimer's Patients

Transfer Factor Re-Call is formulated to give the brain the support it needs. This complete formula promotes healthy immune and oxygen functions, supporting the brain's ability to operate at a more efficient mode and direct energy toward the most critical need. Transfer factors are tiny messenger molecules that transmit immunity information from one entity to another, such as between a mother and her breastfeeding infant.

Transfer Factor Re-Call targets the superior immune-enhancing benefits of transfer factors to directly support the brain and central nervous system. Targeted Transfer Factor lends important support to keep inflammation at normal and healthy levels within the brain and central nervous system. This product contains Vinpocetine promotes healthy circulation and oxygen utilization in the brain; Glycerophosphocholine and Huperzia serrata (Huperzine A) to  support alertness, mental agility, and recall; (Huperzine A works by helping inhibit the enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine, an important brain chemical for learning and memory); Bacopa monnieri supports healthy neurons in the brain for normal memory and cognitive function; Lemon Balm Extract and Gingko biloba Extract. where to buy...

Ginkgo biloba, an herb touted as a memory booster, shows promise in treating Alzheimer's disease, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggests. Previous studies have shown that ginkgo improves blood flow to the brain. The plant extract, popular in Europe, has become widely available at health, food and drug stores in the United States. In Europe, there is now a large and convincing body of evidence showing how the herb Ginkgo biloba will help boost memory and brain function, as long as the patient takes it for several months. German researchers, for example, found that giving people who had been diagnosed with memory and learning problems ginkgo biloba significantly improved their memory skills after six weeks, and dramatically increased their ability to learn after five months. Ginkgo biloba were found to benefit cognitive, (which means learning, memory, and knowing things) function, within three months. In fact, Ginkgo is so effective that some scientists now suggest everyone over 40 should take a daily dose to help prevent the slow but inevitable decline of brainpower that is a feature of ageing. In Germany, Ginkgo is the most widely prescribed herb, as it is considered to be as effective as drug treatments used for treating Alzheimer’s disease and other severe forms of memory and mental function decline. Ginkgo Biloba is a powerful herb from the Far East and has been grown in temple gardens for millions of years. Its medicinal properties have only been discovered by the West during the last 20 years, where clinical studies have indicated its effectiveness in restoring the functioning of the circulatory system and improving blood flow to the brain. 

"My 11 year old has been in a special needs school for the last 3 years, due to severe memory loss caused from seizures. Since taking Marine Phytoplankton my son no longer needs to take medication and his memory is as good as it ever was."

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. Its antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer. Both high levels of saccharides and adaptogens increase energy and stamina by improving our ability to consume and use oxygen. Adaptogens also improve cardiovascular health by strengthening the heart and circulation.  more about marine phytoplankton's healing power

REPORT OF TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMERS DISEASE WITH APHANIZOMENON FLOS-AQUA
by Gabriel Cousens, M.D.

Presently there is a common belief that there is no cure or even amelioration for the degenerative process called Alzheimer's Disease. Having personally experienced and witnessed in my patients the brain function enhancing qualities of a blue-green algae named aphanizomenon flos-aqua, I was interested when I read some reports of its effects on Alzheimers Disease. This algae is particularly high in active neurotransmitters and appeared to have positive therapeutic results in people whose general mental functioning seemed sluggish.

For my experiment I chose two individuals who had well documented Alzheimer's Disease. They had obvious deficient mental functioning. Each month, besides my notes, the mate of each of the patients was asked to fill out a questionnaire covering thought process, memory function, ability to focus, judgment, perception, emotions, ability to care for oneself, and sleep function. Each section had several categories to be evaluated from 1 to 10 for a total of 28 questions. Each case has been followed for 12 months.

The first case is a 66-year-old women with a seven-year history of Alzheimer's; the last five of which were thoroughly diagnosed in 1978 and followed at Stanford Medical Center. She had also been through oral choline and I.V. chelation therapy without any effect on her deteriorating state.

On initial exam she revealed a significant aphasia. She seemed unable to express her thoughts in words; her long and short tern memory was significantly degenerated; she had great difficulty focusing on the present situation. In essence she seemed absent. She also had a severe Parkinson-like tremor, had much difficulty in walking a straight line and tilted to the right.

According to the report from her husband, she was completely unable to take care of herself or even dress herself. The husband seemed hopefully pessimistic. After one month of taking the blue green algae some decrease in the aphasia was clearly discernible. A glimmer of awareness seemed to have returned to her eyes. Some of the hand tremors had also decreased. She was also able to put on an apron and tie it - something she had not done for months. She also seemed to be able to express her feelings more. By two months, her communication improved and she was able to watch TV and
understand what was happening.

By six months, her husband and I both agreed on our subjective experience that her spirit, humor, and sense of awareness had significantly improved. She was now able to work intellectually with the environment. Her short term memory had improved. The aphasia had significantly improved over the past six months, but had seemed to level off in the last month. Her attention span had improved to the point that she could sit for several hours listening to music. Her judgment, reasoning ability, and clarity of thinking had significantly improved. There was no change in her long term memory. On the physical level, she had moved from not being able to dress herself to being able to put her clothes on, although sometimes backwards. She was able
to walk a straight line and stand almost straight.

At 12 months, some slight improvement in these areas was noted. Her course at this point, after relatively rapid improvement in six months, seems to be a very gradual improving situation.

The second case involved a 64-year-old lawyer from the Midwest who was diagnosed as having Alzheimer's in 1982 after a series of neurological and
psychological tests. Before he had come for diagnosis his intellectual functioning and memory had significantly decreased. He could no longer perform his work, or remember what transpired beyond 15 minutes, and his IQ was measured at 92, significantly below that of the average lawyer.

He was put on the same protocol of the blue-green algae as the first case. After one month his wife noted a cessation of the degenerative process. After 12 month, she has noted no further obvious degeneration, yet no significant return of lost function. The wife of the patient is quite pleased with the results and feels the basis of a solid husband-wife relationship has been preserved.

Two thoroughly documented cases have been reported: one showing some significant return of function and the other showing cessation of progressive degeneration from Alzheimer's. These preliminary results suggest that Alzheimers may be a degenerative process that indeed may be halted and possibly at least partially reversed by the use of aphizominon flos-aqua.

Essential Fatty Acids deficiency and Alzheimer

Brain health dramatically improved by intake of omega-3 fatty acids and fish oils

Among various organs, in the brain, the fatty acids most extensively studied are omega-3 fatty acids. Alpha-linolenic acid (18:3omega3) deficiency alters the structure and function of membranes and induces minor cerebral dysfunctions, as demonstrated in animal models and subsequently in human infants. Even though the brain is materially an organ like any other, that is to say elaborated from substances present in the diet (sometimes exclusively), for long it was not accepted that food can have an influence on brain structure, and thus on its function.

Lipids, and especially omega-3 fatty acids, provided the first coherent experimental demonstration of the effect of diet (nutrients) on the structure and function of the brain. In fact the brain, after adipose tissue, is the organ richest in lipids, whose only role is to participate in membrane structure. First it was shown that the differentiation and functioning of cultured brain cells requires not only alpha-linolenic acid (the major component of the omega-3, omega3 family), but also the very long omega-3 and omega-6 carbon chains (1). It was then demonstrated that alpha-linolenic acid deficiency alters the course of brain development, perturbs the composition and physicochemical properties of brain cell membranes, neurones, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes (2).This leads to physicochemical modifications, induces biochemical and physiological perturbations, and results in neurosensory and behavioural upset (3).

Consequently, the nature of polyunsaturated fatty acids (in particular omega-3) present in formula milks for infants (premature and term) conditions the visual and cerebral abilities, including intellectual. Moreover, dietary omega-3 fatty acids are certainly involved in the prevention of some aspects of cardiovascular disease (including at the level of cerebral vascularization), and in some neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly depression, as well as in dementia, notably Alzheimer's disease. Recent results have shown that dietary alpha-linolenic acid deficiency induces more marked abnormalities in certain cerebral structures than in others, as the frontal cortex and pituitary gland are more severely affected. These selective lesions are accompanied by behavioural disorders more particularly affecting certain tests (habituation, adaptation to new situations). Biochemical and behavioural abnormalities are partially reversed by a dietary phospholipid supplement, especially omega-3-rich egg yolk extracts or pig brain. A dose-effect study showed that animal phospholipids are more effective than plant phospholipids to reverse the consequences of alpha-linolenic acid deficiency, partly because they provide very long preformed chains.

James Scala PHD - "Fish supplies omega-3 oils, and among them is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), essential for brain and eye tissue development (specifically the retina) in infants; it remains fundamental to those tissues throughout life. Current research focuses on these oils—often woefully short, if not deficient, in modern diets—as one cause of attention deficit disorder. Once more, modern research is validating folk wisdom—fish really is brain food."

"The basic building blocks of our brain cells are essential fatty acids such as EPA and DHA from fish oil. These fatty acids are also used as fuel for brain metabolism and help control the chronic inflammatory processes involved in degenerative brain disorders." Disease Prevention And Treatment by Life Extension Foundation, page 22   more about Brain health and omega-3 fatty acids

A study conducted by Uppsala University in Sweden looked at the effect of Omega 3 fatty acids on patients who already had Alzheimer's disease. Researchers gave 89 patients the Omega 3 fatty acids Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) for a period of 6 months and another 85 were given a placebo in the form of corn oil. After the initial 6-month period, the placebo group also switched to Omega 3 for a further 6 months. Although there was no real differences noted between the two groups in general, there was an interesting result where 32 patients who had milder mental impairment showed less of a decline whilst taking Omega 3. more on the Omega 3 role in health

THE IMPACT OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS ON THE BRAIN
by Rashid A. Buttar, D0, and Andrew Halpner, PhD (International Journal of Integrative Medicine, Vo3, No 2, Aug/Sep 2001)

For normal functioning, the human body generates most of the fat it requires from fatty acids it derives from the breakdown of carbohydrates (ie, starches and sugars). However, the human system is incapable of producing two "essential" fatty acids from carbohydrates. These fatty acids are known collectively as essential fatty acids (EFAs). They are most prevalent in certain types of oils but can be found at low concentrations in virtually all types of food. more

Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-inflammatory
by Joseph Maroon, Ph.D.

Did you know that the root cause of serious chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis, and asthma has been identified as chronic inflammation? Although numerous studies have confirmed these findings, few physcians are aware of or consider the fact that the battle against inflammation is at the forefront of the fight for health and well-being of the global population. Authors Joseph Maroon and Jeffrey Bost have set out to reverse that trend with "Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-Inflammatory." Ultra-Refined Fish Oil

Pharmaceujtical companies have spent billions of dollars in an attempt to understand the bio-chemistry of inflammation. Unfortunately, pharmaceutical anit-inflammatories such as Celebrex, Vioxx, and Bextra have been shown to greatly increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, and uncontrollable gastric hemorrhage, with potentially fatal consequences. Is there a safer alternative? Absolutiely! The answer lies in the power of the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, undeniably the most under-recognized and also the most petent natural anti-inflammatory available. With compelling arguments and the results of thousands of clinical studies to support them. the uathors explain in plain and simple terms; How the inflammation process works and how it can evolve into a chroninc condition that is the cause of many diseases; How fatty acids work in the body; Why supplementtion with omega-3 fatty acids can restore the body's balance and mitigate the effects of inflmmatory factors; and why fish oil is the best source of omega-3 fatty acids, and how to identify good-quality fish oil supplements. 

Joseph C Maroon. M.D.,is a professor and vice chairman of the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He is also a Heindl Scholar in Neuroscience as well as the team neurosurgeon to the world-champion Pittsburgh Steelers. His publications numbr more than 250, and he is a reviewer on five medical journals and an editorial board member of "Neurological Research." Jeffrey Bost is a neurosurgical physician assistant and clinical instructor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. He has coauthored many presentations, articles, and grants exploring the use of omega-3 fatty acids.

Green juice is my lifeline 
by Shirley (author of this website)

To maintain my excellent health and vitality I drink daily 6 to 8 ounces of freshly pressed mixture of wheatgrass, parsley, cilantro, and bitter-melon-vines juice. I mix in one tablespoon of bee pollen. one ounce of  fulvic minerals ,  one ounce of marine phytoplankton, 3 ounces of Goji juice (rich in glyconutrients) and 1/4 teaspoon of shilajit. I grow my own wheatgrass in flats by my windows. Wheatgrass played a major role in my health recovery of severe lifelong illnesses. I use the Handcrank juicer (rust proof stainless steel) specifically designed to get the maximum juice from leafy plants or grass. (most other juicers shred the grass or leaf causing a huge mess and no juice.) Shirley step by step what I do everyday to detoxify my blood and to maintain optimum health and vitality

Scientists theorize that mineral deficiency subjects us to more diseases, aging, sickness and destruction of our physical well-being than any other factor in personal health. marine phytoplankton and fulvic acids consist of an immense arsenal and array of naturally occuring powerful phytochemicals, biochemicals, supercharged antioxidants, free-radical scavengers, super oxide dismutases, nutrients, enzymes, hormones, amino acids, antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, etc. Marine phytoplankton and Fulvic Acids greatly enhance the bioavailability of important trace minerals. Regenerate and prolong the residence time of essential nutrients in the cells. Modify the damage or toxic compounds such as heavy metals and free radicals. Enhance the permeability for digestive, circulatory, and cell membranes. Increase the activity of a multitude of enzymes. Fulvic Acid can also be known as nature's electrolyte. It charges and restores the potential that is or once was normal to the cell, and in doing so, balances and super charges cellular life. (do not confuse "fulvic acid"  with  "folic acid"  which is a common B vitamin).

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D. says that marine phytoplankton contains almost everything one needs to sustain life and to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. Marine phytoplankton has been called "the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet". Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body.

Glyconutrients the Missing Nutrient? 

"My husband has Alzheimers in addition to physical illnesses.  Several months ago, he was hospitalized with a suspected infection. He was unable to walk and could not feed himself.  After a week of medical work ups and a week of rehab  he was discharged with the expectation that he would need around the clock nursing.  My fear was that his brain was not sending messages to his body to perform normal functions. We started drinking Goji Juice, and he is now walking unaided, attends Adult Day Care three days a week, is no longer incontinent and can get in and out of chairs without his booster. Yesterday, we received a copy of his latest labs.  He has had sluggish kidneys and I expected dialysis was in his future, however, he now has normal kidney function and his diabetes is controlled. Glyconutrients has exceeded my expectations and made my life easier.  I am so grateful." Carolyn H.

"My Mother is 82 years old and she has had Senile Dementia for the last 7 years. Dementia, a progressive brain dysfunction, leads to a gradually increasing restriction of daily activities. The most well-known type of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. We have tried the drugs from the Doctor and holistic means to try and slow down the progression of the disease. A few months ago she had to be hospitalized because she stopped eating and couldn't get out of bed. The doctors said she was in the last stages of the disease and they didn't have much else to offer except drugs to control behavior.  We brought her home to be around family for whatever time she had left. She was only taking sips of liquid and small amounts of soft food. I heard about glyconutrients from a friend and I started her drinking it.  She responded right away. She is up every day now with a healthy appetite and is much more alert. She doesn't get the extreme agitation anymore or try to wander off. She can talk and understand much better now. I'm a nurse and I have worked with people with Dementia and Alzheimer's. I have never seen anything reverse the symptoms of these types of diseases. Her quality of life is so much better. I hope that other people that have family members that are going through this will try Glyconutrients." Vivien M., Palm Bay, FL

6/10/2006 follow up:
This is a follow up for those who have asked how my Mother who has Dementia is doing.  She is doing great. She is still home with us and has been drinking glyconutrients for ten months now. She loves to sing hymns; she dances around the house to Calypso music (she's Jamaican) for exercise.  Her appetite is still very good and she enters into conversations at dinner.  I have no doubt that without Glyconutrients she would either be in the Alzheimer's ward of a nursing home or not with us at all. We are very grateful." Vivien M., Palm Bay, FL

In July 2005, the Los Angeles Times wrote an article titled "Lycium (Go-ji's latin name) May Repress Some Cancer Cells." In August 2005 The Department of Anatomy at the University of Hong Kong published another scientific study regarding go-ji and Alzheimer's disease. In September 2005 the Department of Pathology at Guangzhou University in China completed a study regarding go-ji and cancer.

In Asia, the Goji berry has been used as a primary allergy therapy for centuries. The noted ethnobotanist, Dr. James A. Duke, classifies Goji as an immunomodulator - an enhancing substance that can balance and normalize abnormal immune system.

Homeopathy can Improve Alzheimer’s Disease (also dementia, Memory Loss, Confusion - Restoring Cognitive Abilities)

Whether they are suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease or other forms of dementia, often homeopathy can, at least to a degree, help. It usually will not cure, but will often slow the decline and make their life much happier. Here is one case to give you an idea how this works:

Ruth was a woman in her early 70’s who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Stage 3. She had moderate level of memory loss and confusion. She talked of her fears of what was happening to her and what lay ahead. Her main concerns though were of her past life. She described a life of many hurts. Of people doing things that emotionally made her feel very bad. Of feeling alone and sorry for herself. Of all the love she felt but couldn’t always express. Of her headaches and arthritis pains.

Based upon this and many other symptoms we gave him a dose of Natrum Sulphuricum (note this was the right remedy for her but the possibility of it being the right remedy for another person with Alzheimer’s is very low). By one month she was much happier. Her memory was much better for both the past and the present. She was much less tired. She said that she felt better than she had in years. She no longer felt so dragged down by the past.

Over the next 10 years there was a very slow gradual decline into dementia but much slower than average for Alzheimer’s patients. Whenever she didn’t feel as good she took a dose of her remedy which lifted her up for weeks. Despite the decline she was happier than she had ever been in her life. The remedy helped her memory, health and happiness tremendously and slowed but did not stop the development of the disease.

In this example you see the difference between homeopathy and other approaches for treatment of Alzheimer’s. After the right remedy we expect to see everything getting better in the person’s life. In some very early stage Alzheimer’s cases we can see complete cure. More often we see improvements as in this example. Learn more about homeopathy

US Government Agencies Say Fluoride in Drinking Water Increases Toxicity of Aluminum

In 1994, the New York Times reported a scientific study which revealed that aluminum and fluoride in water could be responsible for the alarming increase in Alzheimer's Disease and percentile dementia.

This confirmed the long-held suspicion of environmental writer George Glasser that fluoride has the ability to act synergistically with other toxic minerals in drinking water. Glasser, currently on speaking engagements in England, said:

"For years I badgered various US government agencies to investigate this specific activity between fluoride and other substances, which is commonly seen in medicines. Aluminum sulfate (alum) is used to clarify drinking water and I could see the possible relationship with Alzheimer's-like dementia."

Said Glasser,

"In 1999, the US Environmental Protection Agency finally reviewed three studies carried out by scientists at Binghamton University. The scientists reported 80% death rates, kidney damage and brain damage in rats exposed to half of one milligram of aluminum fluoride complexes in a litre of drinking water. This is less than half of the amount of fluoride which is added in fluoridation schemes.

Finally, the National Toxicology Program was asked to commission studies to determine the extent of neurotoxic damage from aluminum in drinking water, particularly stressing the fluoride interaction."

Last October, a Report by the National Institutes of Environmental Heath Sciences (NIEHS) acknowledged that fluoride has been observed to have synergistic effects on the toxicity of aluminum

"I was particularly pleased when the US Environmental Protection Agency report by Urbansky and Schock on the toxicity of lead and fluoride in drinking water confirmed that fluoride complexes with other substances in the water.

They also acknowledged that most drinking water contains a substantial amount of fluoro-aluminium complexes. This should be a warning to dentists who hold with the simplistic notion that fluoride only affects teeth and is perfectly safe in drinking water."

According to the NIEHS Report, most water treatment processes result in increased levels of aluminum in the finished drinking water.

It stated that fluoridation will result in aluminum fluoride complexes which will enhance neurotoxicity, or that fluoride itself will enhance uptake and synergise the toxicity of the aluminum

Other studies have shown that in the presence of fluoride, aluminum leaches out of cookware. Boiling fluoridated tap water in an aluminum pan leached almost 200 parts per million (ppm) of aluminum into the water in 10 minutes.

Leaching of up to 600 PPM occurred with prolonged boiling. Different releases of aluminum depend upon the composition of the pan and the type of food being cooked. Using non-fluoridated water showed almost no leaching from aluminum pans.

Glasser is frustrated that the Report recommended further studies.

"There are more than 40,000 studies on fluoride in the scientific literature. How many more do they need? The recent York review examined less than 300 - and they never bothered to review the Binghamton University studies.

The incidence of Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's-like dementia is hitting people at much younger ages. The average age used to be 65 - now, it affects people in their forties in ever-increasing numbers.

With these revelations, health authorities have a moral obligation to employ the precautionary principle and cease the practice of artificial fluoridation forthwith. In the meantime, six million people in England and about 160 million in the United States drink artificially fluoridated water. "

Water Fluoridation Alert!

Respected Medical Professionals and Scientists are warning that water fluoridation has dangerous long-term consequences to health. For over 50 years, the U.S. government and media have trumpeted fluoride as a safe and effective means of reducing cavities, especially in children. But fluoride is not the benevolent and innocuous substance the public has been led to believe.

"I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable."Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the American Medical Association

"Fluoridation ... it is the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated and it has been perpetrated on more people than any other fraud has."Professor Albert Schatz, Ph.D. (Microbiology), Discoverer of streptomycin and Nobel Prize Winner

98% Of Western Europe Has Rejected Water Fluoridation. This includes Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. The predominant reason for Europe's rejection is the belief that public drinking water is NOT the appropriate vehicle with which to deliver medication to a population. India, and Japan have either rejected or banned its use in recent years. learn more about the health disasters caused by fluoride

Dr. Steve Nugent  - "Without exception, every North American now has in his or her tissues 300-500 known toxins that were not in existence before 1940. So, where has all the poison come from? Shortages of natural materials during WWII prompted the creation of synthetic chemicals. For example, scientists developed nylon when they ran out of silk for parachutes. Natural rubber ran in short supply, so they developed synthetic rubber. A shortage of butter produced oleomargarine. Plastics were developed during this time period. Toxins are everywhere. The problem is not confined to North America, although the studies have been done in the USA and Canada. Because of the nature of wind, rain and weather, we know that the entire planet is surrounded with toxins. Almost every known toxin and farm pesticide on the planet can be found in places as remote as the North Pole. Scientists doing studies there drilled through the polar ice cap, sank a camera through the pole, and found nearly a foot of brownish greenish goop that, similar to many industrial chemicals, refused to freeze. Contained in the muck were DDT, dioxin, and PCB's as well as hundreds of other chemicals. Ours is a closed eco-system....which we cannot escape.  The studies identify up to 500 toxins. It should be known that the instruments were calibrated for up to a maximum of 500 toxins " 

Dr. Ted H Spence, DDS, ND, PhD/DSc, MPH - "Detoxification comes in many forms and refers to many different programs that cleanse the body of toxins. Today, our environment is toxic and the foods we eat, even the air we breathe and the water we drink is laden with chemicals foreign to our system. Therefore, everyone is undergoing some type of detoxification to maintain life and health. Although basic detoxification begins with diet, detox programs may include nutritional fortification for the liver, lungs, kidneys, bowels and blood.  Detoxification for the body may refer to the cleansing of the bowels, kidneys, lungs, the liver or the blood, since these are the organs involved in detoxification of chemicals and toxins from the body. The liver acts as an in-line filter for the removal of foreign substances and wastes from the blood. The kidneys filter wastes from the blood into the urine, while the lungs remove volatile gases as we breathe." more

Water The Great Healer and Detoxifier! 

Water therapy has been used for centuries to heal the sick.  Hydro- and hydrothermal therapy are traditional methods of treatment that have been used for the treatment of disease and injury by many cultures, including those of ancient Rome, China, and Japan. The ancient Greeks took therapeutic baths. Water is an important ingredient in the traditional Chinese and Native American healing systems. more

F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. - "Every function inside the body is regulated by and depends on water. Water must be available to carry vital elements, oxygen, hormones, and chemical messengers to all parts of the body. Without sufficient water to wet all parts equally, some more remote parts of the body will not receive the vital elements that water supplies. Water is also needed to carry toxic waste away from the cells. In fact, there are at least 50 reasons why the body needs sufficient water on a regular, everyday basis. Without sufficient water to constantly wet all parts, your body's drought-management system kicks into action. The histamine-directed chemical messenger systems are activated to arrange a new, lower quota of water for the drought-stricken areas. When histamine and its subordinate "drought managers" come across pain-sensing nerves, they cause pain. This is what I discovered in my research that I mentioned earlier." 

Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi, M.D.  - " Water has the ability to attract and accumulate bio-energy. It also stores an energy memory of harmful or helpful vibrations to which it was exposed in the past.  Chlorinated tap water is polluted with non-biological chemicals and negative energy imprints. It is also devoid of bio-energy and so may be regarded as being badly polluted as well as 'dead'. Alkaline living water is regarded by a growing number of health care professionals as the best water to drink and is listed as a medical device in Japan for the treatment of degenerative diseases." Benefits of Alkaline, Ionized Water

Joseph M. Price, MD - "Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times. It is an insidious poison."

Albert Schatz, Ph.D - "Fluoridation  is the greatest fraud that has ever been perpetrated and it has been perpetrated on more people than any other fraud has." Professor Albert Schatz, Ph.D. (Microbiology), Discoverer of streptomycin and Nobel Prize Winner

Matthew Silver, MD  - "An associate in her early fifties who had suffered for many years from the toxic effects of chlorine poisoning from inhaling vapors from an over-chlorinated swimming pool. This had resulted in many severe health challenges including extreme chronic fatigue and breathing difficulty that kept her housebound and dependent on oxyn. Even minimal exertion led to extreme shortness of breath. After just three days of drinking glyconutrients, she reported that all of her symptoms improved dramatically and that she was able to leave her house without oxygen and work in her garden, which she had not been able to do in years."  The sugars found on all Glyconutrients (saccharides) also address the workings of the brain and nervous system – from memory and sleep to anxiety and depression.

Safe, toxin-free, Ionized, Energized, Drinking Water helps to naturally flush toxins and acidic waste from the body and is a powerful antioxidant. Ionized Water makes more oxygen available to our cells than distilled, reverse osmosis, filtered only, bottled or tap water and is the best possible drinking water. "Disease and early death is more likely to be seen with the long term drinking of purified water. Avoid it except in special circumstances." Zoltan P. Rona M.D

Alzheimer's disease: The Role of Mercury in Dental Fillings

A study showing a possible link between mercury exposure and some forms of non familial or sporadic Alzheimer's Disease has recently been published. This study by was done by a group of Swiss researchers and published in the Journal of Neurochemistry, a prestigious peer reviewed, neuroscience journal. The Swiss researchers showed that exposure of neuroblastoma cells in culture to extremely low levels (180 nanomolar or 180 x 10-9 molar) of mercuric cation (Hg2+) produces all the classical cellular biochemical lesions found in the Alzheimer's Diseased brain. 

The "silver" fillings in your teeth - Dental Amalgams - are still widely used by the dental profession in most parts of the world. The "Amalgam" consists of a mix of metals - Generally 50% Mercury, 35% Silver, 15% Tin and other metals. But is it safe to put so much Mercury, the most toxic non-radioactive metal known to man, into the mouth of a person? There is now a growing mountain of evidence that it is NOT safe to do so. Some countries, like Sweden, Canada and Germany, have either banned or imposed serious limitations on Amalgam usage. There is now compelling evidence from reputable scientific bodies such as the World Health Organisation that, despite claims from pro-amalgam bodies such as the American and British Dental Associations (ADA/BDA), mercury is NOT "locked" safely in the metal bonds in the teeth, but can leak slowly into the body, often causing severe illnesses. These are reckoned to possibly include ME/CFS, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimers, and a whole range of "auto-immune" illnesses. In fact, just by damaging the immune system, Amalgam could be contributing to an even broader range of illnesses. 

Research including over 1000 peer-reviewed or government studies has been accumulated from the medical literature, documenting the mechanism by which mercury causes or is a major factor in over 40 chronic health conditions. Also accumulated are the clinical results of over 60,000 cases of amalgam replacement as followed and documented by doctors with evidence of cure or significant improvement in these chronic conditions: Autoimmune problems such as arthritis, MS, Lou Gehrig's Disease(ALS), Parkinson's/ muscle tremor, Alzheimer's, muscular and joint pain /fibromyalgia, chron's disease, lupus, scleroderma, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome(CFS), endometriosis , diabetes 

Beating Alzheimer's: A Step Towards Unlocking the Mysteries of Brain Diseases

This book deserves a reading by everyone who is affected directly or indirectly by Alzheimer's or other conditions causing "brain fog." Although conventional medicine offers absolutely no hope at this point in stopping or reversing the course of dementia, the author does. Careful not to promise recovery (lest the FDA pounce), he nevertheless lays out a detailed alternative program that proved successful in his own life--he was pretty far gone mentally--and in the lives of numerous others afflicted with Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases.

His basic premise is that many such problems are the result of an accumulation of toxins that overload the body's primary systems, including the immune system. He targets mercury fillings as a major culprit. Numerous studies have revealed that the 52% of mercury--one of the most toxic substances known to man--in so-called "silver" fillings leaches out into major organs of the body, reeking havoc on neurological functions. The author also recommends various dietary and environmental changes in lifestyle to speed recovery. In addition, he lists numerous related books as must reading for anyone seriously determined to take an active role in combating the disease.

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND THE ALUMINUM IN OUR FOOD

Mercury and B12 vitamin (Methylcobalamin)

The transport of vitamin B12 to the brain can be disturbed or interrupted by heavy metals such as inorganic mercury, which affects the blood-brain barrier by causing leakage and hampering the active transport of nutrients. Exposure to laughing gas (N2O), commonly given to women in labour, causes similar B12 deficiencies in the brain of the infant, and sometimes in mothers with low B12 levels (and the anaesthetist). When used as a sedative in connection with an operation, the gas can cause irreparable damage in an individual with B12 deficiency. 

The administration of relatively high doses of vitamin B12, in the form of methylcobalamin, in the treatment of fibromyalgia, diabetics, Multiple Sclerosis and amalgam-related disorders has been gradually increasing in Sweden since the end of the 80's. The results are remarkable. Some of the disorders that may be preventable or treatable with methylcobalamin, include chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's disease, peripheral neuropathies, Alzheimer's disease, muscular dystrophy and neurological aging. 

02-01-1999 Japanese scientists have identified a form of vitamin B12 that protects against neurological disease and aging by a unique mechanism that differs from current therapies. Some of the disorders that may be preventable or treatable with this natural vitamin therapy, called methylcobalamin, include chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's disease, peripheral neuropathies, Alzheimer's disease, muscular dystrophy and neurological aging. Americans have immediate access to this unique and new form of vitamin B12, and, unlike prescription drugs, it costs very little and is free of side effects. 

Vitamin B12 is a general label for a group of essential biological compounds knows as cobalamins. The cobalamins are structurally related to hemoglobin in the blood, and a deficiency of vitamin B12 can cause anemia. The primary concern of conventional doctors is to maintain adequate cobalamin status to protect against anemia. 

The most common form of vitamin B12 is called cyanocobalamin. However, over the last ten years, a number of central and peripheral neurological diseases have been linked to a deficiency of a very specific cobalamin, the methylcobalamin form, that is required to protect against neurological diseases and aging. The liver converts a small amount of cyanocobalamin into methylcobalamin within the body, but larger amounts of methylcobalamin are necessary to correct neurological defects and protect against aging. 

Published studies show that high doses of methylcobalamin are needed to regenerate neurons as well as the myelin sheath that protects nerve axons and peripheral nerves.

Mercury Toxicity &  Alzheimer's disease,  dementia
Drs Markesbery’s and Ehmann’s experiments have shown there are higher concentrations of mercury in the autopsied brains of patients who died of Alzheimer’s than are present in the autopsied brains of patients who did not have Alzheimer’s.

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND THE ALUMINUM IN OUR FOOD

Certain aluminum compounds have been found to be an important component of the neurological damage characteristics of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Much research over the last decade has focused on the role of aluminum in the development of this disease.

Over the last few years, there has been concern about the exposures resulting from leaching of aluminum from cookware and beverage cans. Some common food additives contain aluminum. Due to certain additives, processed cheese and cornbread are two major contributors to high aluminum exposures in the American diet. With regard to pharmaceuticals, some common over-the-counter medications such as antacids and buffered aspirin contain aluminum to increase the daily intake significantly. more

The Aluminum-Phosphate Fertilizer Connection

In 1998 Julie Varner and two colleagues published research on the effects of aluminum-fluoride and sodium-fluoride on the nervous system of rats.  They concluded, "Chronic administration of aluminum-fluoride and sodium-fluoride in the drinking water of rats resulted in distinct morphological alterations of the brain, including the effects on neurons and cerebrovasculature." In layman's terms, it looked like fluoride and aluminum could cause Alzheimer's. That was not a definitive study, but they may have been onto something. Aluminum is in our drinking water, foods, and many consumer products. Adding fluoride to drinking water in the U.S. started in the 1950's. America's drinking water is now over 60% fluoridated. Fluoride appears in many processed foods and beverages made with fluoridated water. Keep in mind, Europe has half our rate of Alzheimer’s. They don't fluoridate their water supplies, but they do use fluoride supplements and dental products.  more

Link Between Electromagnetic Radiation and Alzheimer's Disease

It has been suggested that exposure to weak electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can disturb the production of the hormone melatonin by the pineal gland in the brain, eventually leading to an increase in the risk of breast cancer and degenerative diseases such as coronary artery disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Likewise, epidemiological and laboratory reports suggest that children exposed to EMFs from power lines are at greater risk of developing leukaemia, and that adults exposed to EMFs at work run a higher risk of leukaemia and brain cancer (Edwards, 1995a). There are more recent concerns that cellphone users are more likely to suffer from brain tumours (Day & Kleiner, 1999). Nevertheless, such reports lack adequate foundation and have yet to be confirmed. 

In 1995, attention was drawn to the possible link between electromagnetic radiation and Alzheimer's disease following a landmark publication in the American Journal of Epidemiology by researchers at the University of Southern California School of Medicine. Subsequently, these researchers confirmed a direct relationship between occupations exposing individuals to higher levels of electromagnetic radiation and the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Their report, published in the December 1996 issue of Neurology, revealed a substantial increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in individuals whose occupations exposed them to higher than average levels of electromagnetic radiation. The occupations determined to be "high risk" with respect to exposure included electrician, machinist, machine operator, seamstress, sewing factory worker, sheet metal worker, typist, keypunch operator, welder, machine shop worker, and several others. The risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in these individuals was c alculated to be as much as four times higher than the general population. Subjects evaluated were at least 65 years of age. at the time of their first examination and their recorded occupations reflected what they had been doing up to 40 years prior to their evaluation and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. more

Chronic exposure to high levels of EMR, especially while asleep, is a constant drain on our vitality. It creates chronic stress, which interferes with the regeneration and healing that normally takes place during a good night’s sleep. You may compare it to always swimming against a strong current and this may well make the difference between recovering from a serious disease and succumbing to it. read the article

Cell Phones: Invisible Hazards in the Wireless Age: An Insider's Alarming Discoveries About Cancer and Genetic Damage 
Dr. Carlo's research led to the discovery that human blood cells could be damaged by the radiation emitted from a cell phone.  "What you won't see are the microwaves that are criss-crossing a confined space where a number of people who are not even using these instruments are bombarded by these waves." There may be a link between cell phone use and brain tumors. In 1994, Dr. Salford, a Swedish research found significan leakage or breakdown in he blood brain barrier due to the effects of microwaves. In 1996, Dr. Om Gandhi, from the university of Utah, did a study and found that a five-year-old child absorbs four times as much radiation as an adult. In 1998, research by Drs. Ray Tice and Graham Hook showed that following exposure to cell phone, there was a nearly 300 percent increase in the incidence of genetic damage in blood cells.

Beware of The Toxicity of Soy Products 

Contrary to popular belief that soy is a health food, evidence reveals that soy consumption has been linked to numerous disorders, including infertility, increased cancer and infantile leukemia, Type1 diabetes, and  precocious puberty in children have been fed soy formula. (early maturation, such as breast development and menstruation as early as 6 years of age). Scientists have known for years that the isoflavones in soy products can depress thyroid function and cause goiters in otherwise healthy children and adults. A combined research team of Cornell University Medical College and Long Island Community Hospital medical experts have found that children who develop Type1 diabetes are twice as likely to have been fed soy formulas as those fed all other foods  This confirms concerns based on animal studies raised in the 1980's and 1990s by Health Canada researcher Dr Fraser Scott and led to the American Academy of Pediatrics issuing their warning to pediatricians against any use of soy based formulas.

Brain.com reports an ongoing study involving 3,734 elderly Japanese-American men. That research has found that the men who ate the most tofu during mid-life had up to 2.4 times the risk of later developing Alzheimer's disease. Lead researcher Dr. Lon R. White said that men who ate tofu at least twice weekly showed brain aging about five years faster than those who seldom ate tofu. Soy has also been implicated in  interference with the absorption of zinc, calcium, protein enzymes and amino acids. more

Alzheimer's Vaccine Causes Life-Threatening Side Effects

While an experimental vaccine for Alzheimer’s disease may work, it was found to cause life-threatening side effects in some cases. It is thought that the vaccine works by causing the body’s immune system to fight against abnormalities in the brain known as plaques. These plaques are thought to cause some of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease including forgetfulness and confusion. However, the vaccine may cause an immune overreaction causing severe brain swelling. Some six percent of participants in a trial of the vaccine suffered from severe brain swelling, leading the vaccine manufacturer, Elan, to call off the trial. Researchers examined the brain of a woman who had taken the vaccine and died after a fall in order to investigate the side effect. They found fewer plaques in the woman’s brain than in Alzheimer's patients who did not receive the vaccine.

However, researchers also found immune-system cells known as T cells in the woman’s brain. T cells are not normally in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s, so the cells’ presence suggests an overreaction of the immune system that may have harmed normal brain tissue and caused inflammation, according to researchers. An Elan researcher leading the company’s effort to develop an Alzheimer’s vaccine said that, despite setbacks, the company hopes to begin trials of an altered version of the vaccine later this year, and pointed out that the vaccine may have actually removed plaque from the brain. However, other experts say that some patients with Alzheimer’s have very few plaques, so it can’t be concluded that the lower level of plaque was due to the vaccine. Moreover, it has not been proven that reducing Alzheimer’s-related plaque improves symptoms in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

For nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions.)

The acid-alkaline balance of the body has an enormous impact on a person’s health. When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we may experience low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more serious disorders. When the body is excessively acidic, vital organs and individual cells are subject to damage or destruction. This condition, known as acidosis, can be a cause, an effect, or even a symptom of almost any health condition. By balancing the body's acidity levels, this simple plan can help toward curing various medical conditions, including arthritis, hepatitis, insomnia, alcoholism, and kidney disease.
