Don’t Forget Your Memory June 22, 2007

Memory can be damaged not just by a blow to the head, but also by neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, by injuries such as strokes, and very importantly – by improper diet. There is an enormous amount of evidence that brain function, memory and health are closely tied to our diet. We’ve recently found that our diets can make us more susceptible to crippling neurodegenerative diseases (memory loss), such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and vascular dementia. Our diet can alter our behavior, producing positive effects such as creativity and clear thinking, or negative effects such as anxiety or confusion. Diets rich in vegetables and omega-3 fats, improve brain function and have been shown to improve memory, IQ, and general behavior; and at the same time, they eliminate depression. Your memory may very well depend soley on the quality of your diet! Learn more from Dr. Blaylock about preserving your memory and the function of our brain.
Cholesterol Complications June 22, 2007

Many people have been perscribed to take cholesterol or statin drugs after theircholesterol test – very few of them have been informed about the real danger of these drugs. First off, it is important to always know who paid for the research and whether the principal author of your Doctors favorite source of info, has a financial conflict of interest. Independent papers are always superior.
Let me get your feet wet;
50 percent of all strokes and heart attacks have absolutely nothing to do
with elevated cholesterol levels and this has been kept from the public eye and from physicians’ medical education. But if you visit your doctor and have even slightly elevated cholesterol, he is quick to fill out a prescription for a cholesterol or statin drug such as Lipitor™, Mevacor™, Pravachol™ and Zocor™. If you watch one of those Lipitor commercials, you’ll think that you’ll be taking a walk down the red carpet at a Hollywood premiere or still be diving into pools at 70 if you take Lipitor, so even if you don’t need a statin, you may beg your doctor to write that prescription.
What the public is not told is that the cholesterol or statin drugs are associated with major complications and side effects. These include depletion of the body’s essential energy molecule coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which can lead to congestive heart failure, extreme muscle weakness, neurological disorders and even death. All cholesterol or statin drugs have been associated with causing or promoting cancer in experimental animals. This is especially important since millions of Americans have been advised to take these cholesterol drugs for the rest of their lives. It will take 20 years before the connection between the statins and a dramatic rise in cancer deaths becomes widely acknowledged — too late for many people!

Metal Mouth June 22, 2007

Mercury is listed as one of the top six most poisonous metals on earth,with known human toxicity occurring at doses producing urine levels of 5 ug/L, or five millionths of one gram. Consider that a nickel weighs about 5 grams.
Take a wild guess what’s been in vaccines and amalgam dental fillings for years….toxic mercury!
The primary source of human contamination is right there in your mouth — dental fillings composed of an amalgam of various metals, almost 50% of which is the metallic form of mercury. Second, until recently, were vaccines. Third is the contamination of fish by coal-burning plants and the run-off of pesticides and herbicides from farmlands into lakes and streams, and the natural pollution of the seas from the sea floor. Because mercury is fat-soluble, it accumulates in the brain (60% fat) and other fat-containing tissue. Once in the brain, all forms (organic and vapor) are converted to the ionic form, which reacts with a number of important structures and chemicals in that vital organ.
Mercury has been linked with the rise in autism, alzheimer’s, lou gherig’s disease and even heart failure. Be sure to ask your doctor for a test to see how much mercury is in your system and for ways to avoid further contamination.
Daily Dose of Fat June 14, 2007

Here’s little secret your doctor probably never told you: a simple fish oil could be the key ingredient to a long, happy life. Omega-3.
The benefits of including Omega-3 into your diet are similar to infinity x’s 100, or at least close if you’re exaggerating, but it is very good for you.This miracle fat might not only prevent heart attacks and help you avoid a stroke — it could also protect you from depression and other brain disorders. Certain dietary fats can affect your brain chemistry and even bi-polar disorder has been linked to low levels of specific dietary fats…and can be treated by simple nutritional correction.
It’s no surprise that the diet of so many Americans today could use a major readjustment. What may surprise you is how much these bad habits are affecting the health and increase of disease as well!
Mountains of evidence clearly show that special fats known as Omega-3 Fatty Acids (or N-3 fats) greatly enhance the health of the brain, as well as virtually every cell in the body. Omega-3 fats are a group of polyunsaturated fats commonly found in plants, fish, algae and flaxseed. These
polyunsaturated fats are the “good guys,” while trans fatty acids (the partially hydrogenated fats found in vegetable oils) and omega-6 fats are the “bad guys.” One study found that consuming more Omega-3 fats actually boosted the brain’s levels of depression fighting serotonin and made brain cell membranes more effective, causing them to work more like young, healthy brain cells. Learn more about the benefits of Omega-3 and be sure to get your daily dose. Get to know Omega-3 and take your health hostage!
