Hi all,

I came across something on the net a couple of days ago & it seems to make sense,

I want to share it with you all.

I think it will give a sense of HOPE to most people.;)

It was an article by Dr Blaylock who alledgedly lost both his parents to

degenerative mental diseases, he then went on to dedicate his life to

researching & trying to find a cure/prevention from such.

Much of what he advocates is obvious, but some of it is surprising....


Traditionally diseases such as OBESITY, type 2 DIABETES, ARTHRITIS

DEMENTIA/ALZHEIMERS ,most CANCERS, HEART DISEASE, DEPRESSION

DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS ETC occur because of bad life-style especially diet'


BRAIN DAMAGE CAN BE CAUSED BY AN INFLAMMATORY DIET

WHICH IN TURN CAUSE MORE FREE RADICALS IN THE SYSTEM (INCLUDING BRAIN).

& A PHENOMENON CALLED EXCITOTOXICITY

HE
ALSO STATED THAT IN A HEALTHY BRAIN THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE

OF A CHEMICAL CALLED 'GLUTATHIONE,' WHICH IS DEMINISHED IN AN UNHEALTHY

BRAIN

I jotted the bulk of what he was saying in the tutorial down ,(I was

a little wary of subscribing at this stage).

He suggested finding a good HOLISTIC healer , getting their diet/lifestyle &

bloods checked -especially for heavy metals & other toxins.....


He advocates a pure moderate intake of ORGANIC WHOLE FOODS,including :-
BLUEBERRIES
MELATONIN
VIT D (the right form/source)
B 12 (again from the right source)
OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS ...to name a few things can do more for you than some
prescription medication

Also keeping MENTALLY ACTIVE by conversing with others & challenging yourself
with new languages, travel, puzzles , meeting new people etc.


getting checked for HEAVY METALS in the system

Getting rid of AMALGAM dental fillings

ALUMINIUM saucepans

not eating foods with PESTICIDES sprayed on them

BEING CAREFUL WHAT PLASTICS WE EAT FROM ESPECIALLY

NOT LIVING IN OR NEAR POLLUTED AREAS, eg near freeways, cities , factories

Not eating large fish such as TUNA /SWORDFISH /MARLIN /SHARK ETC

as they may have a concertration of heavy metals in their systems

Not having FLU VACCINES as they may have contaminants in them

*THE UPSIDE IS THERE ARE CHELATING ELEMENTS AT HAND

THAT CAN HELP FLUSH THE BODY OF TOXINS & EVEN REVERSE

DEMENTIA TO VARYING DEGREES....HE SUGGESTED A FORM OF

MAGNESIUM THAT WAS HELPFUL ALSO......


M.S.G. ,or whatever other name it's marketed under-NOT GOOD

CURED MEATS etc

ASPARTAME - an artificial sweetner- NOT GOOD...., use STEVIA instead


Omega 3 - GOOD

Omega 6 - NOT SO GOOD



lean protein

steering clear of most OILS, EXCEPT for 2 which I think may be

Coconut, Olive oil, Flax?-OKAY?

(he said sunflower,peanut,safflower & Soy etc may not be that good ).


So basically he suggests an unprocessed diet....for starters.

I read somewhere else that maybe VITAMIN PILLS may not be that

good for you for the very fact they are synthetic.:confused:

HYDROLISED FATTY ACIDS, chemically engineered-very not good for you.

WHITE BREAD /FLOUR /RICE/ SUGAR - NOT GOOD

ALCOHOL - OF COURSE- NOT SO GOOD


A GOOD WATER FILTER - KEEPING HYDRATED WITH PURE WATER PREFERABLY


IDEALLY MODERATE DAILY EXCERCISE IS PREFERABLE

AVOIDING STRESS AS IT CAN PRODUCE DAMAGING CHEMICALS


Good Luck to you All, I hope you all get something out of it x:rolleyes:

Alzheimer's is a genetic illness. It runs in my husband's family, and some have it and some don't!

i do agree that eating well can help ward off dementia, along with stimulating the brain and social interaction.

I think we need to eat food in the closest form that God created it. And trust God, no matter what health problems come our way!

I don't think study of lifestyle and food habits in connection to health, including mental health, has been sufficiently studied. It would also be a difficult one to set up so it could be accurate. As I watch elderly people around me, how they eat and how they think seems to be connected. I have even watched how a connection with the Lord seems to spill over into how they eat.


I have been laughed at most of my life as a health food nut, yet so many of those who laughed lost their minds before they lost their life. At 88, most of those close to me are gone, now, even those who were younger.

I have heard many of these same things. Also that these same principles can help with other degenerative diseases, too. I also read somewhere that dancing is a particularly good form of exercise for warding off dymentia.

From my studies, being careful of oils is very important.

When I was trying to find out what cod liver oil to buy, I found that they discovered its usefulness when fishermen would throw the liver of cod in a barrel outside. They found that the oil from that (stinky, not very clean, awful) was wonderful for them. Now, it is filtered, heated, refined with chemicals, made to taste good artificially, and of no use to us.

If you read the methods used to produce our oils, you will see why they harm us. Rancid oil is also not good for us, and flax seed oil gets rancid within two weeks. Best to buy the seeds and grind in a coffee grinder. Other oils need to be pressed, not manufactured.

This would explain why when we were young, our grandparents never
had dementia. They were into gardening, eating healthier because it
was food of the land. If they ate beef, pork, poultry, and seafood, it was
usually home fed. Cattle grazed, hogs were fed scraps, chickens fed
off corn, and seafood came from untainted waters. JMO...~ J~K~2
