1. Exercising. Exercise protects your brain just as it protects the rest of your body from diabetes.2. Eating a nutritious diet that’s right for your nutritional type. 3. Getting plenty of high-quality omega-3 in your diet, such as by taking a krill oil supplement. A diet rich in omega-3 fats has been found to ward off both Alzheimer’s disease and diabetes.
4. If you are having a hard time getting yourself to exercise or following the diet I recommend, then use the hypnosis program I recommend to stop cravings and increase your motivation to eat right and exercise more.
There are many degenerative disorders. Type II diabletes, osteo arthritis, arterioscletosis, neurodegernerative (ie "old timers" disease)...
Not to be too simplistic, many problems, one cause.
a junk lifestyle will result in some kind of problem, genetics may decide what hits you first.
There are lots of specific solutions for specific problems. As people live longer, something is going to get you for sure, however...
one healthy lifestyle will prevent most of the problems that are now taken for granted.
There is an old Naturopathic bumper sticker philosophy...S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) for short life, long death; Natural Lifestyle for Long Life, Short Death
I agree, in fact if you read the article sited above you will see it was incomplete in so far as details and controls. And one study does not a reliable conclusion make.
There is not a city dump in the US that it is legal to discard old amalgam fillings.The dentist would go to jail if caught.
Insulin related problems are typically brought on by poor diet, but not always. I have one family member who has severe diabetes and Alzheimer's. She ate an almost perfect diet, exersised and is still thin. She just had too many pregnancies. She got gestational diabeties every time. This increases risk for full fledged diabeties. I also know several diabetics who were born with faulty pancreases. And there is my father that had a botched surgery that eventually led to the loss of most of his pancres.
We are what we eat. Rudy Tanzi received a Noble Prize for discovering that Alzheimer's is a build up of amyloid plaque at the blood brain barrier. He examined the histo pathological slides of people with all forms of dementia. Dr Alzheimer described 50 year old women who were lost in their own minds in 1906. These were German women and we can only assume that their diet was fed with chemical fertilizers first made from coal tar in 1860.
These crackled forms of fertilizers had the sulfur of the coal tar vaporized just as todays crude oil based fertilizers are also devoid of sulfur. Following Pauling's reference to mineral deficiency could this lack of sulfur in our diets could be responsible for the build up of amyloid plaque at the blood brain barrier? Our research of sulfur has demonstrated the cessation of oral meds for type II diabetes. Could sulfur be necessary for insulin production? What we feel important in the discussion of dementia whether vascular or the buildup of amyloid plaque at the blood brain barrier is the the time line of what we have done to our food supply esp. regarding the minerals available in the soils they are grown. We only have had only one Study member who has regained her memory after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's for 11 years. She is the only person in our Study who had been diagnosed with this form of dementia. Is sulfur a compliment of all of Dr Mercola's suggestions?
Our suggestion would be to add organic sulfur to ones diet and see whether the symptoms are addressed.
We would encourage anyone interested to contact the our Study at organicsulfur@sisna.com The time line
for the increase in Alzheimer's and the "we are what eat" factor deserves to be investigated.
