Hospital Stays Trigger Cognitive Decline

There are so many unfortunate things that can happen during a hospital stay, accidental death being chief among them. It’s bad enough that you have some condition that’s sending you to the hospital in the first place, but piled on top of that, if you follow this blog, you know that medical error ranks third as a cause of mortality in the US — which makes any hospital stay doubly frightening. A 2010 report revealed that one out of every seven patients admitted to a hospital in the US suffers harm at the hands of the medical staff. As if that’s not enough to worry about, a new study reveals yet another frightening possibility: that a hospital stay might incur significant cognitive decline — merely because you were in the hospital.1 (more…)

Nicotine may slow cognitive decline

Could nicotine possibly be good for you?

Short answer: Yes… sort of, and a new study shows again how the most addictive ingredient in cigarettes could help boost the brain.

But don’t start smoking — because trust me, any “benefits” of nicotine are far outweighed by the risks.

In the new study, researchers didn’t even look at smokers. They recruited 67 non-smokers with mild cognitive impairment, one of the earliest warning signs of dementia, and assigned them to wear either a nicotine patch or a placebo patch. (more…)

Aluminum + Fluoride = Alzheimer’s and Dementia

Chemtrails contain “the oxides of metals,” according to this geo-engineering patent. These substances are supposedly sprayed into our atmosphere for “beneficial” climate manipulation, or geo-engineering, and residue tests indicate excess aluminum oxide in water and soil after heavy chemtrailing. Fluoride is put in our water to “prevent tooth decay.” Both of these actions, geo-engineering and fluoridation, on the surface, appear to be beneficial, with only good intentions behind their implementation. Really!

Aluminum is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease: (more…)

Yes, you can prevent Alzheimer’s with specific nutrients, say scientists

With an aging population and no cure on the horizon for memory and life-robbing Alzheimer’s disease (AD), it’s hard not to fear this 6th leading cause of death in the US — especially if you know this nightmarish form of dementia runs in your family and you could be at increased risk for AD. What’s more, mention Alzheimer’s to mainstream doctors and they are usually quick to point out there’s no cure, no prevention, and the only treatments are expensive drugs that work for a while, if at all, to diminish symptoms. Fortunately, that’s not the whole truth. (more…)

Big Pharma fumbles with toxic dementia drugs while ignoring natural remedies

Alzheimer’s disease is becoming an epidemic among baby boomers. But mainstream medicine cannot reverse Alzheimer’s. They do offer medications intended to make dementia more bearable, but with unbearable side effects. Meanwhile, Big Pharma’s quest for patents ignores evidence of a few safe natural substances that reduce Alzheimer’s.

Pharmaceuticals don’t work well and create adverse effects (more…)

Gluten May Threaten Your Brain

The future of the American brain looks murky. One in 10 children reportedly suffers Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and millions are taking ADHD medication.1 At the same time, the memories of many older Americans have started to falter as they begin to experience the mind meltdown known as dementia. The possible common factor that may be driving a portion of this collective brain dysfunction: our boundless appetite for bread and other gluten-containing foods. (more…)

5 Reasons High Fructose Corn Syrup Will Kill You

Harry Truman once said, “If you can’t convince them confuse them.”

The current media debate about the benefits (or lack of harm) of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in our diet misses the obvious. The average American increased their consumption of HFCS (mostly from sugar sweetened drinks and processed food) from zero to over 60 pounds per person per year. During that time period, obesity rates have more than tripled and diabetes incidence has increased more than seven fold. Not perhaps the only cause, but a fact that cannot be ignored. (more…)

Vitamin B12 and Alzheimer’s Disease

As baby boomers age and the senior population swells, more people than ever before are faced with the impact of aging on the brain. Loss of memory and thinking ability is one of aging’s most tragic consequences. Without memory, we lose our sense of identity and relationship to the world around us. A haunting song about aging recorded by Simon and Garfunkel in the 1960s ends with the words: “Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you.” How sad that so many people spend their final years with few memories left intact. Senile dementia is the medical term for senility, the gradual loss of mental function that so often occurs with aging. Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of senile dementia, accounts for more than 60 percent of the cognitive function disorders in the aging population. (more…)

Dementias are disorders with symptoms of memory loss and a decrease in cognition and the ability to reason. Dementia, sometimes called “senility,” is not a part of the normal aging process, and shows that some other disease may be present. Dementia affects a person’s ability to be successful in carrying out their activities of daily living. Accurate diagnosis of the disease that is present is necessary for treating the dementia properly. (more…)
