Addressing the Root Causes of Biochemical Depression
Depression, like high blood pressure, high blood sugar and your oil light being on, is a symptom of an imbalance. Unfortunately, it is still often viewed as a character flaw or a condition that can be remedied with means other than addressing the imbalance. This leads to people not seeking help. There are many ways […]
Depression
There are 2 basic forms of depression, exogenous and endogenous. Exogenous depression is cause by an external event–death, divorce, bankruptcy, etc. The depression is temporary and mollified by time and changes in circumstances. Endogenous depression is due to an inability to manufacture natural brain chemicals called “neurotransmitters”. A good analogy for this type depression is […]
Memory Care
Should you make reservations? Check your TSH and hemoglobin A1c. Like most all western medical conditions, Alzheimer’s is a consequence of long-term inflammation. Inflammation is caused by the immune system’s response to critter overgrowth. The immune cell soldiers produce weapons of mass destruction called “cytokines”. The cytokines, while aimed at critters, can also cause “collateral […]
Stop Taking Calcium
There is an advanced type of CT called “electron beam computed tomography” EBCT. EBCT can detect calcium build-up in arteries of the heart and warn of impending “heart attacks”. The higher your calcium score, the more likely a “heart attack”. This is because calcium precipitation is linked to inflammation and low magnesium (calcium deposits on […]
Creatine’s Role in Enhancing Memory & Preventing Alzheimer’s
One of you recently was asking about enhancing memory, brain function and preventing Alzheimer’s (I forget who is was 😬). The foundation of that process, as with addressing any condition caused by chronic inflammation, is a BALi type eating plan. Next, I would add the 1/2 coconut oil 1/2 black seed oil mix as in […]
Blood Work for Detecting the Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the train whistle signaling the oncoming progression of the brain inflammation that causes the freight train collision called Alzheimer’s. The inflammation causing Alzheimer’s is the exact same inflammation that causes “heart attacks, strokes, autoimmune conditions, asthma, kidney disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer, etc. The difference is […]
Food for Thought – Preventing Alzheimer’s
A commonly asked question I get is “What’s are ways to prevent Alzheimer’s? Crossword puzzles, brain exercises? I forget little things like…wait…what was I saying?” Alzheimer’s happens for the same 2 primary reasons most other medical conditions happen, inflammation and disuse atrophy. Inflammation is that war I continue to talk about between your immune system […]
