Doctor Thinks He Knows What Causes Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS! | Mark Hyman

The gut and brain are strongly interconnected. That’s why in Functional Medicine we always take the gut into account, along with the rest of the body, when trying to understand a brain disease. Unfortunately, conventional medicine likes to look at each part of the body separately, which may be why doctors have a hard time effectively treating neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ALS. Knowing that the gut affects the brain and understanding the far-reaching role of the microbiome has led this week’s guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy to approach neurodegenerative conditions with a whole new perspective.
Dr. Jay Lombard is an internationally acclaimed neurologist, author, and keynote speaker specializing in neuroimmunological conditions and medical mysteries. Dr. Lombard integrates biological, psychological, and existential components in his holistic treatment approach. Dr. Lombard’s clinical experience revealed an interesting pattern: one patient with ALS also had small intestine bacterial overgrowth, then another who had ulcerative colitis, another had Crohn’s, and so on. He started seeing the connection between these bacterial imbalances and Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, and the link to neurological symptoms.

My dad was so healthy until he and my 11 year old sister were seriously injured when his car was hit by a drunk driver, 1967. My sister died. Dad felt guilty like forever. My mother verbally abused my dad forever because he hadn't made sure my sitter had her seat belt on. Dad suffered mentally, emotionally and spiritually for nearly 20 years. He gradually went crazy and died insane. They said that he had Alzheimer's. I say it was family issues. Mental, emotional, spiritual torture changes your brain chemistry.

My brother was killed in a car accident on the way home the next morning. We don't talk about it. Its terrible. My dad knew my brother shouldn't go. My dad knew things. None of us beat her up over it. It wouldn't bring my brother back. He was 15. Such a tragedy.

True. This is where the Natural path doctors have so much wisdom to add to our regular AMA doctors. My personal doctor is good but she has no real interest in learning about natural remedies compared to the pharmaceuticals. And yes, carnivore is excellent but our bodies are intricate and I never seem to stop learning....

[@pamelacorbett8774]

How interesting. I met an American paediatrician who told me that when he worked in Mexico in a public hospital, the doctors prescribed bone broth as a cure for summer diarrhoea in children and he saw that it worked. Back in the U.S. he said the mothers turned it down flat, appalled, saying they wanted ‘a proper medicine’. You are right, we have strayed far from nature and have much to learn.

[@larcywilliams]

When my husband began the bone broth, he refused the medication he was offered. His doctor couldn't believe the transformation. He also suffered with the same condition, so he tried it too. He now tells his other patients about bone broth. Unfortunately, my husband strayed from the carnivore diet and I believe that's why he developed a brain tumour. The gut and brain connection is very powerful

My dad, who is 86, has recently had C Diff after a year of several courses of antibiotics.

[@mariastellamelendez8670]

I had a friend who was diagnosed with MS. She followed doctors orders. She took the meds, but she did not get any better. She got tired of getting bigger and not getting better after following doctors orders to a T. So she took matters into her own hands and did some research. When I met her she was energetic, lifting heavy objects, on the run for a whole shift, we worked together is a retail shop where there was a lot of energy and business. When she told me she had been diagnosed with MS I was floored. She told me she began to eat healthier. Concetrating on all organic made from scratch foods. She totally eliminated sugar and carbohydrates. She made all her own foods. she ate mostly fruits, vegetables, and beans. Subsequently she lost weight, gained energy, her whole attidude changed. We are what we eat. Sugar kills

[@shannonchavez3420]

This is so true! You can put most auto immune diseases into remission from diet alone! Western Dr.'s wont tell you this because they push Big Pharma's aganda of taking as many drugs as you can! If u want to heal from the inside, then you stop eating all sugar, caffeine, white flour, processed foods ( canned and boxed foods), red meat and dairy!! These are the foods that keep your bodu inflammed and diseases!! If u want to put the infections and auto immune diseases into remission and gone, try eating ONLY: VEGETABLES, FRUITS, BEANS, & NUTS. If you want to eat meat, only eat baked chicken or baked white fish! No fried or breaded meats! And NO RED MEATS! If you want bread, you can only have 100% WHOLE GRAIN WHEAT. Only!! And eat it in small amounts! Drink Only water! I had reverse osmosis water! Try to drink filtered or good water! If you stick to eating only these things, you will lose weight, have tons of energy and put those diseases into remission! You are starving the diseases of what they need to survive and harm your body! Once they aren't toxic to your body anymore, the inflammation goes away and the auto immune problems go away!! It works!! Every Time!!! EATING VEGAN ( or eating only baked chicken and white fish if you need the meat) IS BEST FOR YOUR BODY! If you have to eat the meat, keep it baked, with no sauces and no chemicals! You have to watch eating out, because many chemicals are put on food that you are unaware of, like MSG! This is a good time for u to only eat at home or meal plan if u have to go out of town! Also, continue to take your vitamins and suplements! Never stop using them!

[@soilmanted]

At M. S. Melendez While I am all for having a vegan or near-vegan diet, and I tend to believe it may help prevent or help cause remission of, MS, you say your friend totally eliminated carbohydrates and in the next sentence you say she ate beans. Beans are about 1/4 by weight carbohydrates. Don't take my word for it. Look them up in the USDA Nutrient Database. For example take dry black beans that have been cooked in water without salt: they have similar nutrient values to other beans. Their nutrient values, rounded to the nearest integer, are 66% water, 9% protein, 0.5% lipids, 24% carbohydrates, 9% fiber, Not sure why this adds up to a bit more than 100%, even if I use the un-rounded values. Also, there is a form of MS where the symptoms remit, and then after awhile they come back. It has been labeled _relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.._ I also have a friend whose MS remitted to a great degree, and for a long time. This happened after she went on a vegan diet. I don't know how long it took. But she ate carbohydrates.

[@ms-jl6dl]

Sugar is in all fruits,and in most of vegetables too. All carbohydrates turn into sugars in our gut during digestion. She cut her meat and dairy consumption also,so that can be the reason too.

[@soilmanted]

@@ms-jl6dl Indeed, I don't understand the hate directed toward sugar. Now, if you eat lots of cookies, cakes, and candies, whose recipe includes lots of refined sugar, this may cause you to eat less plain fresh fruit and less vegetables. Because refined white sugar is devoid of anything other than pure sucrose, the result may be inadequate intake of many micronutrients. I want to add that so-called turbinado sugar, and demerara sugar, are refined sugars. They just leave out the last step in the refinement process. Light molasses and the various rock hard cane sugar products used in Latin America, are whole foods, made by simply squeezing out the juice from sugar cane, and dehydrating it.

Many of the health concepts you are both exploring here (thankfully!) are foundational to Āyurveda. The health of the gut is central to healing all diseases. Diet is paramount, and especially using lots of spices in cooking. Spices have anti microbial, anti viral and anti fungal properties that heal and protect the gut. Using medicated ghee penetrates the blood brain barrier to cleanse the brain. Fasting and good lifestyle habits are a mainstay of treatment and health. These concepts were written down 3000 years ago, in the Charaka Samhita, notably, as well as other texts. Treatment must involve the whole person - body, mind and spirit. I wish Western medical schools and doctors would be humble enough to learn from this profound healing system. 🙏🏻

As a nurse of forty years, mostly in cardiology, the last 30 years were a quantum leap in cardiology. I hope the next 30 years really are the quantum leap in neurology and cancer treatment. I believe we will see a paradigm shift for so called auto-immune diseases, which are really markers for curable disease in many more cases than we know now. Finally, I never believed in bringing down fevers, except in a limited number of cases where the fever would be deleterious to other conditions. The body has fine tuned and complex strategies to fight infection and disease. Our job as clinicians is to recognize and support those exquisite mechanisms.

Did she take the covid vaccine? My first go-around with C-dif was contracted at a hospital during [ hand ] surgery. It is highly contagious. The second go around was after dental surgery [ about 2 years later] I was taking an antibiotic to prevent infection. The treating gastro dr said Vancomycin is the go to treatment for C-dif. It worked for me. Odd that it takes an antibiotic to treat a antibiotic induced illness. I believe if you have a sensitive gut issue, you may be prone to C-dif. It can be pretty debilitating. my mother had dementia, she also had gut issues There may be something to this. Sorry about your mom.......

I have noted when he sleeps a lot & gets zoned out & struggles physically he will come out of it progressed in his dementia. He has been struggling with gut issues over the last several months as well. Could it be the Famotodine causing his progression?

This is fascinating. My uncle died of ALS in 2005. When his issues started he sought treatment from holistic and traditional doctors. He was diagnosed by holistic dr with Lyme. Given treatment and exercises to strengthen grip. He did gain strength - which goes against all “rules” of ALS progression. Also, as he started this, neurologists had a tough time diagnosing ALS. He only had one marker (if that’s the word). However, he had a port inserted for Lyme treatment and it became infected. He was told to sit in a spa daily (is this a form of heat treatment?) - they think this is how the port was infected. That set him back too much to recover to be able to try to treat the Lyme disease again. I’ve always believed the ALS & Lyme were intertwined so this is some confirmation. And the antibiotics to fix these issues. Hopefully, this will help others in the future. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

When you mentioned Dr Barry Marshall, our ears lit up, so to speak. His approach sets a template.

[@saneone5354]

Wow. First time listener and I am really impressed. Dr. Hyman you do a great job of breaking down the science in a way that’s easy to understand, yet comprehensive. I am a retired journalist, and in my work, it was always a challenge to find scientists who could explain their work in words or concepts so others could understand. Having now heard you, you would have been a dream to interview for a story. You are essentially a conversationalist with a great deal of smarts and fluent in the language of medicine. And by the way, thank you for not cutting out the big words. People know what endothelial cells are, or it they don’t, they can always look it up. You don’t compromise the science for the sake of selling an idea. I like that. Bravo.

I agree wholeheartedly. A lot of his guests struggle with this. They have trouble explaining things in smart but plain language. They are probably good researchers, but they are overly cautious about making predictions or suggesting a path forward. Many people will live and die before these things are scientifically proven, we have to learn how to navigate that space and make the best possible decisions for ourselves in the meantime without being sensationalistic.

I’m so glad I’ve never been on long term antibiotics and I went off a PPI like within less than a year. By a process of elimination I found that temazepam which I took for sleep was causing a bad case of reflux. I was on 30mg per night and titrated immediately down to 15 mg then within 6 months totally off completely. My reflux completely went away. My gastroenterologist has never heard of temazepam causing or exacerbated reflux. I’m thrilled that I did this experimentation on my own. There is so much our doctors don’t know. We have to be our own advocate and research everything. You will be amazed at what we can do on our own and literally heal ourselves.

Wow! My mom had c-diff and had to get the fecal transplant because the antibiotics didn't work. She was later diagnosed (2-3 years later) with PSP (progressive supranuclear palsy), which displays like Parkinson's but is an uncommon neurological disease (Tau protein related). It does not run in the family. She picked up c-diff at a rehab clinic after she broke her wrist.

My father had ALS for over 20 years. He was able to work, walk, dance and have a life for over 20 years until a few weeks after my mother died and all of a sudden he was sick. My sister and I never knew that he had been diagnosed with ALS and every few years his doctors would have him come back because they thought they had misdiagnosed him - but no matter what he had it but could walk, work and drive. and was happy. Over the years his speech slowed down gradually which we noticed but assumed it was just slowing some from aging. In 2015 I had emergency lung surgery because of a large abscess in my lungs. One of my lungs had deflated because it was flattened by the growth. A doctor told me I had a mild case of pneumonia and when antibiotics didn’t work he told me to give it more time - they were actually rude about it so I went to an urgent care where an xray showed the lung issues. SO - I had a complete thoracotomy and afterward was diagnosed with severe sepsis so they put me in a drug induced coma for weeks and put on a cocktail of antibiotics. After weeks in the ICU and dealing with kidney issues and a brain bleed I was taken to an inpatient rehab facility. A few days into it C dif hit. It was like a car hit me. I was already really ill but the Cdif was awful and they had a difficult time stopping the problem. Now 5ish years later I have neurological and other issues. Neurology at NYU Langone did a million expensive tests but offered me nothing as a remedy. Why do the tests if you have nothing else to offer? I’ve started to deal with some of the issues using specific Amino Acids which seem to be helping some. I’m sick of going to a million different doctors who have no answers and just pass me from one doctor to another. The neurologists have written off the idea that I might have something else going on. Very frustrated and disgusted with the medical community. It saved my life but once the crisis was over it had no answers for what I was left with. I currently take Arginine/Ornithine, Taurine, a multi Magnesium and Lemon Balm before i go to sleep and I sleep like a rock and my bp went down 40 pts/20. The Arginine did what Lisinopril and Norvasc didn’t do and Brain Awake in the am. It has LTheanine and Acetyl L Carnitine during the day. I had recurring bladder and kidney infections and the antibiotics were a short term fix. I started drinking whole organic milk which us more hydrating than water and the infections stopped. Skim and lactose free milks aren’t as hydrating and doesn’t cause the problems blamed on Whole milk.

[@megsarna7429]

That sounds like a medical hell u went through. Hope u are well now. Wat u write about Doctors is absolutely true, they don't have any solution to any medical problem, only cure d symptoms.

[@maldridge7630]

Sorry to hear, I hope you will do this: - Eat 3 cloves of chopped garlic daily, without fail. It is super important that you let it air out for 10 minutes before you consume it, this will increase its efficacy. Millions of benefits but this is no the time or place for listing them. - 3 Tablespoons of 3 parts Turmeric (Curcumin) + 1 part Black Pepper daily. You cannot imagine the limitless benefits this has to offer, especially against C-diff. - 4 to 5 drops of Oregano Essential oil with warm water daily; it is super harsh but it saves lives. Drink a HOT beverage immediately after and it will stop its after effect within seconds. Do your own research to find out what a wonderful, wonderful remedy this can be. - 4,000 to 5,000 mg of pure Niacin (Vitamin B3) daily. The one which causes skin flushing; this sensation goes away after 2 days of continuous use. The flushing sensation is great news as it means you had a large number of dead micro-capillaries which are being re-activated; this reactivation is the essence of youth! It reverses a near and dear family member's Alzheimers within 30 minutes of each doze. Repetition is the key. Determination is the key to all great achievements. I am sharing this because I want the best for all Humanity, regardless of race, creed, and religion. We are all children of the same Universe and the quality of our 'retirement' will be determined on how many lives we were able to improve.

At age 60 I watched my parents age into late 80’s suffering from inflammation, diabetes, and physical degeneration. Not all of which, I believed was entirely age related. I took the decision to reduce my carb intake to no more than 30 - 40g per day after suspecting that there is a link. I’m no academic but I strongly believed that had my parents followed suit 20 or 30 years earlier, decades of pain and disability would have been avoided. This video shines a bright light upon the relationship between glucose, gut health, physical and brain health. This is a revolution in thought, to correlate leaky gut to leaky brain and the gate crash of dangerous bacteria to the party going on penthouse upstairs. Wow. I love your minds.

What a fascinating conversation. It not only makes me feel hopeful for the people who are previously had health issues once thought to be incurable, but it also pisses me off big time because of the ABSOLUTE failure of the medical system in the U.S. Not only does it fail so many people, it's WAY too expensive, and the combo of medicine for profit and medical isurance for profit just bleeds people dry for what is basically INFERIOR care!

What you have described is the basis of your societal function; ‘ Money - and the accumulation of to an engrossed amount; no matter the absurd cost(s) charged, if it is payed then it is quite obviously ‘valid’. Hence the $500s charged for a 1 mile or less ambulance ‘trip’. I believe the term is ‘ g o u g i n g ‘. I heard of a ‘$100 or less’ replacement part, ordered by your government, that was billed at $10,000 (no, not a typo on my part) and payed … in full. Transpose across and t h o u g h o u t ‘ y o u r ‘ medical , insurances and , so-called ‘ big pharma ‘. A few minutes with a doctor on a hospital ward - several hundred $’s ‘gouged’ to your ‘insurance account’.

Hey docs you caught up with my viewpoint. I was in pathology in 1989 asking these questions. No GI doctors were NOT coming back to pathology and asking why their organ was sick. I was getting in to arguments as a psychiatrist with Missouri board of health because I was interested in the gut in 2000. I was ecstatic in 2010 when NIH finally started funding gut research in the microbiome. I then in 2005, unfortunately contracracted bacterial meningitis and had 2 strokes (1/10 live, I did). I still continue my medical education but I'm not practicing medicine. I am happy there now is a functional medicine specialty. I was the proto functional medicine psychiatrist.
