I got worse cognitive, memory, mood, joint, connective tissue and many other problems after menopause. I fixed myself with organic hormone creams and many supplements for balance and health. My experience is that women are being bullied into more radiation mammograms, bad hormone replacement products such as those made from horse urine, and/or herbal products that can cause side effects (breast pain, vertigo) and just don't make life normal. I noticed that I needed different minerals after menopause...for me specifically, copper (no more copper pipes here), and boron for muscle strength (in addition to other minerals I already took before menopause). Other problems that I fixed prior to menopause were getting magnesium threonate, and vitamin D with other support such as K2 and magnesium. After menopause I needed to add thyroid support food supplement which helps a lot. I am upset about the the terrible idea that gluten free, no GMOs and/or dairy free helps...not for me...I needed to get the glyphosate and other chemicals out of my diet and reduce sugar and EMFs . I fast for 12 hours every night. I love Good Fat, so I use olive oil and eat pasture raised meat and dairy. I could not continue my avid tennis and gardening without all of these things AND the Essentrics movement program. WHEN YOU NOTICE A BRAIN PROBLEM IT IS NOT TOO LATE. I got even more improvement when I added PEA/PQQ to my CoQ10, and take DMAE a few times a week, and the type II collagen capsules were a lifesaver for hand arthritis. These things need to be considered standard care because they are all expensive...but not as expensive as long term care. Some unusual things I do is take gamma E and boluloke (for arthritis prevention, and reducing blood clot risk from vaccines and HRT) and. I am just a normal non professional person, and I hope this helps someone.

Jeez no wonder my 60 year old husband has been displaying symptoms the past few years, and been on a C-Pap the last 9 years but has been resistant and weaning to using it for 2 years He’s been working 3rd shift as a fuel driver for this past year. Black out blinds during the day while sleeping and refuses to open them on his days off. I kick him out to the back deck for sunlight and he fights me on everything I’ve recommended which this neurologist has mentioned; working out to a sweat, it’s enough to get him to go for a daily walk. My diet is vegan but he still eats some chicken and eggs, wild fish, but no dairy. I’m blown away by this doctor’s information. My husband’s father, uncle’s and aunt’s on that side all suffered from it. I just recently came to conclude that he needs a functional medicine doctor to test for heavy metal toxicity and Lyme disease too.

I don't have a PHD in biochemistry so most of this conversation just numbs my brain after a time. Or maybe it's because I'm 79 years old and my brain is starting to shrink... And most doctors don't even know about all these tests or how to evaluate them (especially at the VA where I go for my healthcare), and who is going to pay for all these assessments and tests? Oh well...

I make a home made salad dressing in a mortar and pestle... Smash 2 cloves of organic garlic... 10-min. Later, I add 4-6 peppercorns... Smash in... Then sometimes I add an organic clove... Smash... I might add a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper... Then, Himalayan salt chunks, maybe a teaspoon, smashing that in... then add two tablespoons of raw buckwheat honey. Continue to smoosh and swirl that into a smooth honeypaste... Then I add about a quarter cup of organic, extra-virgin olive oil. After I work that it. ( Still all being done inside my mortar and pestle) I then add the juice and pulp bits from 1/2 organic lemon. ( Some say the rind of organic lemon is good to use, but I have not tried that). This is a tasty dressing. I just hope I am not defeating the purpose by using buckwheat honey. I love the taste, and it's supposed to be very healthy. ( PS adding the clove to this recipe is optional, and might taste better without it, but I try to use cloves occasionally to get a good combination of healthy exposure, so I use a clove occasionally). I hope this salad dressing idea is ok with the honey. Would not taste as well without buckwheat honey.

[@sallysykes2888]

Sounds great but I always worry about honey. Most of it is blended rubbish. Hard to find the real stuff and real honey is very expensive as is decent olive oil which must always show date of production on the bottle. Olive oil goes rancid after six months. In supermarkets cheap olive oil has no production date on the bottle.

Ps Rather than doing so many tests which one can be obsessive about which causes stress and worry, would it not be better to just maximise our diet to reduce all risk parameters ? To increase our exercise and use of our mind and actively manage our stress etc Most of us know if we have sleep apnoea. I'm not sure what to do about the methylation prevention though. I didn't quite catch what supplements you suggested for that. High infra red ( at the end of the day) is good to walk or sunbathe in for mitochondrial healing. I think this is a great video 👍and my only criticism is of the requirements necessary to implement the advice into one's life :- if you are tracking Everything you do, and testing your biochemistry to make sure your parameters are good, then you could not help but become an obsessive and compulsive person. It could potentially impede your ability to Live and have Joy !

Curious, if I may, about your“ not good sleep “ comment? Do you have some ailment that prevents you from sleep or do you just feel like you don’t need to sleep longer? Even though I know the body does require a certain amount of sleep to rest, regenerate, and restore itself for optimal health, but like you I consistently average about 5 hours and wake ready to start my day. I’ve been this way most of my adult life. I’d like to sleep longer so that my body can do it’s job of maintenance during the night. I guess I’m just wondering since you say no cognitive decline on 4 hours of sleep, is this by choice or because something prevents you from being able to sleep, like insomnia? Thanks

Please could you 1.write out the abbreviations used here for both the tests and what they are for, anx what the results should be optimally. 2. The genes you refer to and what they represent. 3.

[@kaceeboxers3580]

APO E 4 is a dna snp or allele, something we inherit from each parent. We get one copy from our mother and one copy from our father. When Dr Bredesen says one copy, that means a person has one APO E 4. Homozygous or homozygote means both copies are APO E 4. And the third is no copies. This is a simple blood test looking for specific dna markers - ask your doctor, or demand, depending on who your doctor is. The brain definitively runs better on ketones over sugar. It appears sugar is just unhealthy for us overall. Not only contributing to high glucose numbers, but also metabolic disease, in general. Plus, cancer thrives on sugar. Difficult to cut down and get off, but it can be life saving. Look for good quality monk fruit with no fillers, as a replacement. Some people, me for instance, cannot do dairy. Dairy in my diet creates inflammation. Instead I use coconut milk. And IMO, with wheat being grown and processed so differently than it was in times past, this also creates inflammation in the GI system and can create a leaky gut, where the cilia lining the intestinal walls is degraded and the walls become porous. Gluten leaks into the blood system and our antibodies, our soldiers, see this gluten protein as foreign invaders and all havoc breaks loose. It is so unfortunate that the foods available to us today are not anything like what our grandparents ate. Foods are genetically modified, ultra processed, full of sugars and seed oils - all bad for a healthy system. I realize this didn’t answer your questions exactly, but hope it helps. Check out the Facebook group Bredesen Protocol Support Group, unaffiliated.

Dr Robert Lustig and Ron Johnson are experts in fructose and insulin resistance. Dr Lustig has explained that fructose is bad … dangerous. But if you eat fruit which has fructose, you limit the amount of fruit and don’t juice it - whole fruit can be managed by the body because of its fibre content which helps mitigate the fructose digestion.

I think an approach to improvement on getting the information out is to take on the accountant mindset. In Sweden, where I live, quite a great deal of the practising MDs receive their compulsory continuous education from the main pharma companies (just as accountants does receive theirs from the accountant firms, but the accountant firms can not ignore rules because their clients would face loss at IRS or in administrative courts). But pointing out the cost for society* with the number of people being sick, on disability, early retirement. * = i) The cost for the individual having lesser paid jobs than their actual potential compared to if they were healthy and for shorter time, leaving them with lesser pension. ii) For society as a whole, cost of a healthcare just monitoring (at best) symptoms will increase cost, and following i) it chips away at the taxbase.

you are so right. here, the big pharma companies are running the show. our "leaders" don't do things that make sense and are right and prudent for society, they do what's best for the bottom line of big insurance companies and big pharma etc. Big taxes are coming soon for everyone who isn't getting all the "free" stuff, because someone actually does have to pay for all the stuff they give away to get votes.

Just how many acronyms can you fit in a 50 minute video. I think it'd be nice if some of them were defined. Also, I'd suggest that most GP's are no knowledgeable about these blood tests described here, nor do they have the ability to order them. Will medical insurance pay for them? Where are the doctors that one can see to deal with these issues?

How can we demand these tests?? How do we know which tests to start with and to insist on? My husband is 82. He is showing major signs of cognitive decline such as short term memory loss and trouble understanding his check books, his beautiful handwriting is getting bad and he has a hand tremor that he tries to hide. I tried to get him tested with husband new doctor, but he just did a 10 question softball "test" and nothing came of it. I don't know where to go and I'm concerned it may be too late. I have tried getting him on some supplements but he's inconsistent about it and also about the other meds he takes- blood pressure and blood thinners (he had 2 stents placed about 10 years ago. Anyone have suggestions?? I'm really frightened about all this. I'm 62 and doing everything I can for him and for myself (prevention).

I know he said it was good to eat processed olive oil but studies show not to especially if you are insulin resistant and fatty liver.its best to avoid all processed food since the oul is extremely concentrated. But if tou want the benefit just eat the organic olive. Always do your research. Oh and there is oil in everything in the store and in everything in restaurants. Dr fuhrman is a good source too. Avoid added salt. There is plenty in the food naturally. It is corrosive to the blood vessels. Asians get most hemorogic strokes and usa geys most ischemic strokes

WHERE do you find doctors who can do these early diagnostic testing? I have been looking for a functional / integrative medicine MD for MONTHS in a major US city … AND I can’t find a doctor. My primary care doctor won’t order these tests (even though my health insurance provider has ALREADY TOLD ME they would PAY for the testing) because she says she doesn’t know what to do with the results.

Let go of excessive burdens that you cant carry. To carve a new life, you must leave your pass behind.. Anything that brings a negative thought to your mind should be pushed out immediately. I think our brain ages way too fast when we are negative. Most centurions are happy people. They don't worry. They laugh and are more positive than most people. Practice the attitude of gratitude. Be thankful for the little things in life. Simplify your life by downsizing your home.Because, as we get older, we don't need a 3 bedroom home.We don't need a 2 bedroom home. Let yourself be that kid again. Always remember to pray. I think that if people are on medication, they should take test that determines If the medication that you are taking is right for you based on your dna. A lot of doctors don't give you this test.

Our current economic model - infinite growth measured by GDP - precludes a healthy population. If people were healthy fewer health care services and treatments would be purchased, the GDP would drop and panic (recession) would ensue.

[@zarolive6858]

Then the healthcare model will gradually shift from treating a disease to preventing a disease. There’s a tiny shift in healthcare towards preventative care, although still unaffordable to many. We can’t change the whole world all at once, but we can change it doing small steps; to change the world our values and conscience has to change. Remember, we consumers vote with every single dollar we spend. Every individual should have a “health” and self-care motif. Perhaps then, at least our children will reap the benefits of our doings. Cheers! 👊🏻✌️

Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Schizophrenia and ALS are caused by a defective ATP7B copper binding gene, which was discovered after mapping the genome. Patients with these disorders have been tested and they all had elevated levels of free copper, which is copper unbound to ceruloplasmin. Except for Schizophrenia which onsets at around age 21, a person with this defect will live a relatively normal life, aside from high BP caused by the elevated free copper. Their brain is protected by the blood brain barrier which starts to deteriorate when they get old and becomes permeable, allowing the toxic free copper to enter the brain, where it short circuits it. Bound copper is totally safe and non toxic, but unbound is toxic and a conductor of electricity. When the free copper gets high it also depletes the body of B12, zinc, D3 and other things. When the B12 gets low at the tissue level, methylmalonic acid gets high and blocks enzymes in the urea cycle that convert ammonia to urea, which causes an elevated ammonia. Elevated ammonia levels have been found in Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, and Schizophrenia and ammonia is a neurotoxin. In the cases of Schizophrenia, the person is born with a defective blood brain barrier, which is why it onsets earlier. To reverse these conditions, you first need to replace all the vitamins and minerals that free copper depletes. You also need to start chelating the free copper by taking 50 mg of zinc one hour before meals, 3 times per day. Ammonium Tetrathiomolybdate is another copper chelator which is much faster than zinc. Allopurinol is another thing that will lower free copper, and also losartan BP meds. Turmeric/curcumin also chelates copper, which is why people in India rarely have these so called diseases. Many cases of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, and Schizophrenia are caused by ACE inhibitor BP meds. Oxybutynin incontinence meds also cause symptoms that are misdiagnosed as one of these diseases. There are numerous people who are prescribed Lisinopril, become psychotic and are misdiagnosed with Schizophrenia. It's synthesized snake venom from the Brazilian Pit Viper. Along with neurological problems, the ACE drugs also cause swelling in some people. I got bit by a copperhead in Oklahoma, which is a pit viper, and my ankle swelled, just like some people who are taking ace drugs. A certain percentage of people are born with a deficiency in ace proteins, and they'll have an adverse reaction to ace drugs. Another thing that ace drugs cause is hypoglycemia. It'll knock the glucose level down into dangerous levels, and when the glucose goes too low, it causes confusion, delerium, hallucinations, tremors etc. When a doctor sees this, they aren't gonna know it's a BP med, so they'll diagnose them with Schizophrenia if they're younger, or Alzheimer's, Parkinson's or ALS if older. As long as they continue taking ACE drugs daily, they'll continue in a state of delerium. Once the drug is discontinued, they'll go back to normal in one to two days. The free copper test code at Lab Corp is 279071. This is different than a serum copper test. This test will measure the amount or ratio of unbound free copper contained in the serum copper. Normal free copper should be 0-10 mcg/dl. Also get your loved one tested for methylmalonic acid and ammonia, then look at their medication list to make sure they are not taking Oxybutynin or an ACE inhibitor. Good luck and God Bless

[@DebraCole-dr5fy]

What if you have 45 year old copper pipes as I do in my house? Can't afford to buy water or to replace pipes. And WOW! I have copperheads on my property, but never got bit! Also, was taking Oxybutynin, but only for a short time. Thanks for this info!

Start with a very low carb or ketogenic diet. Don’t eat three hours before bedtime and stay fasted for at least 12 hours. Start with simple things you can do , like removing sugar or snacks. I came upon Bredesen’s diet accidentally when I put mom on a keto diet and she woke up. Previously she slept most of the day. She was in a mild cognitive stage of dementia.

Please read Amy Bergers book on reversing Alzheimer's. It's called Alzheimer's antidote. There's information on diet and lifestyle and how many of the symptoms can be undone. And yes like someone suggested above in the comments Amy too suggests a low carb/ ketogenic diet. The brain needs cholesterol and when we reduce it drastically through cholesterol lowering drugs that's a road towards dementia.

Tri methyl glycine I think. It is a form of choline. Homocystine is a product and a raw material of the methylation cycle. Various vitamins and amino acids are necessary Co reagents. By providing the raw materials in abundance in theory you increase methylation. Glycine, choline, b5, b6 and b12 are all needed. Creatine is a base for the energy cycle and also involved in methylation. By taking creatine, the body makes less, thus freeing resources. I hope I got it all right.

There is a huge multi part cycle. Homocystine builds up when the cycle isn't cycling enough. You build up methylation to reduce Homocystine
