Are You Ready To “ De-Age ” Your Brain?

Despite the doom and gloom dogma being doled out by conventional medicine, most types of dementia – even Alzheimer’s – can be prevented. In many cases, it can even be reversed if it’s caught early enough. That’s great news. But so often, by the time these debilitating conditions are identified, brain decline has already become extremely advanced. Today, researchers have found a better and faster way to identify dementia risk. A groundbreaking study published in the journal Science has revealed that an easy telomere blood test can provide important clues about your risk and the progress of brain deterioration.1 As a regular reader, you already know telomeres are the protective caps at the ends of your chromosomes. They’re like the plastic tips on the ends of your shoelaces that keep your DNA from unraveling. The longer your telomeres are, the younger your cells behave. The shorter they get, the more vulnerable you are to “old age” and the so-called “diseases of aging.” Scientists have known for years that shorter telomeres on immune system cells called leukocytes in brain tissue are closely associated with Alzheimer’s and almost every other form of dementia.2 The problem is that accessing these brain-tissue leukocytes requires a brain biopsy, a risky surgical procedure that involves removing a small piece of brain tissue. But now researchers from the University of Chicago have discovered that telomere length in blood cells closely mirrors telomere lengt...
