This Overlooked Nutrient May Be The Key To Brain Power
Aging is inevitable. But have you noticed that some very elderly people still don’t miss a thing? Some of my patients fall into this category. I’ve worked with many centenarians who remain quick-witted, with keen memories and focus. You can be one of these people, too — an all-star senior… Inside all of you, your cells are constantly busy dividing up to two trillion times per day. The new cells replace old, damaged, or dead cells and help you live, grow and thrive. Human cell lines have built-in mortality. As your cells divide, there’s a limit at which their limit is reached. There’s an internal mechanism o...

This Vitamin Can Save Your Brain
Your brain has amazing abilities. And it can heal itself. That’s not something you’re likely to hear from mainstream medicine — especially if you or a loved one suffer from the effects of stroke, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s or another form of dementia. Here at the Sears Institute for Anti-Aging Medicine, I’ve seen many people with brain damage. And, sadly, most have been deemed “hopeless” by so-called medical experts. But I can tell you there is nothing hopeless about dementia — no matter what its cause. With the right nutrients, there are times when brain damage can be reversed. And now recent research from...

The Vitamin That Defeats Dementia…
Technology is a gift, and I appreciate all the options we have today that our ancestors could not even imagine. But there’s a price that comes with it. Toxins from our industrial world are changing the playing field, and one of the most troubling side effects is showing up in my patients at a very young age. You see, my patients with early-onset dementia have been getting younger and younger. I used to see the disease start in people in their late 50s. But now I’m seeing more and more patients in their late 40s. Now, a new study in the Surgical Neurology International journal confirms what I’ve found. Res...

Half a handful of nuts a day 'reduces early death risk'
Conclusion This Dutch cohort of middle-aged to elderly adults generally found people were less likely to die in the following 10 years if they ate a small number of nuts a day compared with none. The study has strengths in its large sample size and that cause of death was followed up for the full cohort using valid medical codes. However, there are various points to bear in mind before we jump to the conclusion that nuts are the magic ingredient that will slash our risk of death. No clear trends It is difficult to draw any clear interpretations about how nut consumption may be associated with risk of death overall or fr...

This Vitamin Could Save Your Life
For years, I’ve recommended that my patients take a special family of super-nutrients with the power to boost their health and save their lives in at least a half a dozen ways. I’m talking about tocotrienols, an especially potent form of vitamin E. Tocotrienols, which comprise four out of the eight types of vitamin E, are powerful antioxidants that until recently were ignored by mainstream medicine. But the patients at my wellness clinic and regular readers of my newsletter will know that I’ve recommended them as a critical nutrient for years. And I do it because almost daily I observe the effects of the...
