As many as forty percent of the population might be at risk of a vitamin B12 deficiency.I wrote the following,I Cured My Neighbors' Alzheimer's, andexplained how my neighbor was cured of his Alzheimer's like symptoms with a series of Vitamin B 12 shots.His dementia like symptoms were being cause by a Vitamin B12 deficiency -- a low blood level of vitamin B12.The odds that an older person is suffering from a Vitamin B12 deficiency is quite high.

The vitamin B12-grain connection
Nutrient deficiencies from wheat/grain consumption are common, especially deficiencies of positively-charged minerals magnesium, calcium, iron, and zinc, due to the presence of phytates that block their absorption. But deficiency of vitamin B12 can also occur for other reasons unrelated to grain phytates and, if not corrected, can lead to symptoms such as fatigue and mental fogginess, as well as some real health problems.
Gastrointestinal absorption of vitamin B12 can be tenuous because it requires the participation of two factors/sites: so-called intrinsic factor produced by the parietal cells of the stomach to bind B12 ...

Can Your Antacid Cause Alzheimer’s Disease?
Can your antacid really cause Alzheimer’s Disease? Recent research suggests that, indeed, proton pump inhibitors, some of the most common drugs for reducing feelings of heartburn, can cause an increase in the ‘beta amyloid’ deposits in the brain that are indicative of Alzheimer’s Disease.
This is in addition to some of the other serious Proton Pump Inhibitor Side Effects, like osteoporosis, magnesium deficiency and heart rhythm problems; Antacid Medications can Even Ruin Your Gut.
These problems can occur even when these heartburn relieving drugs are taken for short amounts of time. All too often, though, these d...

The Ten Worst Wellness Programs and What They Do to Harm Employees
By AL LEWIS and VIK KHANNA
If corporate wellness didn’t already exist, no one would invent it. In that sense, it’s a little like communism, baseball, or Outlook.
After all, why would any company want to purchase programs that damage morale,reduce productivity, drive costs up…and don’t work 90%-95% of the time? And that’s according to the proponents. What the critics say can’t be repeated in a family publication such as ours.
Still, those are the employers’ problems. However, the employers’ problems become the employees’ problems when employees are “voluntarily” forced to submit to programs that...

The OTHER 99%: It’s not just about celiac disease
I want to take this issue head on, since popular “wisdom” is that problems with consumption of wheat and related grains begin and end with celiac disease. The Wheat Lobby, for instance, frequently argues that, if you do not have celiac disease, you have no business avoiding wheat and related grains.
Defenders of wheat, such as those cited in this New York Times article, argue that celiac disease affects 1% of the human population, but that the other 99% of people not only can consume wheat with impunity, but can actually do so and obtain health benefits due to fiber and B vitamin content. They say that eliminat...
