Recently, an 82-year-old woman with dementia, who could not recognize her own son, miraculously recovered her memory after changing her diet.
When her mother's condition became so serious that, for her own safety, she had to be kept in the hospital, Mark Hatzer almost agreed to lose another parent.
Sylvia had lost her memory and part of her mind. She had even telephoned the police once to accuse the nurse who was taking care of her abduction.
A dietary change, which included large amounts of blueberries and walnuts, had a significant impact on Sylvia's condition as her recipes are now shared by the Alzheimer's Society in the United States.
Sylvia has also started incorporating other dietary foods, including broccoli, kale, spinach, sunflower seeds, green tea, oats, sweet potatoes and even dark chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa . All these foods are known to be good for the health of the brain.
Mark and Sylvia set up a common diet after deciding that the drugs themselves were not enough. They then studied research showing that dementia rates were much lower in the Mediterranean countries and copied much of their eating habits.
According to Mirror.co.uk:
"Mark, whose brother Brent died in 1977, said," When my mother was in the hospital, she thought it was a hotel, but the worst she had ever been to.
She did not recognize me and called the police because she thought she was kidnapped.
Since the death of my father and our brother, we have always formed a small, very close family unit, just me and my mother, so the fact that she does not know who I am has devastated me.
We were a duo who went everywhere together. I was desperate and I never felt so alone because I did not have any other family to turn to.
Overnight, we went from a happy family to a family in crisis.
When she left the hospital, instead of prescription drugs, we thought we might try an alternative treatment.
In some countries, Alzheimer's disease is virtually unknown because of their diet.
Everyone knows the fish, but there are also blueberries, strawberries, Brazil nuts and walnuts - these apparently have the shape of a brain to give us the sign that they are good for the brain. "
There were also cognitive exercises that Mark and her mother would do together, like crossword puzzles and social get-togethers. Sylvia would also practice using a pedaling device on her chair.
Mark said, "It was not a miracle overnight, but after a few months she began to remember things like birthdays and became herself, more alert, more committed.
People think that once the diagnosis is made, your life is over. You will have good and bad days, but it is not necessarily the end. For an 82-year-old woman, she is fine, she is 10 years younger, and if you meet her, you would not know she lived all that.
She needed help with all kinds of things, now she's turning the tide. We live older in this country, but we do not necessarily live in better health. "
The body's ability to heal is greater than anyone has allowed you to believe
This story shows just how resilient our body is if we are in the right environment. Most of these types of diseases are often diet-related, which means that they can truly be cured with an appropriate diet. Of course, some of them are genetic and you may carry the gene, but that does not guarantee that it will become active, you can do some things to reduce the risk to a minimum. Our health is our greatest wealth. We must realize that we have a say in our lives and what is our destiny.
We have already addressed the subject of how aluminum accumulated in the brain is directly related to dementia and more specifically to Alzheimer's disease. It is important to be able to identify this as a cause, because it means that we can do our part to limit exposure and also detoxify our brain and body from this damaging heavy metal.
In an article titled Strong evidence linking aluminum to Alzheimer's disease , recently published on The Hippocratic Post's website, Exley explained:
"We already know that the aluminum content of brain tissue in late or sporadic Alzheimer's disease is significantly higher than in controls of the same age. For example, people who develop Alzheimer's disease in their late sixties or older also accumulate more aluminum in their brain tissue than people of the same age who do not have the disease.
Even higher levels of aluminum have been found in the brains of individuals diagnosed with an early form of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (usually late), exposed to unusually high exposure to aluminum through the environment (for example in Camelford) or by their place of work. This means that Alzheimer's disease appears much earlier, for example in the 50s or early 60s, in people exposed to unusually high levels of aluminum in their daily lives. "
His latest study, published in December 2016 by the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology , titled: Aluminum in the Brain Tissue of Familial Alzheimer's Disease , is one of many studies he and his team have done. on the subject of aluminum over the years. However, this particular study is thought to be of significant value because it is the first time scientists have measured aluminum levels in the brain tissue of individuals diagnosed with familial Alzheimer's disease. (Alzheimer's disease is considered family-related if two or more family members have the disease.)
According to their article, the aluminum levels found in brain tissue donated by people who died with a diagnosis of familial Alzheimer's disease were at the highest level ever measured in human brain tissue.
Professor Exley wrote:
"We are now showing that some of the highest levels of aluminum ever measured in human brain tissue have been found in people who have been diagnosed with familial Alzheimer's disease.
Aluminum levels in the brain tissues of people with familial Alzheimer's disease are similar to those in those who died of aluminum-induced encephalopathy while undergoing kidney dialysis. "
He explained that:
"Familial Alzheimer's disease is an early form of the disease whose first symptoms appear at the age of 30 or 40 years. It is extremely rare, perhaps 2 to 3% of all cases of Alzheimer's disease. Its bases are genetic mutations associated with a protein called amyloid beta, a protein strongly linked to the cause of all forms of Alzheimer's disease.
People with familial Alzheimer's disease produce more beta-amyloid and the onset of Alzheimer's symptoms is much earlier in life. "
The first step towards change is to raise awareness
As more and more people become aware of the true causes of these neurodegenerative brain disorders, the more we can do our part to prevent them and even treat them and hopefully eventually eliminate elements such as aluminum and other products chemicals in our food to prevent this disease from occurring.
