The mind is a many splendid thing, and slowly losing it — can be devastating beyond belief.

Alzheimer’s is a very scary disease.

There is no cure and the signs that you are on the road to developing the disease are often not very clear.

Until recently, people with signs of dementia were diagnosed as having either Alzheimer’s or vascular dementia.

Experts used the term “vascular” in relation to dementia when they found signs of a stroke, mini-strokes, or clogged arteries.  All three of these factors can kill the brain’s nerve cells (neurons) by cutting off their oxygen supply.

Autopsy studies show that Read the rest of this entry »

Recent headlines —- “Our Health System is Broke”. So what’s new?

Our government says it will give this a high priority and fix the system. Biggest joke of the year.

Why? Because our government no more wants to fix the system then it wants to cut its salaries in half.

Just about every senator and congressman or woman is being paid off, big time, in one form or another, through political contributions, favors, bribes, etc., by pharmaceutical and medical related companies.

The same is true for the agricultural giants and food processing giants.

Check out the history of Medicare costs. Every time the government fixed the system, it cost you and me a bundle more money.

The US has the costliest health system in the developed world. You would think then that Read the rest of this entry »

After oxygen, nothing is more important to your body’s survival than ‘healthy’ water.

But what does ‘healthy’ water mean?

Healthy water means the water has been filtered, is not carbonated, has a pH over 8, and if possible, is ionized.

Water out of our taps, as most people know, is not the purest water to drink, and many large and small corporations alike are taking advantage of that knowledge with the fear they have generated about drinking tap water.

They spend hundreds of millions of dollars yearly spewing out propaganda that your tap water is dangerous to drink. Not true. It is just as safe to drink as theirs.

Bottled water has become a multi-billion dollar business for these corporations and is probably one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public.

Why? Because most of the bottled water sold is Read the rest of this entry »

There is a direct connection between Omega-3 essential fatty acids and the health of the brain.

Why? Because research is increasingly showing that emotional, mental and psychiatric disorders like depression, bipolar disorder and possibly schizophrenia may more likely be the result of dietary deficiencies than genetic predispositions.

The research also shows that the lack of Omega-3 fatty acids increases memory loss, makes learning new tasks more difficult, increases blue moods and probably promotes the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

The omega-3 fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a fatty acid that is found in high concentration in the gray matter of the brain and is an important ingredient for optimal brain function.

DHA is instrumental in the function of Read the rest of this entry »

Omega-3 is a special, “essential” unsaturated fat — one our bodies can not make but must have to run well.

Omega-3 fats help build the membranes that surround cells in the body and help make hormones that affect blood clotting and inflammation, according to Harvard University doctors.

The fats play very special roles in babies, lining cells and aiding in the development of brain cells and eyes — which is why Omega 3s are in breast milk and being added to some formulas.

Studies show the fish oils are especially good for… Read the rest of this entry »

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is not a disease we catch. It is a disease we develop, mostly as a result of poor lifestyle habits regarding food, drink, and lack of exercise.

Of the millions of people who have HBP, about a third have no idea they have the problem, as they either do not have symptoms or do not recognize the symptoms they have. Only a blood pressure test will confirm whether or not they have HBP.

If you do have HBP, then the major causes such as; clogged arteries, congestive heart failure, diabetes, kidney disease, over indulgence in alcohol (regularly more than one or two drinks a day), and certain food allergies need to be explored.

If food allergies are the cause, then the major culprits are… Read the rest of this entry »

A lot of women are under the impression that the risk of heart disease is higher for men. But it is not so. Women are more vulnerable than men when it comes to heart disease.

Due to this misconception, while having a heart attack, women tend to react differently than men. They tend to delay emergency treatment as they find it hard to believe that they are having a heart attack.

If you are a woman, there are some very important things you should know about heart problems and what you should do in case of an emergency.

Studies show that women, on average, are about ten years older than men when they have a heart attack. What this means is that… Read the rest of this entry »
