(NaturalNews) A study led by Dr. Boyle of Rush University Center in

Chicago has concluded that people with greater life purpose maintained

cognitive ability better than those who weren't leading a purposeful life.

Dr. Boyle and her team wanted to establish a strategy for avoiding

Alzheimer's consequences rather than attempting to find a way of keeping

brain plaques and tangles from accumulating.

After following 246 senior citizens -- with up to ten years of annual

cognitive exams and neurological testing -- and quizzing them about life

missions and then doing brain autopsies after their deaths, they reached a

conclusion.

(1) Life purpose/activity: As people age, they're prone to getting brain

plaques and tangles. But if they have a life purpose zestfully pursued, they

avoid dementia despite those physical impairments.

There are many real life examples of people managing well as they keenly

continue to pursue their life adventures, especially adventures that require

mental focus and activity.

Many experts also agree that engaging in mental activities which are new or

challenging as one ages also helps retain mental acuity. Walking briskly in

nature a mile or so four days a week also helps maintain one's cognitive

abilities.

Four specific nutritional approaches

(2) Coconut oil: After failing to get her dementia addled husband into an

Alzheimer drug trial because they were no longer accepting volunteers, Dr.

Newport discovered the active ingredient in the formula tested was a

synthetic medium chain triglyceride (MCT).

Getting patent rights for big bucks requires the creation of synthetic

drugs. Synthetic drugs always produce side effects and their PR exceeds

their efficacy.

Dr. Newport discovered that coconut oil contained natural MCT. Her husband

had entered the darker side of dementia with his late stage Alzheimer's. Yet

after around a month and a half he was almost completely recovered after

taking a tablespoon of coconut oil twice daily. Metabolizing MCTs produces

ketones, which dissolve brain plaques and tangles.

An Australian shared his escape from early stage Alzheimer's on YouTube

using both coconut oil and niacin (B3), a supplement pioneered in

orthomolecular psychiatry for many mental issues. Both episodes are here

(3) Vitamin D3 and curcumin: The synergy of combining curcumin with vitamin

D3 to prevent or reverse Alzheimer's is a recent development. Each substance

alone has shown efficacy on dementia, so why wouldn't combining the two

create a powerful synergy?

This has been recently proven to be effective without side effects

(http://www.naturalnews.com/035328_vitamin_D3_curcumin_Alzheimers.html).

(4) Eliminate aluminum: Avoid aluminum cooking utensils and underarm

deodorants containing aluminum. Vaccines contain aluminum that goes right

into your bloodstream. Aluminum bypasses the blood brain barrier and

accumulates in soft tissue cells that regenerate less often than other

tissues, creating plaque.

The brain is an organ that is made of cells that recycle more slowly than

most other organ tissue cells. Silica is ideal for removing aluminum from

soft tissue and eliminating through the urine. The herb horsetail contains a

lot of silica and can be made into a tincture to provide constant silica

dosing.

There are also supplements and mineral waters sold commercially that are

high in silica

(5) Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): Alpha lipoic acid has demonstrated stopping the

progression of dementia from early stage into late stage Alzheimer's with a

daily 600 mg dose.

ALA's oxidative ability is coupled, reducing brain inflammation along with

the some metal chelating activity for heavy metals, including lead and

mercury (http://www.naturalnews.com/025722_supplement_brain_memory.html).

Dietary advice includes reducing fructose of all types and eliminating

processed simple carbs. Brain cells are cholesterol based. Reducing fats for

any reason is not a good idea (http://www.naturalnews.com).
