I get a lot of people asking me about Alzheimer’s disease, wanting to know what causes it and to find out if there is an effective way to reverse this condition.

I believe you can completely reverse it.

Alzheimer’s disease is a loss of memory potentially from an accumulation of plaque in the brain and chronic dehydration. Let me go off on a tangent for a minute then I’ll get down to the nitty gritty…

What the Word “Memory” Can Teach Us

Let’s look at the etymology of the word memory. “Mem” is a Hebrew word that means water. “Ory” literally means light. So, memory means water and light. I find that really interesting and it gives some clues into the best way to heal this condition.

What if someone with Alzheimer’s started to drink more water, with some lemon in it, which clears plaque from the brain? And got out into the sun which relaxes and calms the nerves. Sun gazing first thing in the morning or at sunset brings more light or “information” into the eyes and to the brain. After all, light is information. We send information across countries on fibre optic cables and it’s just a bunch of travelling light. I believe getting out into the sun can transform the body and mind. Just as I believe really hydrating the body with fresh pure water and juices can be immensely healing.

A lot of time people with Alzheimer’s have been living on soda and different kinds of not-so-healthy food their whole life. Even in nursing homes the ‘nutritional drinks’ they administer are often full of garbage. People tend to drink less and less water and become increasingly dehydrated over time and distance. Since the brain has such a high water, content this can take a toll on mental health and I believe can even lead to Alzheimer’s.

Hydration as a Way to Heal Alzheimer’s

Years ago, my father took 10 Alzheimer’s patients down to Pensacola, Florida. He put them on a fast where he had them drink water with a small amount of salt and juices to help the rehydration process along.  Every day he made sure they went for long walks, got out into the sun and swam in the ocean.

Guess what? Every single one of them reversed their symptoms! To different degrees for sure, but every single one of them had results. In fact, a lot of them came back with a full fledged memory. It was an amazing experience to see them reconnect with their loved ones. So, I know healing can happen.

Use It or Lose It

A big part of preventing Alzheimer’s is using the brain. Many people, as they get older, tend to sit around watching TV and not doing things where they are interacting with others. I believe that this is a major contributing factor to dementia and Alzheimer’s as well.

We need to constantly be active. Having conversations, sharing with others, doing things we find interesting and fun, always learning, moving & creating.  Then the brain says, “Hey I’m being used, I wanna work, I wanna function the way I’m supposed to”. When you’re not being mentally active the brain perceives this as, “Well I’m not very useful, I’m just gonna float through life”. Eventually this kind of inactivity does make you think, Who am I? Where am I? What’s going on?

If somebody has Alzheimer’s, you can help them by encouraging them to interact with others. Help them to do things they love and get them moving. That simple cross motion pattern of walking can actually rewire the brain!

A Checklist to Get Rid of Alzheimer’s

Here is my simple checklist of things to do to get rid of Alzheimer’s:

Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting needs to be incorporated to begin the process of autophagy which will start to regenerate the tissues of the brain. It will also activate ketosis on a daily basis which removes fat (another contributing factor to Alzheimer’s). The brain thrives on ketones, and burning fat at this rate will generate Embryonic Style Stem Cells (ESSC) which play a role in replacing weak and damaged tissues of the body, including brain cells.  Ideally this would mean fasting the individual for a minimum of 16 hours per day.

That would look like consuming all food for the day between, say, noon and 6pm. Outside those times they can have lots of water or herbal teas (with no calories and no sweeteners). If they could stretch this fasting out to 23 hours per day, and limit food to only 1 meal, I believe massive results would be achieved much quicker.

Water
Have one litre of water with a couple pinches of Himalayan salt first thing in the morning. Aim to drink 1L of water per 22kgs of body weight every day.

Sun & Exercise
Go for a 45 minute walk out in the sun everyday. If possible, include swimming in the ocean or some other water activity.

Whole Foods
Look for some nutrition to enhance memory. Blueberries, activated walnuts and pecans, different types of fruits all stimulate the brain. High water content fruit like watermelon is especially good for the brain. Ever heard the term, “Use your melon?”. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Backed by Science

There has been a lot of published research about this and the findings are very encouraging.

One article published in the Aging journal, by Dale Bredesen, gave the following recommendations:

1. eliminate all processed sugars
2. eliminate gluten, meat and processed food from the diet
3. increase vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts
4. to reduce stress, take up yoga
5. as a second measure reduce the stress of your job, meditate for 20 minutes twice per day
6. increase sleep, getting at least 7-8+ hours per night
7. get B12 methylcobalamin from Nori (seaweed) each day
8. get out in the sun each day
9. take walnut oil or eat germinated walnuts
10. fast for a minimum of 16 hours between dinner and breakfast, and for a minimum of three hours between dinner and bedtime
11. exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes-45 min, 4-6 days per week.

The results for nine of the 10 patients who followed this protocol suggested that memory loss may be reversed, and improvement sustained.

You may also want to add the herb Ginko Biloba or Gotu Kola (as tea) to a daily regime as it has shown efficacy in scientific studies.

Avoiding Alzheimer’s and even reversing the symptoms is absolutely possible! All it takes is the time, care, and love to share this information with people.
