The finding supports the results of previous studies that found evidence of the protective effects of cannabinoids, including THC, on patients with neurodegenerative disease. “Although other studies have offered evidence that cannabinoids might be neuroprotective against the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, we believe our study is the first to demonstrate that cannabinoids affect both inflammation and amyloid beta accumulation in nerve cells,” says one of the team, David Schubert from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in California. Schubert and his colleagues tested the effects of THC on human neurons grown in the lab that mimic the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. If you’re not familiar with this special little compound, it’s not only responsible for the majority of marijuana’s psychological effects — including the high — thanks to its natural pain-relieving properties, it’s also been touted as an effective treatment for the symptoms of everything from HIV and chemotherapy to chronic pain, post traumatic stress disorder, and stroke. In fact, THC appears to be such an amazing medical agent, researchers are working on breeding genetically modified yeast that can produce it way more efficiently than it would be to make synthetic versions. The compound works by passing from the lungs to the bloodstream, where it attaches to two types of receptors, cannabinoid receptor (CB) 1 and 2, which are found on cell surfaces all over the body. In the brain, these receptors are most concentrated in neurons associated with pleasure, memory, thinking, coordination and time perception, and usually bind with a class of lipid molecules called endocannabinoids that are produced by the body during physical activity to promote cell-to-cell signalling in the brain. But THC can also bind to them in much the same way, and when they do, they start messing with your brain’s ability to communicate with itself. They can be a good and a bad thing, because while you might forget something important or suddenly be incapable of swinging a baseball bat, you’ll probably feel amazing, and want to eat all the snacks: Over the years, research has suggested that by binding to these receptors, THC could be having another effect on ageing brains, because it appears to helps the body clear out the toxic accumulations — or ‘plaques’ — of amyloid beta. No one’s entirely sure what causes Alzheimer’s disease, but it’s thought to result from a build-up of two types of lesions: amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Amyloid plaques sit between the neurons as dense clusters of beta-amyloid molecules — a sticky type of protein that easily clumps together — and neurofibrillary tangles are caused by defective tau proteins that clump up into a thick, insoluble mass in the neurons. It’s not clear why these lesions begin to appear in the brain, but studies have linked inflammation in the brain tissue to the proliferation of plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. So if we can find something that eases brain inflammation while at the same time encourages the body to clear out these lesions, we could be on the way to finding the first effective treatment for Alzheimer’s ever. Back in 2006, researchers at the Scripps Research Institute found that THC inhibits the formation of amyloid plaques by blocking the enzyme in the brain that produces them, and now Schubert and his team have demonstrated that it can also eliminate a dangerous inflammatory response from the nerve cells, ensuring their survival. “Inflammation within the brain is a major component of the damage associated with Alzheimer’s disease, but it has always been assumed that this response was coming from immune-like cells in the brain, not the nerve cells themselves,” says one of the team, Antonio Currais. “When we were able to identify the molecular basis of the inflammatory response to amyloid beta, it became clear that THC-like compounds that the nerve cells make themselves may be involved in protecting the cells from dying.” It’s exciting stuff, but it’s so far only been demonstrated in neurons in the lab, so the next step will be for Schubert and his team to observe the link between THC and reduced inflammation and plaque build-up in a clinical trial. They’ve reportedly already found a drug candidate called J147 that appears to have the same effects as THC, so this might be the way they can test the effects of THC without the government getting in the way. Though it’s worth adding that more recent legal changes since the time of this research around marijuana use in the USA may be making further research in this area a lot easier. The results have been published in Aging and Mechanisms of Disease. Source: ScienceAlert.com

When his mother’s condition became so severe that for her own safety she had to be kept in the hospital, Mark Hatzer almost came to terms with losing another parent. Sylvia had lost her memory and parts of her mind, she had even phoned the police once accusing the nurse who were caring for her of kidnap. A change in diet, which was comprised of high amounts of blueberries and walnuts, has proven to have had a strong impact on Sylvia’s condition that her recipes are now being shared by the Alzheimer’s Society. Sylvia also began incorporating other health foods, including broccoli, kale, spinach, sunflower seeds, green tea, oats, sweet potatoes and even dark chocolate with a high percentage of cacao. All of these foods are known to be beneficial for brain health. Mark and Sylvia devised to diet together after deciding that the medication on its own was not enough, they looked into the research showing that rates of dementia are much lower in Mediterranean countries and copied a lot of their eating habits. According to Mirror.co.uk: Mark, whose brother Brent also died in 1977, said: “When my mum was in hospital she thought it was a hotel – but the worst one she had ever been in. “She didn’t recognise me and phoned the police as she thought she’d been kidnapped. “Since my dad and brother died we have always been a very close little family unit, just me and my mum, so for her to not know who I was was devastating. “We were a double act that went everywhere together. I despaired and never felt so alone as I had no other family to turn to. “Overnight we went from a happy family to one in crisis. “When she left hospital, instead of prescribed medication we thought we’d perhaps try alternative treatment. “In certain countries Alzheimer’s is virtually unheard of because of their diet. “Everyone knows about fish but there is also blueberries, strawberries, Brazil nuts and walnuts – these are apparently shaped like a brain to give us a sign that they are good for the brain.” There were also some cognitive exercises that Mark and his mother would do together like jigsaw puzzles crosswords and meeting people in social situations, Sylvia would also exercise by using a pedaling device outfitted for her chair. Mark said, “It wasn’t an overnight miracle, but after a couple of months she began remembering things like birthdays and was becoming her old self again, more alert, more engaged.. “People think that once you get a diagnosis your life is at an end. You will have good and bad days, but it doesn’t have to be the end. For an 82-year-old she does very well, she looks 10 years younger and if you met her you would not know she had gone through all of this. “She had to have help with all sorts of things, now she is turning it around. We are living to the older age in this country, but we are not necessarily living healthier.” The Body’s Ability to Heal is Greater Than Anyone Has Permitted You to Believe This story just goes to show how resilient our bodies really are if given the right environment. Most of these types of diseases are often related to diet in the first place so that means that they can indeed be reversed with a proper diet. Sure, some of them are genetic and you might be a carrier of the gene, but that is not a guarantee that it will become active, there are things you can do to minimize the risk. Our health is our greatest wealth. We have to realize that we do have a say in our lives and what our fate is. We have covered the topic before of how aluminum build up in the brain is directly related to dementia and more specifically Alzheimer’s disease, being able to identify this as a cause is important because recognizing this means we can do our part to limit the exposure and to also detoxify our brains and bodies from this damaging heavy metal. In an article titled, Strong evidence linking Aluminum to Alzheimer’s, recently published in The Hippocratic Post website, Exley explained that: “We already know that the aluminium content of brain tissue in late-onset or sporadic Alzheimer’s disease is significantly higher than is found in age-matched controls. So, individuals who develop Alzheimer’s disease in their late sixties and older also accumulate more aluminium in their brain tissue than individuals of the same age without the disease. “Even higher levels of aluminium have been found in the brains of individuals, diagnosed with an early-onset form of sporadic (usually late onset) Alzheimer’s disease, who have experienced an unusually high exposure to aluminium through the environment (e.g. Camelford) or through their workplace. This means that Alzheimer’s disease has a much earlier age of onset, for example, fifties or early sixties, in individuals who have been exposed to unusually high levels of aluminium in their everyday lives.” His most recent study, published by the Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology in December 2016, titled: Aluminium in brain tissue in familial Alzheimer’s disease, is one of the many studies that he and his team have conducted on the subject of aluminum over the years. However, this study in particular is believed to be of significant value, because it is the first time that scientists have measured the level of aluminum in the brain tissue of individuals diagnosed with familial Alzheimer’s disease. (Alzheimer’s disease or AD is considered to be familial if two or more people in a family suffer from the disease.) According to their paper, the concentrations of aluminum found in brain tissue donated by individuals who died with a diagnosis of familial AD, was the highest level ever measured in human brain tissue. Professor Exley wrote: “We now show that some of the highest levels of aluminium ever measured in human brain tissue are found in individuals who have died with a diagnosis of familial Alzheimer’s disease. The levels of aluminium in brain tissue from individuals with familial Alzheimer’s disease are similar to those recorded in individuals who died of an aluminium-induced encephalopathy while undergoing renal dialysis.” Read & share: Geoengineering Releases High Concentrations of TOXIC Aluminum into the Air, Causing an Increase in Neurodegenerative Diseases He explained that: “Familial Alzheimer’s disease is an early-onset form of the disease with first symptoms occurring as early as 30 or 40 years of age. It is extremely rare, perhaps 2-3% of all cases of Alzheimer’s disease. Its bases are genetic mutations associated with a protein called amyloid-beta, a protein which has been heavily linked with the cause of all forms of Alzheimer’s disease. Individuals with familial Alzheimer’s disease produce more amyloid beta and the onset of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease are much earlier in life.” The First Step Towards Change is by Raising Awareness As more and more awareness grows involving the true causes of these neurodegenerative brain disorders, the more we can do our part to prevent and even treat them and hopefully, eventually eliminate things such as aluminum and other chemicals in our foods to prevent this disease from happening altogether.

In a recent study, scientists found evidence that drinking tea could drastically lower your risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. If you’re not a tea drinker, it might be time to pick up the healthy habit! The Study The tea for Alzheimer’s study was conducted out of the National University of Singapore. During the study, researches followed more than 950 adults ages 55 or older. They also studied their tea drinking habits from 2003-2005. From 2006-2010, researchers followed up with the mean and women who participated in the study, to assess their cognitive function. The results showed that people who regularly drank tea reduced their risk of neurocognitive disorders by 50%! Perhaps even more impressively, the protective benefits of tea particularly effective for people who were genetically predisposed to Alzheimer’s. This group showed a reduced risk of cognitive impairment by as much as 86%. How Does Tea Affect The Brain? According to researchers, there isn’t one specific type of tea you should be drinking. As long as the tea is brewed from tea leaves and you drink it consistently, you are reducing your risk of developing Alzheimer’s. So how do tea leaves benefit the brain? Tea leaves contains catechins and theaflavins, which are loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that help protect the brain from aging. In a 2013 study, researchers found that the theanine and caffeine in tea helped tea drinkers perform better at work, by increasing creativity and alertness. When caffeine pairs up with L-theanine (a relaxation-promoting amino acid), the combination works to reduce mental fatigue while increasing alertness and memory. In a 2012 study, researchers found that EGCG, a chemical found in green tea, helps improve memory. This chemical has the ability to boost the production of neural progenitor cells, which the brain then uses for its own needs. How To Enjoy Your Tea To reap the brain-boosting benefits of tea, make sure you’re using real tea leaves. Tea bags might be a convenient way to enjoy your drink, but according to the tea for Alzheimer’s study, the tea leaves are responsible for all the health benefits. So whether you prefer black tea, green tea or another type of tea, check your local health food store to find loose leaf, organic teas. You can even harvest your own leaves! Here’s another tip: many of us like to sweeten things up, but be careful what you’re adding to your drink. Your tea can quickly become an unhealthy addition to your diet if you’re adding loads of sugar to it. If you like your tea a little sweeter, try adding a small of amount of local, raw organic honey (buy from Amazon). If you prefer your tea a little creamy, try adding some coconut milk for a dairy-free alternative to regular milk or sugary creamers. Enjoy!

She suggests that ketone bodies, which are formed when the body digests coconut oil, can serve as an alternative fuel for the brain. This oil is believed to offer essential benefits in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s. I She had her own history with this condition, as her husband, Steve, suffered from progressive dementia for 5 years in his mid-50s, and then had an MRI which confirmed the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. In her case study, she told his story: “Many days, often for several days in a row, he was in a fog; couldn’t find a spoon or remember how to get water out of the refrigerator… “One day I would ask if a certain call came that I was expecting and he would say ‘No.’ Two days later he would remember the message from so-and-so from a couple of days earlier and what they said.” She recounted that Steve had no short-term memory, but the information still existed somewhere in his brain, and she sensed that his diet was somehow related to the problem. Steve started taking medications to decelerate the development of the disease, but he became depressed, did not perform even the simplest tasks, lost weight, forgot how to cook and use a calculator. Yet, he remained in a good condition and spent all day working in the garage and his yard. Dr. Newport got interested in the findings of studies which stated that medium chain triglycerides or ketone bodies were able to treat and prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Experts also regarded medium chain triglycerides as a potential treatment for diabetes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, drug resistant epilepsy, and Huntington’s disease. She explained: “Ketone bodies may help the brain recover after a loss of oxygen in newborns through adults, may help the heart recover after an acute attack, and may shrink cancerous tumors. Children with drug-resistant epilepsy sometimes respond to an extremely low carbohydrate ketogenic diet.” If glucose is unavailable, the cells in the body can use ketone bodies as an alternative fuel. They do not normally circulate in the body, but only when it is starving for a couple of days, or if the person follows a very low-carb diet. Related: The Alzheimer’s-Reversing Oil That is Beating Prescription Drugs Dr. Newport adds: “In Alzheimer’s disease, the neurons in certain areas of the brain are unable to take in glucose due to insulin resistance, and slowly die off… if these cells had access to ketone bodies, they could potentially stay alive and continue to function.” Therefore, she started giving a dose coconut oil to her husband on a daily basis. He received 3 tablespoons of the oil twice daily, to ensure that here is a constant circulation of ketone bodies in the system. After a 2-month treatment, he became happier and alert, made jokes and became more communicative. Also, his tremor became less noticeable, and he was no longer distracted while working. After a year, Steve became a completely different person, he recognized their relatives and friends, was active in conversations, easily found words, was much more active and happier, and his facial expressions were more animated. His wife added: “For now, we are very pleased with where he is at and should coconut oil stop or slow down the progress of his disease, it will be worth every drop that he takes.” Dr. Mary Newport’s book “Alzheimer’s Disease: What If There Was a Cure?” is available on Amazon.
