Barbara Ann's mother had died of dementia, and now at age 67 she was losing her mind...
But then she met a courageous doctor with a revolutionary new treatment. Was it too late?
by Dr. Will Mitchell
Barbara Ann just wasn't the same...
On her way to work she’d forget her exit, get lost, and show up late.
She sometimes didn't recognize coworkers. Couldn't remember reports she'd read. And would forget things her boss told her to do.
At home, she mixed up the names of her pets, something her daughter. noticed with alarm.
And then one day she couldn’t remember where the light switches were in the house she had lived in for years.
Her doctor believed she had the same condition that killed her mother: Alzheimer's-Dementia.
Could it be stopped, even reversed? Or was her life over?
The answer may surprise you…
Barbara Ann met a remarkable doctor who was doing something revolutionary in the field.
This doctor knew that the established medical treatment -- drug therapy -- mainly targeted just one aspect of the problem... and it was no solution.
"It’s like having 30 holes in your roof," he said, "but you’re fixing just one. No matter how well you patch that one hole, you’ve got 29 more, so the problem just gets worse."[1]
Fortunately for Barbara Ann, this brave doctor didn't settle for the conventional medical wisdom.
He wondered what would happen if he patched as many holes as possible – that is, if he addressed all of the contributing factors to the disease, not just one.
To find out, he designed a study in which the participants – all of whom were suffering severe cognitive decline – did more than a dozen things to promote good brain health -- and all at once!
These things weren't difficult. But they did require a willingness to do them, and to stick with them.
Barbara Ann's family urged her to try.
She joined the study and started eating brain nourishing foods, including one with near miraculous restorative power that you'll discover in a moment.
She made sure to get regular exercise. She reduced stress. Got extra sleep...
She eliminated brain-harming prescription drugs, including a few that will surprise you because they're so widely prescribed.
She gave up harmful foods and controlled her blood sugar.
She spent more time with friends from church...
She did several more things the doctor asked... all of which you'll discover in a moment.
AND WHAT HAPPENED?
In three months time, Barbara Ann was no longer confused. She could follow instructions. She could memorize and retain new information. Write reports, conduct meetings, and meet deadlines.
On a personal note, she never again forgot which of her poodles was Jezzie and which was Lucy.
And, today, two and a half years later at age 70, Barbara Ann still holds down her full-time job.
Her "progressive cognitive decline" stopped and reversed. Her memory and mental function improved. And Barbara Ann's life was saved!
Was it a miracle?
Hi, I’m Dr. Will Mitchell (LAc, DOM, MS Nutrition). Barbara Ann’s story may seem like a miracle, but it’s really the inevitable result of giving your brain exactly what it needs, including...
...Eating certain kinds of fats and proteins... doing the right kinds of physical and mental exercises.. and adding social and spiritual components to your life.
And then also stopping the things that are hurting your brain, including many harmful foods and certain brain-damaging prescription drugs.
I'll show you 12 specific things to do in just a moment.
The good news is that, once you give your brain what it needs, and also stop hurting it, you'll see dramatic results in a matter of weeks.
In the landmark study... not only Barbara Ann, but 90% of the subjects saw significant and sustainable cognitive improvement.
These extraordinary results stunned the medical establishment and, frankly, shamed the pharmaceutical industry.
Shamed? Yes. Because the doctor who designed the study used no drugs.
He didn't want them. He knew that drug therapy had failed dementia patients, so why even go there? He was looking for a real solution...
And he found it!
What's so exciting is that this study proved we can actually stop and reverse cognitive decline. Build a stronger brain that resists disease. And do so at any age.
That's what you're going to discover today. And, frankly, it couldn't be more important...
Statistics show 1 in 3 seniors die of Alzheimer’s or other dementia.[2]
And according to research published in the journal Lancet Neurology, the unhealthy brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s can begin 10 to 20 years before the symptoms of dementia show up.[3]
Why let that happen? Why lose your precious memories? Why risk losing your freedom?
We have the tools and methods to keep your brain healthy and sharp for all the years of your life. And I want you to have them today.
But why listen to me? Two reasons...
First, I’ve adapted the methods from this study for use at my clinical practice in Austin, Texas. And I’ve added a few of my own, based on my training and experience in Nutritional, Oriental and Functional Medicine.
Second, and most important, I’ve achieved excellent results for my patients, many of whom were experiencing serious cognitive problems.
In fact, I wrote a book on this subject that has gone on to help thousands. It’s called, "The Unbreakable Brain: How to Shield Your Brain from Cognitive Decline for Life.,"
I’m pleased to say this book has become one of the most helpful in the field... precisely because it is so easy to use.
So, today, I'm going to share -- in detail -- 12 brain-saving actions
from my book that will help you...
• improve your mental function
• preserve your memories
• protect your brain from decline and disease.
And if you'd like to learn even more brain-saving actions -- along with the full 28-day brain-renewal program I've developed for my patients -- you can get my book, The Unbreakable Brain, at half price today.
But that's optional. And these 12 valuable brain-saving actions are yours FREE, with no obligation.
Let's get started...
I think it's important to begin here, so you'll understand that you have nothing to fear... that, in fact, you can prevent, stop, and even reverse this disease.
Alzheimer’s starts as an inflammatory immune response that creates plaques around damaged neural cells.
Basically, it's a repair action that has gone awry... typically under conditions of prolonged stresses.
These stresses can be from brain-harming foods, from many popular prescription drugs, and from simply not giving your brain the good fats and proteins it needs to thrive.
This last problem is very common. I can't tell you how many of my patients have brains that are starving for brain-healthy FAT!
We can easily correct that, as you'll see in a moment. But first...
For younger people, clearing these brain plaques is easy... it's part of a routine healing process.
But as we age this becomes much harder to do. And yet, if these plaques aren't cleared, they will grow larger and start to tangle the neural fibers.
What's more, chronic body inflammation -- also very common in our advanced years -- will make these plaques worse. And that's why I'm going to show you how to fix that today, too.
But first, let me show you what happens if your neural pathways get gummed up with plaques and tangled fibers.
Neurons are brain cells that send signals to other cells -- things like move your hand... remember that date... feel hot and cold.
The information travels from one cell to another across a neural connection called a synapse. And communication across the synapses is made possible by brain chemicals called neurotransmitters.
Now, don't worry, I'm not going to give you a biology lesson. And, in fact, to make this easy...
Think of the synapse as a bridge, and the neurotransmitters as cars crossing that bridge. Inside the cars are messages that one neuron sends to another.
Working together, your neurons, synapses, and neurotransmitters make it possible for you to think, to learn, and to remember...
...And also to experience emotions, move muscles, and carry on thousands of automatic body functions every minute of the day.
Okay... now imagine if this system is gummed up with plaques. The communication would slow, wouldn't it?
And in some cases it would fail.
Can you prevent this? Yes! Just build more neurons and neural connections. And I'll show you how to do that in a moment, too.
You see, with more neural cells and connections, your brain has more pathways to conduct its communication.
It's like having more roads. If a few roads are washed out... no big deal, the neural information just takes a detour.
But if the plaques and tangles get the upper hand, they will begin destroying the synapses and eventually the nerve cells themselves.
That's the beginning of a serious problem. Because when synapses die, lines of communication are shut down.
Suddenly, you have trouble remembering. Things that were once familiar become harder to recognize. You might start mixing up names and places.
And then, as the condition progresses, the neural cells start dying, too...
That's when memories are lost. You can’t learn new things. Confusion sets in. And behavior becomes erratic.
Perhaps you've already experienced some of this... but remember, as Barbara Ann and many others in the study proved, you can reverse this disease process -- and at any age!
I've seen it in my own practice. You just need to do two things...
1. Build more neurons and synapses.
And...
2. Stop damaging the neurons and synapses you currently have.
The best way to accomplish this is to start with the 12 brain-saving actions I'm giving you FREE today. And here they are...
Yes, I know, this is a surprise. But take heed...
Statin drugs lower your body's ability to make cholesterol... but are notorious for causing memory loss and impaired brain function.
That's because fully 25% of the cholesterol in your body is used by your brain, where it protects nerve cells and speeds the signals between neurons that control thought, movement, and sensation.[4]
Do you think protecting neural cells and speeding the signals between them is important? It sure is... if you like walking, talking, thinking and remembering.
A University of California at San Diego study surveyed patients between the ages of 34 and 86, to see if memory and cognitive function problems showed up after taking statin drugs.[5]
The results were shocking -- fully 75% of participants showed negative changes.
But when they stopped the statin therapy, their cognitive function improved in about two and half weeks. Some patients even had their Alzheimer's diagnosis reversed!
I'm going to spend another moment here... before moving on to brain-saving action #2... because it's really important that you know.
Some of the harmful drug names are Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor, Mevator, and Pravachol.
Doctors may insist you take them, but keep in mind that cholesterol has never been proven to be the cause of heart disease.
In a huge study of 136,905 heart attack patients at 541 hospitals across the nation, 75% were found to have normal LDL cholesterol levels and were not considered at risk for heart disease.[6]
In fact, research continues to show that most major heart attacks occur in people with normal levels of cholesterol.[7]
So, the link between heart disease and cholesterol is weak at best, and our education -- or brainwashing -- on this subject has more to do with drug company profits than sound science.
I'll tell you what happened...
The drug companies figured out how to lower cholesterol, and then they just needed to make cholesterol a bogeyman to sell these drugs by the boatload. And the U.S. government was happy to oblige on that.
But think about it -- your body is a miracle of harmonious biochemistry.
And your body makes cholesterol. So, why would it make something that poisons you?
It wouldn't. And it doesn't. There is no such thing as "bad cholesterol." That's drug company marketing.
The truth is cholesterol is essential to the health of your cell membranes... to your digestion... to making Vitamin D and many hormones. And it's especially important to the health of your brain cells.
So important, in fact, that you'd die rather quickly without it.
Several studies show that low cholesterol is associated with a higher rate of mortality[8] in the elderly.
In a study of 4,309 Medicare patients, those with total cholesterol levels under 175 were found to die at twice the rate of those with levels over 226.[9]
Still, you may find it hard to believe that cholesterol is not somehow involved in heart disease. Well, it is, but only indirectly.
You see, the consumption of bad fats and sugars will change the quality of your LDL particles, making them smaller and denser. And that's when they can embed in the linings of your arteries, triggering the plaque-making process.
But cholesterol is not the problem -- bad fats and sugars are. And statin drugs have no bearing on that.
So, consider that the statin pills you're taking may be what's giving you brain fog and memory loss, not to mention loss of libido, fatigue, muscle pain, and a higher risk of dying prematurely.
Talk to your doctor about getting off the statin drugs, and in their place using a heart-healthy diet – along with regular exercise – to keep your cholesterol particles healthy.
Just ahead, I'll tell you which foods have the brain-and heart-harming fats and sugars. And you can also learn a lot about this subject in my book, The Unbreakable Brain.
But first, let's look at...
Do you like fatty foods? Cheeses? Peanut or Almond butters? Juicy steaks?
Great! You'll be glad to know that FAT is essential to your brain health. And most people don't get enough fat, or at least not enough of the right kind of fat.
Here's why...
For decades we've been told that animal fat is bad, and that a low-fat diet is best for our health.
The theory was that eating animal fat, and its cholesterol, would lead to
heart disease. But the original research on this was
Even so, our government bought it hook, line, and sinker.
And, after a 1977 government commission released its dietary guidelines based on this flawed research, food manufacturers changed their recipes and drug companies launched their cholesterol-lowering drugs.
And down the rabbit hole we went!
It was a major blunder that ended up costing millions of lives, while creating untold suffering, even as it enriched the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
You see, under government pressure, food manufacturers replaced animal fats with processed vegetable fats. And then, to make up for the lost flavor, they added processed salts and sugars.
Today, we know that these processed vegetable fats, salts, and sugars -- which are in thousands of grocery store foods -- are a near perfect disease-making combination.
And that's largely why, over the past 40 years, we've seen an explosion of cases of arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and Alzheimer's-Dementia.
While food labels boast "low fat," they should really say-- helps to inflame your joints, clog your arteries, spike your blood sugar, and make the brain plaques associated with Alzheimer's-Dementia.
Okay, but we need a solution. So, which ones are the bad fats, and which ones are the good fats
Brain-harming fats are those you typically get in fast food restaurants and in all those packaged and canned foods in stores. If you see the words "partially hydrogenated" on any food label, don't buy it!
Your brain does need healthy fat. And I always tell my patients, eat good fat with every meal. It's satisfying and reduces your craving for sweets.
Healthy sources of fat include avocados, almonds, walnuts and sunflower seeds. Also coconut oil, olive oil, and fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and sardines.
Eggs contain good fats. Real butter is healthier than margarine. Cheeses and juicy steaks are fine in moderation, too. Just choose varieties free of antibiotics and hormones.
Now, before moving on, I want to remind you that all 12 brain-saving actions I'm covering today are fully detailed in my book, The Unbreakable Brain, along with dozens more.
You don't have to take notes. And you don't have to worry that you'll miss something important. Everything you need is in my book.
Coming up, I'm going to show you...
But first, let's look at...
With a deficiency of Vitamin B-12, you can experience slow thinking, mental confusion, memory loss, irritability, as well as loss of balance and numbness and tingling.
Recognize any of this? Sure, it's a common problem over age 50 because of poor Vitamin B-12 absorption.
Vitamin B-12 absorption is also blocked by the proton pump inhibitors used to treat heartburn and acid reflux, as well as the diabetes medication Metformin[10] -- two very popular drugs.
But you'd be wise to adjust your diet, rather than take these brain killing drugs.
According to the University of Oxford, England, Vitamin B-12 guards against loss of brain volume in the elderly.[11] And brain volume loss is exactly what Alzheimer's is.
Get a blood test, and if you're low on this important vitamin talk to your doctor about a course of Vitamin B-12 shots, or take supplements. And by the way, extra B-12 won't hurt you, so be safe not sorry.
See my book, The Unbreakable Brain, for full details on more than a dozen memory-boosting vitamins and minerals. And don't forget my book is available to you at a deep discount today -- just half price.Now, here's....
Do you have favorite chips or cookies that come in a bag? Do you like the convenience of canned soups and sauces? Maybe frozen dinners?
It's okay... you can admit it... we've all eaten these foods. The problem is these foods are fake, rather than natural, and are loaded with bad fats, sugars, and chemicals.
Some of these ingredients boost flavor. Some extend shelf life. Some make the food cheaper to manufacture. But they all hurt your brain.
According to the web site Alzheimer's.net... "processed foods and sugar stimulates the production of toxins in the body. And those toxins can lead to inflammation, the build-up of plaques in the brain and, as a result, impaired cognitive function."[12]
So, how can you identify and avoid these fake foods?
That's easy. They come in boxes, bags, cans and cartons and are always in the middle aisles of your supermarket. You'll recognized them by their long ingredients labels.
Be suspicious of everything that isn't in the fresh produce, dairy, or meat sections. The brain healthy foods are always situated around the perimeter of your market
And read the labels carefully. If a carton of tomatoes has one ingredient -- tomatoes -- that's perfect.
If, on the other hand, you see a long list of ingredients, including names you don't understand -- autolyzed yeast protein, aspartame, soy isolate, carrageenan -- these are brain-harming foods you'd be wise to avoid.
The simple rule is to replace all processed and fast foods with fresh meats, fruits and vegetables... plus nuts, beans and whole grains.
Some dairy products are okay, but avoid the ones high in sugar, and also from cows treated with antibiotics and hormones.
And eat organic whenever possible to avoid the residue of brain-harming pesticides.
Now, coming up, I have some very interesting information for you, including how...
But first, I want you to know an interesting fact about Albert Einstein that sheds light on how to prevent dementia.
After Albert Einstein died, researchers studied his brain. They discovered it was both smaller and weighed less than average.
But there was something different about it. Researchers observed an immense number of neural cells and connections -- far more than average.
Einstein lived to ripe age and died of a stomach problem brought on by too much pipe smoking.
But his thinking abilities remained effective his entire life. Why? Because his neural connections were so vast and dense his brain was essentially unbreakable.
Now, don't worry... you don't have to be a genius to ward off Alzheimer's. But you would be smart to build more neural cells.
That's called neurogenesis. And today, I'm showing you how to do it.
It's also smart to build more synapses, the connections (or bridges) between neural cells that promote speedy communication. I'm showing you how to do that today, too.
It's a lot like building more roads in your brain. That way, if some get washed out, no problem, others will do the job.
In fact, at autopsy, many elderly people are found to have the plaques and tangles associated with Alzheimer's, and yet they presented no symptoms of dementia while alive.
How did they dodge the Alzheimer's bullet?
Because they had a dense brain, thick with neural connections. Basically, Alzheimer's could never do enough damage to cause a problem.
That's what I call "The Unbreakable Brain." And you can get one, too! Simply start by doing the brain-saving actions you're learning today.
And remember, all 12 brain-saving actions here -- plus dozens more -- are in my book. If you don't like some of them, no problem, you can choose others that you do like.
Here's one that's especially effective...
Do you remember earlier I told you that Barbara Ann started eating a miraculous brain-saving food?
I know of another person who was saved by this same brain food. Let me share the story...
Dr. Barnes had noticed her husband Dennis was acting strangely.
He was just 53 and had long worked as an accountant, but was suddenly struggling with basic calculations.
Even routine math was confusing him.
"He was a tech wizard, and at one time could practically take apart a computer," said Dr. Barnes. "But after a while, he couldn't even turn one on."
Dennis went downhill fast. He retreated into a shell. Soon, he couldn't walk right... and then he couldn't read.
Doctors diagnosed Dennis with "Early-Onset Alzheimer's." Drugs designed to treat his condition didn’t help but gave him terrible side-effects.
Still, Dr. Barnes was determined to do something that would save her husband.
She learned of a promising study.. a pharmaceutical company was applying for a drug patent to treat the disease.
The main ingredient in the new drug was medium chain triglycerides, also known as MCTs.
Dr Barnes knew that MCTs are found in nature. In fact, in large quantities in the ancient tropical food, coconuts.
She drove to the nearest health food store and purchased organic coconut oil. She figured she didn't need the drug, just the MCTs.
The next morning she secretly stirred a couple of tablespoons of coconut oil[13] into her husband’s oatmeal. That evening, she added more to his dinner.
She continued to do this, day after day. And what happened?
In just 30 days, Dennis was a changed man!
His personality returned. He walked normally. He could read. Math was easy again. He was back on his computer.
Dr. Barnes got her husband back!
Again, this may seem like a miracle. But, more likely, Dennis's brain was crying out for a food it desperately needed -- healthy fat!
The medium chain triglycerides in the coconut oil provided it. And it is indeed a food your brain needs.
Some of my patients stir coconut oil into a hot beverage, or add it to soup, or stir fry vegetables in it.
Other sources of MCTs are palm kernel oil and dairy products. But coconut oil has the strongest concentration.
See my book, The Unbreakable Brain, and I'll tell your about the best types, including one that has the coconut flavor removed, in case you'd prefer that.
Okay, I think you can see that these brain-saving actions are really pretty easy to do. Nothing very hard here.
And again, it's so important to take these steps now. Protecting your ability to think, learn, and reason is really about protecting your freedom and independence. You never ever want to lose that.
Okay, next, I'm going to show you...
But first, I want to show you some brain-saving actions that are actually fun to do...
What's cognitive reserve? Like water, food, or monetary reserves, it's extra stores to use later. But in this case, you're storing up brain power that will protect you against Alzheimer's-Dementia.
In 2012, a study of over 12,000 subjects found that "people who scored higher on cognitive reserves routinely showed a much lower risk of future cognitive impairment."[14]
Again, this is why many older people get through their entire lives without showing any symptoms of dementia, even with plaques and tangles in their brains.
Their cognitive reserves saved them. So, how do you build cognitive reserve?
Your reserve is accumulated over a lifetime of education, occupation, and meaningful cognitive leisure activities. But you can always add more.
One way is to learn something new and challenging.
For example, you can go back to school. Take up a musical instrument. Learn a new language. Take dance lessons.
Or how about starting a hobby that requires learning something new. For examples, you can learn how to...
When you choose something you'll enjoy, it'll become a meaningful leisure activity -- and that builds cognitive reserve.
Even doing difficult crosswords, or number puzzles like Sudoku, will help. These games are associated with spatial working memory, grammatical reasoning, and episodic memory.
So, if you've been forgetful lately. If you're finding it harder to focus. If you're sometimes feeling confused...
Don't worry. All of the ideas I'm giving you today will help you build new brain cells and neural connections, boosting your mental function, even while protecting you from decline and disease.
And, in my book, The Unbreakable Brain, you'll find dozens more ideas on building cognitive reserve, including some fun brain games you can do online with your computer.
Watch for the special offer coming up from my publisher, Primal Health, LP, to get my book at half price today. It's actually less than you'd pay for one dinner at a nice restaurant.
Let's look at...
Once upon a time, we thought the adult brain was fixed. The old joke in college was "those drunken party nights destroyed millions of brain cells you'd never get back."
Fortunately, that's not true.
The brain has a wonderful quality called plasticity, meaning it can adapt. It's also capable of neurogenesis -- or renewal -- especially in the hippocampus and cerebral ventricles.[15]
These are the areas of your brain where learning, memories and conscious thought take place.
What stimulates new growth? We already talked about one thing -- learning something new, especially if that new endeavor is challenging.
Another one is exercise. Regular physical activity signals brain cells to start acting like stem cells, capable of new growth.
In their study of brain health, the noted neurology professor Dr. Carl Cotman and his peers found that exercise ..."has the net effect of stimulating plasticity, enhancing cognitive function...[and] stimulating neurogenesis."[16]
In plain words -- it builds more brain cells and the neural connections between them.
So, get out and walk every day. Swim. Play tennis. Ride a bike. Use the gym.
Hundreds of studies have shown that aerobic exercises improve many aspects of cognitive function -- memory, decision-making, problem solving, and attention.
Weight training is valuable, too. Research has shown that resistance exercises, even if performed just once or twice a week[17], will improve your cognitive function.
And the great thing about that is you can use small weights at home -- such as 2, 3, and 5 pounders. No gym needed!
For more details, see my book, The Unbreakable Brain, which my publisher, Primal Health, LP is kindly making available at half price in a special offer today.
This special offer also includes a FREE copy of my report, "How to Stop Nine Memory Thieves from Robbing You of Your Recall". In this valuable report, you'll discover...
I'll tell you more about this report in a moment, but first, let's move on to...
What's dual-task training? It's simply combining a physical activity with a mental activity. This builds new brain cells, and it can be fun!
For example, if you take up ballroom dancing, you'll not only physically move across the dance floor, but you'll have to think about steps, form, and timing -- all with a partner!
The same is true of square dancing, line dancing and New England contra dancing. And the music itself is a powerful brain stimulator, too.
A study published in Psychology Today noted that listening to happy music improved cognitive processing in the elderly.[18]
And if you combine listening to your favorite music with household chores or exercises, you'll not only enjoy them more, but you'll strengthen your brain in the process. Even more so if you sing along!
You can also turn exercising into a dual task endeavor...
Try counting backwards from 40 in 3s, while balancing on one leg.
Try rotating each arm in different directions simultaneously for ten seconds, then reverse and go the other way for ten seconds.
Try walking forward in a straight line, and then backwards in a straight line, while reciting the alphabet.
All of these efforts contribute to the growth of new brain cells and neural pathways. And, remember, the more you have, the closer you'll come to The Unbreakable Brain that Alzheimer's can't hurt.
Now, don't worry if you haven't been taking notes because you can get full details on all 12 brain-saving actions -- and dozens more -- in my book The Unbreakable Brain.
Let me take just a moment to tell you why I wrote this book, and then we'll return to the brain-saving actions you can start using today.
Because of my background in Nutritional, Oriental, and Functional Medicine, I often see patients who've been to doctor after doctor... only to have conventional medicine fail them.
Many of these folks have experienced mental challenges. And they're still looking for a solution... because they didn't find one in drugs.
If you stop to think about it... conventional Western Medicine is actually quite narrow, as it relies almost entirely on drug therapy.
Think about your own visits to the doctor. What happened? You got a drug prescription.
That works out really well if your problem is an infection that an antibiotic will cure.
But most drugs don't cure anything. They just treat the symptoms of health problems, while the actual problems go unresolved, and even get worse!
That's why so many elderly people end up on 7, 10, even 12 drugs that they take for the rest of their lives.
That's good for drug company sales, but is it good for you?
I don't believe it is.
I believe in finding the underlying cause of the problem, and then fixing it. And today, we can! Because we have really good natural solutions for most ailments.
And if you think about it logically. Did you develop a health problem because of a lack of drugs? No. That's not what your body is missing.
More likely, your problem developed because you're missing the specific nutrients and exercises you need for good health, or you're doing something that is harming your health.
That's almost always the case with memory problems and mental decline.
So, after I discovered Barbara Ann's study -- and then saw how effective the research doctor's principles were with my patients -- I decided to write a book that would include all of these ideas in one place.
I found a ready partner in Primal Health, LP, America's leading health and wellness publisher, who encouraged me to create an easy-to-use guidebook that anyone could use to...
In short, a guide to building the "The Unbreakable Brain." One that can reliably get you through your entire life without dementia making a dent.
Remember earlier what I said about Einstein? He had an The Unbreakable Brain -- a brain so dense with neurons and synapses that Alzheimer's couldn't harm it.
That's what I want you to have.
And, today, I'm showing you how to get it with 12 brain-saving actions you can start using right away.
But I also want you to have everything you need...
So, if you'd like to get even more solutions, including my 28-day brain renewal program, I urge you to take advantage of Primal Health's special offer to get my book, The Unbreakable Brain at half price today.

And just ahead, I'll tell more about these valuable FREE reports. But first, let's do the remaining brain-saving actions that you can start using right now.
Here's one that will make you feel better...
Beta blockers are drugs prescribed for a number of health problems, but especially for high blood pressure.
But this type of drug causes memory problems by preventing some of your neurotransmitters from working properly.[19]
You'll recall that neurotransmitters are brain chemicals that transport messages from one neural cell to another, across a bridge called the synapse. They're hugely important!
Hinder your neurotransmitters, and you're going to have a harder time thinking, concentrating, and remembering.
That's called "brain fog."
In fact, if you've been taking a beta-blocker for any length of time, you've probably already noticed it's hard to carry on a conversation without drawing a blank on a name or detail.
You may feel fatigued, too, another unpleasant side effect that hampers your thinking.
Some beta blocker drug names are Lopressor, Toprol, Coreq, Tenorman, Betapace and Inderal.
So, if you want improved memory and thinking skills, talk to your doctor about alternatives. Especially since hypertension can usually be resolved with diet and exercise.
You can even take my book and show it to your doctor, as this reader did...
You can also get "The Blood Pressure Solution," a book written by my colleague, Dr. Marlene Merritt.
She has great strategies to get your blood pressure into the normal range without using brain-harming drugs. Later on, I'll give you a link to her book, so you can learn more about it.
But for now, let's move on to...
Do you like mixing with others? If so, you're doing a brain-healthy activity.
Humans are born to the longest period of dependence of any species on earth and require interaction with others[20] for both physical and cognitive health.
In fact, socialization is so important that physical isolation and loneliness can be risk factors for several diseases[21], including Alzheimer's-Dementia.
Here's the problem -- as we get older, we too easily fall into a pattern of staying at home, watching TV, and just not getting out in the world to engage with others.
You might say, "Oh, I'm too tired for that" or "I don't know any people I like." Those may seem like reasonable excuses. But it's a surefire recipe for trouble.
To prevent brain decline and disease, step out and talk to your neighbors. Get together with friends for lunch or dinner...
Participate in community fundraising events. Go to church or temple. Volunteer at your local hospital. Join a book or movie club.
And here's a smart idea: combine socialization with physical exercise, which you'll do if you join a hiking, dancing, cycling, or exercise group.
Even playing bridge or mahjong is healthier for your brain than sitting at home watching cable news all day, which is stressful and can make you prone to neural damage.
Numerous studies show that social interaction has a protective effect against the onset of dementia. So, make sure to include it in your life.
I have much more on this subject in my book, The Unbreakable Brain, which is yours at half price today. And, remember, this special offer includes 4 FREE bonus reports:
56 Super Foods That Boost Your Brain Power20 Delicious Brain Boosting RecipesHow To Stop Memory Thieves from Robbing Your RecallBlood Sugar Management Cheat SheetBut before I tell you about these valuable bonus reports, let's do...
Let me ask you... Is your brain getting the specific nutrition it needs to prevent decline?
Unfortunately, for most people, the answer is "no."
Soil depletion, hybrid breeding, and genetic modification have taken a huge toll, producing foods that look good but that have severely diminished nutrients.
And there's another problem -- as we age, our GI tract performs with less and less proficiency. So, we don't even absorb the few nutrients left in these modern foods.
Truly... our brains are suffering for it. But there's an easy solution -- supplement!
In my book, The Unbreakable Brain I devote an entire chapter to key vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants that support brain health.
Some of these are very powerful in reversing memory loss. Others are excellent for preventing neural damage. But, honestly, in this short presentation, I can't cover them in the detail they deserve. So, please see my book.
But I will give you two right now that are very important.
The first is CoQ10, an antioxidant your body makes that's essential for all the basic functions of your cells, including brain cells. But as you age, you make less and less of it, and the result is what we call "getting old."
Your levels of CoQ10 are further diminished if you have diabetes or heart disease. And CoQ10 drops significantly[22] if you use statin or blood pressure drugs.
"I am delighted with my results and I would highly recommend this book to anyone struggling with memory problems as they age."
CoQ10 is widely used for heart health, eye health, asthma, and chronic fatigue. But one of the most cutting-edge uses is to combat the onset of dementia.
In studies, CoQ10 has been shown to slow the death of neural cells -- and you'll recall earlier we talked about the importance of protecting these cells.
The second one is Omega 3 Fish Oil, an essential fatty acid that your brain needs but your body doesn't make.
That means you have to eat foods that supply it, such as walnuts, flax seeds, and fatty fish like salmon, albacore tuna, and sardines. Or you can supplement with a quality cod liver oil.
How do the Omega 3 fats help your brain?
They're absolutely vital to cellular health. Without them your cell membranes would leak and malfunction. And that's an open invitation to damage and disease.
Omega 3 fats also tame inflammation, the driver behind all degenerative diseases, including the plaques and tangles of Alzheimer's.
In a 2015 study of 500 people, those taking fish oil showed fewer signs of cognitive impairment.[23] And in a huge study of nearly 22,000 Norwegians, fish oil was found to reduce the incidence of depression by 30%.
And speaking of depression, listen to what one reader said after reading The Unbreakable Brain...
By the way, I have several more important supplements to recommend for your brain health, so please see Chapter 6 in my book, The Unbreakable Brain.
And now, let's finish up with...
This one is essential. That's why I saved it for last.
If you want to prevent memory loss and brain disease, you can't get off sugar fast enough. Yes, sugar is THAT bad.
It may be hard to imagine, but America didn't always have sugar-driven diseases.
In 1822, the average American consumed 4 to 5 pounds of sugar a year. There were many ways to die back then -- Indian attack, hard labor on a farm, tuberculosis -- but nobody died of eating too much sugar.[24]
Today, the average American eats over 100 pounds of sugar a year, and people are dying of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's in droves.
There's no doubt that Alzheimer's and dementia are driven, in large part, by sugar intake.
You may already know that eating too many refined carbohydrate foods -- which convert to sugar in your body -- leads to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome...
And that, of course, leads to Type II Diabetes... which the Mayo Clinic says increases your risk for Alzheimer's.[25]
But what you probably don't know is that a healthy insulin response is vitally important to neural cell signaling. And, here again, we're talking about the messages one brain cell sends to another.
You can't mess with this process without creating thinking, memory, and emotional problems.
So, the big increase in insulin resistance that the low-fat, high-sugar diet craze brought on... ALSO led to a big increase in the incidence of dementia.
That's why some researchers are starting to call Alzheimer's "Type 3 diabetes."[26]
But do you know why sugar is such a big problem?
Aside from messing up your insulin response and brain cell signaling, sugar causes chronic body inflammation.
Listen to what a brain researcher has to say about inflammation...
"Interactions between damaged neurons and over activated microglia create a vicious self-propagating cycle of uncontrolled, prolonged inflammation that drives the chronic progression of neurodegenerative diseases."
Sounds scary. But in plain words -- chronic inflammation is just bad for your brain. So, whatever you do... don't help it with sugar.
Quitting sugar doesn't just mean giving up cookies, cakes and candies. Carbohydrate foods such as bread, pasta, potatoes, and chips convert to sugar inside your body, so you need to restrict these foods.
Remember, too, that sugar is added to processed foods. Everything from salad dressings to pasta sauces, to ketchup and guacamole dip.
It takes a little detective work to uncover the hidden sugars in today's foods, but in my book, The Unbreakable Brain I'll show you which foods to limit... and which ones to avoid altogether.
And here's good news: Once you start cutting back on the sugary and refined carbohydrate foods, you'll immediately start feeling better.
You'll have more energy. You'll lose weight. Those nagging aches and pains will ease up. You'll like what you see in the mirror. And all of these things will motivate you to do more.
Your reward is you'll be saving your memories, enhancing your thinking skills, and ultimately protecting your freedom and independence!
I don't have to tell you... one of the worst outcomes for those who get progressive dementia is that they can't take care of themselves, and then, sadly, end up in care homes.
I don't ever want that to happen to you. And it won't if you take action now.
And that's why I urge you to get full details on all 12 of my brain-saving actions -- and dozens more -- in my book, The Unbreakable Brain.
A few of the brain saving actions are essential, and for convenience, I've marked those for you. But, otherwise, you can pick and choose the ones you like best.
