done a lot of videos and Alzheimer’s

I’ve talked about

amyloid plaquing I’ve talked about some

falsified research relating to amylene

placking I talked about the genetic

factor of getting Alzheimer’s or putting

that risk by 30 to 50 percent if you

have a very specific it’s called an APO

E4 if you have that mutation you’re 30

to 50 percent more at risk right and

I’ve done all these videos as I find

more information but I stumbled on

something that is groundbreaking it’s

actually quite amazing and you have to

hear about it the more you understand

the true mechanism of a problem the more

a solution will pop out if you were to

take a match and you’re in the woods and

you would light the match

and start the woods and fire would it

help to focus all your energy on putting

out that match

the answer is no you know as a child I

love to play with matches unfortunately

it got me into trouble I remember one

time when I was a really small probably

actually this was last year no I was

eight years old and a friend and I were

um

uh playing with matches and I found some

matches and we went in the back of the

field and

I wanted to see what would happen if I

let a match into this empty bird nest

that was just sitting there there’s no

birds in it I just want to see what

would happen

so I light it and fire and my friend

says put her down I said no Let It Go a

little bit longer well within a matter

of seconds it just starts spreading like

crazy we bolted to uh the back of the

neighborhood to someone’s house to get

water and then we turn around and the

entire field is on fire okay and so I

had to run home and tell my father that

I lit the field on fire and as he looked

across you can see the neighborhood with

these Flames behind the entire

neighborhood that’s spreading to the

next neighborhood and you can imagine

how much trouble I got into and how I

felt but

just my luck it started raining I just I

seem to luck out it started raining and

it put the fire out but that was a scare

I don’t know why I told you the story

but it does relate to the match Forest

concept well that’s what research has

been doing the last 20 years focusing on

the match okay with very very little

results if any in fact sometimes the

treatment for Alzheimer’s is worse it

can actually progress the condition and

so most of the research has been

focusing on this theory that this

amyloid plaquing is this metabolic junk

that shouldn’t be there it has no

purpose we should just Target and get

rid of it

well it is true that there’s MLA

placking involved in Alzheimer’s right

but amyloid plaquing would be equivalent

to that match that starts to fire trying

to wipe out the amyloid plaquing uh is

going to be a waste of your time the

gene that makes this amyloid plaquing

which is kind of this fibrous tissue in

the brain that ends up destroying the

neurons in the brain has been around for

a very very long time like 400 million

years because this Gene is also another

species so why has it been unchanged in

the genetics for this long unless there

was a very important purpose of this

plaquing well incidentally two

researchers which I’m going to put down

below stumbled on something that is just

quite amazing they found out that this

beta blocking is a very potent

anti-microbial peptide a hundred times

more potent than penicillin well let me

first give you some background there’s

two parts of the immune system you have

the innate immune system that you’re

born with it’s the ancient first line of

defense immune system okay part of your

army

and then you acquire this other immune

system it’s called the acquired immune

system and that’s when you have all the

antibodies and T cells and the B cells

and all these other things and that

usually is delayed it takes time for

your body to develop that okay but in

the brain

there is only the innate immune system

we don’t have this other immune system

in the brain because it might maybe

because it’s just too powerful it can

create a lot of collateral damage and

the brain is very sensitive so this is

what they found they found that this

amyloid plaquing is really an innate

immune system reaction to a microbe that

seeds or triggers this reaction and so

there’s always this kind of this Cascade

between amyloid plaquing and this other

thing called neurofibrillary Tangles

okay so that’s a mouthful that basically

if you look at that like fishing line

the plaquing and these Tangles work

together to entrap and contain pathogens

and so when they grab these microbes

right let’s say virus they start to

release certain chemicals and one is

bleach yeah bleach and so that just

kills the microbe and then because we

have this reaction okay

we get inflammation in the nerves it’s

called neural inflammation and so now we

have all this collateral damage that’s

occurring okay and then we basically

it’s it’s all reacting to dead nerve

cells okay so we have this whole Cascade

thing that’s happening Alzheimer’s is an

innate immune reaction

to an infection

now usually that infection is not

necessarily a full-blown infection it’s

usually a subclinical infection that

tends to brew in the oven this is why

plaquing usually develops over 20 years

and by the time you have the first

symptom you’re at the peak of plaquing

okay and then it kind of goes down from

there and so the question is like what

seeds this whole thing what is the

triggers well there are several really

key

pathogens that are associated with

Alzheimer’s

you have the herpes simplex one virus

okay that’s been known to trigger

Alzheimer’s you also have spiral Keats

in Lyme disease you have something else

called climidophilia pneumonia which is

a microbe involved in pneumonia and

there’s several others and as far as

someone having this Gene susceptibility

to alzheimer’s that said APO E4 which

has a risk between 30 and 50 percent of

getting Alzheimer’s apparently if you

have that Gene you’re more susceptible

to allowing the herpes virus to cross

the blood-brain barrier into the brain

which explains a lot and so then this

got me thinking isn’t there a microbiome

in the brain

and apparently there’s been this

long-standing thought that no it’s all

sterile just like the blood was sterile

until they found out now it’s filled

with microbes well the brain does have a

microbiome that’s right and it’s there

probably to help protect you okay and

there’s a huge relationship between

Alzheimer’s and an altered microbiome in

your gut

but people don’t talk about the brain

and there’s just not a lot of research

with this microbiome what can we do

about it right well

the most important thing is to do

whatever you can to prevent it there’s

some other things that are involved in

this as well okay having a strong immune

system having a strong Diversified

microbiome

and also doing whatever you can to fix

insulin resistance which also makes you

very very susceptible I mean over 50 of

the population has insulin resistance

and that alone adds to the fire the

inflammation in the brain not being on

the ketogenic diet

being on too many carbs adds more

inflammation to the brain you want to

run your body on ketones that bypasses

the whole thing and so I think if you

get it in time and you can turn things

around really nice once you have it it’s

just more difficult I think you can

improve it it all depends on how much

damage that’s there and the other thing

is if you have this genetic weakness

this APO E4 you should definitely not be

drinking alcohol being exposed to

smoking okay you should be exercising

which will help the genes you should be

doing keto you should be eating

extremely healthy things with

antioxidants so some other things to

think about since 95 of the population

has herpes simplex one okay

is to keep that darn virus in remission

as much as you can right do what you can

to keep your body healthy

um because I’ve noticed people that get

head injuries and go through major

losses and stresses and then develop

Alzheimer’s right I think it kind of

just activates

what’s already there the herpes a virus

that kind of comes out of our mission

and then just makes things worse so we

have some key factors to look at we have

the epigenetic things you can do right

now okay and I have a lot of data on

this getting enough sleep the exercise

keeping your stress low eating extremely

healthy avoiding chemicals that can

trigger this if you keep your stress

really low and keep your resistance high

with your immune system you can keep

these viruses in remission I think

that’s really the key but there’s also

one more thing if you also practice

fasting anyone who has Alzheimer’s must

be doing intermittent fasting one meal a

day not two meals but one meal a day why

because you need the a good amount of

fasting to put your body into an

autophagy situation autophagy is where

your body is cleaning house it’s

cleaning up old dead proteins

it’s also strengthening your immune

system it’s also bringing your

inflammation down in your brain

it’s also going to help increase your

resistance to pathogens and on that note

I have a great video on epigenetics
