let’s talk about alzheimer’s there’s

some recent information that i want to

share with you

that debunks this idea of amyloid

plaquing

causing alzheimer’s there is a

whistleblower

professor matthew shragg md phd who did

a deep dive in analysis on a

foundational

research study that was done in 2006

linking

that amyloid plaquing in your brain to

alzheimer’s okay now you have to realize

that all the funding and the studies

after that was based on this

study and if i’m not mistaken they

actually injected this amyloid plaquing

into the brains of animals and then they

they got dementia so that was a study

that a lot of research were looking for

to be able to continue their research

because so many studies at the time

did not

show positive improvement when they

tried to lower plaquing or trying to

block plaquing in the brain so in other

words this theory of plaque causing

alzheimer’s just never took off it never

showed results and very unfortunately a

lot of people

are depending on research to come up

with an answer a cure a solution for a

long time and basically for decades

they’ve been focusing on the wrong

target a similar thing happened with

this cholesterol you know being the bad

guy this hyper focus on cholesterol is

the root of your heart problems has been

going on since the 50s all based on some

research in the 50s where they

selectively

omitted certain information out of that

study which gave you the different

conclusion that cholesterol was bad and

of course it also happened with this

theory of

depression being a chemical imbalance

they recently found that there’s no

evidence showing

that

people who are depressed have a chemical

imbalance the very foundation that all

these drugs are based on now before i

get into what i believe is causing this

problem let’s first talk about the early

symptoms of alzheimer’s you have a

problem remembering recent events okay

you also have a problem trying to find

words

you have an issue with spatial location

trying to navigate through town without

a gps is very difficult and this relates

to a part of the brain called the

hippocampus which is

um all about

trying to locate yourself in in space

and that’s the first thing that happens

with alzheimer’s the hippocampus starts

to shrink

you also tend to get a loss of smell and

also mood swings

so to figure this problem out we have to

first

look at what we truly know okay

well we do know in alzheimer’s that the

brain does shrink and it starts off with

the hippocampus we also know that people

who are getting alzheimer’s are getting

younger and younger people who are 45

years old even people in their 30s and

even 20s are getting alzheimer’s which

is

insane they also have found a high

correlation between

hyperinsulinemia high insulin and

insulin resistance

and alzheimer’s and like i said before

they found that treating amyloid

plaquing just doesn’t

produce results it’s not fruitful and

they also talk about a risk factor

involving apoe which i’m not going to

get into in this video but all you

really need to know is that this is

related to ldl which by the way

is increased with this right here

hyperinsulinemia

and i’m going to touch a little more on

this in a bit

but

what i did is i started looking at

alternative theories to alzheimer’s okay

and i looked through a lot of data and i

spent a lot of time with dead ends until

i found an alternative theory

that just makes a lot of sense because

there’s a lot of additional information

that aligns with this theory and this

alternative theory is based on that

alzheimer’s is a lysosome storage

problem now what is a lysosome storage

problem it’s a little um factory in the

cell

that helps you

recycle

and clean up garbage so you have these

lysosomes in your cells you have them in

your neurons so apparently the garbage’s

disposal recycler mechanism is broken i

mean if you had no way of getting rid of

your trash in your house and it started

building up

it would eventually leave your house

unlivable okay because the garbage the

toxicity

well that’s exactly what’s happening

with alzheimer’s so in this little

lysosome which is the garbage disposal

recycler in your cells

you have the old damaged

stuff

garbage protein damaged proteins

goes through this little mechanism

there’s over 50 enzymes

and acids that are dissolving and

breaking things down

okay and it spits out on the other side

these renewed building blocks so your

body can be very efficient and build new

cells

this whole process is called autophagy

so autophagy is a condition in your body

where you’re recycling things so now the

question is

is there any data that backs this theory

up

and the answer is

yes

it just so happens there’s a very common

mutation with a gene

psen

which

if there’s a problem a mutation with

that gene you’re going to have a big

problem getting rid of the junk out of

your cells okay and apparently the

mutation of this gene has for a long

time been known to cause alzheimer’s so

that aligns with this theory as well

there’s also a patent that i found which

i’m going to put all the stuff down

below which involves enhancing

the function of your lysosomes okay

there are certain drugs that can be used

to help improve or enhance this function

of the lysosome and so these are the two

drugs right here and this one decreases

neurodegeneration and this drug right

here enhances neurogenesis they’re

rebuilding the creation of new neurons

now there are there any studies that

link autophagy to alzheimer’s and yes

there is there’s quite a few back in

these studies it shows that alzheimer’s

is a problem with autophagy and then the

question is what would trigger autophagy

well this is where i’m going to go right

now but you have to realize that the

most potent thing to trigger autophagy

is fasting and there’s a tremendous

amount of research showing that fasting

improves

alzheimer’s okay so a lot of these

factors align with this theory so to

date i think this right here is the most

likely real cause of alzheimer’s all

right so next question is

of course for those people that don’t

like to take drugs because they’re side

effects are there any natural

versions of these drugs that could

potentially enhance the lysosome well

yes there are a lot of things you can do

to enhance the lysosome function as well

as autophagy

and the first thing you should know is

what will induce autophagy is the

lowering of glucose that’s a very potent

trigger so what does this lower glucose

thing mean it means low carb no sugar

okay so

the ketogenic diet that would be number

one number two fasting i already

mentioned this if i personally had

alzheimer’s okay or or my wife had

alzheimer’s

i would get them

well she’s already on intermittent

fasting but i would get them on omad one

meal a day and every single week i would

do a 48-hour fast well you might be

saying what if the person’s too thin you

know that’s gonna be a problem listen i

would much rather have someone too thin

or myself be too thin

then get alzheimer’s my mother-in-law

had alzheimer’s and i went to the

assisted living home

where she was and it was devastating to

see

all these people

with alzheimer’s

and their spouses coming to visit them

sitting with them

trying to communicate with them in fact

that’s probably one of the most

devastating things that can happen to a

loved one

alzheimer’s because you basically

lose your ability to think communicate

and this is tragic and of course when i

was there and i was watching what they

were feeding them it was snacks between

meals it was pure carbohydrates all

right number three i looked up and found

some fascinating research on how you can

use certain herbs that have effects

that enhance the lysosome as well as

increasing autophagy and the number one

thing that i found is curcumin that

comes from turmeric amazing properties

not just for

improving your cognitive function i mean

it’s good for a lot of things but it

specifically improves and enhances the

lysosome which is fascinating number two

pine bark specifically pycnogenol in

pine bark has certain properties that

can help enhance the lysosome we also

have the herb thunder god vine

and green tea extract okay specifically

egcg has significant effects of

increasing

autophagy omega-3 fatty acids

specifically dha has great effects

increasing autophagy i also found data

on small chain fatty acids increased

autophagy as well and you get small

chain fatty acids from your microbes

your microbes make these fatty acids

from the fiber you eat i’m talking about

like salads so that fiber hits the

microbiome and then they make these

small chain fatty acids which are very

similar in chemistry to ketones

so going on the ketogenic diet reducing

glucose and also increasing these right

here increasing ketosis is the

beneficial thing

exercise is also another significant

inducer of autophagy so we want to

include that and then we have sleep

cruciferous vegetables certain

phytonutrients in extra virgin olive oil

make sure you get the real stuff and

lastly heat and cold

therapy so in summary alzheimer’s is not

about getting rid of plaque

it’s about getting rid of the garbage

that accumulates in the lysosome and you

do that by enhancing autophagy and

there’s one thing applying all this

to a loved one or a friend that you know

but it’s another thing to start applying

this information right away for yourself

and your friends and family to prevent

alzheimer’s and for those of you that

want to learn how to do fasting i put

this video up right here check it out
