Alzheimer’s, Heart Disease, Cancer……
Medically the 3 big ticket items in America. Fewer than 10% of people that get these are in an “its genetic” situation. Medically the 3 big ticket items in America all have the immune system in common……
— In Alzheimer’s….macrophages are a specific type of immune system cell that are supposed to remove beta-amyloid plaques from brain blood vessel walls, preventing beta-amyloid’s continued accumulation and toxicity to brain cells, especially those in the memory areas of the brain called the hippocampus.

Rather than focus on the removal of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain by macrophages, the Traditional Medicine approach is to drug their way to artificially upping neurotransmitters related to memory and thinking ability to help people ‘live with” beta amyloid continuing to kill off their brain cells.
Rather than focus on the removal of choloesterol plaques by macrophages, the Traditional Medicine approach is to drug [via statin drugs….Lipitor, Crestor, Pravastatin, etc] their way to slowing the rate that cholesterol plaques continue to accumulate on blood vessels walls, continuing to close off the blood vessel and kill patient.
Rather than focus on the killing of cancer cells by Natural Killer cells, the Traditional Medicine approach is to drug and radiate their way to temporarily killing some cancer cells while also killing off the body’s main killers of cancer cells, sending the patient on their way with a low functioning immune system and the likelihood of recurrence in spite of the “cancer survivor” mantra.

— Relatively modest levels of immune system suppression maintained over years or decades can have major effects. It can be enough to create a situation where…..beta amyloid’s binding of a small amount of a substance called “macrophage-inhibitory factor” can be all that’s necessary for Alzheimer’s progression across years and decades.

— Relatively modest levels of immune system suppression maintained over years or decades can have major effects. It can be enough to create a situation where…..a small amount of cholesterol causing engorgement of macrophages rendering them useless can be all that’s necessary for Heart Disease progression across years and decades.

— Relatively modest levels of immune system suppression maintained over years or decades can have major effects. It can be enough to create a situation where…..cancer cell production of a small amount a substance called “Inter-Leukin-10”, preventing Natural Killer cells from killing them off can be all that’s necessary for Cancer progression across years and decades. To be a good doctor one must -first- be a good physiologist. Physiology is -not- pharmacology. Mind-Body Medicine is all but exclusively about using the brain to increase immune cell number, immune cell activity, and restore immune system functioning. Through published research, Nutrition Medicine has identified several individual nutrients that can be consumed in supplement form to increase immune cell number, immune cell activity, and restore immune system functioning. The immune system…..Chronically elevated levels of stress, levels maintained for years or decades chronically reduces immune cell number, immune cell activity, immune system functioning. Stress leads to increased production of beta-amyloid, increased deposits of cholesterol on blood vessel walls, increased production of cancerous cells.

Through published research, Nutrition Medicine has identified several individual nutrients that can be consumed in supplement form that interfere with beta amyloid production or its continued existence. Such as resveratrol. Such as curcumin. Such as N-acetyl-L-cysteine. Such as L-Carnitine.
Through published research, Nutrition Medicine has identified several individual nutrients that can be consumed in supplement form that interfere with cholesterol getting deposited on artery walls or aid in its removal. Such as Vitamin K2. Such as Allicin [Kyolic]. Such as Resveratrol.
Through published research, Nutrition Medicine has identified several individual nutrients that can be consumed in supplement form that can increase Natural Killer Cell activity and function in killing cancer cells. Such as liquid colostrum. Such as very long chain plant sugars [organic Aloe Juice]. Such as nucleotides.

“All the good things….they don’t teach us in medical school, because the drug companies pay for our education.” [Dr. John Sessions M.D.]

“……the benefits that US health care currently deliver may not outweigh the aggregate health harm it imparts.” [Journal Of The American Medical Association…Volume 302 #1..July 1, 2009…page 89 – 91] “In the United States, 50% of people over age 85 will develop Alzheimer’s disease” [CEO of the Alzheimer’s Foundation Of America]

Meditation or relaxation exercises.
The memory, thinking, and reasoning areas of the brain are no different than muscle. Decades of stress and overwork will present its bill at some point.

Exercise the brain.
The memory, thinking, and reasoning areas of the brain are no different than muscle. Atrophy due to disuse will eventually create a breeding ground for oxidants and pro-oxidants that will attack tissues and DNA, leading to several disease processes, from clogged blood vessels [stroke] to altered cell production [cancer]. This is more than “use it or lose it”. You’ll not only lose it if you don’t use it, but you’ll contribute to disease if you don’t use it.

Exercise the brain.
The brain controls muscle. Walking, running, lifting weights, ect, don’t just exercise muscles and heart, they exercise the brain cells as well. Atrophy due to disuse [ie. lack of exercise] will eventually create a breeding ground for oxidants and pro-oxidants that will attack tissues and DNA, leading to several disease processes, from clogged blood vessels [stroke] to altered cell production [cancer]. This is more than “use it or lose it”. You’ll not only lose it if you don’t use it, but you’ll contribute to disease if you don’t use it.
