There's a lot of money to be made from telling healthy people they're sick. Some forms of medicalising ordinary life may now be better described as disease mongering

Disease mongering can include turning ordinary ailments into medical problems,

seeing mild symptoms as serious treating personal problems as medical seeing risks as diseases framing prevalence estimates to maximize potential

Selling sickness: the pharmaceutical industry and disease mongering

Mayo Clinic study of 11,000 people found that diabetics had a greater decline in cognitive processing speed… and dementia

6,370 patients, ages 55 and older, Dutch researchers …type 2 diabetes faced nearly a 9% increased risk of developing dementia – and Alzheimer's disease

Harvard Medical School researchers …2,300 women , 70 to 78 years old. Women without diabetes were more than twice as likely to score better than those with diabetes.

"Based on calculations within the women in our study, we found that having diabetes was equivalent to aging 4 years in terms of scores”

10,000 people, cognitive test scores were compared six years apart. Diabetes was associated with greater cognitive decline in participants aged 40 to 70 years old,

Over a treatment period of five years, 150 patients would need to be treated to avoid one myocardial infarction

142 patients to avoid one episode of microalbuminuria

47% increase in risk of congestive heart failure

9% reduction of glucose = 19% increase in all cause mortality 14% reduction of glucose = 43% increase in cardiovascular death.

9% reduction of glucose = 19% increase in all cause mortality

14% reduction of glucose = 43% increase in cardiovascular death.

insulin's major role is not to lower sugar, but to take the extra energy when available and store it for future times of need.

Insulin lowers glucose as a side effect of directing the extra into storage.

when insulin is kept low either through diet or via genetic manipulation animals live much longer and the rate of aging is significantly reduced.

the major symptoms of aging -- diabetes, heart disease, obesity, osteoporosis, dementia, cancer

low insulin is a signal that energy is scarce and animals need to focus their energy needs on maintaining and repairing themselves so that they can outlive the famine

MS, Parkinson's Symptoms Reversed A study evaluated the data from 44 MS

patients and 37 PD patients who received treatment over a five-year period.

Results of Treating Upper Neck Injuries in 81 Patients •91 percent of MS patients showed improvement •92 percent of PD patients showed improvement

When Neck Injuries are Left Untreated Upper neck injuries usually occur as the result of accidents in

which the individual sustains a sudden hit to the head.

Symptoms of MS and PD could surface in months, years or even decades following the accident.

Often, the individual doesn't even realize the extent of the injury they sustained.

Parkinson’s Disease caused by Toxicity and/or Trauma

Toxicities: • Pesticides• MSG• Excess Iron•Trauma•alcohol abuse•Neurotoxins (Neuro = Nerve Toxins = Poison)

• RX medication:Tylenol ( leading cause of liver damage) , anticonvulsant medications (such as dilantin, phenytoin and primidone) metformin (sometimes prescribed to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes) sulfasalazine (used for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) triamterene (a diuretic for high blood pressure) methotrexate (used for cancer and other diseases ie: rheumatoid arthritis) barbiturates (used as sedatives)

Deficiencies:• Decreased Folate • Not enough good fats (omega 3’s)

Toxic reactions to drugsMedications can cause mental decline

With aging, the liver becomes less efficient at metabolizing drugs, and the kidneys eliminate them from the body more slowly. As a result, drugs tend to accumulate in the body. Elderly people in poor health and those taking several different medications are especially vulnerable.The list of drugs that can cause dementia-like symptoms is long:

•antidepressants•antihistamines•anti-Parkinson drugs•anti-anxiety medications•cardiovascular drugs

•anticonvulsants•corticosteroids•narcotics•sedatives

Dementia could be a symptom of low levels of vitamin B12.

include:•Yellowish skin •Dementia•Fatigue •Shortness of breath •Headaches •Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet •Trouble keeping balance

Antacids Dementia and Vitamin B12 deficiency

Thyroid diseaseAn overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism) is commonly caused by Graves’ disease, while an underproduction (hypothyroidism) usually results from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Both disorders can cause dementia-like symptoms.

Hyperthyroidism. To diagnose hyperthyroidism, physicians use a simple blood test that measures levels of thyroid hormones. Surgically removing the thyroid or destroying it with radioactive iodine usually corrects the cognitive problems.

Hypothyroidism. This is diagnosed by measuring the level of thyroid-stimulating hormone circulating in the blood. Physicians usually recommend thyroid hormone replacement, but this treatment doesn’t always reverse the dementia.

Official Harvard CausesWhere is the “WHY”

Vascular dementiaWhere is the “WHY”

Some cognitive problems stem from insufficient blood flow to portions of the brain. The decrease in blood flow is often the result of atherosclerosis in the blood vessels that feed the brain

risk factors:•hypertension (high blood pressure)•cardiovascular disease•diabetes•a history of stroke

The mental deterioration proceeds in a “stairstep” pattern—a person suffers a sudden cognitive decline, the decline levels off, and then new strokes cause another sudden decline

Degenerative diseases•Alzheimer’s = more than 50% of cases of dementia,

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease account for approximately 25% of all dementias.

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration. atrophy of the front part of the brain, including the frontal and temporal lobes.

NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and COX-2 inhibitors

Linked to Dementia

Acetaminophen ( Tylenol, Panadol, Tylenol Arthritis and Excedrin)Codeine and Codeine with Acetaminophen (Tylenol #2,3,4)Duragesic (Fentanyl Skin Patch)Morphine Sulphate (MS Contin)Oxycodone (OxyContin)Percocet (Oxycodone with Acetaminophen)Percodan (Oxycodone with Aspirin)Talwin NX (Pentazocine and Naloxone)Ultram (Tramadol)Ultracet (Tramadol with Acetaminophen)Vicodin (Hydrocodone With Acetaminophen)

The study doesn't disprove the theory that inflammation is a factor in Alzheimer's, though, says Jason Karlawish, "Negative studies like this that fail to prove the hypothesis leave thousands of questions to be answered," Karlawish

During the study, 476 people developed dementia, and heavy NSAID users had a 66% higher risk of developing the condition than those with low or no use

In a study published in the British Medical Journal, researchers looked at 24 studies carried out between 1966 and 2003 and found that the adverse effects of sedatives prescribed for sleep outweighed the positive effects they provided.

Anticholinergic means blocking the effects of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

Drugs that have anticholinergic effects include but are not limited to:

• Tricyclic antidepressants •Antipsychotics •SSRI antidepressants Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil•Diphenhydramine (Benadryl, other antihistamines) •Some Sleep Meds

Many Drugs Can Cause Dementia

Over-the-counter drugs:Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac, hay fever medications, cold and flu medicines, sleeping pills and anti-diarrhea treatments

Effects of the Chemical Products (medications):Symptoms of confusion, memory loss and disorientation, potential side effects included glaucoma-like blurred vision, dry mouth, constipation, urinary problems, dizziness, likelihood of falling, anxiety, rapid shallow breathing, and irregular or rapid heartbeat.

In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), an association with cholesterol is recognized, although poorly understood and often overlooked.

A study on membranes prepared from cortical grey matter of AD patients showed that the cholesterol… was reduced by 30%

This aberrant pattern could be restored to that found in the membranes from non-AD controls by cholesterol enrichment of the AD membranes.

It is of interest, therefore, that mice[cholesterol deficient] show many of the neurotransmitter deficits and loss of memory that are characteristic of AD

Correspondingly, there is evidence that induced depletions of neuronal cholesterol can affect synaptic plasticity and neurodegeneration

“Studies have shown that the body uses glutamate, an amino acid, as a nerve impulse transmitter in the brain and that there are glutamate-responsive tissues in other parts of the body, as well.

Abnormal function of glutamate receptors has been linked with certain neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's chorea. Injections of glutamate in laboratory animals have resulted in damage to nerve cells in the brain.”

Environment and brain plasticity: towards an endogenous pharmacotherapy.

Physiol Rev. 2014 Jan

Brain plasticity refers to the remarkable property of cerebral neurons to change their structure and function in response to experience, a fundamental theoretical theme in the field of basic research and a major focus for neural rehabilitation following brain disease.

…the influence exerted by the environment on brain plasticity processes, with special emphasis on the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms … highly relevant work performed in humans.

…how changes at the level of neuronal properties can ultimately affect and direct key perceptual and behavioral outputs.

…striking ability of environmental enrichment and physical exercise to empower adult brain plasticity.

Endogenous substances are those that originate from within an organism, tissue, or cellPharmacotherapy is the treatment of disease through the administration of drugs

MSG and Depression

Researchers have also discovered that most people with major depressive disease (MDD) have higher levels of the neurotransmitter glutamate in their spinal fluid (CSF) and blood plasma.

This is the same glutamate found as a food additive-for example, MSG (monosodium glutamate), hydrolyzed proteins, calcium or sodium casienate, soy protein isolate, vegetable protein concentrate or isolate, etc.

Free glutamate, that is, existing outside the neurons, is very toxic to brain connections and brain cells themselves -- mainly by a process called excitotoxicity.

Vaccine-related brain injury

Vaccines are made of two components -- the agent you wish to vaccinate against and an immune adjuvant. These adjuvants are composed of such things as aluminum compounds, MSG, lipid compounds and even mercury.

Studies have shown that these adjuvants, from a single vaccine, can cause immune overactivation

**No studies show the effects of the hyper-sensatization of the immune system to yearly flu shots from 6 months for life

WARNING: SUICIDALITY AND ANTIDEPRESSANT DRUGSAntidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of PROZAC or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need.

•The hippocampus shrinks in late adulthood

Researchers at Harvard, Yale, and the M.I.T.first evidence that meditation can alter the physical

structure of our brains

“Our data suggest that meditation practice can promote cortical plasticity in adults in areas important for cognitive and emotional processing and well-being,”

“These findings are consistent with other studies that demonstrated increased thickness of:• music areas in the brains of musicians•visual and motor areas in the brains of jugglers

In other words, the structure of an adult brain can change in response to repeated practice.”

How Exercise Helps Older Brains•moderate exercise can reverse normal brain shrinkage by two percent, effectively reversing age-related hippocampus degeneration by one to two years•the people in the control group who didn't exercise saw an average of 1.4 percent decrease in hippocampus size

According to the research team:"We demonstrate that loss of hippocampal volume in late adulthood is not inevitable and can be reversed with moderate-intensity exercise."

Other contributing factors to brain …include•decrease in blood flow to your brain (Blood pressure drugs)•the accumulation of environmental toxins in your brain (Vaccinations)

Exercise •increasing blood flow to your brain•increasing oxygen supply to your brain•encouraging a more vigorous release of accumulated toxins through better blood circulation•Increased blood flow increases nutrients necessary to keep your brain cells

MERCURY LINKED TO ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE!

Scientists have shown that trace amounts of mercury can cause the type of damage to nerves that is characteristic of the damage found in Alzheimer’s disease

Humans with mercury/silver amalgam dental fillings. found that exposure to mercury caused the  formation of “neurofibrillar tangles,” which are one of the two diagnostic markers  for Alzheimer’s disease.

Previous research has shown that mercury can cause the formation of the other Alzheimer’s disease marker, “amyloid plaques.” The scientists also exposed the test nerves to other elements, including aluminum, but found that only mercury caused the damage consistent with Alzheimer’s disease.

CHEMICALS in hair dye could raise the risk of dementia, research suggests.

And it appears hairdressers face a higher than normal risk of suffering early- onset dementia, Alzheimer's disease and motor neurone disease.

Other studies have suggested they might be linked to cancer with rates of bladder tumours in women who dye their hair twice that of those who keep their natural colour. It is thought chemicals may build up in the bladder and so damage cells.

One Swedish study found that women who use hair dye for 20 years could be doubling their risk of developing arthritis.

Another report suggested the dye could cause birth defects in unborn children when absorbed through a pregnant mother's scalp and into her bloodstream.

Bt trait indeed led to a reduction in insecticide use of 123 million pounds between 1996 and 2011. But that figure is dwarfed by the 527 million pound, GMO-driven increase in herbicide use over the same period. In other words, GMOs have added more than four pounds of herbicides to US farm fields for every pound of insecticide they've taken away. Overall, Benbrook found, GMOs have lead to a net increase in pesticide use (meaning herbicides plus insecticides) of 404 million pounds, a 7 percent gain.And just as weeds developed resistance to year-after-year applications of Roundup, corn's number-one insect pest, the rootworm, is quickly evolving to be able to withstand Bt-engineered corn, as I've reported before. Benbrook told me that in areas of the Midwest where farmers have been planting Bt corn year after year—an increasingly popular practice, since the explosion in ethanol production that started in 2006—ag university extension experts are suggesting that farmers spray other insecticides to supplement the failing Bt trait in their corn. "The goal of this technology was to make it possible not have to spray these corn insecticides, and now we have to spray them again to bail out this technology," Benbrook told me.

Subjects who were on statins, however, did not show the normal improvement—suggesting their learning was impaired. The second trial reported similar findings.
