Introduction: What is Alzheimer’s?

It was estimated that 46.8 million people worldwide were living with Alzheimer’s
disease in 2015, which was a considerable increase from 35.6 million in 2010.
Alzheimer’s Disease International expects this number to double every 20 years
so it’s totally crucial that we try to make sure we don’t become one of the people
included in those statistics.

The scientific understanding of dementia has only recently shifted from that of a
late-life disease to that of a lifelong process which is affected by factors
throughout life. Read that again. You could well already be setting yourself up for
Alzheimer’s in later life, no matter what your age now. THIS IS A PROCESS, and the
actual disease showing itself is just the final step in that process.

A recent analysis found that as much as half of risk for Alzheimer's disease is due
to potentially modifiable factors (Barnes &Yaffe 2011). The effect of these factors
can be considerably reduced, either by making changes in lifestyle, or by making
sure that disorders such as depression and diabetes do not go undetected and
untreated. The fact that we cover all three diseases in this new documentary is
not a coincidence. They are so closely intertwined that it really is fascinating – if
somewhat frightening at the same time.

3
That dementia is, at least in part (and we would say a VERY VERY LARGE PART),
preventable is an important public health message (Barnett et al. 2013). Here we
look at seven key risk factors – all controllable by you - which can help prevent
Alzheimer's throughout your life.

4
Number 1: Detect and Treat Depression

Ironic right? That perhaps one of the main diseases we are looking at can be
prevented by avoiding ANOTHER of the main diseases that are under the
spotlight?While we don’t yet know how to prevent depression (although we do
have a LOT of information that can help you in the series), we do know that many
people with depression do not get a handle on it at all, and that untreated
depression can significantly increase risk for Alzheimer’s disease.

The links between depression and dementia are complex. Many cognitive
functions such as attention, memory and planning can be affected in depression
(Porter et al. 2003), and in older patients, it can be unclear whether a cognitive
problem is a symptom of depression, dementia, or both. In some cases, the two
afflictions seem to meld into one. It is thought that untreated depression can
significantly increase risk for Alzheimer’s disease – for example the MIRAGE study
found a significant association between depression and Alzheimer’s disease
(Green et al. 2003).

As someone who has suffered

depression himself, it scares me to
think that my depression makes it
more likely I will go down the
Alzheimer’s road later in life. It also
makes me all the more determined

5
NOT to go down that road – and in some ways, it’s that determination that has
led me into this series.

6
Number 2:Supplementation

Whether you are trying to fight off Alzheimer’s Disease, or just improve your
health in general – don’t forget about the supplements. Many people will tell you
that we can get all the nutrients we need from our food alone – well, I don’t buy
that. Even if we are eating exemplary diets of organic food (and really, who IS
doing that) – we still don’t get anywhere nearly the same amounts of nutrients
from the food as we would have done 20 years ago – so we NEED to supplement.

The B Vitamins – especially B12

I’ve done a lot of work with Dr Andrew W Saul over the years. He’s one of the
smartest guys on the planet when it comes to vitamins. And I’ve heard him say
many times in his Q&A sessions that a vitamin B12 deficiency can closely mirror
Alzheimers Disease. This is from his website, www.DoctorYourself.com

“B-12 deficiency may be mistaken for, or even cause, Alzheimer’s disease. B-12
deficiency is easy to come by in the elderly: poor diet; poor intestinal absorption
(due to less intrinsic factor being secreted by the stomach in the aging body, and
possibly due to calcium deficiency); digestive tract surgery; pharmaceutical
interference, notably from Dilantin (phenytoin); and stress all decrease B-12. It is
necessary to measure the cerebrospinal fluid, not the blood, to get accurate B-12
readings.”

So keep an eye on the B12 levels. They are more important than you know.

7
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Preclinical research suggests that ALA scavenges free radicals, reduces
inflammation, and may protect brain cells from conditions such as stroke,
multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. Preclinical studies also indicate that
ALA or a combination of ALA and regular exercise may improve certain aspects of
learning and memory

Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a very powerful anti-oxidant and as such, it will reduce free radicals
and it will also prevent cell damage. As you get older, the damaging effects of free
radicals increases, making this supplement all the more important.

8
Number 3: Drink Clean Water

Being Hydrated is critical to feeling good and having good energy. A lot of people
who are depressed experience reduced levels of energy, and dehydration can
definitely cause depression to be a lot worse.

But please – make sure you are

drinking water that is actually
good for you – because some
kinds of water can actually make
things worse.

Currently in most US states, tap

water around the country has Fluoride added to it. Whether or not fluoride in tap
water protects teeth is a much-debated topic, but what we do know is that
drinking water with fluoride is very bad for you. That’s especially true if your body
is already tired and run down from a condition like depression or diabetes.

For example, one study found that children who drank fluoridated water were
more likely to have problems with their thyroid hormones.1 Another study found
that fluoride in drinking water was associated with liver damage and kidney
damage in children.2

1Susheela, A. K., Bhatnagar, M., Vig, K., & Mondal, N. K. (2005). Excess fluoride ingestion and thyroid
hormone derangements in children living in Delhi, India. Fluoride, 38(2), 98-108.
2Xiong, X., Liu, J., He, W., Xia, T., He, P., Chen, X., ... & Wang, A. (2007). Dose–effect relationship
between drinking water fluoride levels and damage to liver and kidney functions in children.
Environmental Research, 103(1), 112-116.

9
So make sure that the water you are drinking does NOT contain fluoride.
ALSO – if you can afford to -

Get yourself a Hydrogen Water filter. Make sure that it eliminates Fluoride from
your supply as previously discussed. But the beauty of these is that they also add
H2 to your water and there are over 700 studies that show H2 is a great addition
to your health regime. I’ve used an Echo H2 machine myself – and it’s really
helped me.You can get more details on them HERE.

10
Number 4: Eat Healthily

As with physical activity, what’s good for the heart is good for the head: so it
probably comes as no surprise that being very overweight increases risk for
Alzheimer’s and other dementia-related diseases. But it is perhaps more
surprising that the specific types of food we eat can reduce our risk of Alzheimer’s
disease.

As with any eating regimen -there are differences of opinion – some of our
experts in the Live Longer! Series would never advise oils or fats of any kind – but
on balance -for brain function and Alzheimer’s, we think the correct fats are a
good thing.

Coconut Oil
In Alzheimer's disease, it's believed that brain cells have difficulty metabolizing
glucose. But the theory is that ketones that are produced in our bodies when
digesting coconut oil may provide an alternative fuel source to keep the brain
nourished.

There also seems to be A LOT of anecdotal evidence from people who have used
coconut oil in this way.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The Mediterranean diet is associated with a variety of health benefits, including a
lower incidence of dementia. Recently researchers have identified a specific

11
ingredient that would appear to protect against cognitive decline: extra-virgin
olive oil.
If you are going to try it – make absolutely sure that you are using a brand you can
trust – because of the premium prices that’s repaid for EVOO, many
manufacturers are using deceptive labelling practices -and some downright fraud
-to get people buying their products. Make sure you know where it came from
and make sure it’s organic.

Omega 3’s
Omega-3 fatty acids have shown anti-amyloid, anti-tau and anti-inflammatory
actions in the brains of animals. In an article published in the Journal
of Alzheimer's Disease, researchers have found that for patients with high omega-
3 levels, blood flow in specific areas of the brain is increased.

Green Vegetables
Mom always told you to eat your veggies, right? More often than not, they were
green. Those leafy greens contain important nutrients that may just hold off
dementia.

In other words, a salad a day keeps the doctor away.

New research from the journal Neurology suggests eating salad could also help
keep his memory in good shape.

12
 “Older adults who consume leafy
greens in their diet — the
equivalent of about a cup and a
half a day — they have lower risk
of developing memory deficits
associated with dementia,”- Dr.
Sarah Booth from the Tufts
University Nutrition Research Center On Aging said.

The study followed 960 people for about five years and focused on green, leafy
vegetables such as cooked spinach, kale and collard greens, and raw lettuce salad.
It found that those who ate the most leafy greens were 11 years younger in brain
age compared to those who ate the least.

Turmeric
Known to possess antioxidant
properties, curcumin may play
a key role
in turmeric's potential effects
against Alzheimer's disease... In
several animal-based studies,
scientists have observed that
turmeric may help clear beta-amyloid from the brain.

13
There are MANY turmeric supplements out there – or you can get the fresh root
and juice it yourself.

14
Number 5: Keep learning

In 2015, Alzheimer's Society funded researchers at King's College London to test

whether doing brain training games can improve cognitive function in older
people.

The study found that playing the games - which challenge people on reasoning
and problem solving- can help people over 60 to get on better with their daily
activities over 6 months. The researchers also saw improvements in reasoning
and verbal learning skills in those over 50.

There are many apps on our phones now

that are specifically aimed at keeping
your brain functioning in tip top shape –
or use the older pen and paper method
with crosswords and Sudoku. The bottom
line seems to be this -as with any muscle
-use it or lose it. The worst thing you can probably do is sit brainlessly in front of a
TV screen each evening.

As Hercule Poirot would say, you have to work those little grey cells.

15
Number 6: Quit the habit

Smokers have a 45% higher risk of developing dementia than non-smokers,

according to information published today by the World Health Organization
(WHO) and Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI). Evidence reviewed by WHO
reveals a strong link between smoking and the risk of dementia, and the more a
person smokes, the higher the risk. It is estimated that 14% of Alzheimer’s disease
cases worldwide are potentially attributable to smoking.

WHO warns that exposure to second-

hand smoke (passive smoking) may
also increase the risk of dementia.

So there can be no ambivalence here –

you need to kick the smoking habit
immediately.

16
Number 7: Detect and treat diabetes

Diabetes, and its treatments, can impact the brain and cognitive function, making
it another risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. In fact, many doctors (including
some in our own series) are starting to refer to Alzheimer’s as type 3 Diabetes.
The link really is that close.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies shows that people with diabetes
are at higher risk of Alzheimer’s (Lu et al. 2009).

So just reflect on that for a moment – getting Diabetes is bad enough in itself –
but it also puts you at MUCH GREAT risk for developing Alzheimer’s as well.
Frightening thought.

In this series we explore the fact that

all three of the diseases that we
feature prominently are actually
almost inextricably linked. Having one
gives you more chance of having
another. Let’s do all we can to avoid
any and all at the same time.

17
So what’s next?

Whilst these are not a complete or final list of the many risk factors of Alzheimer’s
disease, they are reasonable places to start in adjusting lifestyles to lower risk for
Alzheimer’s disease. Clearly, further studies are still needed to understand how
these and other lifestyle factors affect risk of Alzheimer’s, and how reduction in
these risk factors among those who already have some impairment might lower
the conversion rates to Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

As with most diseases now, we need to realise that we are dealing with a multi-
faceted problem. What we eat matters, avoiding toxins matters. Good water
matters. Sleep is crucial.

We need to look for a life of balance. Lots of rest. Times of silence. Great organic
food. Clean water. Walks in the Park. Good relationships. Simple things. But
totally crucial.

 Live Longer, Feel Better!
Defeating Dementia, Depression & Diabetes

It was really my own depression that led me into making films about health.
About five years ago I first discovered that niacin helped me a lot with my
symptoms. Through researching that I found Dr Andrew Saul, and together we
made That Vitamin Movie, my first attempt at film making.

Live Longer, Feel Better! Is our latest project, and when you downloaded this
report you were signed up for a free pass to watch all 9 parts of that
documentary.

In it I talk at length about the effects my own depression had on me, as well as
about the things I did to try to stop it. I think you’ll find it interesting and useful.
The first episode goes live at 6pm Eastern US time on April 23rd. I hope you can
join me.

Thanks for reading this – I hope it helps you in some small way and I hope you’ll
join us in the documentary to take the journey (and your knowledge) further.

19
Take care. And my prayer for you is a depression free day. There is life after
depression. It doesn’t seem like it at the time – but I’m here to tell you there can
be brighter days ahead.
