What happens when you use a PERSONALIZED, PRECISION approach to treating mild cognitive impairment? Over 9 months, patients in this pilot study made changes to address diet, vitamin and mineral deficiency, exercise, sleep, toxin exposure, hormones, thyroid function, GI dysfunction and more. All cognitive performance tests showed improvement and brain volume on MRI remained more stable.

Research and medicine both love the reductionist approach. Who wouldn't love a silver bullet? But, this study is a great reminder that our body is a system and a systems approach is the ONLY way to address complex and chronic issues like Alzheimer's.

Precision Medicine Approach to Alzheimer's Disease: Successful Pilot Project - PubMed Based on the cognitive improvements observed in this study, a larger, randomized, controlled trial of the precision medicine therapeutic approach described herein is warranted.

Fluoride has negative consequences for our brains (especially young brains)…

The idea that our oral microbes are influencing our health has not really gotten a lot of attention. As it turns out, the state of health, diversity and function of the microbes living within the mouth are highly influential in terms of our ability to resist disease and remain healthy. Recently, there's been a lot research relating the oral microbiome to such maladies as coronary artery disease and even Alzheimer's disease itself. This is just one of many fascinating topics in my discussion today with Dr. Mark Burhenne of @askthedentist.

Eating organic foods, free of pesticides isn't just a health fad. Over the years, RoundUp (glyphosate) has been linked to cancer, neurological conditions, reproductive health and more. They have settled over 100,000 lawsuits for adverse events. And, RoundUp has been banned in dozens of countries....but not the US.

With RoundUp under fire, Paraquat (another herbicide) came in to replace it. Yet, Paraquat is being linked to . The NIH acknowledged this link more than 10 years ago. Paraquat is currently banned in 32 countries....but not the US. It's taking private organizations to push our government to reconsider this potentially devastating risk.

Breaking News: EPA to Reconsider Herbicide Paraquat An important breakthrough in ongoing work to ban paraquat, an herbicide thought to increase Parkinson’s risk by 100 to 500 percent, depending on overall exposure.
