Alzheimer's Disease: The Science and Mystery (2023)

Alzheimer’s (listed as the 7^th highest killer of Americans) is just one of the autoimmune diseases. Alzheimer’s has actually been with us for over a hundred years. Medical science says there is no known specific cause for this disease or any autoimmune disease.

Cause For Alzheimer’s

The cause for Alzheimer’s autoimmune disease is very simple. The cause is a plaque made of amino acids (protein) found in every Alzheimer’s patient’s brain called amyloid-beta (commonly called bad protein). This plaque is a chelating agent (which means it attracts heavy metals to it). This plaque would normally be eaten and carried away by the white blood cells (macrophages) of the immune system, and then disposed of. In Alzheimer’s patients, this does not happen. The plaque builds up and destroys brain cells around it leading to brain function problems and death.

Why Does This Happen?

Their immune system is too weak to do what it is designed to do. They suffer from the same problem that all Americans do, a weak immune system due to poor nutrition and a toxic environment. America has plenty of food but it is of poor quality and we do not understand how our digestion works. Then Americans are bombarded by about 10,000 toxic chemicals and 5 heavy metals found in our food, water, and air. Is it any wonder that we have diseases like Alzheimer’s that we do not understand?

Here is where the story gets interesting. You get Alzheimer’s because genetically that is where you are the weakest. Think of it this way. All your internal organs are like links in a chain. At one end of the chain, you have a poor lifestyle and nutrition pulling on the chain. At the other end of the chain, you have exposure to chemicals and heavy metals, which should not be there, pulling on the chain. If you strain your immune system enough this way you will find your weakest genetic link.

Colon And Alzheimer’s

Alzheimer’s disease has a strong relationship to the environment in the colon. Here is why; Alzheimer’s is a buildup of toxins in the brain even if they give it a fancy name (amyloid-beta plaque). If the person with Alzheimer’s has a problem with constipation then the toxins in the brain have nowhere to go. Open that avenue of elimination up and the toxins in the brain leave.

Sounds much too simplistic right? That’s, what I thought when I was told that a toxic colon was linked to my prostate cancer. When I cleansed and detoxed my colon that’s when my cancer symptoms began to turn around. See the Cancer section in Ailments on this site for a clear explanation of the connection between all diseases and the colon.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia.

The Morning Drink – Get it Here.

I also highly recommend the Morning Drink. It will alkalize the body and help cleanse out toxins at a steady rate. The Morning Drink also builds up your immune system and it is immune macrophages in the brain that help eliminate the plaque. You can also read below about the effect of pomegranate juice on lowering the plaque that causes Alzheimer’s disease.

Pomegranate Juice Could Help? Get Yours Here.

Pomegranate juice contains compounds called polyphenols, which are antioxidants that can protect the cells from being damaged by free radicals. Polyphenols can also be converted into urolithins by the bacteria in the gut. Urolithins are anti-inflammatory agents that can cross the blood-brain barrier and reduce the inflammation in the brain cells called microglia. Inflammation in microglia can lead to more plaque formation and neuron death.

Therefore, by drinking pomegranate juice, one may be able to lower the plaque for Alzheimer’s disease by preventing oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain. Some studies have shown that pomegranate juice can improve memory and cognitive function in people with mild memory complaints or those who underwent heart surgery. Pomegranate juice may also stimulate the growth of new neurons in the brain, which could help with learning and memory.

However, pomegranate juice is not a cure for Alzheimer’s disease or memory loss. It is part of a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and mental stimulation.
