EAT LOTS OF EGGS
 There was a discussion on Alzheimer's this morning on a subscription forum.  One guy laid out a plan to improve cognitive functioning.  I have myself increased my egg consumption, eating the eggs either over-easy or sunny side up to keep the yoke liquid.  Keeping the yoke liquid means I retain all of the benefits from the choline and cholesterol that the food police have advised against.  Here are his comments:
 
Here is a list. You might want to print it out. There are two parts to this: diet and supplementation.

DIET
Eat lots of eggs. Yes, that is correct. Lots. Soft-boiled, poached, soft-scrambled, undercooked slowly in butter. No high-heat frying or hard-boiled. Raw is okay but it's best to cook the eggs somewhat. How many? 4-6 per day per 100 lbs. body weight. (Ex.: someone who weighs 200 lbs. should eat 8-12/ day. Your brain needs all the cholesterol you can give it, especially when it has been deprived of it for decades from bad medical theories! This is therapeutic nutrition we are talking about.

No fried foods. High-heat cooking and overheated fats and oils do a lot of free-radical damage inside the body.

No burnt foods, especially meats. Medium rare is best. (Cancer risk is also greatly reduced when you switch from well-done to medium rare.) Okay to boil in soup until the meat falls off the bones, but no frying or well-done. No well-done anything!

No processed meats: deli meats, lunch meats, ham, bacon, sausage, etc.--nitrates, nitrites, also fillers that are no good.

No vegetable oils--not even virgin coconut or olive (there are two camps on this issue, pro-oil, anti-oil). They all turn into trans-fats once inside the body. Oil is notoriously perishable, turns rancid quickly. Some people claim positive results with coconut oil. I err on the side of caution.

Definitely NO hydrogenated fats or oils. Unless you like machine lubricant in your diet.

Eat butter, cream, lard, avocado and nuts for healthy fats.


NO GLUTEN: wheat, barley, rye, oats. Gluten intolerance is a hidden pandemic that affects millions if not tens of millions/ hundreds of millions of people in this country. More Americans have gluten intolerance than they think:

We eat WAY too many grain products, wheat-based and otherwise. Eliminate as much as possible. A little gluten-free is okay: rice, millet, buckwheat, flax, for example. Corn is iffy because it is mostly GMO now.

That reminds me, NO GMO!

Eat fresh meats and poultry: grass-fed, free-range (local, organic, if possible), wild-caught fish packed in water. No farmed fish.

A little fruit. A LOT of vegetables. Sweet potatoes are very good nutritionally.

No sugar or corn syrup. Little to no honey, molasses or "natural" sweetener. The body gets all the sugar it needs from all of the above. Liquid nutrition products given to infants and the elderly are famous for their high fructose corn syrup and low nutritive value.


This is also a very good all-purpose, anti-inflammatory, anti-disease diet as well. Anyone would benefit from it. I follow it myself.

I would also skip vaccinations. Flu shots, shingles shots, etc. Too many viruses, too many toxic preservatives and adjuvants. Too little benefit with too many risks.


 
SUPPLEMENTS
I will have to come back to this. Time constraints! But I wanted to at least post the dietary side first.

. . . Alzheimers is not genetic. For that matter, NO disease is genetic. That is the latest trendy medical theory like bloodletting and the low-fat/low cholesterol myth. Genetics can be influenced by external-environmental factors. They are not etched in stone.

To be continued...
