You can take steps now to revers the decline.

no past and no context
for the present, and
without a presnt you
have no way to plan
for the future.
If you don't protect
your memory,
you will lose it."
Dr Arnold Bresky
Alzheimer's is the 7th leading cause of death.
Before the age of 65 there is only one chance in 1,000 of contracting Alzheimer's disease.
However, at 65 there is one chance in only 20 of escaping.
By the time you reach the age of 80, one in five has Alzheimer's ....and by the age of 85, one in two people has the disease.
There are no cures - you can ONLY rely on Natural Cures earlier in your life, like diet and a stress relief plan of action, to prevent the conditions that foster disease.
The Mediterranean Diet: Basic Dietary Guideline
Use olive oil in everything.
Oleocanthal, a compound in olive oil reduces inflammation, which prevents conditions like heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's, and autoimmune diseases, as well as certain cancers.
Omega-3 fatty acids (fish) have been shown to reduce the incidence of heart attacks, blood clots, hypertension, and strokes; and prevent some cancers and lower the risk of neurological disorders like Dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Diet specifics.
- 80% of the diet is fruits, vegetables, bread and other cereals, potatoes, beans, nuts and seeds.
- Olive oil is the primary monounsaturated fat source
- Dairy products, red meat and poultry are eaten infrequently
- Fish and eggs are consumed one to four times a week
- Red wine is consumed in low to moderate amounts
Implementing the Mediterranean diet.
Switching to a Mediterranean diet is easy. Eat small portions of high-quality food that tastes delicious and you'll maintain your optimum body weight. Choose plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, limit red meat, and eat fish at least once a week. Switch to skim milk, fat-free yogurt and low-fat cheese.
The Mediterranean Diet Action Plan
- Eat a variety of whole fruits and vegetables every day in seven to 10 servings. Fruit salads are a wonderful way to eat a variety of healthy fruit.
- Have snack-foods on handy- carrots, celery, apples, bananas, avocados, walnuts, almonds, pecans and Brazil nuts. Eat organic natural peanut butter without the sugars.
- Use canola or olive oil in cooking. Use olive oil for salad dressing and to replace dairy. Dip bread in flavored olive oil or lightly spread it on whole-grain bread.
- Add fish and poultry (replacing red meat and eliminate sausage, bacon and high-fat meats.)
Take a walk in the fresh air and sunshine.
Exercise is a big part of a healthy lifestyle.
Eat grilled (in olive oil) or baked fish once or twice a week.
Healthier choices are water-packed tuna, salmon, trout, mackerel and herring.
Eat "deep sea caught and quick frozen and not "local off-shore" fish to avoid pollutants and mercury. - Whole grains in their natural state are full of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. Use whole grain foods like bread, pasta, potatoes, polenta, rice, and couscous. "Ezekial 4:9" bread is organic and wheat and gluten free...and comes with cinnamon and raisons too.
- Enjoy a glass of red wine with meals. Red wine lowers the rates of heart disease, due to antioxidants (transresveratrol and oligomeric proanthocyanidin (OPC) keep blood circulation healthy and prevent blood clots from forming.)
- Fruit for dessert is naturally sweet and has fiber and nutrients (apples, grapes, and oranges). Omit pastry and processed sweats. Use honey as a natural sweetner - and for hot drinks - don't heat over 105º to retain it's nutritional and curative properties.
- Natural teas. Boil water in a glass pot and add fresh mint, eucalyptus leaves or organic varieties - Steep and serve. Make healthy natural teas with ginger and lemon grass: boil in a glass pot for 20 minutes.
- Take a walk. The Mediterranean diet is successful in part because the people walk everywhere -- and exercise is a natural part of the Mediterranean lifestyle. Your body can not function without it - and your lymph system needs movement to work at all. Once you have increased your nutrition you'll find you have the added energy to walk or ride your bike.

"Pharmaceutical
drugs come with
information sheets
listing voluminous
side effects that

When a drug is
introduced into
the body to treat a
malfunction in one
protein, that drug
inevitable interacts
with at least one
and possibly many
other proteins.
Complicating the drug
side-effec issue is
also the fact that
biological systems are
redundant. The same
signals or protein
molecules may be
simultaneously used in
different organs and
tissues where they
provide for
completely different
behavioral functions."

"Your thoughts are
not contained in your
head -- they are part
of the Quantum Field.
When playing through
your nervous system
the thoughs generate
a vibatory field
similar to that of a

"It is impossible for
anyone to simply
observe the world
around them.
If we are watching

The diseases that are
