After decades and billions of dollars spent on Alzheimer’s research with nothing much to show for it in the way of effective prevention or treatment, a UCLA researcher has broken through to produce some amazing results with a game-changing treatment program. And, wouldn’t you know it, his program has a lot in common with the Beyond Health Lifestyle! Dale E. Bredeson MD, Director of Neurodegenerative Disease Research at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and Founding President/CEO of the Buck Institute for Age Research in Novato, CA, had studied Alzheimer’s for years. He saw that although many individual lifestyle factors, herbs and supplements led to minor improvements, a more comprehensive approach was needed. His program, called MEND (Metabolic Enhancement for NeuroDegeneration), is an individualized approach covering 36 different factors that can be involved in developing cognitive impairment and ultimately Alzheimer’s. The great news is that this approach halted a…

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disease second only to Alzheimer’s as a thief of brain cells and quality of life.Although everyone’s PD journey is different in terms of the appearance and intensity of symptoms, and how quickly the disease progresses, the central feature of PD is that brain cells responsible for producing the neurotransmitter dopamine begin to die off. The resulting dopamine deficiency produces PD’s characteristic symptoms, including tremors, rigidity, posture and balance problems, slowed movement and difficulty initiating movement, and non-motor symptoms such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia and other sleep disorders, cognitive impairment and dementia. Allopathic medicine manages PD motor symptoms by replacing or boosting dopamine production. Most PD patients will need these drugs because by the time PD can be diagnosed, 60-80% of dopamine-producing brain cells are already gone. There is also a surgery called Deep Brain Stimulation that…

FLUORIDE EXPOSURE: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU DRINK Environmental exposure is no longer optional it’s cumulative.Today’s world presents us with chemicals through air, water, food, and personal care products. One substance receiving increasing scrutiny is fluoride, commonly added to public drinking water and found in multiple consumer products. Understanding where exposure comes from — and how much is too much — is essential for anyone seeking true cellular wellness. THE CORE CONCERN The primary issue is total exposure load, not just a single source. Fluoride can enter the body through: Drinking water Toothpaste ingestion (especially children) Processed foods and beverages Prescription medications Agricultural irrigation residues Even when each source is individually considered “safe,” cumulative exposure may exceed optimal biological tolerance levels for some individuals. WHY TOTAL EXPOSURE MATTERS Biology operates on thresholds. Eve…
