Cognitive Impairment / Alzheimer's Rescue Plan

Dr. Bredesen, of the Buck Institute, UCLA and author of The End of Alzheimer’s, identified about 36 different metabolic factors that contribute to mild cognitive impairment, leading to Alzheimer’s disease. Prevention and reversal of cognitive impairment requires dealing with all of the factors that are not normal/optimal in a person.

The team of researchers led by Dr. Dale Bredesen has found 3 basic types of Alzheimer’s Disease:

1. Inflammatory Alzheimer’s
2. Atrophic Alzheimer’s
3. Toxic Alzheimer’s

Type 1 Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by low-grade inflammation throughout the body. As we burn hydrogen to make energy, sparks fly out (free-radicals) and need quenched so they don’t damage us. Without our full network of antioxidant protection we burn up in under-controlled fire, like an engine without a cooling system. This burning is manifested in pain, aches, slow-healing wounds, brain fog, and a lousy attitude. You could call this under-controlled fire “metabolic inflammation.” And in those carrying one or two copies of the ApoE4 gene, this metabolic inflammation can lead to cognitive decline and eventually to Alzheimer’s. Ridding the body of metabolic inflammation is the key to turning around this type of Alzheimer’s.

Type 2 Alzheimer’s disease is more like a wasting away disease. In these cases people are low in hormones (thyroid, adrenal, sex hormones, vitamin D) and factors that promote the growth, survival and differentiation of neurons. Better cellular nutrition and hormone balancing is helpful in supplying the body what it needs to heal itself in this case.

Type 3 Alzheimer’s disease tends to strike younger and is due to heavy exposure to chemicals, pesticides or toxins at work or in some bad environment that their body could not detoxify. Detoxification is what helps most in these cases of Alzheimer’s.

Exposure to chemicals, pesticides, or toxins are contributing causes of cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s. Memory loss may result from repeated exposure to heavy metals like aluminum or radiation from your cell phone.

The body knows how to heal itself. But without the resources to do so, it is incapacitated, unable to gain the upper hand against its environment. And you suffer for it.

Cars have built-in cooling systems, but they don’t work without the proper fluids in them. In the same way, your body has self-healing built in, but it can’t function unless you supply it with the optimized plant-based nutrition to cool off the excess fire that comes from metabolizing hydrogen into energy.

Other lifestyle habits that improve brain health include getting exercise most days of the week, and reducing the effects of stress by unwinding and finding refreshment, joy and perspective on your troubles.

You can also improve brain health by keeping it active through reading, puzzles, playing cards or whatever hobby you enjoy doing. Learning new skills helps the brain stay healthy.

Note: Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Fiber Cleanse if on prescription drugs. Pregnant or lactating women should not use fiber Cleanse. Do not use for more than two or three consecutive months.

Vitamin B12, B6, and Folate work synergistically to support cardiovascular, cognitive, mental, and nerve health. Vitamin B-12 deficiency is common with symptoms ranging from confusion, depression, anemia, dementia, fatigue, intestinal problems, mood disturbances, muscle weakness, numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, and poor memory. These three B vitamins together play a vital role in our body’s energy production and detoxification processes.

Benefits may include:

• Liver Support for Elimination of Harmful Toxins
• Supports Optimal Energy Production
• Stronger Immune System
• BioActive B6 is a Potent Antioxidant
• Supports Optimal Nerve Health
• Mental Health and Mood Stabilization

• Helps Maintain Normal Homocysteine Levels

Curcumin is a powerful herbal extract that turns on our healing genes and turns off our inflammatory genes. It is also a powerful antioxidant, derived from the spice turmeric. It has many scientifically proven health benefits for the brain, gut, joints, liver and immune system. It has so many effects because it affects so many metabolic pathways in our cells. Curcumin provides the body with free radical fighting properties preventing oxidative damage to DNA, proteins, and cell membranes.

Benefits may include:

• Supports Normal Anti-Inflammatory Gene Expression
• Potent Antioxidant
• Stronger Immune System
• Supports Optimal Cognitive Functioning
• Optimal Mental Health and Mood Stabilization
• Supports Healthy Joint Function

The Hallelujah Diet’s Professional Strength DHA is the most concentrated form of DHA available. DHA is an omega-3 fat that supports brain, eye, and heart health. We need DHA for building optimal cell membranes and body structures. Since our bodies don’t produce much DHA, we need to consume omega-3 fats from food, supplements, or both. Without adequate levels of DHA incorporated into the membranes of your cells throughout your entire physical structure, your body cannot support the normal healthy function of your brain, your heart, your eyes, or your other vital organs. In such a malnourished state disease is inevitable because the body doesn’t have the resources to build health.

Benefits may include:

• Supports Optimal Cardiovascular Health
• Supports Optimal Cognitive Functioning
• Supports Optimal Mental Health and Mood Stabilization
• Supports Healthy Joint Function
• Supports Optimal Eye Health
• Stronger Immune System

Vitamin D3 with K2 is a synergistic combination to maintain healthy calcium levels in the body. Vitamin D3 controls the absorption of calcium into the blood. Vitamin K2 controls where that calcium lands in the body. Vitamin D3 is critical to the proper function of the immune system, and low levels of vitamin D3 have been associated with higher risk of many autoimmune diseases. Optimal levels of vitamin D3 appear to help the body balance its immune response so that acute needs for inflammation are met, like when fighting infections, without leading to chronic ongoing inflammation when the acute need is past.

Benefits may include:

• Balanced Immune System Response
• Supports Optimal Bone Health
• Supports Optimal Mental Health
• Supports Healthy Cognition
• Supports Optimal Cardiovascular Health
• Supports Proper Deposition of Calcium, not in soft tissues

The Hallelujah Diet’s Liposomal Vitamin C is a lipid-encapsulated form of vitamin C delivering this powerful nutrient directly to the cells of the body bypassing digestion. The result is that you get far higher delivery of vitamin C with liposomal encapsulation than you do by just taking vitamin C by itself.

Vitamin C is critical for overall health and immunity with links to impressive health benefits for nearly every organ of the body, from the skin on the bottom of your feet to the nerves firing inside your brain. Vitamin C is especially beneficial for the cardiovascular system, for the immune system and for your brain function. Vitamin C supports healthy aging.

Benefits may include:

• Supports Optimal Immune System Function
• Potent Antioxidant to Quench Metabolic Inflammation
• Provides White Blood Cells With Resources to Fights Infections
• Supports Healthy Cognitive Function
• Supports Optimal Cardiovascular Health

Magnesium Complex is a blend of four bioavailable forms of magnesium. It is one of seven essential macro-minerals that need to be consumed in relatively large amounts through our diet or supplementation. Magnesium is a cofactor in over 350 different enzyme reactions, including energy production. About 80% of the USA population is deficient in magnesium. Magnesium is the anti-anxiety, flexibility, relaxation mineral.

Benefits may include:

• Promote Bone Health
• Supports Optimal Cardiovascular Function
• Supports Normal Blood Sugar Levels
• Magnesium Shortage Can Be A Factor In Headaches
• Lessened Premenstrual Symptoms
• Reduced Anxiety
• Supports Brain Health
