Brain Protection Protocol

"Fix your Body and you will fix your Brain" Doctor Mark Hyman MD

"Food is powerful medicine. Eating more of certain foods and less of others can substantially boost the bodies ability to fight most illnesses from colds to cancer."   Doctor Keith Block MD

"It appears that obesity is not the only thing controlled by the information in our food. So are stress response, mood, behavior. memory and brain function. That is why a fresh, whole food, organic, real-food diet is the foundation of health."  Doctor Mark Hyman

"Autism is not a brain disorder but a systematic disorder that affects the brain." Doctor Martha Herbert MD

"With autism we see clearly the effects of systemic imbalances in the body on the brain and mind. And what holds of autism holds true true of brain disorders like depression, Alzheimer's and a host of others as well." Doctor Mark Hyman MD

“Activated vitamin D increases nerve growth factor in the brain and the vitamin D receptor appears in a wide variety of brain tissue quite early in the development of the baby. Vitamin D deficiency should be examined in more detail as a candidate risk factor for neurodevelopmental disorders." McGrath et al

“We present here for the first time evidence for neuronal damage caused by nonthermal microwave exposure. The cortex as well as the hippocampus and the basal ganglia in the brains of exposed rats contained damaged neurons.”  Nerve Cell Damage in Mammalian Brain after Exposure to Microwaves from GSM Mobile Phones

“Mercury poisoning and autism have nearly identical symptoms,^”  DISPELLING VACCINATION MYTHS:

“Another important factor with regard to mercury on the mind … is synergistic toxicity -- mercury's enhanced effect when other poisons are present. A small dose of mercury that kills 1 in 100 rats and a dose of aluminum that will kill 1 in 100 rats, when combined have a striking effect: all the rats die. Doses of mercury that have a 1 percent mortality will have a 100 percent mortality rate if some aluminum is there. Vaccines contain aluminum.” Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD   Note both mercury and aluminum are found in MANY "vaccines"

“A study led by the U.S. EPA looks at mercury levels in women of childbearing age. According the study, one in ten women nationwide exceeded the mercury concentration levels that risk fetal health.” Environmental Health News

“The MMR vaccine was not adequately tested and should not have been licensed.”  Journal of Adverse Drug Reactions Jan 2000

“The medical authorities keep lying. Vaccination has been a disaster on the immune system. It actually causes a lot of illnesses. We are actually changing our genetic code through vaccination...100 years from now we will know that the biggest crime against humanity was vaccines.” Guylaine Lanctot, M.D

“Vaccination may inflame your brain for as long as TWO YEARS after you get the vaccination.”  Doctor Russell Blaylock MD

“Systemic Zinc deficiency can also affect the permeability of brain barriers. Zinc deficiency significantly increases the permeability of the blood–brain barrier.” Noseworthy and Bray (2000)

“In a review of 40 clinical studies using ginkgo Biloba for cerebral insufficiency virtually all trials reported positive results. Compared to the control group the group receiving ginkgo showed significant improvement in symptoms such as memory difficulty, confusion, fatigue, anxiety, dizziness, tinnitus and headaches with no serious side effects. ” Kleijnen et al

“In our initial work we examined the consequences of the loss of BBB integrity during zinc deficiency. First, we noted significantly increased water content, or edema, of the brain as a result of zinc deficiency. Second, we observed increased protein oxidation within the brain. And third, we documented significant changes in brain energy metabolism. These observations led us to propose that these events may be pivotal in the development and pathogenesis of many brain disorders.” Mark A. Levy, PhD & Tammy M. Bray, PhD

“Zinc deficiency has been proposed to lead to nervous system disorders, including mental disturbances, loss of sensory acuity, and impaired cognitive and psychological function. Notably, oxidative stress is associated with the development and progression of several different neuropathologies, including Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, and Parkinson’s disease.” Mark A. Levy, PhD & Tammy M. Bray, PhD

“In an analysis of over 160 studies the omega 3 EFAs DHA and EPA along with ALA and folic acid emerged as significant dietary  compounds to enhance learning and memory and prevent mental disorders.” Life Extension

“The single most important step you can take to improve your aging mind is to reduce your cortisol levels by lowering your stress.” Doctor Nan Fuchs PhD

“The scientific data stress the importance of the mother having enough vitamin D while she is pregnant and the child having enough vitamin D after birth for normal brain functioning." Doctor Kalueff NIMH

“Cholesterol is vital to proper neurological function. It plays a key role in the formation of memory and the uptake of hormones in the brain, including serotonin, the body’s feel-good chemical. When cholesterol levels drop too low, the serotonin receptors cannot work. Cholesterol is the main organic molecule in the brain, constituting over half the dry weight of the cerebral cortex.”   Sally Fallon and Mary G. Enig, PhD

"Dental diseases, mental diseases, heart disease, infectious respiratory diseases, and heart disease are all at least partially caused by common failures in metabolism. Such failures are inevitable when there is a deficiency of essential nutrients, particularly vitamins D, C, and niacin. There is especially strong evidence for a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and cavities. Dozens of studies were conducted in the 1930's and 1940's [16-27]. More than 90% of the studies concluded that supplementing children with vitamin D prevents cavities. Particularly impressive was a study published in 1941 demonstrated the preventative affect of "massive" doses of vitamin D [28]. And yet no subsequent studies in the scientific literature suggested a need to follow up and repeat this work."  Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, February 19, 2009

"Obtaining vitamins in sufficient doses to help prevent dental disease is safe and easily accomplished. Between 5,000 and 15,000 IU of vitamin D may be obtained from modest exposure to sunshine in the middle of the day. Recommending that people regularly use the capacity of their skin to make vitamin D is common sense. Certainly 1,000 to 2,000 IU per day of vitamin D in supplemental form is safe. 2,000 milligrams per day of vitamin C, and hundreds of milligrams per day of niacin, help prevent tooth and mouth troubles. Sick individuals, and those who are prone to cavities, will typically benefit by starting with higher doses of vitamin D, vitamin C, and niacin under the supervision of an orthomolecular physician." Orthomolecular Medicine News Service, February 19, 2009

"How can exercise and fish oil be more effective for depression than anti-depressant drugs? Could it be because they are both potent anti-inflammatories? Could it be that depression is a low-grade inflammatory condition of the brain." Doctor Mark Hyman MD

"Everyone is searching for the one thing that causes diseases like Alzheimer's. But there is no one thing." Doctor Mark Hyman MD

"The gut has to be in balance for the brain to be in balance. The brain experiences everything that happens in your gut directly through nervous system feedback, immune activity, cytokines and other assorted mischievous molecules made in your gut." Doctor Mark Hyman

"Vinpocetine helps support cerebral glucose metabolism by enhancing glucose supply to brain tissue." Vas et al

"It is now apparent that many traditional spices in addition to adding interest to our food can provide vital anti-inflammatory and antioxidant function that is having an impact on how we think about chronic illness and aging." Aggarwal et al

"Far from being an "inevitable" consequence of aging, we now understand that cognitive decline and memory deficits are the predictable results of a lifetime of oxidative and inflammatory injury that damages brain cells' ability to communicate with each other." Life Extension

"Research findings show that omega-3 fats in your diet may protect your brain cells. It works by preventing the misfolding of a protein resulting from a gene mutation in neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Huntington's." Science Daily April 20, 2009

"When researchers analyzed fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant capability, blueberries came out on top, rating highest in their capacity to destroy free radicals (Wu X et al 2004). In 2005, scientists discovered mechanisms to explain how blueberries can improve memory and restore healthy neuronal function to aged brains. The astounding conclusion of researchers was that the favorable effects of blueberries on brain function are analogous to those seen with long-term calorie restriction."  Joseph JA et al 1999; Lau FC et al 2005

"We are specifically suspicious of air particle matter, nanoparticles in air pollution that can cross directly into the brain and cause tumors."   Life Extension

"In numerous experimental models supplementation with magnesium-L-threonate has been shown to enhance memory and cognitive performance in multiple testes."   Life Extension, Note just plain bioavailable magnesium such as a citrate should also work in larger amounts
