(If the mere thought of this freaks you out, or you\u2019re in a hurry skip down to <em><strong>What\u2019s a Body to do<\/strong><\/em>?)\u00a0 In high traffic areas there is benzene and other hydrocarbons in the air, bacteria, chlorine, fluoride, and maybe even medication residue in the water, bisphenol in the plastic we drink from, toxic fire retardants in our furniture, aluminum in antiperspirants, lead in old paint, mercury in the amalgams in our mouth, and other toxins in our dry cleaning, upholstery, perfumes, cosmetics, botox, scented air fresheners, shampoos, hair dyes, paint thinners, bug sprays, as well as mycotoxins from fungi in water damaged walls, and some food products, not to mention various preservatives, excess gluten, artificial coloring, and flavoring like artificial sweeteners, MSG, nitrites, hydrogenated oils, GMO\u2019s, and other toxins in our food.\u00a0 Even vaccines and over many medications contain chemistry that can overburden our immune system and adversely impact the brain.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line we live in a toxic world.\u00a0 It almost makes me sick just listing these, and that list is by no means complete. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brainprotips.com\/neurotoxin-list\/\">Click here or a more detailed listing<\/a>)\u00a0 No wonder so many seniors experience toxic overload that adversely affects their immune system, liver, kidney\u2019s, nervous system, and eventually their brain. \u00a0And a greater number of children, even infants are now being born with toxic overload from the get-go, making them more susceptible to hyperactivity, attention deficit disorders and even autism and atherosclerosis.<\/p>\n<p>Some years ago a chemical that causes neurological damage called methylisothiazoline (MIT) was found in 4 leading brands of shampoo.\u00a0 Head and Shoulders, Suave, Clairol and Pantene Hair Conditioner all contain this ingredient. Researchers believe exposure to this chemical may be a factor in the development of Alzheimer&#8217;s disease and other nervous system disorders.\u00a0 But when used by pregnant women it could also put their fetus at risk for abnormal brain development. \u00a0In fact one 2005 study of cord blood from newborns found almost 300 environmental compounds that could adversely affect a newborn including mercury and DDT.<\/p>\n<p>What is so amazing is the fact that our bodies are usually able to deal with all of these, with minimal signs of damage\u2026, at least it may not be apparent until we are older and our immune system and organs begin to struggle under this toxic burden, giving rise to a condition called \u201ctoxicant-induced loss of tolerance\u201d or simply \u201cchemical intolerance.\u201d \u00a0This is when the immune system becomes so overwhelmed that it throws up it\u2019s arms (antibodies), and goes wacko, giving rise to a variety of autoimmune over-reactive disorders.\u00a0 In worse case scenarios such people can hardly function in our toxic world (even the smell of another\u2019s perfume or laundry can make them ill), without a mask or respirator, or they develop disorders like Parkinson\u2019s or Alzheimer\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms of loss of chemical tolerance<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intolerance to smells<\/li>\n<li>Intolerance to jewelry<\/li>\n<li>Intolerance to shampoo, lotions, detergents, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Multiple food sensitivities<\/li>\n<li>Constant skin outbreaks<\/li>\n<li>Feeling bloated<\/li>\n<li>Weight gain<\/li>\n<li>Poor bowel function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>So what\u2019s a body to do?<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Fortunately, while I was researching this topic for a new assessment tool, I was given a book by Doctor Datis Kharrazian, clinical professor of Neuro Science at Loma Linda School of Medicine, considered to be one of the top experts in the US in this field. His book is called, <em>Why Isn\u2019t My Brain Working?<\/em>\u00a0 A great book for clinicians who work with various brain disorders. \u00a0He provides some encouraging insights.<\/p>\n<p>He notes that we should try to avoid these if we can.\u00a0 And we could go live in a tent in the forest. We could exercise long and hard in the sun or sit in a sauna to try to sweat these out. And there is chelation therapy where a substance is injected into ones veins which essentially grabs onto metals and other toxins to pull them out of our tissues. \u00a0And we can have our amalgam fillings replaced. But all of these come with their own challenges and risks.<\/p>\n<p>He cautions someone with an over-reactive immune system could actually get worse with chelation, \u00a0for example, as these toxins are pulled from tissues (usually fatty tissues) and dumped into the blood stream where they could circulate to the brain. If one\u2019s blood brain barrier has been compromised, or their immune system over-reacts this could compound the problem, causing conditions to go from bad to worse. \u00a0So he offers a much simpler solution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He notes, \u201c<\/strong>One of <strong>the most vital approaches to improve chemical tolerance is to support glutathione levels<\/strong> and your glutathione recycling system. Glutathione is the body&#8217;s most powerful antioxidant and is integral to a healthy defense system. Ideally, the body maintains sufficient glutathione levels. However, extreme or chronic stress depletes it. These stressors can include poor diets, diets lacking in sulfur, relent\u00adless traffic, smoking or second-hand smoke, over exercising, alcohol consumption&#8230;in other words, normal daily life for many people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(Foods containing sulfur include: broccoli, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, bok choy, mustard greens, turnips, asparagus, watercress, eggs, garlic, beans, onions, fish, fowl, nuts, coconut milk, dried fruit.)<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Overcoming Oxidation &amp; Free Radicals<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>All of these stressors and toxins can cause oxidation or the release of damaging free radicals in the body. And glutathione, is what our body produces to neutralize or mop these up. One molecule of glutathione can quench millions of free radicals, to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. And unlike most other antioxidants like vitamin C, it can be recycled and replenished, and go on to quench millions more. In fact Kharrazin notes, \u201c\u2026 it is difficult to develop chemical intolerance or autoimmunity if the glutathione system is robust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen there is enough of the proper form of glutathione in the body to &#8220;take the bullet,&#8221; no free radical response occurs. But when\u2026 the body is low in glutathione, an environmental compound such as plastics, pesticides, perfumes, or gasoline fumes is more likely to cause an immune reaction [and chronic inflammation].\u201d (p. 421)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudies have also shown that efficient glutathione recycling helps boost regulatory T-cells, which promote immune balance and helps prevent immune system hyperactivity. Proper glutathione activity also\u2026 helps tissues recover from damage.\u201d (p. 422)<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s a body to do? Avoid these stressors and toxins when we can, stay physically active, and get a good night\u2019s sleep (as toxins are removed from the brain during sleep), but most importantly we need to keep our glutathione levels robust and replenished. For this the following supplements are recommended (it\u2019s hard to get these in sufficient quantities from food alone to provide a therapeutic effect):<\/p>\n<p>N-acetylcysteine (NAC) \u2013 a key protein required for glutathione production.<br \/>\nCurcumin \u2013 from the spice turmeric aids in the synthesis of glutathione, and is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory agents that we know of.<br \/>\nAlpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) \u2013 recycles \u00a0and extends the metabolic life span of glutathione as well as other important antioxidants like Vitamins C &amp; E.<br \/>\nMilk thistle (Silymarin) \u2013 shown to help increase milk thistle as well as other endogenous antioxidants.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally Dr. Kharrazian talks about the importance of a beneficial form of nitric oxide (eNOS) which helps repair the immune barriers, dampen inflammation and improve circulation. He notes: \u201cBursts of high-intensity aerobic exercise activate eNOS, as do a variety of nutritional and botanical compounds,\u201d including alpha GPC choline, acetyl-L-carnitine, vinpocetin, and huperzine A. Additionally, he encourages his patients to \u201cget their heart rate up within the first hour of waking, even if it\u2019s only for one to five minutes.\u201d He notes that doing this \u201cwill jump start eNOS for the day and help dampen inflammation, improve blood flow, and repair the immune barriers, all of which help to restore chemical tolerance and dampen autoimmunity.\u201d(p. 427)<\/p>\n<p>Later he notes that high levels of resveratrol, and curcumin also help to dampen inflammatory pathways, which are especially important if someone has liver damage.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>A Great New Brain Formula With Multiple Benefits<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Last <a href=\"http:\/\/4abettermemory.com\/memory\/perhaps-the-best-formula-for-improving-memory\/\">June I wrote you about<\/a> the impending advent of a great new formula and for improving memory called Memoryze\u2122. In that newsletter I noted a dozen different ways in which the 12 active ingredients in this new drink mix \u201cfacilitate optimal cognitive function.\u201d These include: supporting microvascular health, blood and oxygen flow to the brain; increasing energy production in the brain; and improving both the production and transmission of the molecules needed to make memories. However, that is not all. This formula also contain six of the nutrients, which Kharrazian notes are important if not critical to protect the brain against toxins \u2013 both foreign and endogenous.<\/p>\n<p>These nutrients include NAC, the basic protein from which glutathione is made, Vitamins C &amp; E which replenish glutathione, GPC choline, acetyl-L-carnitine, resveratrol and curcumin, all of which work synergistically to reduce damage and inflammation and protect and strengthen the cells of the brain, in addition to improving their function. There are more than 100 studies that support the value of these various nutrients in promoting brain health and memory.<\/p>\n<p>There may be other formulations that are nearly as effective in stimulating the brain, but to my knowledge there no other formulations as effective for curbing age related, or toxin induced, cognitive decline while at the same time improving both memory and mood. For a decent review of the ingredients and related research <a href=\"http:\/\/4abettermemory.com\/memory\/perhaps-the-best-formula-for-improving-memory\/\">go here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After more than a year of waiting and negotiating, this formula, with a healthy new taste, will finally become available on Wednesday February 28<sup>th<\/sup>.\u00a0 Normally it will retail for $69. I hope to be able to provide it for my clients and friends like you for $49. But if you would like to try a 1-3 month supply now I have worked out a special introductory price so you can obtain it, along with a free self-administered memory test, for the next 3 weeks for only $39 plus $6.50 priority shipping.<\/p>\n<p>It takes time to stop decline and reverse memory loss, and this is not miracle grow. While younger healthy individuals may see improvements within a few weeks. For those over 60 with some memory loss it may take a few months. But past research suggests most, even with significant memory loss, will see measurable progress within 4 months (see examples below).<\/p>\n<p>Nutritional deficits and exposure to neuro toxins are believed to be the most common causes of cognitive decline as we age. Memoryze\u2122 addresses both of these, like no other formula available.
