Although doctors state that no one knows what causes dementia, it is known that when an area of the brain lacks nourishment (oxygen, “fuel”, etc.) and inflammation or other damage has occurred to disrupt appropriate blood and lymphatic flow the result can be brain cell death. What we do know about this is that much chronic inflammation can be controlled via appropriate body cleansing, via choosing the right diet that affects blood flow and nutrition to the brain, and via supplementation with specific nutrients to enhance calming the inflammatory response.
We also know that environmental factors play a huge role in both the development of dementia and its progress. The build-up of chemicals, toxins, and heavy metals in the brain are among the main instigators.
One can innocently use over the counter medications, such as those to combat hay fever or to help you sleep, and immensely increase one’s propensity to acquire Alzheimer’s Disease.
You may want to read articles by Dr. Joseph Mercola (dr.mercola.com) on these “innocent” drugs, on flu vaccines, and on programs that can help you prevent the onset of dementia. Note that flu vaccines, highly recommended medically, contain aluminum and mercury which are powerful neurotoxins. Protecting oneself from dementia requires being informed and building a strong immune system naturally.
