Welcome to my blog. I’ll be posting blurbs once or twice a
week similar to what I was publishing in my monthly Teplitz Report.
For years, I’ve been writing about the benefits of exercise,
nutrition, relationships, sleep and mental activities including meditation to
keep us healthier, living longer, being more productive and having enjoyable
lives. It’s been fun for me to see the medical profession as its been catching
up with what I’ve been recommending.
The latest “catch-up” is Alzheimer’s disease. In the December
2018 issue of Discover Magazine, the featured article was reporting on
researchers using lifestyle changes to fight Alzheimer’s. What are the
lifestyle changes that they are recommending? How about reducing chronic
stress, getting more exercise and restorative sleep, eliminating toxins from
molds, eliminating fast foods that are fat-laden and reducing sugar.
By using Big Data, the researchers are now able to validate
how powerful these lifestyle changes can be. Years ago, I wrote how beta
amyloids might not be the key to solving Alzheimer’s disease, which is what
recent research is now confirming. As a matter of fact, 99% of the drugs
targeting the reduction of amyloids have failed to stop Alzheimer’s even if
they reduced the amount of amyloids in the brain
.
There is an approach called The Bredesen Protocol that is a
comprehensive personalized program aimed to reverse Alzheimer’s by doing a lot
of testing which includes blood tests, genetic evaluations, cognitive
assessments and an MRI. All this is crunched in a computer which comes up with
a plan to reverse inflammation, insulin resistance and the destruction of vital
brain functions. The recommendations are where healthy living is recommended
rather than drugs. The results border on miraculous!
So…having the medical profession catching up to my
recommendations is a very rewarding feeling. I’m looking forward to other
catch-ups happening.
