A Pill To Enhance Memory Brought To You By Jellyfish

There’s now a pill made from a substance in Jellyfish that is improving memory. The substance is called apoaequorin and it is found in only one species of Jellyfish. It works differently in the brain from other memory enhancers.

While it seems to actually reverse some of the effects of aging on the brain, it also seems to help alleviate the effects of serious neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).

Three researchers received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work with apoaequorin to track calcium activity in the body’s cells. This initial work has been taken further and it’s been found that apoaequorin also has a powerful protective effect on brain cells.

One study with 56 people from 20 to 78 showed significant improvements in memory after taking 10 mg of Prevagen (the brand name) daily for 30 days. Fifty percent reported gains in general memory and information retention. One-third did better in recall and a whopping 84% showed improvement in their ability to remember driving directions (wives love this impact on their husbands!).

Other benefits that have been reported include users feeling mentally sharper, having more mental energy and even sleeping more soundly.

If you don’t notice improvements in four weeks, you might need to increase your dosage to 20 mg daily. Also, since Jellyfish are a different species, people with fish or shellfish can use it. So…thank you Jellyfish for have a beneficial use besides stinging people!

Slowing Parkinson's Disease With CoQ10


Dr. Flint Beal from Cornell University reported on a sixteen-month trial that had patients taking 300 to 600 mg per day of CoQ10. This resulted in a 25% decrease in the rate of disease progression while those patients given 1,200 mg per day experienced a 44% decrease. Even the highest amounts were well tolerated, and studies are currently evaluating the effect of higher doses.

So... if someone you know has Parkinson, they can take at least 1,200 mg of CoQ10 every day.

POWER OF VITAMIN E

I'm talking about Vitamin E.  In recent years, there have been a number of reports on the power of Vitamin E. 

1.  Diabetes - A study of people taking 800 IU's of E per day had a significant drop in blood sugar levels.
2.  Colon cancer - Those with the highest intake of E had almost a 75% lower risk of having the precursors of colon cancer.
3.  Parkinson's Disease - A study in the Netherlands reported that high levels of E were linked to a low incidence of Parksinson's in the 5,300 people in the study.
4.  Alzheimer's - Scientists at Columbia University gave mid-stage Alzheimer's patients 2,000 IU's of E.  The vitamins seemed to slow deterioration by 25% in the ability to do everyday tasks.
5.  Age-related immune system increase - A study was done to see if E could improve the immunity of people over 65.  The results of 200 mg per day was a 65% increase in immune response and a 600% increase against Hepatitis B.

So, how much should you take?  I'd recommend 400-800 IU's per day.  When you buy Vitamin E, you have to read the small print to determine if it's natural (which is what you want) vs. synthetic.  If it says d-alpha, it's natural.
If it says dl-alpha, it's synthetic.  The product with the letter "l" is what you want to avoid.

Helping To Alleviate The Symptoms Of Parkinson’s Disease

Dr Julian Whitaker in his September newsletter talked about the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to reduce the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, with  “astounding” results in some cases.

In HBOT a person is placed in a pressure chamber similar to the ones scuba divers use to decompress from the bends. HBOT floods the body with oxygen and stimulates the growth of new blood vessels that nourish the brain. It also promotes the regeneration of neurons while it slows the death of neurons in the region of the brain that Parkinson’s affects.

Dr. Whitaker reported that HBOT improved symptoms such as rigidity, posture, gait, tremors, speech and facial expressions, as well as the ability to carry out the activities of daily living. Dr. Whitaker also uses intravenous gluthathione in conjunction HBOT.

So…if you know someone with Parkinson’s, see if you can get them to a HBOT chamber. You can do a Google search to find out if there’s a chamber near you.

New Hope for Parkinson’s – Stem Cells Reverse Parkinson’s in Rats

A study by Steven Goldman, which was detailed in the journal Nature Medicine, reported that injecting neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells into rats suffering from Parkinson’s-like symptoms allowed the animals to regain movement.

Up to 80% of the stem cells began functioning like dopamine-producing neurons. While benign tumors formed around the injection site, Goldman thinks it was caused by neural cells that did not transform into neurons.

He is aiming to eliminate this reaction by injecting only neural cells that will become neurons.
