Very informative about the synergy between B vitamins and omega 3 oils. I think this talk is a must for anyone serious about their health.

Should we not consider the prevalence of proton pump inhibitor prescriptions and the use of over-the-counter antacids in malabsorption of B vitamins? Binding of vitamin B12 by human gastric juice increases with higher PH levels. We should also be concentrating on fasting insulin levels and NOT HBA1C, by the time HBA1C is out of whack decades of vascular damage has already occurred.

Outstanding work! As a geriatric psychiatrist and neuroscience researcher, I can strongly endorse everything Dr. Holford said. Dementia is preventable and even partially reversible, but conventional medicine has it all wrong.

Finally, something about Alzheimer’s prevention and treatment that makes sense! Very encouraging ~

The big thing that has increased is ultra processed food and glucose fructose in everything. This is toxic to the brain and also causing non alcoholic fatty liver.
disease.
Research in Europe is emerging that is pointing in this direction.
It is not all about Vit B… but taking that helps.
All of this ‘non food’ in our food chain is taking its toll.

Thank you for your valuable work. I have worked with a number of people who suffered with various types of cognitive impairments. It’s so distressing to witness the cognitive decline of so many people.

My HCy test earlier this year was at 13.1 so I just ordered some B6/B12/folate supplements.

This is wonderful
I am signing up
My mother died of dementia and it’s so reliving to know I can do something to protect myself

Sounds great and all new INFO (B vitamins + OMGA3 fats) I'll be sure to implement ...

[janetw]

The answer is Statins, driving up dementia and alzheimers

[ekondigg]

So for a reasonable dosage, do I understand that for B complex, it's the following?
Folate 800μg

B12 500μg
B6 20 mg
B2 10 mg
By the way, intake of omega 3 with high quantities of omega 6 (typically with vegetable oil consumption) will be poor because any omega 3 intake will be swamped by all the omega 6 since the body does not distinguish between the two when it comes to absorption.

How did tribes living in deserts, far away from any sources of sea food survive? Always wondered... Sea food and fish are now loaded with mercury and plastics, is it still ok to consume big quantities as you seem to advise?

[chrishooper]

What if you don't live near the sea? Countries that are land bound? River fish I guess but do they have these nutrients?

[archangelvi]

I have been on a PPI for 20 years and have low b12 despite taking a supplement but its at the bottom of the recommended range. My intrinsic factor test was less than 1. GP will not do any further investigations. My MCV & MCH have always been out of range above the top limit for the last 15 years but again GP said its fine, not sure where to go from here. Also which is a more important test B12 or B12 Active?

[chrishooper]

Over fishing....and chemicals in fish now???? Any way of getting similar amounts without eating fish? Flaxseed maybe?

The chart at 15:20 does not make sense to me. If you add the five categories up it comes to 131%

Disturbingly, I have tried to point people in the direction of this video on other comments on YouTube, it won’t allow a direct link, but even posting the title of the video so they can search gets it deleted.

Everytime I hear about Alzheimer I get very mad. They talk about Omega 3, but they never think about the people who have sea food intolerance. Now what can we do or take to mitigate the loss of Omega 3 and so on. Nowbody ever talks about it 😢
