Let’s talk about dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. A lot of Alzheimer’s disease research is focused on getting rid of amyloid plaquing. But we may have been looking at this the wrong way.

New research suggests that this plaquing is actually a very important antimicrobial peptide.

The immune system has two parts:
1. The innate immune system that you’re born with.
2. The acquired immune system that you develop over time.

But, the brain only has the innate immune system, and they found that the plaquing is an innate immune system reaction to a microbe. This reaction leads to neuroinflammation and collateral damage. This infection is typically subclinical and develops over time.

Key pathogens associated with Alzheimer’s disease:
• Herpes simplex
• Spirochetes
• Chlamydophila pneumonia

Some people may also have a gene susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease. If someone has this gene, they may also be more susceptible to allowing the herpes virus to cross the blood-brain barrier.

Potential factors involved in Alzheimer’s disease prevention:
1. Supporting the immune system
2. Supporting the gut microbiome
3. Supporting healthy blood sugar levels
4. Consuming a keto diet
5. Avoiding alcohol and smoking
6. Exercising
7. Consuming foods with antioxidants
8. Keeping stress low
9. Getting plenty of sleep
10. Avoiding harmful chemicals
11. Fasting (OMAD)

My mother started to show signs of confusion when she was in her early 90s. I asked my brother what medication she was taking and he told me that she was on a statin. I told him that they have been implicated in dementia with some people and asked that he stop giving her the statins. he discussed it with her doctor and they were stopped. Within two weeks she was back to normal and she lived for three more years without any dementia.

I lost my mother to Alzheimer’s. She was diagnosed at the age of 60, but the symptoms (hallucinations, leaving the house) actually started a few years earlier when she was 58-59. She had Alzheimer’s for 17 years. I took care of her 14 years out of 17 years until she passed. I saw all stages of the disease through stage 7e. I feel like I’ve seen all from where she started leaving the house (thank you to those police officers who kindly brought my mom back home:), calling me auntie, lol, eating/playing with her poops (there are anti-disrobe onesies that you can buy for that in case anyone here is experiencing the similar issues) to where she’s unable to sit up swallow food. I guess I should get tested to see if I have the APOE4 gene. I’ve been eating healthy, exercising regularly, and trying not to get stressed out too much!! I learned it’s important to live everyday of my life to the fullest not get stressed out by watching my mother’s life. You won’t know what’s gonna happen tomorrow. I really miss my mom!! ❤️ Happy weekend to everyone!!

When my Mom was 80, she had heart surgery for calcification of her arteries, and she required a stent. During surgery, calcified particles were dislodged, she suffered a stroke. She lost her memory and couldn't talk nor walk. I cared for her and put her on a ketogenic diet with one meal a day, and I began to witness vast improvements almost instantly. After one month, during a neurological visit, she was tested for cognitive and physical functions and passed her test with a perfect score. Her neurologist was startled and turned to me and said, "whatever you're doing, keep doing it... I've never seen such a miraculous recovery! She'll be driving soon!" My mother and I walked out of his office so thrilled! I said to myself, thank you God and thank you Dr. Berg!

4 years ago I started the healthy Keto with two meals 18-20 hours between meals. Since then 1) Arthritis is gone, pre diabetes gone, Alergies gone. Stress way down. Brain fog gone . I lost over 20 lbs. In order to lose more weight and bring my BP down I decided to go to one meal a day. I'm transitioning now slowly. It's funny that 4 years ago the neurologist thought it was the insomnia causing my early Alzheimers . I'm ahead of you Dr in going to one meal a day! BTW I work in a hospital close to patients, I only get sick once every two years now!

So much suffering, not only for the patient but the families .
Thanks for keeping us informed .

My grandpa died at 89, not knowing any of us, or where he was. Terrible situation. Healthy brain equals happy life!

I inherited 2 APOE4 genes: one gene from each parent. I am currently caring for my 78 yr old mother with late stage Dementia and my father was just diagnosed with stage 4 Prostate/Bone cancer.

At 52, I can already feel the stress of this role taking a toll, especially being their 24/7 caregiver right now. I am pretty confident I will not be able to do this for much longer without sacrificing my own mental and physical health in the process. It's exhausting..That said, it's very disheartening and I feel guilty that I feel this way and are constantly thinking about my own future and the impact this caregiving will have on me and my family as well.

Glad to have found this video with this etailed information. I know I must make some changes that will help me now and later. God Bless all the caretakers out there, but make sure to put your own health in the spotlight as well as we often put ourselves dead last.

I’m currently caregiving my bonus-mom. She was in a memory care unit for 18 months before she fell and broke her hip. She’s been home and bed bound since July. So sad. Her whole life was helping ppl, especially elder care. She gave speeches all over the US at medical conferences. So 😢

Lost my wife’s mum to Alzheimer’s and my mother has dementia and is a nursing home sadly. Both were, are Christians and I know I will see them again in heaven one day. Cruel disease but part of our fallen nature in this fallen world. Christ in us the hope of glory🙏🏻

The newest discovery that interested me as a dentist is an established link between chronic gingivitis/periodontal disease and Alzheimer disease. The amyloid plaque is the self inflicted "scar" as an immune response to the attack from Porphoromonas gingivalis ( PV)directly or indirectly by its released toxins in the brain. It has been demonstrated that PV can infect directly or indirectly the brain trough the mandibular nerve pathway of the trigeminal nerve. It is still an ongoing research but so far the results are interesting.

It is not easy to watch your loved one go through this horrible disease. It is just the worst.
May the rest of us learn something from this video and start implementing them to prolong or eliminate the possibility.
Thank you Dr. Berg for this video.

My partner has early onset, 10 years in now, started at 52. There are no words to describe watching her disappear, it's now like having a 2 year old child. Her rate of decline was so rapid, she was invited to be a test subject at Great Ormond Street hospital, London, UK. After her week there, as a pin cushion and blood donor, the neurologist stated he had never seen such a rate of decline in all his years. Within 6 months of diagnosis, she was wondering why I was in the home we shared for 20 years, within 3 years, she couldn't speak, and four, wheelchair and being spoon fed. Imagine my horror and disbelief to learn that here in the UK, the Alzheimers society basically admitted that the last 30years of research had been a pretty much useless as they were approaching it from one angle, had made zero inroads to cause and effect & now they believe it could be two different causes. My point being, no one knows for sure anything about how to cure it once it starts, or how it starts, & all the videos of 'reverse this, stop, this, ' on Alzheimers is baffling. If all these experts on this topic as so assured as to be posting 'how to reverse, how to stop, how to... vids, just look at how many vids are posted with that exact tagline, why aren't they advising the scientists directly with there incredible understanding and knowledge of prevention and cure? What's of greater concern, or should be, is the amount of the population it now effects and also the ages of newly diagnosed cases, younger and younger. My own personal thoughts on the state of so many illnesses, based on nothing other than the over riding feeling that the only thing that connects us all, is diet. The amount of utter rubbish and chemicals the food companies put in food, to get it to the table quicker cheaper, and to make it fatter cheaper, with steroids, - have you noticed how children are now getting much taller younger, generally always taller than their parents? Food. Yes, I am frustrated by it all, it doesn't only steal the life from the sufferer, the fulltime carer/partner suffers too...

the consumption/absorption of ALUMINUM from chemtrails, vaccines, cookware, and canned foods is contributing as well.

My mother is 68 and was diagnosed with early onset dementia and beginning stages of Alzheimer’s three years ago.. it is mind blowing how this disease works.. I feel like traumatic events trigger a downfall in their symptoms dramatically.. my mother has never been the same after some events that occurred in her life. It’s so hard to change her diet, when my father refuses to understand the absolute necessity to do so .. very frustrating disease to have to live through.. it’s almost like I have already lost my mother in a sense..

[Armada]

My mom started repeating her self when she was 66 then she started cooking the same dinner every Sunday for her grandchildren... Today she's 74 and dosnt know who she is or even react to simple commands like sit down. It's been depressing watching this condition take her soul - such a beautiful soul.
I feel for all families that deal this devastating condition 😔 hopefully one day we'll know how to prevent it

Have you guys not figured it out yet?
The top answers to all that ails us is:
1. Intermittent fasting. Try doing a 48 to 72 hour fast once a month to trigger autophagy.
2. Being in a state of ketosis
3. Less that 50 carbs a day. Good carbs only such as veggies.
4. No sugar- refined or starchy. No donuts to fast foods. (I believe this to be the top solution). Sugar feeds cancer and cardiovascular issues. Plus, it triggers insulin.
5. Drink apple cider vinegar
6. Lower stress. Meditate, take vacations, be around people that make you feel good. Stay positive.
7. Become insulin sensitive and not insulin resistant.
8. Be proactive and not reactive with your health. Get blood work done, screen for various types of cancer...especially if it runs in your family.
9. Get off your feet and exercise. 10 to 15 min. home workouts will get you started.
10. Take up a hobby....try a book club or playing guitar. Your brain needs exercise as well.

I'm sure I'm missing a few items but you get the picture. Dr. Berg and Dr. Ekberg promote this lifestyle and it makes sense.
The toughest thing for people is changing their nutritional lifestyle. Junk food sure does taste good plus it's quick and convenient. Once you wrap your mind around that food can kill as well as heal, it will be life changing.

Early on I attended a couple autopsies as part of my Forensics classes. The Cranial Autopsy was specifically for the purpose to look at "amyloid plaquing" The deceased had passed with advanced Alzheimer's, and the family had requested this autopsy .. I remember the conversation about APOE4.. It's been a number of years since I took those classes, but have continued to follow some research on this. I believe your report here is correct.

When your mother says "who the hell are you?" it can be hurtful.

[sazennonumber]

Thank you. I recently listened to a doctor who said that fructose is a big contributor to Alzheimers. Makes sense. And everyone, please remember that stress is largely caused by other people, so let's try not to cause stress for others. ❤

[GSDsforever]

Having Lyme disease this is such important information. Already doing a low-carb diet and will transition into keto this spring. Giving up sugar is HUGE in healing and feeling better! Thank you so much for your wonderful videos.
