B Vitamins Can Reduce Brain Shrinkage and , (MCI)-mild cognitive impairment!

High daily doses of B-6, B-12 and foliSlow Dementia in Cases of Mild Cognitive Impairmentc acid can cut the rate of brain shrinkage in half in older people with cognitive decline, according to a newly released two-year clinical trial done by scientists at Oxford University. Vitamin B supplementation could also slow down the progression toward dementia in folks with mild cognitive impairment, (MCI) the researchers found.¹

This makes perfect sense because these B vitamins are co-factors for the enzymes involved in the metabolism of homocysteine. Homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood, and is a major risk factor for brain atrophy, cognitive impairment, dementia and coronary artery disease. Ultimately plasma concentrations of homocysteine are determined by your vitamin B status.²

In an interview with Reuters News, the scientists from Oxford University said their recent two-year clinical trial was the largest to date into the effect of B vitamins on MCI.⁴

What is Mild Cognitive Impairment?

Mild cognitive impairment is defined as cognitive decline greater than expected for an individual's age and education level. MCI affects between 3% to 19% adults older than 65 years, and manifests as slight problems with memory loss, language, arithmetic, and other mental functions. MCI is defined as not interfering with normal daily life, but if you can't remember where you parked your car, or how to figure out a tip on a restaurant bill, then it definitely is going to impact your life somewhat.

Some people with mild cognitive impairment seem to remain stable or return to normal over time, but more than half develop dementia—usually of the Alzheimer's type—within 5 years.⁵  And contrary to the misconception that Alzheimer's is just severe memory loss, it is in fact a terminal disease.

The Oxford Study

This two-year study included 168 volunteers with MCI who were given either a placebo or a daily nutritional supplement containing very high doses of folic acid (0.8mg), vitamin B6 (20mg) and vitamin B12 (0.5mg), or a placebo.¹

Brain scans with an MRI were taken at the beginning and end of the trial to measure the rate of brain atrophy. The results, published in the Public Library of Science (PLoS) One journal, showed that on average the brains of those taking the vitamin treatment shrank at a rate of 0.76 percent a year, while those taking the placebo had average brain shrinkage of 1.08 percent.¹

People who had the highest levels of homocysteine at the start of the trial benefited the most from OUR OWN TRIB100 is the perfect proprietary supplement for the abovethe treatment, with their brains shrinking at half the rate of those on the placebo.⁴

It's important to note that the vitamins given during the trial were given in extremely high doses. The pills contained approximately 300 times the recommended daily intake of B12, four times daily advised folate levels and 15 times the recommended amount of B6.

Although the trial was not designed to measure cognitive ability, the researchers found those people who had lowest rates of shrinkage had the highest scores in mental tests.⁴

This study is significant and lends hope for the millions of people around the world who are at risk for developing mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.   I recommend our own TriB100 right here! FREE Shipping!

This week's timely topic which you should feel free to share with your family and friends came up because of your questions.  Also REMEMBER: Angel will be doing reflexology on Saturday October 15th and there are a couple time slots left but hurry!!!!

Information on the influenza virus:

? Millions of individuals develop the flu each year and only experience mild
Symptoms.

? There is a two day incubation period before symptoms of fever, cough, chills,
sore throat, body aches, fatigue or headaches appear.

? Influenza virus spreads through coughing and sneezing, direct contact with
contaminated surfaces and objects or unwashed hands.

? Flu symptoms usually subside after two to three days and disappear within a
week.

? Once an individual has had the flu, their body will have produced antibodies that
protect them from the same strain of virus for a prolonged period of time.

? Complications from influenza infection are very rare and may occur in individuals
with an underlying medical condition, those greater than 65 years of age, and
young children that have a predisposition to respiratory infections. Pneumonia is
the primary complication of influenza and can result in hospitalization or death in
those that are at extremely high risk for complications.
Information on the ‘flu’ vaccination

? The ‘flu' vaccination, more correctly termed the influenza vaccination, is a vaccine
against specific strains of the influenza virus.

? There are over 500 different viruses that can cause flu like symptoms. The
vaccine is formulated from the three most common strains seen in the previous
year. The vaccine is a best guess as to what virus will be most prevalent this year.

? The influenza virus is constantly changing. A flu vaccine is only effective against
the same strain of influenza virus used to develop the vaccine.

? It takes about two weeks after the flu shot to develop sufficiently high levels of
antibodies to protect you from the influenza virus. These antibodies start to lose
their effectiveness within a few months.

? According to Health Department , the influenza vaccination is recommended for
individuals at high risk for developing serious complications if they were to
contract the influenza virus.

? High risk groups include all people aged 65 years or older, people with serious
long-term health problems, diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, immunosuppressive
disorders, children on long-term treatment with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA/
aspirin); as well as, health-care workers, residents / workers / volunteers of
nursing homes, chronic-care facilities and retirement homes and women who will
be more than 3 months pregnant during the influenza season.

? The research from Health Canada suggests that the flu vaccine that closely
matches the current seasonal influenza strains temporarily prevents the flu in
healthy persons less than 65 years old about 70% of the time.

? In individuals over 65 years of age the efficacy rate of the flu vaccine is reported
to be less than 30%.
?
75% of individuals have prolonged (up to 2 days) soreness at the site of the
injection.

? Children are at the greatest risk of side effects including: fever, body aches,
allergic reactions and potentially a severe paralytic illness.

? There is a rare risk of allergic reaction in individuals with an allergy to eggs.
Warning signs include: breathing difficulties, hoarseness, wheezing, hives,
paleness, pronounced weakness, rapid heartbeat, or dizziness.
Reported concerns and contraindications to the flu vaccine.

? According the manufacturer of the vaccines, the flu vaccination should NOT be
given to persons with an acute respiratory infection or with any other active
infection or serious febrile (fever) illness.

? Vaccination is also not recommended for individuals who develop anaphylactic
type reactions (hives, swelling of the mouth and throat, difficulty breathing,
hypotension and shock) when they eat eggs. Immunization should be avoided in
patients with an active neurological disorder until they are stabilized.

? The normal immune response following influenza vaccination may not develop
properly in individuals undergoing immunosuppressive therapy. This includes
those taking high doses of systemic steroids.

? Thimerosal, a mercury containing compound, is commonly used as a preservative
in flu vaccines. This is in the process of being taken out of vaccines in California.

? There is a mild risk of a paralytic disorder called Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

Points to consider before making a decision on flu prevention:

1. If you already have had the influenza virus this year, your body will have developed antibodies to the influenza virus. Antibodies, developed by the body, when one has actually have the flu are more robust than antibodies from the flu vaccine and will protect one for a longer time.

2. The selection of the influenza strains that make up the vaccine is a hypothesis or guess. There is no way of knowing what strains will be the most prevalent in any given season.

3. The flu vaccine only promotes temporary (about 2 months) immunity to the viral strains or closely related viral strains contained in the vaccine.

4. The only way to acquire natural and long term immunity to a strain of the influenza virus is to recover naturally from the flu.

5. The process that is used to destroy the viruses and create the vaccines often uses formaldehyde, heavy metals (mercury) and chemicals. There are concerns and need for more extensive research about the effect that these substances on the human body and the lack of long term safety associated with their use, especially with the potential for increased risks that yearly vaccinations might entail.

6. Vaccinations prevent the body from naturally responding to external pathogens like viruses and bacteria. Individuals, who regularly maintain a strong healthy immune system will protect themselves from any adverse effects of the flu, will build permanent immunity and will decrease the potential for developing unknown side effects from long term exposure to vaccinations.
The flu vaccination was developed by the allopathic (conventional) health care system to decrease the risk of contracting the influenza virus. However, the best way of preventing any flu or complications from any flu is through prevention. The main focus of prevention needs to be on daily healthy habits that ensure an optimum immune system and overall health. A strong immune system is the most effective prevention strategy against the flu or any other virus.

Do you have daily fear and anxiety?

Maybe it's a fear of:

    -a panic attack
    -never being free of general anxiety
    -a bodily sensation that worries you
    -a fear of losing control to anxiety

Whatever your particular fear is, I want to share some tips and
techniques with you over the coming days that will not only help
you end these fears but also reduce your general anxiety level
dramatically.

After many years of coaching people to be anxiety free, I have
noticed that those who experience panic attacks or general anxiety
almost always deal with the frequent occurrence of anxious thoughts.

Anxiety has a sneaky way of seeding doubt regardless of whether the
fear is rational or irrational.

So what can be done for people who suffer from repetitive anxious
thoughts?

To begin, lets look at how an anxious thought is powered and then I
will demonstrate how to quickly eliminate the intensity of the
thought.

Say for example you are going about your daily business when an
anxious thought enters your mind.

Whatever the nature of the thought, the pattern that follows is
usually quite predictable.

The anxious thought flashes briefly in your awareness and as it
does so you immediately react with fear as you contemplate the
thought. The fearful reaction you have to the thought then sends a
shock-wave through your nervous system. You feel the result of that
fear most intensely in your stomach (due to the amount of nerve
endings located there).

Because of the intense bodily reaction to the thought you then get
sucked into examining the anxious thought over and over.

The continuous fearful reaction you have to the thought, increases
the intensity of the experience. The more you react, the stronger
the thought rebounds again in your awareness creating more anxious
shock-waves throughout your body. This is the typical cycle of
anxious thoughts.

For some it feels like the anxious thoughts are hijacking their
peace of mind.

Because of the reaction you are having, you may continue to spend
the rest of your day thinking about the anxious thoughts you
experienced.

“Why am I thinking these thoughts?” “Why can't I shake off this
eerie feeling?”

The harder you try not to think about it, the more upset you
become. It is like telling someone

‘Whatever happens do not think of a pink elephant'.

Naturally enough it's all they can think about. That's the way our
brains our wired.

So how can you eliminate these unwanted anxious thoughts?

To begin with:

    -when you start to experience anxious thoughts, it is very
important not to force the thoughts away.

Let the thoughts in. The more comfortable you can become with them,
the better. These thoughts will never go away fully but what you
can learn is to change your reaction to them.

By changing your reaction to the anxious thoughts you become free
of them.

Once you establish a new way of reacting to the thoughts it does
not matter if you have them or not. Your reaction is what defines
the whole experience (and that applies to almost everything).

Everybody experiences fleeting thoughts that many would consider
scary or crazy. The difference between most people and somebody who
gets caught up in them, is that the average person sees them for
exactly what they are, fleeting anxious thoughts, and casually
ignores them.

The anxious person is at a disadvantage as they already have a
certain level of anxiety in their system. The thoughts easily spark
feelings of further anxiety which builds into a cycle of fear. You
break the cycle by changing how you react to the fearful thought.

Here is an example of how to approach this:

You are enjoying the way your day is going but then all of sudden a
fearful thought comes to mind.

Before you would react with anxiety to the idea and then try to
force that thought out of your mind.

This time, however, say:

“That's a fear of X. I could worry and even obsess over that but
this time I'm going to do something different. I'm not going to
react to it. I'm also not going to try and stop it either. I'm just
going to label the thought and not react.”

Then the thought comes again with more intensity and possibly with
new ‘scary' angles you never considered. When this happens you do
exactly the same. As if you were observing a cloud passing
overhead, you simply

    -Observe it,
    -Label it (fear of whatever), then
    -Watch it as it passes by with no judgment.

then

    -Move your attention on to what you were doing.

Observe, Label, Watch, Move on.

As an acupuncturist, I often work with emotional or stress related disharmonies.  Recently, a patient came in for a treatment who was extremely agitated and was afraid they would require high dosages of pharmaceutical drugs or even hospitalization.

Within minutes of placing the needles, the patient began sobbing and I was thrilled because I knew that this heralded a powerful emotional release, a rebalancing and harmonization.

My patients have found my acupuncture treatments extremely powerful in harmonizing emotional distress due to life circumstances, hormones, shifts or whatever.

If you are in need of a tune-up, please consider this modality next time you are not yourself.

Researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine have found that grape seed polyphenols—a natural antioxidant—may help prevent the development or delay the progression of Alzheimer's disease. The research, led by Giulio Maria Pasinetti, MD, PhD, The Saunder Family Professor in Neurology, and Professor of Psychiatry and Geriatrics and Adult Development at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, was published online in the current issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.

This is the first study to evaluate the ability of grape-derived polyphenols to prevent the generation of a specific form of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide, a substance in the brain long known to cause the neurotoxicity associated with Alzheimer disease. In partnership with a team at the University of Minnesota led by Karen Hsiao Ashe, MD, PhD, Dr. Pasinetti and his collaborators administered grape seed polyphenolic extracts to mice genetically determined to develop memory deficits and Aβ neurotoxins similar to those found in Alzheimer's disease. They found that the brain content of the Aβ*56, a specific form of Aβ previously implicated in the promotion of Alzheimer's disease memory loss, was substantially reduced after treatment.

Previous studies suggest that increased consumption of grape-derived polyphenols, whose content, for example, is very high in red wine, may protect against cognitive decline in Alzheimer's. This new finding, showing a selective decrease in the neurotoxin Aβ*56 following grape-derived polyphenols treatment, corroborates those theories.

"Since naturally occurring polyphenols are also generally commercially available as nutritional supplements and have negligible adverse events even after prolonged periods of treatment, this new finding holds significant promise as a preventive method or treatment, and is being tested in translational studies in Alzheimer's disease patients," said Dr. Pasinetti.

The study authors emphasize that in order for grape-derived polyphenols to be effective, scientists need to identify a biomarker of disease that would pinpoint who is at high risk to develop Alzheimer's disease.

"It will be critical to identify subjects who are at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, so that we can initiate treatments very early and possibly even in asymptomatic patients," said Dr. Pasinetti. "However, for Alzheimer's disease patients who have already progressed into the initial stages of the disease, early intervention with this treatment might be beneficial as well. Our study implicating that these neurotoxins such as Aβ*56 in the brain are targeted by grape-derived polyphenols holds significant promise."

Did you know that Testosterone begins declining in men as
early as the mid-30's and can result in an increased risk
of diabetes, heart disease and obesity?

I was shocked when I read this!

This condition is called Andropause.

Symptoms of low testosterone levels include anxiety,
reduced libido, loss of lean muscle mass and low stamina,
as well as depression.

Do you suffer from any of these symptoms, or do you
know any men with these issues?

The medical community has been very slow to recognize
how serious this problem is and it is likely that
your doctor has never discussed it with you before.

There is however, good news.

It is possible to increase your testosterone levels
with testosterone creams and injections. Unfortunately, these
methods can be very expensive and also come with increased
risks for prostate cancer, so your blood must be checked
on a regular basis to monitor for any possible negative
effects.

Here is REALLY GOOD NEWS!

We can help you naturally increase your bodies
levels of testosterone to levels that were previously
only possible with expensive and potentially dangerous
testosterone injections and with none of the side effects!
 

Here are the benefits that the subjects in our tests have
reported and you may receive as well!

1. Increased energy and stamina
2. Increase in Libido.
3. Ability to lift more weight during workouts.
4. Faster recovery from workouts with no sore joints
4. Increase in lean muscle mass.
5. Increase in testosterone levels in 21 days
6. Fat loss especially around the stomach area
