| What Medical Solutions are available? |
If a person is to recover their health in this modern age of over toxicity, pollution, and chaos; they absolutely must step outside of the predefined boundaries of the pharmaceutical driven, insurance-approved medical box they are sitting in.
The health care solutions that are available to the average person fall within the range of a society’s healthcare structure. If the society that a person lives in is modern and they are a first or second world nation, then the solutions available are defined by what their insurance company will both allow and approve. This is a tremendous restriction that serves to perpetuate the availability of non-solution, drug based band-aid.
That being said The current medical and non medical suggestions being offered by traditional medicine falls in the following five categories:
DIET:
Eat a diet low in cholesterol, saturated fat, sugar, and salt, and high in dietary fiber (such as oats and beans), fruits, vegetables, whole grains (such as whole wheat bread and pasta, and brown rice), other complex carbohydrates, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Put a major focus on antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, which contain Vitamin E and beta-carotene. Vitamin-E-rich foods are blueberries, cranberries, grapes, fresh apples (especially the skins, and red are better), papaya, green leafy vegetables, onions, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Beta-carotene-rich foods include dark orange, red, and dark green fruits and vegetables. Omega-3 fatty acid, beneficial fats found in salmon, lake trout, sardines, mackerel, albacore tuna, and herring, flax oil, and spinach, not only help the heart, but also seem to prevent the build-up of plaques in the brain.
EXCERCISE:
Since exercise promotes good blood flow to the brain and encourages growth of new brain cells, it probably lowers the risk of getting Alzheimer's disease and slows cognitive decline in people who already have Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's studies suggest that a variety of types of exercise is especially helpful to the brain. Thirty minutes of brisk walking on most days of the week should be sufficient to keep the heart and brain healthy. Besides walking, try workouts (strength training), get involved in a sport, join a hiking club, or go dancing.
Scientific evidence points to a relationship between the health of your brain and the health of your cardiovascular system. Until we know the exact cause or causes of Alzheimer’s, we can’t be sure that diet and exercise will help everyone to prevent or slow Alzheimer’s. Even so, there is a growing body of research that shows a connection between rates of dementia nd a lifestyle that includes a healthy diet and regular exercise.
PREVENTING STRESS:
Eat a diet low in cholesterol, saturated fat, sugar, and salt, and high in dietary fiber (such as oats and beans), fruits, vegetables, whole grains (such as whole wheat bread and pasta, and brown rice), other complex carbohydrates, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Put a major focus on antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, which contain Vitamin E and beta-carotene. Vitamin-E-rich foods are blueberries, cranberries, grapes, fresh apples (especially the skins, and red are better), papaya, green leafy vegetables, onions, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Beta-carotene-rich foods include dark orange, red, and dark green fruits and vegetables. Omega-3 fatty acid, beneficial fats found in salmon, lake trout, sardines, mackerel, albacore tuna, and herring, flax oil, and spinach, not only help the heart, but also seem to prevent the build-up of plaques in the brain.
SOCIAL ACTIVITY:
Active involvement with family and a wide network of friends is likely to lower your risk of dementia. Besides stimulating your brain, socializing lessens depression that can result from isolation. Regardless of whether you have many friends or few, it’s also helpful to continue finding other ways to be with people: join a club or civic group, attend classes, continue working, or do volunteer work.
MENTAL STIMULATION:
Stimulating your brain can increase the number of brain cells and the connections between the brain cells, and strengthen your current brain cells and connections between them.
Recent studies confirm older people can improve their memory and problem-solving skills with practice. Brain cells may die as we age, but research shows that mental and social activities promote new connections between cells. There are countless examples of productive people continuing to do great work decades beyond age 60—proof positive that aging and mental deterioration don’t necessarily go together.
Mental exercise has been associated with a reduced risk of getting Alzheimer's. Do something different or learn something new every day or engage in a challenging activity that will exercise your brain.
It can’t be emphasized enough that it is variety and newness that keep the mind sharp and promote a healthy brain. While it’s important to stay connected with old friends and to engage in comfortable routines, it’s just as important to stretch yourself mentally and socially by seeking out new friends, new experiences and activities.

PHARMACUETICAL COCKTAILS:
Doctors currently prescribe two types of drugs to slow down Alzheimer's:
- Cholinesterase inhibitors may slow down the decline in cognitive capabilities such as memory and learning in the early stages of Alzheimer's.
- NMDA receptor antagonists sometimes slow down the decline in cognitive functions necessary for the activities of daily living, such as dressing and eating, in the later stages of Alzheimer's.
Talk to your doctor about the best pharmaceutical approach for your loved one. Find out about any side effects or long-term effects of the drugs. Ask about any harmful drug interactions if several medications are being used. If you do go ahead with a medication protocol, keep abreast of the latest news about Alzheimer's drugs.
All choices currently being offered refuse to explore or give merit to the logical conclusions of over toxicity. Our Solution at Lighthouse Research is both simple and self evident. All of the above suggested methods for inhibiting the decline of an Alzheimer's patient are relevant and important. They all however fall drastically short of any long term effective solution.
When the methods mentioned above are incorporated along with our self health detoxification and brain cell regeneration program the results will likely be profound. You really have nothing to loose "except your mind" |
