i am incredibly surprised that you did not once mention the connection between oral hygiene and Alzheimers. Then again, when docs write about heart disease they seldom mentions oral hygiene, when they write about diabetes they usually forget to write about the connection to oral hygiene, when they write about Parkinsons disease they usually forget to mention the studies showing Parkinsons can be started by the same bacteria that causes tooth decay. Strep Mutans is not an "oral pathogen", it is a systemic pathogen that causes many issues throughout the body. We know 100% how to effectively get rid of the strep mutans bacteria without using drugs...our healthcare providers and systems simply ignore the use of non-hexose sugars as being part of the solution.
I just read an article saying that when we first get out of bed in the morning, we should spit out what's in our mouth, then swirl around some coconut oil in our mouth to cleanse it of all the bacteria, then spit out the oil................I have done this a few times and will continue to do it.
I'm a biological dentist, and totally agree that oral health gets missed many times. I think, hope , and pray that it will enter the dicussion during this MAHA moment. I personally know that RFK understands that the neck bone is connected to rest of the body. Thanks Nathan for bringing this subject foward here. Dr. Marc DiNola
Also, be aware that most Omega 3 oil capsules are already rancid before you even buy them. Oils go rancid quickly. Most green teas contain high levels of fluoride too. Many teas do, except the herbal organic teas. You can grow your own herbs for making teas.
I'm currently living in a 55-and-older community...............A neighbor, Mike, had alzheimer's so was sent to a facility. His wife was still at home and was told by our neighbor, a retired nurse, that alzheimer's was INCURABLE............I was there and said IT IS CURABLE, but the poor wife was experiencing the start of her own alzheimers and couldn't help Mike. No family in town to help..........................Mike walked into that facility, but after only one and a half years, he died curled up in a bed with his wife at bedside. She said he was wearing a diaper, unable to make eye contact with her anymore, couldn't walk, speak, eat, or drink.............The medical staff killed him with their drugs and neglect. Legal murder. I'm still mad about how everyone just let him go.....................He was 82 years old, a long-time cigarette smoker, and refused to eat fresh fruits and vegetables. When he married his wife, he demanded only CANNED fruit & vegies, "The same as my mom fed me when I was growing up."...... RIP, Mike.
Please see the research cited and discussed at https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/. Proper vitamin D3 supplementation greatly reduces the risk of developing dementia.
Without proper vitamin D3 supplementation or extensive recent ultraviolet-B exposure of ideally white skin, most people's level (concentration) of 25-hydroxyvitamin D are much lower than the 50 ng/mL = 125 nmol/L = 1 part in 20,000,000 by mass which the immune system needs to function properly.
Vitamin D3 cholecalciferol, whether produced in the skin by the action of ultraviolet-B light, or ingested, is hydroxylated primarily in the liver so about 1/4 of it goes into circulation as 25-hydroxyvitamin D calcifediol (AKA "calcidiol"). This is what is measured in "vitamin D" blood testes.
Neither compound functions as a hormone (a long distance, blood-borne, signaling molecule). It is a mistake to think of them both as "vitamin D", but doctors often refer to 25-hydroxyvitamin D as "vitamin D".
These low levels, as measured in "vitamin D" blood tests greatly increase the risk of severe outcomes from infectious disease, transmission of influenza and many other diseases such as COVID-19, cancer, dementia https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.3, auto-immune inflammatory conditions and, in pregnant mothers to be https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.2, the risk of pre-eclampsia, pre-term birth, and in her child, autism, intellectual disability and other neurodevelopment disorders such as schizophrenia and ADHD.
Many doctors think that 20 ng/mL (50 nmol/L) circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D is sufficient for good health. This is generally sufficient for the kidneys to perform their role in regulating calcium-phosphate-bone metabolism, by maintaining a very low (0.05 to 0.1 ng/mL) level of circulating 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol), which functions as a hormone and is well known to doctors.
While ordinary vitamin D3 supplemental quantities such as 25 micrograms (1000 IU) a day, on average, can raise the circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of average-weight adults to 20 ng/mL or so, about 125 micrograms (5000 IU) a day on average is needed to attain at least 50 ng/mL.
To see how much vitamin D3 to supplement, on average, per day, to ensure at least 50 ng/mL circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D all year round, according to body weight and obesity status, please see the recommendations of New Jersey Professor of Medicine Sunil Wimalawansa at: https:// vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#00-how-much.
This "5000 IU a day" figure sounds high, but it is 1/8000th of a gram. This is a gram every 22 years. Pharma-grade vitamin D3 costs about USD$2.50 a gram ex-factory.
Many types of immune cell require a good supply of 25-hydroxyvitamin D as a raw material to be used in their intracrine and paracrine signaling systems, which operate within individual cells (intracrine) and between nearby cells (paracrine). These systems are unrelated to hormonal signaling and do not significantly effect, or are affected by, the very low, stable, level of hormonal, circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
These signaling systems are crucial to the ability of individual cells to respond to their changing circumstances.
Supplemental vitamin D3 won't necessarily reverse or greatly slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, multiple-system-atrophy etc.
While high 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels reduce the risk of contracting this and, in general, other such neurodegenerative conditions, I imagine that this protective action occurs over decades, including long before symptoms become apparent.
At https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.3 I cite and discuss research on 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. This includes research which shows that Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy and dementia with Lewy bodies are all essentially the same condition. They all involve misfolding of the alpha-synuclein protein. The patterns of the misfolding has been shown to differ between the three separately diagnosed conditions, although the exact details of the misfolding were not known.
One misfolded protein catalyses further proteins misfolding in the same pattern forming an agglomeration. This is somehow able to spread between cells and/or arise spontaneously in multiple cells. I guess this is similar to the formation of a crystal, except that these are big, sloppy, molecules compares to the smaller, more rigid, molecules which form precisely ordered crystals.
See also https://vitamindstopscovid.info/06-adv/ on raising 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels well above 50 ng/mL, under medical supervision, to suppress auto-immune inflammatory disorders. This is the Coimbra Protocol, best known for suppressing multiple sclerosis.
My section lists the auto-immune inflammatory diseases reported in these testimonials, all of which were successfully suppressed by the Coimbra protocol. More than half of these concern multiple sclerosis, which is conventionally regarded as being incurable.
There is no mention of neurodegenerative diseases, but I found two Facebook pages, with videos, which depict Parkinson's disease sufferers who made significant recoveries from Parkinson's disease after being treated according to the Coimbra protocol. The first https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=199159654612033 depicts a man playing piano, and the second https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2685771758134757 depicts the sufferer, who posted the video and wrote the accompanying text, riding his bike.
These are not clinical reports in peer-reviewed journals, but I have no reason to believe they are fake. Assuming they depict real people, then this is a cause for some hope that the progression of Parkinson's disease can, for some people at least, be slowed, halted or even reversed.
I also wonder about the connection of Alzheimer's and statins. I think I read(in Midwestern Doctor, in fact), that brains are the biggest users of cholesterol. Also, does fluoride contribute?
There are several excellent books that may contain the info you're looking for. "Healing With DMSO" by Amanda Vollmer. "The DMSO Handbook" by Hartmut P.A. Fischer. "DMSO in Trauma and Disease by Jacob and Torre. Good luck!
Emerson, dmso 99% is available at your local Walmart, no rx needed. I use it for my chronic pain and FM. Use it on feet for arthritis, numbness and pain. Take it orally in my coffee a few drops. Good luck.

So please explain why sildenafil users have lower occurrence rates of dementia? It has to be due to increased blood flow to the brain.

Thanks for summarizing.
You forgot lithium orotate.
“The amyloid theory treats plaques as the cause of Alzheimer’s.
But plaques also appear in people with normal cognition. And removing them doesn’t reliably restore memory, reasoning, or function.”
“Amyloid drugs barely slow decline (if at all) and they often come with brain swelling, bleeding, and accelerated deterioration.
They don’t fix why neurons are starving, inflamed, or poisoned.
They just chase debris left behind after the damage is already done.”
This sounds so much like the statin-cholesterol-cardiovascular disease connection. Wrong about causation. Therefore, no effective solution.
I also wonder about the connection of Alzheimer's and statins. I think I read(in Midwestern Doctor, in fact), that brains are the biggest users of cholesterol. Also, does fluoride contribute?
Dr. Russell Blaylock is a very important scientist/Dr. He, very early on, recognized Type 3 diabetes and the importance of avoiding excitotoxins.
i have been reading a lot about DMSO for many ailments. would it help with someone who
has extreme iron deficiency(not diagnosed as cancer) which iron supplement infusions
have not been effective and doctors have not pinpointed cause or exact diagnosis for almost
a year. also, how do you obtain DMSO medication, general practitioner or specialists? i am
asking specifically for treatment to prevent alzheimer's. thank you.
