Alzheimer's prevention

Hi my friend,

Last night I watched a heartbreaking documentary on
Alzheimer's disease. 

The show centered around a family who has suffered through
a lot of Alzheimer's.  This family has an extremely rare
form of the disease--where it's passed down genetically.
Only 2% to 5% of people (2-5 out of every 100) who get
Alzheimer's inherit it from their parents. 

That means that 95-97% of all Alzheimer's has nothing to
do with genetics or family traits. 

It started with the mother of 10 children who got it and
died in her 50's.  Then two of her daughters got it in
their 50's--one died and the other has gotten to the point
where she doesn't recognize her family any more.

One of the brothers (aged 51) of the 10 children was just
diagnosed...and is clinging to every precious day where he
can still recognize loved ones.  It was gut-wrenching to
watch him cry as he held his little granddaughter at a
birthday party, knowing he would see that beautiful child
as a stranger in the not too distant future.  

And now the other 7 siblings have to live with the fact
that they have a 50/50 chance of getting Alzheimer's too--
and so do their kids!

Although this was a portrayal of a very rare form of
Alzheimer's, it was still a tear-jerking picture of the
reality of the disease.

Over 5 million people in the US have Alzheimer's, and it's
now the sixth-leading cause of death. 

All the medical professionals in the documentary were
talking about was the tremendous hope they had in new drugs
for Alzheimer's. 

Typical.  All they can think about is drugs. Money, money,
money.

They showed a clip of an interview with one doctor from 5
years ago where he said that he believed they would be
close to being able to stop Alzheimer's in 5 years.  Then
they showed him saying the SAME thing again--THIS YEAR. 

One of the interviewers even called him on it, and he just
brushed it aside and reiterated that he's very hopeful
about the new drugs that are being developed.

What all of these PhDs and medical doctors DIDN'T mention
is that Alzheimer's is linked to acidity in the body
(acidosis).

I was waiting for any one of them to mention it, but they
never did!  I could not believe it.

Yes--Alzheimer's is a classic example of acid waste
collecting in areas (in this case the brain), that can lead
to this horrendous disease, and eventual total acid
saturation of the brain.

When you eat mainly foods that are acid forming and don't
eat enough alkalizing foods to counteract the acids, you
invite acid waste buildup... 

...And all the diseases (including Alzheimer's) that can
thrive in an acidic environment.

If you want to help prevent and slow the progression of
Alzheimer's (and the other many diseases caused or
contributed to by acidosis), you can do it every day, three
times a day--by eating the way I teach in Great Taste No
Pain.

I'll show you how easy it is to eat lots of delicious
alkaline foods, and to correctly combine your meals to keep
acid LOW and your pH HIGH (alkaline).

When your body has an alkaline pH, everything works better-
-all your organs and systems.  And you can stop and prevent
acid buildup.

I couldn't believe what these robot doctors were saying on
this program.  One of them said that if they ever get their
miracle drug, they'd like people to start taking it in
their 40s.

Never mind that, at most, only 5% of all Alzheimer's
patients have a genetic marker for it (meaning that 95+%
got it from lifestyle choices).  Forget that you can
prevent dementia now by doing what is right, they say.
Take an expensive drug (that most certainly will have its
own shocking side-effects) every day for the rest of your
life, they say. 

I say take preventive action NOW and make strides toward
feeling great and being able to recognize your loved ones
through your golden years.

To your health,
 
Sherry Brescia

habits and all its horrible effects:

Hi Sherry:

I am now 54 years old and have had eating problems most of
my life.  I basically lived on coffee and cigarettes for
most of the day and then ate supper.

I have always been a nervous person, and have developed
phobias of storms, diverticulitis, depression and anxiety
(gee, I wonder why?!).

I started your program and did the 4 day plan twice.  I
have noticed increased energy and very little pain now in
my bowels.

I have quit my Ranitidine (an H2 blocker) altogether and
have no more nausea, and still just a little heartburn. 

I am still a little constipated but I can now have 1 good
bowel movement a day.  I can actually go out walking and
I'm loving my new freedom.

The food is fantastic and I am never hungry between meals.
I know it will take a little longer for me to be completely
pain free, because of my bad eating habits for so many
years.  I still smoke but plan on quitting on August 15th.

I no longer take 500ml of potassium and 1 stool softener
every day.  I've also cut my depression and anxiety pills
to half the dose and on Tuesday August 5th the rest are
going down the toilet.

I thank you for your help and all your support.  You were
my angel I asked for when I didn't know where to turn.

SB:  Lorna, I'm cheering for you!  Good luck in getting
off the pills, breaking free of cigarettes and enjoying a
healthy life like you've never had before!  But getting off
anti-depressants may not be as easy as the other pills.
There can be quite a backlash if you try to quit anti-
depressant drugs cold-turkey.  It's often best to wean
yourself off them slowly, and it may possibly require your
doctor to get involved in that process. Err on the side of
caution whenever stopping anti-depressants.
