#27 - Can Mold and Lyme Cause Alzheimer’s?

When confronting cognitive impairment or to minimize its risk it is paramount to consider exposure to toxins such as mold and lyme. Today we are speaking with the expert who literally wrote the book on biotoxins and their affect on the human body. 

Neil Nathan, MD has been practicing medicine for 48 years, and has been Board Certified in Family Practice and Pain Management and is a Founding Diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine and a Founding Diplomate of ISEAI [International Society for Environmentally Acquired Illness].  He has been working to bring an awareness that mold toxicity is a major contributing factor for patients with chronic illness which led to the publication of his book, Mold and Mycotoxins: Current Evaluation and Treatment, 2016 and now to his most recent book Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities and Chronic Environmental Illness.

His current medical practice is the Redwood Valley Clinic in Northern California. He can be contacted most easily through his website www.neilnathanmd.com , through which consultations are available.

 What to do about Mercury Dental Fillings?   To be perfectly clear -Mercury is toxic-its a poison. One of the main symptoms is cognitive impairment, including memory loss. Mercury can also induce the characteristic amyloid-beta plaques and neurofibrillary tangles seen in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. It also damages the antioxidant glutathione which limits our ability to handle free radicals.  So there are many reasons to stay away from this dangerous substance. And this isn’t really new.

The effects of mercury were known throughout history. Mercury toxicity resulted in the phrase "mad as a hatter" .   Mercury was used in the manufacturing of felt hats during the 19th century, causing a high rate of mercury poisoning among those working in the hat industry.   This was  later immortalized in Lewis Carroll’s classic Alice’s Adventures in wonderland. 

There are two forms of mercury that can harm us:
Organic or  methyl mercury which can be found in fish. This will be the topic of another video.
Inorganic or metal mercury can be acquired from handling old mercury thermometers but today the greatest risk is from the metal in certain fillings in our teeth. 

        Now how do we know if we have mercury exposure and possible early toxicity? There is a blood test but because Mercury tends to migrate to other tissues such as bone and brain the blood test may not be positive. It is thus possible to have mercury toxicity without increased blood levels.  If the blood mercury is equal to or greater than 5 mcg/L then there is mercury toxicity. If  blood levels are below that there still could be toxicity for the reasons mentioned. 
        The current most sensitive mercury test uses a combination of blood, urine and hair to make the determination. And it reports   inorganic and methyl mercury levels separately so the source can be determined. Its called the Mercury Tri-Test from Quicksilver Scientific

        People of a certain age may have amalgam dental fillings.
  Dental amalgam is an alloy of silver, copper, tin, and zinc combined with 50% mercury.
Look in your mouth and look for the characteristic dark appearance of the amalgam.
Note some amalgam may be hidden below a crown.
So just because you don’t see any amalgam doesn’t mean it's not there if you have crowns.
                  Each amalgam filling can leak up to 10 micrograms of mercury/day into circulation according to some reports.

Experts don’t agree about the toxicity of Mercury from amalgam. 
For example the Alzheimer's Association says that "according to the best available scientific evidence there is no relationship between silver dental fillings and Alzheimer's" . Others are not so sanguine. Some studies show a relationship and others do not. 
Since mercury is a known toxin, we are taking an aggressive position here if mercury is abnormally high or cognitive impairment is occurring.

       The relationship between the amount of mercury and the number of amalgam fillings is not straightforward. For example the amount of mercury detected in tests is not related to number of amalgams but rather to the surface area of the amalgam. Also some amalgams leak more than others.

So what shall we do?

Here is Rule #1 that just about everyone would agree upon:
         Don’t get any new amalgam fillings. Most dentists don’t use them except for certain situations if at all.

Then here is our approach for dealing with the amalgam that is already in place:
 If I had cognitive impairment that isn’t responding to any other treatments then I would remove  them all.

If there is no cognitive impairment then it depends on how concerned

Apolipoprotein E is a protein involved in the metabolism of fats in the body of mammals. The ApoE4 subtype is the most well known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. It is also implicated in cardiovascular disease, stroke, Parkinson’s, Lewy body dementia, multiple sclerosis, and other aging-associated diseases. The underlying pathologic role of the APOE alleles may be understood in terms of its metabolic impact during aging, which has implications for optimizing our diet. 

Julie Gregory is the founder and president of the ApoE4.Info non-profit, a grassroots organization of ApoE4 carriers working to prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s disease. Julie also serves as the Chief Health Liaison for Apollo Health and shares her expertise through ApoE4 Consulting, LLC. Julie recently teamed up with Dr. Dale Bredesen and his integrative physician wife, Aida Lasheen Bredesen, MD to share the diet and lifestyle strategies she uses in the book, The End of Alzheimer’s Program: The First Protocol to Enhance Cognition and Reverse Decline at Any Age.

023-What’s the deal with organic foods? They usually look a little smaller than the regular ones and are often more expensive.

 So why do people put up with that to eat them? We are going to look at the 4 top reasons that you may want to consider. 

First- what does organic even mean? Produce can be called ‘organic’ in the US only if it’s certified to have grown on soil that had no prohibited substances applied for three years prior to harvest. Prohibited substances include most synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

Products labeled “organic” must contain at least 95% organically produced ingredients (excluding water and salt). Any remaining ingredients must consist of non-agricultural substances that appear on the NOP National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances.

The danger of course with nonorganic fruits and vegetables is that they are exposed to many pesticides that are toxic to humans. And unfortunately washing or peeling the produce does little to lower this exposure.  Here are the 4 worst ones:      

[1]  First is Paraquat. It is one of the most widely used herbicides in the US for the control of weeds in many agricultural and non-agricultural settings. It is also used as a defoliant on crops, such as cotton, prior to harvest.  A 2013 meta-analysis published in Neurology found that 'exposure to paraquat ... was associated with about a 2-fold increase in risk' of Parkinson's disease. Paraquat is structurally similar to MPP+, a known fast-acting inducer of Parkinson's disease in primate brains known as  Cyperquat. Yikes!!

[2]  A chemical called glycine methyl phosphate or for short - Glyphosate has been a key component of the widely used weedkiller Roundup from Monsanto since 1974 when it was introduced. Although still in use in the US, The WHO recently classified it as "probably carcinogenic in humans”.  Glyphosate has several pathologic actions in humans. Because of its similarity to the amino acid glycine it is suggested that it can substitute for it in proteins and interfere with their action. It is reported to be found in cereals such as Cheerios although maker General Mills claims that the dose is low. While the role of glyphosate as a neurotoxin is still debated, this is another reason to eat organic. 

[3]. 1,3-Dichloropropene is an organochlorine compound used mainly in farming as a pesticide. It is specifically used as a preplant fumigant and nematicide which kills plant-parasitic nematodes.  It is widely used in the US and other countries but is in the process of being phased out in the European Union. The US Department of Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency have classified 1,3-dichloropropene as a probable human carcinogen.

[4].  The most famous organochlorine compound is an insecticide known as Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane or for short-the much catchier name- DDT. Opposition to DDT was famously focused by the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring which launched the modern environmental protection movement.  DDT is an insecticide that was eventually banned in US in 1972 but is still present in our soil. It is still in use or just recently banned in many foreign countries. DDT accumulates in the fat stores so it exists long-term.   https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/23-lufkin/

 Why doesn’t great medical care consistently result in great health? 

It’s been my privilege to work as a full professor at some truly world class medical schools. The great challenge I’m seeing is that despite the most advanced medical technologies, more and more people are becoming sick with chronic diseases. These include obesity, type two diabetes, and the resulting diseases of hypertension, dyslipidemia, stroke, heart disease, dementia, and even some cancers. 

There’s growing evidence that these chronic diseases are all driven by a common underlying metabolic dysfunction. conventional medical tools such as drugs and surgery, can treat the immediate acute symptoms of the diseases, but usually fail to reverse the root cause. metabolic dysfunction is best addressed with overall lifestyle modification, which our medical system is not currently optimized to deliver. 

Along with the breakthroughs in our understanding of metabolic disease, there have been similar advances in our understanding of longevity and aging, all appear to be driven by the same master nutrient sensing systems that are so exquisitely responsive to lifestyle changes. 

I believe that lifestyle modification is a major underutilized opportunity to improve both our health and longevity. I’ve now made this my primary focus to help bring evidence based quality information to the general public through podcasts, videos, and other presentations. 

I hope that you’ll join me on this exciting journey.

#019 - Ayruvedic medical traditions going back over 5000 years have a lot to say about approaches to preventing memory loss that have many fascinating similarities to the latest thinking about Alzheimer’s disease prevention.

Today we are joined by by someone who is not only an expert in the latest neuroscience and biochemistry of Alzheimer’s disease but is also an expert in Ayurveda.

Dr. Rammohan Rao is Principal Research Scientist at Apollo Health. He has a Ph.D. in neuroscience and biochemistry and has worked closely with Dr. Dale Bredesen at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging where he was an Associate Professor of Neuroscience focusing in the areas of chronic stress, neuronal cell death, and mechanisms of age-associated neurodegenerative diseases with special emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease.

Dr. Rao has over twenty-five years of research and teaching experience in neuroscience and has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers in scientific journals and chapters in several textbooks.  He is also a National Ayurveda Medical Association (NAMA) board-certified Ayurveda Practitioner and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) from Yoga Alliance USA and teaches Ayurveda and Yoga at the California College of Ayurveda.

Take home points:

-Ayurveda- Science of Life

-Network approach to disease rather than targeted drug approach

-Diet, herbs, aroma, lifestyle, yoga, meditation

-Mind and digestive system two main components

-Prevention strategies for memory loss

-AHARA- healthy diet- 12 hour overnight fast, no between meal snacks

-JATHARAGNI-Digestive fire

-NIDRA- sleep

-PANCHAKARMA- detoxification, purification, rejuvenation

-ABHYANGA-oil herb massage

-Herbs- Ashwagandha, Turmeric/Curcumin, gotu kola

-Brain exercises

-ACHARA-routines
