book: "memory rescue"
@85 50% chance of demention
counteract: treat the risk factors
- is what I am going to do today good or bad for my brain
- ask for everything you do
- using GPS to get home disguises your developing memory problem, cognitive decline
- the "bright minds" program
- hypacampus (right & left) ["seahorse"] 700 new cells per day
- B - blood flow; 1st place affected is hypacampus (responsibile for memory)
- - low bloow flow is #1 brain scan indicator of alz.
- - blood pressure, being sedentary, any vascular or heart condition, caffine (constricts blood 
      flow to the brain) erectile disfunction
--- exercize, dance, high intensity training, sprint(walk fast) 30-60 seconds/walk 30-60, repeat 5x
    strength training, coordination training
- R - retirement and aging
  - stop learning => your brain starts dying
  - viz., NEW learning
  - high ferritin level (iron, as in red meat), decrease red meat & red wine), lower by donating blood, 
    or use leaches (ugg)
- I - inflamation, destroys organs; low level of Omega-3 <--> high levels of inflamation
  - eat fish 1 or 2x/week or take Omega-3 supplements
- G - genetics => higher risk, Vit D & Curcuman, blue berries, sage all along; green tea too
- H - head trama
  - contact sports - avoid head trama!!!
  - testosterone can be helpful
- T - Toxins, a sleeper cause of dementia, alcohol is not a health food
  - 2glasses a day shrinks brain, pot shrinks brain (especially hypocampus)
  - meth, etc, mold, carbon monxide, cyanide, 60% of libstick w/lead
  - ap: think dirty, scan a product to see how quickly it will kill you!!! via endocrine disruptors
    - scan shampoo, etc...
  - limit exposure - buy organic for eating AND for products applied to skin
  - support your skin - pay attention to what goes on it, sweat via exercise or sauna
  - support your kidneys - drink more water
  - support your gut - eat more fibers
  - support your liver - anacytal sistine supplement (helps w/detoxification), 
      eat brasicas (kale, brusl sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, caulaflour (w/olive oil))
  - sweets (no more rocky road ice cream (it's not good for you)), "brain on love" and 
    "brain on joy" sugar free, dairy free, glutin free choc bars sweetened w/stevia & arestrafal,
    ...on joy is the coconut bar
+++ brain fires 18trillion times a second, storage capacity of 6 million years of the Wall Street Journal
- M - mental health issues, depression doubles risk in womrn, tripples in men, PTSD, grief
  - ants - automatic negative thoughts, write down neg thoughts and talk back to the stupitify of them
  - argue with reality - welcome to hell
  - meditation, purposeful thinking, do it for a minute, wish well to yourself, someone you like, soso, dislike, 
      whole world
  - saffron, exercise, Omega=3, kill ants
- I - immunity and infections, rhumatoid arthritus, MS, asthma have been associated w/memory problems
  - infections are a major cause of dimentia
  - toxoplasmosis (from cat feces), lyme disease, herpes (^memory prob by 20%)
  - so, BOOST your immune system:
  --- gut health: probiotice help, also measure & optomise vit-D level (acceptable 30-100, optimal btwn 50&100)
  ----- below 20 = 2.2x risk of cancer, and cancer steels your brain by stress & chemo therapy
  ----- 25 hydroxy Vit-D, measure level and get it high, if not getting much sun => 5000 units of Vit-D/day
  ----- proper amt of Vit-D makes appetite go away (implies you'll loose weight)
- N - neuro hormonal deficiency (46:57)
  - measure women: estrogen & progesteron level; everyone thyroid & DHEA & tesosterone, dont want normal, want 
      OPTIMAL
    which means 70-100%, but not above normal
  - low thyroid - depression & dementia
  - 
- D - diabesity - obesity &/or diabetic, dementia
  - weight up, brain down
  - bread, pasta, potatoes, rice
  - pesticides, food in plastic containers
  - calories like money, overspend go bankrupt
  - 7hrs sleep for brain to clean up
  --- less than 7hrs, low blood flow
zzzzzzzz
tools:
hyperbaric oxygen chamber, boosts blood flow to the brain 
trans cranial 
nuero feed back
audio visual stimulation
zzzzzzzzzzzz
attack risk factors first...
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
humans now only have 8second attention span now (gold fish 9 sec), in 2000 it was 12 seconds
