SharpAgain's "roadmap" to reversible causes of memory loss is really quite impressive. They advocate working on your own and in partnership with your healthcare practitioner to look for reversible causes of Alzheimer's, dementia, and memory loss. Here is the list and you can find this on www.sharpagain.org - check out the "roadmap."
10 REVERSIBLE CAUSES OF MEMORY LOSS (PER SHARP AGAIN NATURALLY)
- Nutritional imbalances and deficiencies
- Toxins in food, water, air, work/home environments
- Effects of prescription medications
- Mercury and other heavy metal toxicity
- Hormonal imbalances (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone and others)
- Inflammation from low-level infections, mold, food allergies, and Lyme Disease
- Inadequate physical activity, mental stimulation, and social interaction
- Stress, especially from life changes and how we process information
- Sleep and breathing problems related to oxygen deficiency
- Traumatic Brain Injury
We also touch on the roles of meaning and spirituality and prevention (min 22:43).
We discuss the importance of oxygen and the airway on brain health (Min 30:24). Interestingly, there is a role for proper nutrition (including MCT oil) in terms of airway development.
Listen to stories of people that have improved using the the concepts advocated by Lisa's organization (Min 33). Treatment may take several months or longer to really see the powerful impacts.
