From Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby's free newsletter:

Alzheimer’s Revolution On The Way

This is another of my famous: I Told ‘Em! items.

Doctors have discovered it’s a nutritional disease, not a deficiency of Aricept (current Alzheimer's drug being peddled that has been proved totally worthless in all studies, yet they still keep selling it, via ignorant MDs).

A breakthrough study (I don’t use that word lightly) was conducted in England and published in the Public Library of Science (an accelerated peer-review journal), Sept 8th 2010, showing simple vitamins have a profound affect on the brain damage of Alzheimer’s.

What you may not know is that this is THE FIRST AND ONLY STUDY TO SHOW ANY ALTERATION OF BRAIN STRUCTURE. Professor Smith, leader of the study, said: 'This was a disease-modifying study. All other disease modifying trials have failed. What we can say is that this is the first one that shows a glimmer of hope and success.'

A simple vitamin cocktail, costing pennies a day, could actually change the whole landscape of dementia. A tablet containing B6, B12 and folate cut brain shrinkage linked to memory loss by up to 500 per cent.

There is no need to bore you with the dreary statistics of Alzheimer’s. The media love to sing out the bad news every day. But it’s not good.

The answer, to me, is screamingly obvious. As our lifestyles deteriorate, and years of dietary absurdity and abuse finally kick in, there is little surprise that dementia is on the rise. The typical diet is shorn of virtually all nutrients; B vitamins, notably, are reduced by over 90% in the process of milling and refining flours.

The manufacturers brag about having “enriched” or “fortified” their bread and other products with vitamins and minerals. Ha! They take out 95%, put back 2%, and try to tell you they have done you a favor. It’s like a mugger grabbing $100 and giving you back $5. Would you feel “enriched”?

OK, back to the study: to date, no drug trial has shown any benefit with Alzheimer’s. “There is nothing we can do,” intone ignorant doctors around the world.

I was asked to speak at an Alzheimer’s Association conference in Sri Lanka. I wanted to stand up and say “It’s easy! Just fix the lousy nutrition! It’s a lifestyle disease”. As soon as word got out, I was blocked!

The Alzheimer’s Association is paid for, bought and sold by pharmaceutical interests. It’s not a patient support group; it’s a drug peddling propaganda machine, there to warn people off natural medicine and lifestyle changes and further the mythology that drugs like Aricept have any benefit. There is NONE.

But you can see why they wouldn’t want me as a speaker.

The new British study* ignored drugs and chose to focus on a well-known vitamin treatment for raised homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is bad news for those who want to stay well and live long—it’s highly inflammatory and attacks arteries and brain.
