Grey Matter Death, progressive neuronal grey matter loss !!

Alzheimer’s as far as we know is caused by chronic inflammation of the brain itself and the blood vessels that supply the brain, the causes are multifactorial because the causes of inflammation and vasculitis, inflammation of the blood vessels have a variety of different causes, one of the common causes is infection such as the slow-growing viruses, mad cow disease, for example, Creutzfeldt disease that slowly causes damage in the brain, infection and a variety of other bacterial agents cause progressive grey matter loss, death of those brain cells. radiation, nicotine and carbohydrates and other toxins pacifically cause Alzheimer’s disease. 

Carbohydrates cause Alzheimer’s disease on multiple different levels. 

1. They affect the arterial blood vessels and the micro blood vessels, the endothelial cells that line the inside of blood vessels to the brain, causing swelling and a reduction in oxygenation and nutrient production or nutrient supply to the brain as a whole but particular the grey matter which has a very high requirement for oxygen and nutrients particularly in the thinking awake person, as those blood vessels stiffen and as the walls get narrow by the swelling of the endothelial cells you’re getting less oxygen and nutrients going to those brain cells and slowly over time their performance and ability to function is decreased and you get this chronic damage, cells are continuously been damaged and repaired all the time but the rate of repair goes down, sugar affects the vasculitis which is the commonest cause of vasculitis in vasculitis inflammation in the modern era.  

The second aspect which is very interesting is that the brain has a protective space, there is the BBB blood-brain barrier, the brain is a very protective organ which nutrients and oxygen has to get across into the brain, the brain itself produces insulin and has its own contained blood sugar management pathway, sugar is important for the Schwann cells that line the white matter, some cells under high functioning conditions do benefit from sugar but there should be enough sugar produced by the liver, the brain has an internal insulin control, what insulin does is allows sugar to enter into cells through out the body including the brain cells, which is a demand-driven action, insulin gets released and sugar enters the brain cells through the insulin gates, however, if your brain is exposed to massive amounts of sugar all the time then instead of the brain commanding sugar it is saying stop flooding me stop swelling me, the brain is a closed box a fixed space so even a tiny amount of change in volume affects the pressure tremendously, think about concussion or traumatic brain injury where the brain becomes swollen you loose conscientious and you get brain damage, well those little micro hits are happening because now were been supplied by all the sugar and every molecule of sugar is attached to a molecule of water so the brain cells are continuously swelling and been damaged internally by carbohydrates which also has water and the closed box of the brain does not have a water ilimination system so the damage is eccumaluting all the time remember brain cells in humans do not get replaced if you lose one, unlike other cells in the body, ie you could chop out 70% of your liver and within about 3 months that liver has regenerated itself completely, think of your skin if you cut your self the skin cells regenerate within a week or two and that cut has gone, the brain does not do that if you lose that grey matter those neurons they’ve gone.

Every brain cell has this membrane, the membrane is made up of about 30% of cholesterol an integral part of the cellular membrane which has proteins, phospholipids fatty chains which are preferentially single-bonded carbon molecules called saturated fat and specific types of fats called essential fatty acids which are polyunsaturated fatty acids called 3 and 6 omega fatty acids that we have to eat we cant produce them inside the human body and they all go to membrane function, not just the outer cell membrane but also the mitochondria cell membrane all the organelles that have these lipid layers that are the structural walls of the organelles and the makeup which is so important because if you have a lot of unstable double bonds and when they break they release oxygen free radicals, reactive species that then create intercellular inflammation and damage those cells if you do not have an adequate supply of healthy fats especially essential fatty acids and saturated fat to repair and replenish those brain cells then guess what they die, what then happens you get a with this space that has to be filled up and you get the replacement of active healthy brain cells with a amorphous gelatinous mess called amyloid, a type of protein and its not the amyloid production that’s causing the damage, the amyloid is just space-filling, it’s just there to fill the space where brain cells are dying as a support structure, the brain gets smaller also the volume of the brain cells and that is ultimately Alzheimer’s disease, amyloid is the marker the hallmark that is evidence of Alzheimer’s when someone is suspected of having the disease when been tested, a high amount of amyloid is what they look for.

Alzheimer’s has a verity of different causes, radiation from the sources explained summarily on my home page are a very dangerous problem that we are soaked in especially at night if we do not take steps to mitigate or lower the levels of radiation because throughout stage 4 sleep which we cycle in and out of about every 90 minutes during sleep is when we activate our glymphatic system, the brains detox system which cleans out amyloid plaque and other toxins that we all have in our brain at some level, the other most common one is chronic accessive carbohydrate consumption and a reduction in essential fatty acid and saturated fat consumption, the saturated fat helps brain cells repair the damage. We can prevent or reduce the possibility of severe Alzheimer’s, changing your food choice any time in your life will have a positive reaction.

If your not beyond the point of no return it can be halted to a certain degree and its not only the eldery that are at risk even more so in the moden world with the life style and food choices at hand, I have seen just how vulnerable we all are also how many in their middle ages who has the disease and once it’s happened you can not fix it, you don’t know where that threshold of no return is, how close you are to it, how serious to take them little forgetfulness occurrences that happen and you just put it down to the fact everyone has these moments, its normal nothing to be troubled about, if it gets worse then you will do something about it, you just put it down to the fact you have a lot on your mind or maybe had an extra glass of so-called healthy wine the night before, plus that extra special event is coming up, or that loss that you’re dealing with, you will do something after that, these are part of life for everyone, there’s never a perfect time to make changes, or it will be ok the doctor will fix it, it’s others that notice because your brain is losing functionality to oversee the problem, The perfect metaphor is the carnivorous pitcher plant. The pitcher plant lures its prey by offering sweet nectar which the fly drinks until it slowly falls into the trap. The fly then gets stuck and cannot get out, and gets eaten.

Rather than change your diet when your 70 years old change it in your 20’s 30’s 40’s to prevent the chance of it happening, it is reversible very early on but once it is clinically significant it is extremely unlikely, prevention happens when you least likely to think of prevention, what teenager is thinking of Alzheimer’s unless someone in the family has the disease, but as parents, you can start talking and change the home environment for your children, Alzheimer’s is called type 3 diabetes it’s a sugar problem, chronic excessive carbohydrate consumption, insulin resistance particularly in the brain and a lack of repair mechanisms of saturated fat and of essential fats 3 & 6 omega fatty acids, which is this wonderful mix that contributes to unabated inflammation in these brain cells that knocks them off progressively and causes more and more serious more and more profound earlier onset Alzheimer’s, prevention by becoming fat-adapted on a high fat low carbohydrate is the single best thing you can do, unless you understand and address what you able to address. It’s your fate, your destiny, It’s your choice.    

I fear losing my brain more then I fear cancer.
