Now, we talked about
Alzheimer's the overview
00:00:01.06\00:00:04.67
and then we talked about
the causes of Alzheimer's.
00:00:04.70\00:00:08.28
And so today,
we're gonna actually be
00:00:08.31\00:00:10.43
talking about the treatment.
00:00:10.46\00:00:12.52
So stay by.
00:00:12.55\00:00:14.43
Hi, welcome to Abundant Living.
00:00:45.51\00:00:47.09
This is Curtis, your co-host,
00:00:47.12\00:00:48.67
which means they have another
host as well and your name?
00:00:48.70\00:00:52.36
That's me, Paula
Eakins. Paula Eakins, all right.
00:00:52.39\00:00:54.92
You've been very
good as a co-host
00:00:54.95\00:00:56.97
on this program
over the last years.
00:00:57.00\00:00:58.68
Thank you. I appreciate that.
00:00:58.71\00:01:00.97
I appreciate you. Okay.
00:01:01.00\00:01:02.75
I'll keep you on the co-host
for the next show as well.
00:01:02.78\00:01:05.47
That's a very good idea.
00:01:05.50\00:01:07.52
Okay. Okay.
00:01:07.55\00:01:08.85
Now you are
talking about Alzheimer's,
00:01:08.88\00:01:09.94
we talked about the causes,
talked about the overview.
00:01:09.97\00:01:13.47
Now we're gonna be
talking about the treatment,
00:01:13.50\00:01:15.41
some things that we can do
00:01:15.44\00:01:16.51
that will enhance
cognitive development.
00:01:16.54\00:01:19.37
Well, I know that people
are really wanting to hear
00:01:19.40\00:01:22.03
what that would possibly be also
00:01:22.06\00:01:23.44
because that was-- that overview
00:01:23.47\00:01:25.58
you're talking about
what really went down
00:01:25.61\00:01:27.86
about our conference
that we had on Alzheimer's,
00:01:27.89\00:01:30.04
all the people who came
and then it turned around
00:01:30.07\00:01:32.17
and get into the different drugs
00:01:32.20\00:01:33.78
that could possibly cause them
00:01:33.81\00:01:35.04
serious problems
for an individual.
00:01:35.07\00:01:37.89
And now I know everybody
is saying so tell me for real,
00:01:37.92\00:01:41.73
what are some of the treatments?
00:01:41.76\00:01:43.24
Yeah.
00:01:43.27\00:01:44.30
Well, you know, and we
are talking about Alzheimer's,
00:01:44.33\00:01:46.06
now the list I
mentioned before that
00:01:46.09\00:01:48.12
we're not just talking about
Alzheimer's but also dementia.
00:01:48.15\00:01:51.48
Alzheimer's about
70 percent of dementia.
00:01:51.51\00:01:55.00
And so because you also
have vascular dementia as well,
00:01:55.03\00:01:58.71
TIA strokes or brain injuries
and depression, low thyroid
00:01:58.74\00:02:03.84
so all those things can
cause cognitive impairment.
00:02:03.87\00:02:08.80
But there's lot
of drugs out there
00:02:08.83\00:02:10.14
that is used for
Alzheimer's disease.
00:02:10.17\00:02:12.99
Three in particular
probably most well known
00:02:13.02\00:02:15.97
is Aricept and that's out there.
00:02:16.00\00:02:20.02
You have Exelon
that's the patch.
00:02:20.05\00:02:23.05
You have Namenda.
00:02:23.08\00:02:25.05
Namenda is the one
00:02:25.08\00:02:26.11
that is not as
efficacious as the other two.
00:02:26.14\00:02:29.04
As matter of fact,
I just realized last--
00:02:29.07\00:02:31.52
I think last month at
the date of this taping
00:02:31.55\00:02:34.20
that the Alzheimer's
Association representative
00:02:34.23\00:02:36.81
told me that they have
taken it off the shelf,
00:02:36.84\00:02:39.48
it's just really
not that effective.
00:02:39.51\00:02:42.07
But with those
drugs for Alzheimer's
00:02:42.10\00:02:44.47
it can cause leg cramps,
it can cause arrhythmias,
00:02:44.50\00:02:48.24
it can cause-- it raises
your heart-- blood pressure
00:02:48.27\00:02:51.23
and also can cause
depression and delusions.
00:02:51.26\00:02:54.79
So those are the drugs
that's used for Alzheimer's
00:02:54.82\00:02:57.34
that's out there right now,
00:02:57.37\00:02:58.45
so really, it's
not really efficacious
00:02:58.48\00:03:02.43
as far as reversing a situation.
00:03:02.46\00:03:06.50
It kind of slows it
down just a little bit
00:03:06.53\00:03:08.51
but then with that
00:03:08.54\00:03:10.08
you have the side
effects of those drugs too.
00:03:10.11\00:03:13.31
So there's a lot of
research need to be done
00:03:13.34\00:03:16.46
for as what can be
done to increase medication.
00:03:16.49\00:03:21.42
We're gonna be talking about
some of that in this program
00:03:21.45\00:03:23.28
so-- and let me
say this upfront,
00:03:23.31\00:03:25.36
of course you want
to get pen and a paper
00:03:25.39\00:03:28.39
because we are gonna
throw out some things
00:03:28.42\00:03:29.98
that will enhance
cognitive health impairment,
00:03:30.01\00:03:33.82
increase our
cognition, increase your memory
00:03:33.85\00:03:37.60
and executive function,
all those kind of things.
00:03:37.63\00:03:40.70
So we will be
mentioning about some things
00:03:40.73\00:03:42.10
for the next 15-20 minutes.
00:03:42.13\00:03:44.59
Well, I know that
you are talking about
00:03:44.62\00:03:46.18
now the treatment part.
00:03:46.21\00:03:47.62
So I know that someone
is asking that question.
00:03:47.65\00:03:49.60
If we are
talking about treatment,
00:03:49.63\00:03:51.55
then what are some of
the lifestyle intervenes
00:03:51.58\00:03:54.50
'cause we've already
talked about the drug situation.
00:03:54.53\00:03:57.00
So what are some
positive lifestyle interventions
00:03:57.03\00:04:00.02
that can be used?
00:04:00.05\00:04:01.98
The first one I like to
title this, use your head.
00:04:02.01\00:04:06.97
Now what I mean by that
00:04:07.00\00:04:08.23
of course is mental stimulation.
00:04:08.26\00:04:10.78
Now when I say that
most people will think of,
00:04:10.81\00:04:12.79
oh, yeah, I've heard about it.
00:04:12.82\00:04:14.01
If you do crossword
puzzles, well, now that's true.
00:04:14.04\00:04:19.65
But one thing we need to know
about doing crossword puzzles,
00:04:19.68\00:04:22.54
if you keep doing crossword
puzzles over and over again
00:04:22.57\00:04:25.83
then what's happen is
that you just simply going
00:04:25.86\00:04:27.89
over to already
pathways in the brain,
00:04:27.92\00:04:31.22
that's been already established.
00:04:31.25\00:04:33.54
So what's emphasizes not
just doing crossword puzzles,
00:04:33.57\00:04:37.31
the Mayo Clinic points this out,
00:04:37.34\00:04:39.97
new mental stimulation
creates new brain nerves.
00:04:40.00\00:04:47.48
Let me say it again.
00:04:47.51\00:04:49.26
New mental stimulation
creates new brain nerves.
00:04:49.29\00:04:55.83
In that way they will
start-- new brain cells
00:04:55.86\00:04:58.30
start fighting with one another
00:04:58.33\00:05:00.24
and it keeps the
switch on in our brains.
00:05:00.27\00:05:04.35
So not just doing the
same thing over and over again
00:05:04.38\00:05:07.54
but new things--
learning a new language,
00:05:07.57\00:05:11.19
something new than just doing
00:05:11.22\00:05:12.81
the same thing
over and over again
00:05:12.84\00:05:14.11
because you're just
going over the same pathways
00:05:14.14\00:05:17.56
that's been
trailed in our brains.
00:05:17.59\00:05:19.84
So new stimulation,
now we do some things to- -
00:05:19.87\00:05:22.10
So, okay, so what you are saying
00:05:22.13\00:05:23.97
is that we got to
challenge the brain.
00:05:24.00\00:05:26.34
Make it do something different
from what it is used to.
00:05:26.37\00:05:28.72
Okay, so let me
just say this. Okay.
00:05:28.75\00:05:30.75
First of all we
love playing games.
00:05:30.78\00:05:32.66
Of course now, I
love playing games.
00:05:32.69\00:05:35.21
We love having
people over play games.
00:05:35.24\00:05:36.62
We've got some games,
the one called chicken foot.
00:05:36.65\00:05:38.60
We learned from a
group we were with one time
00:05:38.63\00:05:40.38
a while back and it's
very, very stimulating.
00:05:40.41\00:05:43.05
Unless, unless, unless
you-- okay, let me say this,
00:05:43.08\00:05:46.31
we have a granddaughter
and every single time
00:05:46.34\00:05:49.76
that we take a new game
to her-- you know she does.
00:05:49.79\00:05:53.10
We said, you got a
new game, got a new game.
00:05:53.13\00:05:54.55
She said, okay bring it on.
00:05:54.58\00:05:55.78
So we bring the game
on and I want you to know
00:05:55.81\00:05:57.63
after about may be
three times of doing the game,
00:05:57.66\00:06:01.22
she knows all of it.
00:06:01.25\00:06:02.28
I mean, she counts the cards,
00:06:02.31\00:06:03.84
she counts
everything she has there
00:06:03.87\00:06:05.86
and while we are all
sitting and trying to figure
00:06:05.89\00:06:07.31
how this game is gonna go,
she is already got it done.
00:06:07.34\00:06:09.72
That's Shanice. That's Shanice.
00:06:09.75\00:06:11.21
She got that mathematical brain.
00:06:11.24\00:06:12.27
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
00:06:12.30\00:06:13.59
We got new game, we are
gonna take to them those soon.
00:06:13.62\00:06:15.34
We got new game,
always find the new ones.
00:06:15.37\00:06:17.48
At first I ask the question,
00:06:17.51\00:06:19.16
Shanice, have you
ever played that and so?
00:06:19.19\00:06:21.68
And if she says no, it is on.
00:06:21.71\00:06:23.86
Yeah, it is true.
That's true. Okay.
00:06:23.89\00:06:25.36
One of my
favorite games is Phase 10.
00:06:25.39\00:06:27.40
Oh, yes.
00:06:27.43\00:06:28.46
Phase 10, that's
another real good game
00:06:28.49\00:06:30.10
and we not only love that we go,
00:06:30.13\00:06:31.83
we go to the park sometime,
00:06:31.86\00:06:33.73
we'll go in different atmosphere
00:06:33.76\00:06:35.37
and play the game Phase 10.
00:06:35.40\00:06:36.97
So another thing too that
games are good switch them up.
00:06:37.00\00:06:42.14
Curtis taught me
how to play Sorry.
00:06:42.17\00:06:44.47
What happens when
we play Sorry, Curtis?
00:06:44.50\00:06:47.27
I let you win. Okay.
00:06:47.30\00:06:49.90
That's not the right
answer you are looking for.
00:06:49.93\00:06:53.02
Now surely you know
that when Curtis says
00:06:53.05\00:06:56.21
he let me win,
that doesn't happen.
00:06:56.24\00:07:00.14
Anyway Curtis,
what about walking?
00:07:00.17\00:07:03.17
Well, walking also-- of course
now let me say this again.
00:07:03.20\00:07:08.59
Let's first go to the screen.
00:07:08.62\00:07:11.56
We are going to explain
what you see on the screen
00:07:11.59\00:07:13.29
and then we are
gonna talk about walking.
00:07:13.32\00:07:14.99
How it can increase
cognitive development.
00:07:15.02\00:07:17.23
You see here,
now on the left side
00:07:17.26\00:07:19.46
this is a brain.
00:07:19.49\00:07:21.22
In our brain of course
you have blood vessels.
00:07:21.25\00:07:23.90
Now executive function is needed
00:07:23.93\00:07:28.24
to do several things, learning,
00:07:28.27\00:07:30.66
balance a check
book, and making decisions.
00:07:30.69\00:07:33.64
To do that we need blood flow.
00:07:33.67\00:07:37.07
When we begin to walk or engage
00:07:37.10\00:07:39.64
in any type of physical activity
00:07:39.67\00:07:42.79
that will increase
blood flow into the brain
00:07:42.82\00:07:46.54
which will
increase executive function
00:07:46.57\00:07:49.10
which is learning, reading,
writing, problem solving.
00:07:49.13\00:07:52.99
So see at the brain
that's on the right.
00:07:53.02\00:07:55.08
So therefore when we walk,
00:07:55.11\00:07:57.60
when we engage in any
type of physical activity,
00:07:57.63\00:08:01.08
it increases the blood flow,
00:08:01.11\00:08:03.57
the blood flow
goes into the brain
00:08:03.60\00:08:05.31
and helps to
improve executive function.
00:08:05.34\00:08:09.26
So therefore that's
why walking will enhance
00:08:09.29\00:08:13.26
cognitive development, walking.
00:08:13.29\00:08:16.20
And we suggest
walking in open air,
00:08:16.23\00:08:19.83
brisk walking would be good.
00:08:19.86\00:08:22.39
Some people jog and of course
there's a story about that
00:08:22.42\00:08:25.18
but we may not have
time to talk about that.
00:08:25.21\00:08:27.63
But again walking,
brisk walking in open air,
00:08:27.66\00:08:30.91
any type of physical activity
00:08:30.94\00:08:32.73
will increase their
blood flow in the brain,
00:08:32.76\00:08:34.62
then we can increase
our executive function.
00:08:34.65\00:08:37.02
Now, of course we're
talking about Alzheimer's
00:08:37.05\00:08:38.20
and you're talking about,
00:08:38.23\00:08:39.26
you know, the
caregiver and the individual
00:08:39.29\00:08:41.13
that might be
experiencing Alzheimer's.
00:08:41.16\00:08:43.08
You know, you might not
start off with the brisk walking
00:08:43.11\00:08:45.01
but the bottom line is
just to go out and walk.
00:08:45.04\00:08:47.31
And then as you
continue to walk,
00:08:47.34\00:08:48.81
you can actually
increase the pace
00:08:48.84\00:08:50.43
and that will do really good.
00:08:50.46\00:08:51.74
But somebody also I
remember at the conference
00:08:51.77\00:08:53.41
someone talked about the
importance of water as well.
00:08:53.44\00:08:56.06
So what about water?
How important is that?
00:08:56.09\00:08:58.54
Okay, now water--
00:08:58.57\00:08:59.99
now we're talking about
dementia, Alzheimer's diseases.
00:09:00.02\00:09:03.25
A lot of people think
00:09:03.28\00:09:04.42
well, I'm looking for some
type of special herb or drug
00:09:04.45\00:09:09.09
and these are just
simple lifestyle things
00:09:09.12\00:09:11.46
that we can do.
00:09:11.49\00:09:12.77
Sometimes we
overlook the most obvious.
00:09:12.80\00:09:14.61
I mean, walking, we
miss by going to sleep
00:09:14.64\00:09:19.09
or going to bed last program.
00:09:19.12\00:09:21.09
Yeah. And so water.
00:09:21.12\00:09:22.94
This is study done,
00:09:22.97\00:09:24.04
it was published
in a Medical Journal,
00:09:24.07\00:09:26.53
this was study done
00:09:26.56\00:09:27.91
at the Martins
Care Home in England
00:09:27.94\00:09:32.22
where this new nurse
00:09:32.25\00:09:34.15
who is over charge of
this Martins Care Home,
00:09:34.18\00:09:37.93
she decided to
engage all the people
00:09:37.96\00:09:40.83
in this care home,
the seniors a water club.
00:09:40.86\00:09:45.12
And this was what
she did, head nurse.
00:09:45.15\00:09:47.46
What she did is she
installed water receptacles
00:09:47.49\00:09:52.74
throughout the
care home number one
00:09:52.77\00:09:54.98
and also placed water containers
00:09:55.01\00:09:57.57
inside everyone's
room at this care home.
00:09:57.60\00:10:01.19
And they were
requested or encouraged to drink
00:10:01.22\00:10:04.28
at least six
cups of water a day.
00:10:04.31\00:10:08.59
Over the six months
the results were amazing.
00:10:08.62\00:10:12.46
She says, I got several
courses of what nurse says.
00:10:12.49\00:10:14.90
She says, the whole
home just buzzes now.
00:10:14.93\00:10:18.96
They had less call-ins
or call-outs, less falls,
00:10:18.99\00:10:25.32
they had people
who have a better mood,
00:10:25.35\00:10:28.50
a better personality,
they didn't have people
00:10:28.53\00:10:31.35
who were wandering out as
much and it was just amazing.
00:10:31.38\00:10:36.20
There was more cheerfulness
throughout the whole home.
00:10:36.23\00:10:38.96
So we just simply
encouraging people
00:10:38.99\00:10:41.86
who you know,
healthcare professionals,
00:10:41.89\00:10:43.85
we care for our loved
ones, you want to make sure
00:10:43.88\00:10:45.96
that they get
adequate amount of water.
00:10:45.99\00:10:49.36
The reason being is number one,
the brain is 80 percent water.
00:10:49.39\00:10:56.40
Yes. The brain.
00:10:56.43\00:10:57.74
So it makes seem to reason
that if we have a lack of water
00:10:57.77\00:11:01.82
then the brain
cannot function as properly
00:11:01.85\00:11:04.29
therefore we have problems
with memory loss, etcetera.
00:11:04.32\00:11:07.66
So just a
matter of just drinking
00:11:07.69\00:11:09.87
adequate amount of
water, drink it up.
00:11:09.90\00:11:13.29
And you do know
that drinking water
00:11:13.32\00:11:14.84
is not just affiliated of
course with the Alzheimer's
00:11:14.87\00:11:17.98
but drinking water
is important everyday
00:11:18.01\00:11:20.77
no matter what is going on,
00:11:20.80\00:11:21.86
because it helps to
lubricate the brain,
00:11:21.89\00:11:23.39
the bones, all
the system itself.
00:11:23.42\00:11:25.62
You know, we did a
program once on that as well
00:11:25.65\00:11:27.63
talking about
water and we showed how--
00:11:27.66\00:11:30.03
when you don't have
enough water what happens
00:11:30.06\00:11:32.03
is the blood
becomes very, very thick.
00:11:32.06\00:11:34.65
And so when we
showed also we showed--
00:11:34.68\00:11:36.94
we had a vase over the
head we had ketchup in it.
00:11:36.97\00:11:40.17
We showed how thick it could be,
00:11:40.20\00:11:41.28
your blood can get very thick.
00:11:41.31\00:11:42.58
And then we actually
poured water in there
00:11:42.61\00:11:44.33
and we stirred it
up with the straw.
00:11:44.36\00:11:45.75
So the size of the straw
00:11:45.78\00:11:46.87
the vein is very, very,
very, very small, the vessels
00:11:46.90\00:11:49.74
and we showed how
just by adding that water
00:11:49.77\00:11:52.43
how it lubricated and changed
00:11:52.46\00:11:53.90
the consistency of
the actual ketchup.
00:11:53.93\00:11:56.26
That's what happens
when we drink water.
00:11:56.29\00:11:57.38
We drink water, you
know, it actually helps
00:11:57.41\00:11:59.80
to defuse itself
throughout the body system
00:11:59.83\00:12:02.02
and it's really good
for all parts of the body.
00:12:02.05\00:12:05.06
So I hope you are
drinking your water,
00:12:05.09\00:12:06.50
not just because you think
00:12:06.53\00:12:07.75
you might have
Alzheimer's or dementia
00:12:07.78\00:12:09.68
but because it's
just a good thing to do.
00:12:09.71\00:12:12.30
You know, I think let's
take another thing too honey,
00:12:12.33\00:12:14.58
because lot of times people
taking care of their loved ones
00:12:14.61\00:12:17.13
who may have
dementia or Alzheimer's
00:12:17.16\00:12:19.30
and they may not
remember to get their water in.
00:12:19.33\00:12:22.64
So we have to remind
them, we have to may be
00:12:22.67\00:12:24.46
put a water jug in front of them
00:12:24.49\00:12:26.09
and you know, time it
00:12:26.12\00:12:27.66
and you know,
little posted notes
00:12:27.69\00:12:30.08
because we need to
help our loved ones go ahead
00:12:30.11\00:12:32.81
and increase their
cognitive development.
00:12:32.84\00:12:35.09
Therefore with
that lack of water
00:12:35.12\00:12:37.31
is going to impact the mental
and central nervous system.
00:12:37.34\00:12:40.23
Yeah. Yeah.
00:12:40.26\00:12:41.30
Well, what
about herbal medicine?
00:12:41.33\00:12:42.78
Any other herbal medicines
that we can actually use
00:12:42.81\00:12:45.75
as it relates to
Alzheimer's as well?
00:12:45.78\00:12:47.97
Okay, now when it
comes to herbal medicine,
00:12:48.00\00:12:51.03
I'm going to
mention in my opinion
00:12:51.06\00:12:54.24
based on
research the top two herbs
00:12:54.27\00:12:58.25
used for enhancing
memory, short time memory,
00:12:58.28\00:13:03.23
enhances cognitive development,
00:13:03.26\00:13:06.36
it protects the
nerve cell has low toxicity
00:13:06.39\00:13:12.27
and very effective even more
so than drugs for Alzheimer's.
00:13:12.30\00:13:18.74
Two of them. Okay.
00:13:18.77\00:13:19.80
So we are gonna
quickly run out of time
00:13:19.83\00:13:21.19
so I'm going to
highlight the first one.
00:13:21.22\00:13:22.91
The first one this is
based on meta-analyses.
00:13:22.94\00:13:26.34
Now what I mean by
meta-analyses mean that
00:13:26.37\00:13:29.73
several studies put together
00:13:29.76\00:13:32.56
that will endorse
this herbal medicine
00:13:32.59\00:13:35.36
to increase
cognitive development.
00:13:35.39\00:13:38.20
Nine studies total combine
and this herb induced in India,
00:13:38.23\00:13:44.42
innovated for many years
00:13:44.45\00:13:47.11
for cognitive development
in Alzheimer's diseases.
00:13:47.14\00:13:50.18
Let's go to screen and see
what this herb is at this time.
00:13:50.21\00:13:54.48
Here it is Bacopa
Monnieri it states this,
00:13:54.51\00:13:59.92
journal from Ethnopharmacology.
00:13:59.95\00:14:02.28
It enhances to
speed of attention.
00:14:02.31\00:14:06.09
Two, it decrease
choice reaction time.
00:14:06.12\00:14:10.30
And three, it's
effective for dementia
00:14:10.33\00:14:13.23
and Alzheimer
disease and also ADHD,
00:14:13.26\00:14:17.05
attention deficit
hyperactivity disorder.
00:14:17.08\00:14:19.82
So again enhance
speed of attention.
00:14:19.85\00:14:21.72
In other words, that we have--
the intention is speed it up
00:14:21.75\00:14:26.65
so we'll be able
to concentrate better.
00:14:26.68\00:14:29.67
And reaction time
where we can react quicker
00:14:29.70\00:14:34.61
than if we didn't have
this herb into the system
00:14:34.64\00:14:37.40
and then also the
third one of course
00:14:37.43\00:14:39.07
that we mentioned about enhance
00:14:39.10\00:14:40.83
the cognitive
development and also ADHD.
00:14:40.86\00:14:44.29
Now this herb can
be purchased anywhere,
00:14:44.32\00:14:47.60
in any major health
food store in United States.
00:14:47.63\00:14:51.33
And the dose is
based on clinical studies
00:14:51.36\00:14:54.11
is 300 milligrams.
00:14:54.14\00:14:56.66
Bacopa Monnieri, 300 milligrams.
00:14:56.69\00:14:59.06
And lot of times you see this
in lot of their memory formulas
00:14:59.09\00:15:02.62
you see Bacopa
Monnieri is on there.
00:15:02.65\00:15:04.69
A lot of times you
don't really have enough.
00:15:04.72\00:15:06.90
Sometimes like
30 or 40 milligrams,
00:15:06.93\00:15:09.00
we need 300 to be efficacious,
enhancing the memory as well.
00:15:09.03\00:15:13.76
So let's go for
that. So that's one.
00:15:13.79\00:15:16.12
The second one is
also very popular.
00:15:16.15\00:15:20.00
This one is used in
China for years, all right.
00:15:20.03\00:15:23.66
And so let's go to screen to see
00:15:23.69\00:15:25.52
what this herb is at this time.
00:15:25.55\00:15:27.63
Huperzine A, this is
from a Chinese club moss
00:15:27.66\00:15:30.87
and this is really
based on ClinicalTrials.gov.
00:15:30.90\00:15:33.87
It's gone on clinical trials
00:15:33.90\00:15:35.13
for the last eight to ten years.
00:15:35.16\00:15:37.09
Here it is,
"Evidence that this herb
00:15:37.12\00:15:40.41
may compare
favorably to other drugs
00:15:40.44\00:15:44.65
for Alzheimer's currently in use
00:15:44.68\00:15:47.24
and useful in the treatment
of Alzheimer's diseases."
00:15:47.27\00:15:51.54
This is really remarkable
00:15:51.57\00:15:53.16
because a lot of
the clinical trials
00:15:53.19\00:15:55.66
that the government does
is not on herbal medicine,
00:15:55.69\00:16:00.32
it's on other drugs.
00:16:00.35\00:16:02.34
ClinicalTrials.gov go
there type in Huperzine A,
00:16:02.37\00:16:07.18
click at this
tape, time of this taping
00:16:07.21\00:16:10.74
there's over nine clinical
trials going on as we speak.
00:16:10.77\00:16:14.48
This been going on for
the last eight to ten years
00:16:14.51\00:16:17.83
and so it proved to
be very efficacious,
00:16:17.86\00:16:20.99
it protects the nerve cell,
00:16:21.02\00:16:23.80
increases speed
of our blood flow.
00:16:23.83\00:16:27.20
And so therefore cognition
really increases by taking it.
00:16:27.23\00:16:30.99
Now the dosage for
this herb is 400 micrograms,
00:16:31.02\00:16:37.80
not milligrams, micrograms.
00:16:37.83\00:16:39.69
Smaller.
00:16:39.72\00:16:40.75
Four hundred all right,
per day you see the improvement
00:16:40.78\00:16:44.72
and it's suggested to take this
00:16:44.75\00:16:46.46
particular herb
with meals, all right.
00:16:46.49\00:16:49.70
And it was in the few months
00:16:49.73\00:16:51.91
you can take both
of these together,
00:16:51.94\00:16:53.52
be a good combination
and plus for both for these,
00:16:53.55\00:16:56.16
first it has no side effects
00:16:56.19\00:16:58.41
and prove to be
even more efficacious
00:16:58.44\00:17:01.02
than a drug for Alzheimer's
that's on market right now.
00:17:01.05\00:17:05.25
Well, you know,
we always say also
00:17:05.28\00:17:06.78
when we talk about this on 3ABN.
00:17:06.81\00:17:08.64
If you are doing a
herb you want to make sure
00:17:08.67\00:17:10.33
that you are talking to
your doctor to make sure
00:17:10.36\00:17:13.04
that there is a combination you
and he are both in agreement,
00:17:13.07\00:17:15.64
not just dropping
whatever you are taking
00:17:15.67\00:17:17.25
but you want to
talk to your doctor.
00:17:17.28\00:17:18.44
Make sure you
are on the same page
00:17:18.47\00:17:20.38
as you're going through talking
about herbal medicine, okay.
00:17:20.41\00:17:23.48
And I know what you
are saying to yourself,
00:17:23.51\00:17:24.83
you know, I'm
going through a lot
00:17:24.86\00:17:25.89
and we know when
we had this conference
00:17:25.92\00:17:27.78
there were lot of people
00:17:27.81\00:17:28.84
that were going
through a lot of changes.
00:17:28.87\00:17:30.73
The caregiver was
really suffering a lot
00:17:30.76\00:17:32.86
because that person who
had Alzheimer or dementia
00:17:32.89\00:17:35.07
could have been their parent
00:17:35.10\00:17:36.53
or is their
parent father and mother
00:17:36.56\00:17:38.89
and it's really a very
stressful time for a caregiver
00:17:38.92\00:17:42.88
and also the individual
going through Alzheimer's.
00:17:42.91\00:17:45.22
And so where is God with this?
00:17:45.25\00:17:48.10
Well, I'm gonna
tell you right now
00:17:48.13\00:17:49.17
where God is, is in the word.
00:17:49.20\00:17:51.18
Of course read the scripture,
00:17:51.21\00:17:52.39
there's a good
scripture that matches this one.
00:17:52.42\00:17:54.40
Okay, honey, this is
taken from 2 Corinthians 10,
00:17:54.43\00:17:58.60
I'm gonna read verse 5
and this is what it says.
00:17:58.63\00:18:01.86
"Casting down imaginations,
and every high thing
00:18:01.89\00:18:08.00
that exalteth itself
against the knowledge of God,
00:18:08.03\00:18:12.55
and bringing into
captivity" here it is
00:18:12.58\00:18:16.61
"every thought to
the obedience of Christ."
00:18:16.64\00:18:21.31
We are talking about cognition.
00:18:21.34\00:18:23.48
We talk about new
mental stimulation
00:18:23.51\00:18:28.44
which creates new brain cells
00:18:28.47\00:18:32.59
will start to
fight with one other
00:18:32.62\00:18:34.87
and keeps the switch turned on.
00:18:34.90\00:18:38.34
One way of doing that
00:18:38.37\00:18:39.88
is studying God's
word on a daily basis.
00:18:39.91\00:18:43.68
Keep that switch turned on,
00:18:43.71\00:18:45.65
those new brain cells
start fighting with one another,
00:18:45.68\00:18:48.28
therefore we can increase
cognition just by this alone--
00:18:48.31\00:18:51.48
along with other things
that we mentioned as well.
00:18:51.51\00:18:53.52
Now you're talking
about that cognition
00:18:53.55\00:18:54.97
and also increasing
by reading the word.
00:18:55.00\00:18:57.22
Let's say you have an individual
00:18:57.25\00:18:59.12
that you are saying that is
kind of hard to read to them.
00:18:59.15\00:19:01.81
You know, we've seen cases
00:19:01.84\00:19:03.06
where people get
cassettes or DVD's.
00:19:03.09\00:19:06.32
They have the Bible on it
00:19:06.35\00:19:07.91
and you can
actually plug that in,
00:19:07.94\00:19:09.59
put the earphones on and
while they are just there,
00:19:09.62\00:19:12.20
you can actually
use that as well.
00:19:12.23\00:19:13.62
So we're gonna give
you some other ideas
00:19:13.65\00:19:15.07
also we go into kitchen
00:19:15.10\00:19:16.13
because we are
about to go into kitchen.
00:19:16.16\00:19:17.92
