Alzheimer's Diesease, Parkinsons Disease, Dementia, ALS, and MS Help & Prevention

Gary Null read a study, from Cornell University, on his show today. The study showed that quercetin, a very important bioflavanoid, protects nerve cells from oxidative damage associated with Alzheimer's Disease. Smoking, drinking, exercises, and stress create free radicals. Free radicals, when they oxidize, cause oxidative stress. You should take extra antioxidants that will help trap the free radicals. Quercetin was more protective than Vitamin C in the studies. Gary Null recommended taking 2,000 to 3,000 mg of quercetin and 10,000 to 15,000 mg of Vitamin C a day to both help and prevent Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinsons Disease, Dementia, ALS, and MS.

Although Gary Null recommends 10,000 to 15,000 mg of Vitamin C a day, I can only take a maximum of 3,000 mg a day. Vitamin C is taken to bowel tolerance. If you take too much, you will get diarhhea. Just back off on the amount until you no longer get diarrhea. It's best to take Vitamin C throughout the day to keep your blood levels up. I take half a packet of Alacer Emer' Gen-C about every 3 hours.

Green Tea Max - Weight Control, Cardiovascular Health, Anti-Cancer Effects, and Other Health Benefits

Green Tea Max is an extract of organic green tea leaves and a wide range of other antioxidants. I find that 10 drops in water makes a very good tea. One full dropper (about 56 drops) of Green Tea Max has an ORAC Value of 5,000 units. ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. The higher the ORAC value of food, the more antioxidant power it contains. An antioxidant is any substance that reduces damage due to oxygen, such as that caused by free radicals. Diseases such as Alzheimer's, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and aging itself have been shown to be linked to free radical damage for over 20 years. Studies show the average person gets only about 1200 ORAC units per day from 3 servings of fruits and vegetables. It is suggested the average person should get 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day. One full dropper (about 56 drops) in water or a beverage of your choice and you have the suggested 5,000 ORAC units per day. I spread this out to 6 cups, throughout the day, with 10 drops in each cup.

Vinpocetine - Debra Ray Says, "This Stuff Works!"

Debra Ray has found it much faster to use her memory on the air, rather than constantly use her data base. She had noticed that this is becoming more difficult as she ages. After taking Vinpocetine for several weeks, she noticed it is enhancing her memory. Vinpocetine is an extraction from the periwinkle plant. It has been used by doctors in Hungary for the treatment of cerebrovascular disorders and symptoms related to senility for 22 years.

Vinpocetine is often used to treat these cerebral circulatory disorders:

• memory problems
• acute stroke
• Aphasia (loss of the power of expression)
• Apraxia (inability to coordinate movements)
• motor disorders
• dizziness
• inner-ear problems (ringing in the ears, tinnitis)
• headache

Acute or chronic eye diseases have been treated with Vinpocetine. Visual acuity improved in 70% of the cases tested.

**Caution: Anyone with epilepsy, or any other seizure-related medical conditions, should consult their healthcare professional prior to use.

Dr. Frank Ervolino, N.D., L.Ac., a guest on The Debra Ray Show, recommends Vinpocetine to treat these conditions:

• Alzheimers and all other forms of dementia
• motion sickness

Testimonials Say Back Pain Disappeared When They Switched to Earth Shoes

Vern Aisner, a guest on the Debra Ray Show, told how Earth Shoes got started. He is the Director of Marketing for Earth Shoes. Anne Kalso, a Danish yoga instructor, noticed the perfect posture of the people she was studying in Brazil. Their heels were below their toes while they walked in the sand. She went on 500 mile walks with a Portuguese shoemaker. He widdled the wood from the wooden shoe molds until they had it just right. It took her 5 years to develop the concept. When the store opened, they noticed 1,000s of young people passing by. When asked where they were going, they said it was Earth Day, they were going around the corner. Although the shoes were then called Minus Heel Shoes, the storekeeper quickly made a letter size sign he put in the window, saying Earth Shoes.
