Alzheimer's Information | Ahead of the Curve

Ahead of the Curve

Please keep it in mind that much of what you read here is years or even decades ahead of the medical curve. Chances are your doctor knows little about this new discovery. But you’ll have the pleasure of watching the information you find here surface in the media over the coming years.

What you read here comes directly from hundreds of recent scientific studies conducted by some of the most prestigious research centers in the world. My only interest is to provide you with the most unbiased and factual information available. My goal is to educate and inform you so that you’ll be empowered to make the best informed and most intelligent health care decisions possible.

Chronic Reactive Hyperinsulinemia
(Too much Insulin in the Blood)

“The best way to treat virtually all of the so-called chronic diseases of aging is to treat insulin itself.”
- Ron Rosedale, MD “Greater
understanding of insulin’s role in Alzheimer’s disease may lead to novel and more effective strategies for treating, delaying or even preventing this challenging disease.”
- Mark Fishel, MD

To get a solid understanding of CRH we’ll have to venture back in history, in fact we’ll need to look back a very long ways. For approximately six million years our ancient ancestors wandered this planet in search of something to eat. Like the animals, they too were forced to spend most of their time and energy in pursuit of their next meal.

What did they eat? They obviously didn’t all eat the very same things way back then. Primitive man had to survive on anything he could find so I’m sure different groups located in different climates consumed diets that varied widely.

This is born out by observing tribes that today live in the more undeveloped areas of Africa, Asia and South America. Though they consume diets that vary in their animal and plant content, most of these peoples are healthy and thriving in spite of their widely dissimilar diets.

If our ancient relatives resided in a more temperate latitude they almost certainly consumed substantial quantities of the fruits and vegetables that were no doubt in abundant supply.

But those hardy souls who lived in colder climates had to survive through long, snowy winters. They were no doubt forced to rely heavily on small game to make it through to the next spring.

These days we can find an example of this kind of primitive animal-based diet in the east African nation of Kenya. There the Mesai tribe keeps animals and lives on a largely animal-based diet.

Not only do they consume almost all of their animal’s various body parts, they even occasionally drink cow’s blood with their meals!

The Mesai are by any measure an extremely healthy group. Now that they’ve been inoculated against the infectious diseases that used to plague them, they’re today living long and healthy lives.

While Over in the Far East…

If you travel to the other side of the world and examine the dietary habits of the people of Okinawa, you’ll find their dinner table looks very different. They’re not big on eating animals. Instead they consume a diet that’s almost exclusively vegetarian.

To be fair the Okinawans do use small bits of pork or chicken in some of their dishes for appearance and to add flavor, they seldom if ever sink their teeth into large portions of animal flesh and never put meat at the center of their meals. They too are extremely healthy.

So the message here is – there is no single optimal primitive diet. Different groups thrive on very different kinds of foods. The bottom line is we humans are an opportunistic, omnivorous lot who can adapt our food consumption to whatever is handy.

While the big cats eat only flesh and the cows graze only on grass, we’re much more flexible. Unlike many other animals we can survive on almost anything. This flexibility helps explain how we were able to survive for so long through such incredibly difficult circumstances.

Despite the difference in these various diets, one thing is certainly true - our ancient cousins did not have access to the modern foods we consume so much of these days.

Back then they certainly did not consume refined white flour, refined white sugar, high fructose corn syrup nor did they have access to dairy products. Instead they survived on a raw, natural diet. They surely consumed some combination of nuts, roots, leaves, fruits, grass, insects, small game and occasionally each other.

For all those years, through all those thousands of generations they consumed only natural foods and through all those centuries their bodies slowly adapted to those particular kinds of foods.
