🧠 Alzheimer’s & Dementia – What’s Really Going On?
Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia are incredibly complex, and research is still uncovering their root causes. While there isn’t one single trigger, several deficiencies and possible hidden factors are being studied:
🔹 Nutrient Deficiencies:
B vitamins (especially B1, B6, B12 & folate): essential for brain health, energy, and memory. Low levels are linked to higher risk of cognitive decline.
Vitamin D: low levels may increase dementia risk.
Magnesium & Zinc: important for nerve communication and memory processing.
Omega-3 fatty acids (DHA): help protect brain cells and reduce inflammation.
🔹 Toxins & Inflammation:
Oxidative stress and chronic inflammation damage neurons over time.
Heavy metals, pesticides, and poor detoxification may add to the load.
🔹 Parasites & Infections?
Some researchers are exploring whether microbes in the brain could play a role:
Certain parasites, bacteria, or even viruses (like herpes simplex) have been found in brain tissue.
These could contribute to chronic inflammation and plaque formation seen in Alzheimer’s.
The theory is still under investigation – it’s not proven, but it’s raising important questions.
💡 What does this mean for us?
Supporting the body with proper nutrition, gut health, and detox pathways may help reduce risk and improve brain resilience. While scientists don’t yet have all the answers, lifestyle factors like movement, whole foods, stress management, and reducing toxin exposure are powerful tools we can control.
We provide vitamin infusions that bypass the gut for those with gut issues and the inability to absorb nutrients. Give us a call to discuss or visit the website for more information and pricing.
