When we never address farming, plastics, soil contamination with heavy metals in the role of disease development we do not fix the root. Now the planet and animals are suffering alongside us.

Scientists just found dolphins with Alzheimer’s. Yes, dolphins. The ocean’s geniuses are literally losing their memories.

In a shocking discovery, researchers studying stranded dolphins in Scotland found something terrifying. When they looked at the dolphins’ brains under a microscope, they saw the same signs humans get with Alzheimer’s disease. The same tangled proteins. The same sticky plaques. The same slow destruction of memory and awareness.

At first, scientists thought it was a mistake. Dolphins are known for incredible intelligence. They recognize themselves in mirrors. They have names for each other. They even mourn their dead. How could a creature like that develop something so human?

Then the connection became clear. The waters they swim in are full of toxins like mercury, lead, and other pollutants that build up in their bodies over time. These chemicals damage brain cells, disrupt hormones, and can trigger degenerative diseases. Basically, we’re poisoning the oceans, and the smartest animals in them are paying the price.

Some researchers think this could also explain a haunting mystery: mass strandings. Dolphins sometimes beach themselves in groups, seemingly confused or disoriented. If their brains are being damaged by toxins, that confusion might not be random. It could be a tragic symptom.

It’s eerie to think about. Alzheimer’s used to be something we only associated with humans. Now, we’re seeing the same patterns in wild animals who live completely different lives. The line between us and the natural world just got a lot thinner.

The saddest part? Dolphins can’t tell us when they’re struggling. They just start acting differently, swimming slower, forgetting familiar routes, or following sick podmates to shore.

We always call dolphins the “brains of the sea.” But if the oceans keep getting dirtier, those brilliant minds might keep breaking down. Maybe the real test of our intelligence is whether we care enough to stop it.

Is it our food?

What do you do when food is becoming the issue?

You look to small local organic or natural farms.
I call these the me or the we issues.

A me solution is to shop local and clean.
A we solution is to change our laws to change how we are allowing farming to happen.

Two recent studies reveal that even tiny amounts of chlorpyrifos, a common pesticide that leaves residues on produce, can cause brain damage in unborn and developing children. This exposure occurs from consuming fresh fruits and vegetables that have been treated with this toxic insecticide.

There are so many devices that are designed to help. This one positions the neck and head correctly and elevates the body for the very common issue of acid reflux.

It’s important to do what you can to correct issues you struggle with.

When I do herbs and acupuncture - the four pillars underlying this are your diet and lifestyle, emotional regulation, sleep and exercise. Many times I will suspect poor oxygen at night causing poor response to treatment.

I am not paid to endorse this product. I am not saying it’s great or I have tried it. I post it as an example of a solution to consider.

When we start with a problem we must be alert for solutions and trying to solve the problem.

You can find me for acupuncture to help the body heal and reprogram the nervous system.

It’s an interesting time.
It’s not uncommon for a product made by one manufacturer to be private labeled by another.

But should it be happening with medications?

We wanted to know where a widely used prescription drug that treats high cholesterol was manufactured and whether the factory had quality issues. The search led to a labyrinth of company names and databases that few would know about.

Exercise is the fountain of youth.
But go gently and get conditioned.
Listen to your body!

Scientists have found the first compelling evidence that cognitive training can boost levels of a brain chemical that typically declines as people age.
