Vitamin D, Omega-3 may beat back Alzheimer's

Has Mother Nature finally unlocked the Alzheimer’s CURE?

For years every major drug company in the world has been locked in a bitter battle to bring the first Alzheimer’s disease cure to the market — with a profit potential that’s been estimated at more than $20 billion a year.

Well, that market may have suddenly just shrunk to ZERO. That’s because a team of remarkable California researchers may have discovered the first great Alzheimer’s breakthrough of the 21st century.

A new study has shown that two power-packed nutrients may hold the key to stopping Alzheimer’s disease right in its tracks — and I’m dying to tell you all about them.

I’ve heard Alzheimer’s disease compared to having your brain covered in heavy cobwebs. Completing thoughts or retrieving your most cherished memories is like trying to sift through this dense overgrowth.

That’s actually not too far from the truth.

Researchers have long suspected that Alzheimer’s is triggered by the buildup of thick amyloid plaques on our brains. These plaques kill brain cells, interfere with the operation of neurons, and trigger the damaging cognitive decline we’ve come to know as Alzheimer’s disease — or the “long goodbye.”

These plaques are supposed to be eaten by tiny immune cells called microphages before they ever accumulate on our brains — however with Alzheimer’s patients, the microphages can’t keep up with the plaque.

But when a research team from UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine exposed microphages from Alzheimer’s patients to two extraordinary nutrients — vitamin D and omega-3 — it was like someone threw a switch! With just a little exposure to these powerful nutrients, the microphages became tiny, hungry, Alzheimer’s-destroying machines!

Both Vitamin D and omega-3 were effective in helping to kick-start the stalled microphages into starting to clear out amyloid plaque again. There was less inflammation, less plaque, and less cell death.

Of course, there’s still more research to be done on what roles these nutrients will play in preventing — or possibly reversing — Alzheimer’s disease. However, after this latest study, you can bet more of it is coming.

But why wait? Vitamin D and omega-3 are safe, powerful nutrients that have already been proven to improve your heart and brain health, stave off diabetes, keep your bones strong, and even ward off certain types of cancer.

Fish oils loaded with omega-3 can be purchased for pennies a day, and Vitamin D doesn’t have to cost you a thing! Just 20 minutes in the sun a day with your head and arms exposed is all you need to keep your body jam-packed with this potent vitamin.

Give vitamin D and omega-3 a try — and you may just end up saying farewell to the long goodbye forever.
