Flashback Friday: Alzheimer's and Atherosclerosis of the Brain
Lack of adequate blood flow to the brain due to clogging of cerebral arteries may play a pivotal role in the development and progression of Alzheimer’s dementia …

In my opinion Ms I caused by same thing, vascular problem
This is great however having seen scans of people's brains Alzheimers does actual damage to the brain which shrinks from tissue loss. The other thing is I have zero faith in most in the medical profession to ever appreciate the relationship between diet and health. I have worked in the medical profession for 40 years and heard the most atrocious advice given to people with chronic illnesses. So pardon my cynicism. Still I hope more doctors learn about this and talk to their patients about dietary treatments.
Hey I watch your videos everytime you post. I have an idea for the channel. Why not do a "viewer diet review" So a viewer would send you their diet for the week and you can tell them what to take out, what to leave in, and what to put in instead. Just a thought. Love your channel, thank you for your hard work.
There was another recent study that showed a correlation between Alzheimer’s and long term insufficient REM sleep, with increased REM sleep acting as a sort of mental cleaning. It'd be interesting to see if said amount of REM sleep is having that effect of opening and closing those cerebral arteries, or if there's a completely different mechanism altogether.
from my mother most female are diabetic and from my fater the female alzeimer, both granpah die for vascular attac at 60. … eating once a day mostly veggies and i space some chiken and eggs 1 day no meat 1 day 50g meat. When i started avoiding sugar my depression lifted , and when i cut most carbs(not natural sources like bannanas, but i regulate them) i lose wheigt like crazy . Becarefull of flower base products make alot of fat in some people, and sugar can go up and down to fast insulin in the body desregulating blood pression. Stay strong
There are real brain wasting diseases and they are not simple. There are multiple things going on. Viruses, mad cow like prion attacks perhaps from any animal or fish, heavy metals, pesticides, other chemicals. Avoid all of those things. A good way to avoid those things is whole food plant based diet including mostly organic foods.
Primary driving mechanism in both artery and Alzheimer disease is insulin resistance due to hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. Alzheimer disease,now clinically recognized as Type3 diabetes. Let's just conveniently leave it open to misinterpretation .
The keshe foundation have been reversing people in china , with parkinsons and alzhiemers successfully, the units will be sold starting in january to clinics and doctors, starting at 150,000.00 euro by march 1,000,000.00 euro, theres a recent video on utube about it, go to Keshe parkinsons amd alzhiemers can be reversed.
Dear Mr. Greger, that is very clear and plausible to me. How then come the studies that Alzheimer patients daily eat 3 tablespoons of coconut oil suddenly after 1 week already wake up and after 2 weeks can draw a clock and after 3 weeks already digits in the dial? This contradicts the statement that M. Alzheimer can be caused by atherosclerosis and plaque deposits. After all, because of the saturated fatty acids in coconut oil, the blood vessels in the brain and in the body would have to be even closer, but the opposite is the case. Or is this again a marketing study of the coconut oil industry?
Thanks for your efforts.
I am happy to hear from you!
Best regards

After 45 minutes, the part is about the coconut oil.
If not for the obvious and important ethics argument this is why I'm vegan. My grandmother, grandfather and several of their siblings on my mother's side all suffered from severe Alzheimer's. It's an awful fate which I'm doing all I can to avoid.
Statins really come along far too late in the process for those with high cholesterol even people 40 years old could potentially have 80-90% narrowings as shown by Pages angiography at Cleveland Clinic.
Post humanism is the only solution, replace our fragile body with a machine that can be easily repaired and last indefinitely. Posthumanism or the grave my friends.
I just looked up ARTERIOsclerosis vs ATHEROsclerosis and learned something: Arteriosclerosis is the stiffening or hardening of the artery walls. Atherosclerosis is the narrowing of the artery because of plaque build-up. Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis.
Every person that I know that has been treated for Alzheimer’s disease or dementia has actually declined at very fast rate, and I believe it being because of the drugs they give them. I figured that people that are confirmed with any kind of artery disease, including PAD are probably at greater risk for Alzheimer’s. I feel that if they have these issues with other parts of their body then they were probably likely to have it in their brain. I wonder if you know of any study on lifelong asthma and if it contributes to Alzheimer’s? I’m wondering if asthma can be put under some sort of healthy control by treating with good nutrition (nutrition to powering up the adrenal gland?)? This is all new to me, and makes total sense. I know there is definitely a connection between brain function and oxygen, based on experience. I believe a plant-based diet is actually the cure and the only way to reverse hardening of the arteries. Eating foods that are rich in those animal fats and other types of non-plant-based foods have almost an immediate correlation between how I feel. A plant-based diet is the best thing that I’ve ever done with my nutrition choices. And it really helps to eliminate additives and chemicals in foods and reduce overly processed foods, and eliminate “natural flavorings” in foods. We don’t know what those are and those can be poison, for all we know.

I can't help but wonder what Dr Greger's thoughts are on Dr. Dale Bredesen's research.

Interesting Cholesterol video……*** https://youtu.be/JkZvFjW82Mk?list=WL

Thank you, Dr. Gregor, for giving me HOPE. My mom died of ALZ.
I think vitamin k2 mk7 would go a long way to help clear up clogged arteries in the brain and elsewhere. It worked for my mom.
So Alzheimers is heart disease of the brain. Totally makes sense. Stellar work sir!!
2:45 was leukoaraiosis misspelled or is it named in two diferent ways?
They X-ray scanned over a 150 mummies in and around Egypt and 40% of them had heart disease how do you explain that ?
More doctors should get together…..this could further research and eradicate dementia faster * Dr. Dale Bredesen:: https://youtu.be/Sq7uVZ_0D3U * Mayo clinic video :: https://youtu.be/shhkKfE-XaA

hope for the future…thanks Dr. Greger
Yes, I heard this from Dr. Amen…Thanks for letting others know.

Stay strong

I wonder if phyto chemicals will one day be considered a necessary nutrient.
But how were the VRF's treated in this study ?
Imagine the amount of carb's and Soy needed to cause that amount of damage
The Alzheimer’s ultrasound therapy research being worked on right now is fascinating

This is great news for all of us, It proves that we are in control of our Health.
No causality without correlation!

In the thumbnail I thought those were cannollis
This introduction music is so bad, that I like it.

This video is so important, it should have millions of views. It should also be required viewing for all doctors.
Thank you for sharing Dr. !
I feel a little less doomed (to my family history Alzheimers) the more research like this I see.
