Dear Steve,

DID YOU KNOW that a study from JAMA Internal Medicine found a way to prevent Alzheimer's by up to 145% with the help of health and wellness counselors?

According to the lead author, "Our hypothesis was that a personalized approach, in which people’s individual risk factors are assessed, not one size for all, and the person can choose their goals and ways to improve their risk factor, e.g. nutrition, sleep, physical activity, social engagement, that we would be able to reduce risk and this would translate to better cognition. No one has tried this approach before and we found that we could improve risk factors and cognition even though this occurred during COVID".

We disagree with one part of that quote. There are those who have been taking this approach for years, such as ourselves. And we have always said we are not "one-size-fits-all".

After two years, researchers found participants who received personalized counseling experienced a 74% improvement in cognitive testing over the nonpersonalized group. Additionally, the personalized counseling group also had a 145% improvement in risk factors and an 8% improvement in quality of life compared to the nonpersonalized group.

Note: Steve is a Health and Wellness Counselor, the type of practitioner used in the study.

Steve: A recent study from journal Science was very disturbing. I've known, and expressed my concerns about, formaldehyde numerous times in this newsletter because it is carcinogenic (cancer-causing). However, the scope of its toxicity continues to expand.

Formaldehyde is commonly present in various household and cosmetic products, in polluted air from the combustion of automobile gasoline and tobacco smoke, is widely used in construction, and we even create formaldehyde metabolites when processing the artificial sweetener aspartame (Equal).

Most concerning is that formaldehyde is used as a disinfectant in many vaccinations. When injected directly into the bloodstream, there is no opportunity to detoxify it with our usual defenses.

Researchers in the current study found that formaldehyde negatively affects the messaging to our genes (epigenetics). That means formaldehyde can impact a process called methylation, such that it sends messages to our genes to behave badly, which can lead them to make cancer-causing, rogue cells.

While many vaccine manufacturers have found other disinfectants to use besides formaldehyde, we always recommend looking at the ingredient label beforehand. If you have to get a vaccine that contains formaldehyde, it would be a good idea to supplement with S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), which is a master methylator, as long as it's under the supervision of a knowledgable health professional.

You can also limit formaldehyde exposure by using natural cosmetics, bath, body, and household products, and choose formaldehyde-free building and housing materials.
