Hi Michael

I want to draw your attention to nutrient deficit and causative correlation to dementia and alzheimers symptoms.

The first symptom of dehydration is a headache. This is how quickly dehydration effects the brain. From our schooled daze we have been trained to ignore our bodily needs for toilet and water until the bell rings. Headaches treated with aspirin and Panadol instead of salt plus water.

Then in the 80s government dietary advice had us avoid salt as if it were a poison.

So the population of elderly people, especially women, are now reaping the ills from chronic salt deficits. Women (womb) have more mucosa to maintain hence greater requirement for salt.

Hyponatremia or low salt or dehydration are all the same thing. Hyponatremia is deadly.

The adrenals are the emergency organs that make major adjustments to rectify hyponatremia. But they don’t just produce aldosterone, they produce all their adrenalcortical hormones.

If the body is subjected to chronic dehydration or chronic low salt, the adrenals must also become chronically productive instead of responding emergency call outs.

The adrenals have two choices: exhaustion or hyperplasia. So now think about: unexplained hypertension, unexplained diabetes, unexplained anxiety ...

Meanwhile everything gets sticky instead of slick as chronic dehydration robs the body of essential moisture.

Hip and knee replacements because the joints are raided for salts and once the salt goes, moisture is lost.

So my take is a mis-functioning brain is a dehydrated brain. A sticky brain instead of a moist slick brain. Hence plaques showing up.

My article is titled:

We breathe air not oxygen

And I explain the difference between air and oxygen

How the lungs rehydrate the RBCs and breathing has nothing to do with a gaseous exchange.

Why is oxygen toxic and it can kill?

Why is oxygen primarily prescribed for the terminally ill and not for breathlessness?

Palliative care is not kind!
