Five things you can do to guard against Alzheimers Sunday, May 27, 2012 by: PF Louis 1,189 (NaturalNews) A study led by Dr. Patricia Boyle of Rush University Center in Chicago has concluded that people with greater life purpose maintained cognitive ability better than those who weren't leading a purposeful life.

After following 246 senior citizens -- with up to ten years of annual cognitive exams and neurological testing -- and quizzing them about life missions and then doing brain autopsies after their deaths, they reached a conclusion. (1) Life purpose/activity: As people age, they're prone to getting brain plaques and tangles.

(4) Eliminate aluminum: Avoid aluminum cooking utensils and underarm deodorants containing aluminum. Vaccines contain aluminum that goes right into your bloodstream. Aluminum bypasses the blood brain barrier and accumulates in soft tissue cells that regenerate less often than other tissues, creating plaque. The brain is an organ that is made of cells that recycle more slowly than most other organ tissue cells. Silica is ideal for removing aluminum from soft tissue and eliminating through the urine.

(NaturalNews) A study led by Dr. Patricia Boyle of Rush University Center in Chicago has concluded that people with greater life purpose maintained cognitive ability better than those who weren't leading a purposeful life.

Dr. Boyle and her team wanted to establish a strategy for avoiding Alzheimer's consequences rather than attempting to find a way of keeping brain plaques and tangles from accumulating.

After following 246 senior citizens -- with up to ten years of annual cognitive exams and neurological testing -- and quizzing them about life missions and then doing brain autopsies after their deaths, they reached a conclusion.
