    ALZHEIMER'S, PART 3:  THE DIAGNOSTICS

    We are in the third week of our 4-part series on the 6th-leading cause of death in America.  In this episode, we focus on the thorough diagnostics at Holistic Integration that reveal the root causes of brain deterioration.  In this episode, you'll discover: —Why Dr. Prather believes there are more contributing factors to Alzheimer's than just the amyloid plaque theory.  And the six factors or patterns that Dr. Prather looks for as potential underlying causes to Alzheimer's. —The SPECT imaging that is critical to any diagnosis of Alzheimer's.  And the blood tests that can actually help to prevent deterioration of brain health if diagnosed early. —How a Cardiovascular workup is important for Alzheimer's and Dementia since you are more likely to develop Alzheimer’s if you have Cardiovascular disease. —The surprising connection between a person's fingerprint patterns and Alzheimer's. —How proper levels of Vitamin D can help reduce your chances of developing Alzheimer's by 40%.  And the importance of checking the B Vitamins and Iodine. —The reason that inflammation markers are "extremely important" for Alzheimer's. —How Alzheimer's is referred to as Type 3 Diabetes due to the impact of glycotoxic levels of blood sugar on the brain. —Why Dr. Prather says he would refuse to take on a patient with Alzheimer's or Dementia unless they agreed to do a Hair Analysis.  And how a Hair Analysis shows your levels of heavy metals like Aluminum, which seems to be most associated with Alzheimer's and Dementia. —The "tremendous amount of changes" that Dr. Prather sees in emotional and brain health by balancing the Copper-Zinc ratio. —Why an annual stool kit is so essential because of the connection between gut health and brain function.  And what the "research grade" Autonomic Nervous System or ANS Test at Holistic Integration reveals about your brain health . http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com *Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast

    ALZHEIMER'S, PART 2:  THE TREATMENTS

    We are in the second week of our 4-part series on the 6th-leading cause of death in America.  In this episode, we focus on the various Structure-Function Care treatments at Holistic Integration that improve brain health.  In this episode, you'll learn: —How Alzheimer's treatment from a Disease Care perspective is almost exclusively focused on the amyloid plaques, which has not been effective thus far. —Why lymphatic and venous drainage from the brain is  a "critical" factor and is actually a specialty of Holistic Integration's Structural Care. —The explanation about why insomnia drugs like Ambien are not helpful for clearing out amyloid plaques in the brain while you sleep. —The "well-proven" nutritional aspects that can improve your brain health.  And how Holistic Integration can test supplements to know which ones will work best for you. —How a proper Vitamin D level is "probably the most proven thing to help with brain health" and can reduce your chances of developing Dementia by 40%. —Why Vitamin D from sunlight is better for the body than in supplement form.  And the best time of day to get your dose of sunshine. —The danger of Heavy Metals to your brain health and how Dr. Prather definitely sees a correlation between Aluminum and Alzheimer’s.  And how Holistic Integration is "100% successful" in gently detoxing the body from Heavy Metals without the harshness of chelation. —How Hormones have "a huge effect" on the health of your brain and can increase your chances of developing Alzheimer's. —The reason why Dr. Prather says the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic adjustment at Holistic Integration is "probably even more important than any other aspect" for anyone with Alzheimer's. —Why you are more likely to develop brain problems if you have a "head forward" posture.  And how this aberrant posture has increased dramatically over the years. http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com *Receive exclusive bonus content as a member of our Voice Of Health Patreon Community: https://www.patreon.com/cw/VoiceofHealthPodcast
