According to Dr. Baibing Chen, acting out vivid dreams may be an early indicator of cognitive decline. The condition, known as REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD), sees a 33.5% risk of neurodegenerative diseases at five years, rising to 96.6% at 14 years, and most people with RBD will develop either Lewy body disease or Parkinson’s. Therefore, if you have RBD, please get evaluated, and make sure the evaluation includes toxin assessment (inorganics like mercury, organics like toluene, and biotoxins like trichothecenes). The ReCODE protocol has shown efficacy in Lewy body disease when detoxification is included. https://www.futura-sciences.com/en/im-a-neurologist-and-this-nighttime-sign-may-indicate-increased-dementia-risk_31784/

A new study has found that higher consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with higher dementia risk and lower attention scores. The correlation remained strong even after participants switched to the Mediterranean diet.

Yet again, an inflammatory marker has been associated with risk for Alzheimer’s: in this case, a blood biomarker, the neutrophil (type of white blood cell associated with inflammation) to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which is commonly associated with infection and inflammation, identified patients at risk of developing Alzheimer’s. Neutrophils are beginning to be studied for their role in Alzheimer’s, but the more relevant factor may be the underlying insults (such as infections) that caused the neutrophil increase. https://nyulangone.org/news/early-immune-changes-may-signal-increased-risk-alzheimers-dementia

Following a healthy plant-based diet can reduce your risk of dementia, even if started later in life, according to new research. We recommend the plant-based, polyphenol-rich KetoFLEX 12/3 diet as part of the ReCODE Protocol to protect your brain health. https://www.brainandlife.org/articles/plant-based-diet-lower-dementia-risk

More evidence of s*x differences in Alzheimer’s disease: A new study found that a good score on a common Alzheimer’s screening test (MMSE, mini-mental state exam) may not reflect the changes occurring in women’s brains, which appear to compensate during the MCI phase (when many people first present to their practitioners) in a way that men do not. This is one of the reasons we use the much more sensitive CNS Vital Signs testing, which we used in both of our clinical trials.

Older adults experience fewer recent regrets and less emotional distress when reflecting on past mistakes.

There’s plenty of evidence to show that Type 2 diabetes can increase your risk of dementia, and some data suggesting similar findings for Type 1. But according to two researchers, calling Alzheimer’s disease Type 3 diabetes may be oversimplifying things (as I’ve said for many years—it’s just not that simple, there is much more to it). https://www.uchealth.org/today/diabetes-increases-risk-of-alzheimers-disease/
