One cause — and the easy solution — for brain fog

If you ever suffer from brain fog, it’s possible you have mercury poisoning. Mercury poisoning affects a large segment of our population. If you have or have had amalgam fillings, you have the poison in your system. And it’s vital you get it out to protect your overall health — not just your brain.

I’ve long used selenium (200 mcg daily), NAC (500 mg, two to three times daily), vitamin C (1 gm, two to three times daily) and alpha lipoic acid (300 mg daily) as inexpensive remedies that work.

Reduce your risk of colon cancer by 76% without pills

I told you a few weeks ago about curcumin’s ability to stop Alzheimer’s disease. And I’ve told you many times in the past about quercetin, which can reduce your colon cancer risk. These two nutrients are bioflavonoids. But quercetin isn’t the only nutrient that can slow colon cancer. A new four-year study shows that other little-known bioflavonoids also stop colon cancer.

In this study, researchers followed 1,905 patients with a high risk for colon cancer. All of them had at least one confirmed colorectal adenoma within six months of the study. Adenomas are a significant risk factor for cancer. Then the researchers assessed the amount of flavonoids they were eating by using a food frequency questionnaire.
