A Nutritional Approach to Alzheimer's Disease

A presentation by Steve Blake, Sc.D..
Alzheimer's disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. Care for its victims costs more than the expense of heart disease and cancer combined. This class and slide show is based on the latest scientific research from leading journals worldwide. Find out which two nutrients are crucial for lowering the buildup of amyloid plaques. You will learn how to lower your risk by increasing your intake of antioxidant fruits, vegetables, and seeds. Lowering saturated fats in the diet can result in better blood flow to the brain. See studies that show which supplements and medical plants have been shown to be effective in reducing the risk and progression of this common dementia. Dr. Blake has just returned from presenting this information about Alzheimer's disease to teaching hospitals on the East Coast.
Steve Blake has a doctorate in holistic health and a doctorate in naturopathic medicine. His area of interest is nutritional biochemistry. He offers classes at the University of Hawaii VITEC program. Dr. Blake is the author of the 2008 McGraw Hill college textbook Vitamins and Minerals Demystified. He has just completed writing Understanding Dietary Fats and Oils: A Scientific Guide to their Health Effects. He is also the author of Healing Medicine. He has a huge database on medicinal plant use around the world. Dr. Blake programmed the Diet Doctor 2011, software for graphing dietary nutrients. He is often heard on radio and seen on television

THC, CBD, cannabinoids, endocannabinoids, eicosanoids, terpenes, anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatories.....

All these things in cannabis plants (hemp seeds, resin oil, juiced leaves, inhaled smoke/vapor)

and you can't mention them?

Ahh.. what an amazing video otherwise.

cannabis compounds "cannabinoids" mimic endocannabinoids, which are also called "eicosanoids" and are metabolites of "essential omega acids" of which hemp seed contains a perfect/comple/ideal ratio for human consumption.

nuts do contribute to weight gain when eaten in excess. they are calorically dense. I truly admire Dr. Greger, but I'll stick with the advice of reknowned Cardiac surgeon, Dr. Essylstyn, Dr. John McDougall and Jeff Novick. Excess calories promote weight gain. Nuts are calorically dense. Peanut butter is 180 calories per serving. People with excess weight must cut calories to lose weight. With due respect Mr. Blake appears to have a higher BMI than the above.

@HulasFan Nuts don't contribute to weight gain. The actually promote weight loss. I can't link directly to Dr. Greger's video. Cut & paste this into the youtube search box; dr. greger nutritionfactsorg is peanut butter good for you

Just noticed something I missed the first time. ( I didn't click dislike though. I still give this a thumbs up!) Steve says that Dr. McDougall's plan is deficient in vitamin C. When Dr. Harris of VSH analyzed the nutritional values of my eating plan I came in at over 100% of each and every vitamin and mineral he entered. INCLUDING Vitamin C! For the past 3 years I have been 100% on the McDougall plan. Nuts are calorically dense and seem to cause excess weight on their proponents
