We’ve become so concerned with the visible effects of aging that most of us are overlooking the decline of the most important organ that is truly aging before its time – our brain!
Do you suffer from any of these complaints:
- Slower comprehension
- Confusion
- Difficult concentration
- Easily distracted
- Weakness or slowness of memory
- Cannot remember what you were about to do or say
- Forgetfulness for short term events
- Forgetfulness for long term events[gn_pullquote align=”right”]Just because it has become commonplace doesn’t mean it’s good health![/gn_pullquote]
- Lack of or poor focus
- Short attention span
- Saying the wrong word or phrase
- Getting left and right confused
- Speaking words in the wrong order
- Garbled speech or thoughts
If you are suffering from one or more of these symptoms, then you have some degree of brain aging! These types of “brain malfunctions” have become so commonplace that many think of them as normal. It’s now so “normal” that children, teens and twenty-somethings are showing these symptoms. Just because it has become commonplace doesn’t mean it’s good health
In clinic, we hear these complaints from nearly all of our clients. In response, with Mr. Mueller’s help, I have compiled this list that will help you identify/remove/change things in your life which cause your brain to age prematurely.
There’s No Shame
First, I feel it’s important to mention that many people feel ashamed at admitting they have memory issues. No one wants to think of themselves as “weak minded”, “mentally ill”, mentally sick or even brain damaged, right? But that very shame you may feel, or even that denial you may have about just how bad your symptoms have become is …JUST A SYMPTOM! A homeopath would use this to help find a remedy to help you…hmm, shame coupled with memory problems and perhaps denial… the homeopathic remedy Lycopodium comes to mind!
Whatever you call it
Memory loss, poor memory, pre-senility, early onset dementia, dementia, forgetfulness, comprehension issues, frontal temporal dementia, Alzheimer’s, attention deficit, ADHD, lack of concentration, lack of focus, easily distracted, feeling overwhelmed at dealing with simple tasks, feeling overwhelmed with life, etc.
There are many causes, some more substantial than others. Some of which you can avoid simply by making a few changes in your lifestyle and diet. Here are a few suggestions to help you recover a more youthful mind, help “sharpen your pencil” and make you a mental tri-athlete!!
Eating Organic Food
It’s an unfortunate state of the world when our conventional produce has become so poisoned, and so devoid of nutrients that it’s really no longer safe or fit for consumption, but that is what has happened to our food supplies.
Conventionally grown produce is so full of toxic pesticide and herbicide residue, that studies are showing alarming levels of these very harmful substances in everyone’s bodies! These chemicals accumulate in the brain and nervous system. Pesticide residue has been linked to Alzheimers, Parkinsons & Multiple Sclerosis, and other brain or neurological diseases. In addition, pesticide exposure has been linked to organ failure and so many chronic degenerative diseases. Examples of the most common ones are fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and all those unnamed, inexplicable symptoms of an aging body.

Then there are GMOs
The insertion of Genetically Modified Organisms into our food supply has literally “let the genie out of the bottle”. Studies have already linked GMOs to autism, food allergies, asthma, lowered intelligence, lowered immunity, miscarriages, birth defects, other reproductive and digestive health damage, liver damage and so much more.

If you still don’t believe how harmful GMOs are, then why would the entire country of Russia BAN the use GMO crops?
The ONLY way to AVOID GMOs in your food it to eat organically grown food, organically fed meats, and/or at the very least, buy only produce, meats and prepared foods that are certified “GMO FREE”.
Avoid MSG in all forms
What is MSG? Well that topic is worthy of an entire book or even it’s own website! (well, there is at least one person who has done just that!) Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a neurological excitotoxin, meaning it stimulates and poisons the nervous system. It’s hidden use has become so commonplace, that it takes vigilance and attention to avoid it. It literally has dozens of names. It is likely contained in hundreds of other ingredient names.
It has become “insidious”, if you will, in our food supply. Eating out at any restaurant is almost a guarantee of exposure to MSG. It is even sprayed on non-organic produce. This is all the more reason to eat an organic diet.
Long-term exposure to MSG ages the brain and the body, causes strokes, high blood pressure, brain damage, hardening of the brain neurological damage and more. Learn more about MSG and it’s common “hidden forms” from a blog we recently posted. You may also wish to visit www.truthinlabeling.com to learn more.
After exposure to MSG, you can antidote it by using homeopathic MSG in the 30C potency. This is a homeopathic remedy made from the poison MSG and potentized into a safe, and healing remedy that can help you combat symptoms from exposure to this substance. Take a dose after exposure and make sure to drink lots of water to help flush this poison out of your system. Repeat as needed.
LOVE the Blog!!!! GREAT JOB ;-))))

I ran across your article on MSG and polio and it started me thinking about my sensitivity to MSG and my overly sensitive nervous system. Do you feel that the homeopathic remedy MSG would help in my case ( because like cures like)? If so, where would I find the remedy to purchase it? Thank you for your time and consideration. Pam
