EPIGENETIC CARE AND THE SCOURGE OF ALZHEIMER’S, HEART DISEASE, INFLAMMATION, AND CANCER
DRUGS FOR CHRONIC ILLNESS?
Alzheimer’s medications are completely impudent as a means of reversing, stopping, or even slowing down the disease. To me, it’s the cruelest and most merciless of all diseases. Those with the condition lost the ability to have thoughts, no longer possess memories of family and life’s experiences, the chance to live independently goes away, and the opportunity to live with purpose all disappear into a grim, joyless abyss where they no longer even know themselves.
Drugs here make little sense as it’s a chronic, degenerative illness. It’s a lifetime of malfunction and biochemical distortion that leads to this problem, certainly unsolvable in its latest stages by introducing more chemicals.
BIOLOGICAL NEMESIS
Alzheimer’s is caused by amyloid-beta and neurofibrillary tangles. The accumulation of a sticky plaque made up of a protein called amyloid-beta, destroys the brain’s synapses. Additionally, neurofibrillary tangles are the accumulation tau proteins that collect inside of the neurons. You may have heard of tau proteins in relationship to former NFL players that suffer from depression and mental decline following their careers.
You really need to know if you fall into a specific group that causes you to be radically more susceptible to this condition than others. First, due to “modern” living and lifestyles, 50% of people are eventually succumbing to this incredibly unhappy condition. If you carry the gene variant (allele) called ApoE4, you must take specific and aggressive action.
ApoE stands for apolipoprotein E. Apolipoproteins are the proteins that carries lipids (fats). ApoE4 is the strongest genetic risk factor we know for Alzheimer’s. If you are heterozygous, carrying the gene from one parent, your risk of Alzheimer’s goes up another 30%. If you are homozygous, carrying the gene from both parents, then the risk is as high as 90%.
HEART DISEASE, CANCER, AND INFLAMMATORY DISEASE
Perhaps the most major word of warning in this growing, apocalyptic-like illness is understanding it’s causes and etiology. The genes, inflammation, subluxation-causing neurological deficits and poor neuroplasticity, diet, stress, and sedentary lifestyle that lead to Alzheimer’s are directly implicated in similar scourges such as heart disease, cancer, and all inflammatory related illnesses as well.
THE WELL ALIGNED SOLUTION (To learn more about Well Aligned and becoming a Well Aligned Doctor – see below the article)
While medicine has made no progress, there are natural providers that are literally finding they can reverse the disease. As with all common health problems, epigenetics supersedes genetic tendencies and quality epigenetic care is our best chance to express health. At Well Aligned, for example, we can look at genes (Like ApoE4) and measure underlying causes in addition to subluxation such as inflammation, cardiometabolic health, and Vitamin D levels. Using this extremely vital information, we get a clear rendering of what is going on in someone’s body and can provide lifestyle action steps along with adjustments unique to them to give their body’s the best chance to stop, reverse, and heal from chronic illness.
EPIGENETIC CARE AND ALZHEIMER’S
When you look at the escalation of the disease, it only makes sense. On a given day, the average person has made 5-12 epigenetic lifestyle choices that send them galloping towards Alzheimer’s and the other chronic, degenerative illnesses. There are 12 areas of epigenetic care we focus on at Well Aligned to prevent and reduce these conditions I won’t get into hear. However, here is a synopsis:
4 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES
- Reduce Chronic Inflammation
- Optimize the nutrients the brain requires
- Minimize exposure to toxins and detoxify
- Overall health of the body: A degenerating spine, CVD, diabetes, obesity, Vit D deficiency, auto-immune disease, depression, and leaky gut all increase Alzheimer’s risks.
As you can see, this further emphasizes the importance of chiropractic. A healthy spine and nervous system is critical for optimizing all 4. Yet, as we see more and more chiropractors suffer from chronic disease at an early age along with their patients, its important to address key lifestyle areas head on in the potently toxic times we are living in.
Thankfully, no one is capable of becoming more equipped nor better able to understand the rationale behind this onslaught of chronic illness than doctors of chiropractic.
