Been doing the “Bulletproof Coffee” thing in the morning only along with a vitamin regime and a strict ketogenic diet ....... best I’ve felt in a long time.
My mother’s dementia and mood have improved markedly on turmeric, two+ years now. I have her gerontologist sold on it.
Get 95% standardized curcumin and take one or two capsules.
It’s interesting to look at the map of the Americas. You get out of the high populations of Canada and the USA and go down to Mexico which is in the mid range. You travel through Central America into the northwest part of South America and it’s low, except for Costa Rica which is high. The rest of South American looks like North America.
The question is, why?
I have the ringing from Meniere’s disease as well. It seems to grow progressively worse every year.
How many mg of acetl-l-carnitine are you taking and how often.
Most chocolate that you buy in the store is not going to be helpful. Studies have shown, however, that cocoa (in moderation) has a number of health benefits, but you need to get the kind which has not been processed with alkali. Also, I recall that the proteins in dairy can bind with the polyphenols in cocao and interfere with their absorption. So it is best to drink it alone, or maybe with a little coconut or almond milk. I’ve also eaten it by mixing the powder with coconut oil and honey or maple syrup to make my own “chocolate.” That’s actually fairly tasty, but you need to experiment with it to get a decent consistency and the right level of sweetness. You can also try adding some crushed walnuts.
likely its related to diet.
What is poor little Costa Rica doing wrong that all her surrounding neighbors are doing right?

Not sure of the spices, maybe it’s the number of lashes you get for punishment.
People on blood thinners should avoid turmeric. It doesn’t take a lot to kill you.
Exactly. The article says small doses but what is small? Does using it in cooking ruin the process? Heard about this before but never can nail down the amount or exactly how to use it.
Why not take tumeric curcumin to avoid blood thinners?
It’s also supposed to help prevent some cancers.
anyone on warfarin (Coumadin) or other anticoagulants should steer clear of turmeric or curcumin. Although this spice has anti-inflammatory properties, it also can magnify the effect of these anti-clotting medications.

In many countries people die from a lot of causes at early ages that prevent them from ever contracting Alzheimer’s.
From the article “ as evidenced by the fact that this drug class carries an alarmingly high risk of causing seizures, according to World Health Organization post-marketing surveillance statistics.”
I was taking turmeric twice a day when I started seeing my neurologist for seizures. I also told her about the bad nerve pain in my leg. She told me to increase the turmeric to 3 times per day. She was very impressed with the supplements I was/am taking when my other doctors thought I was wasting my money. 3 times per day seems to have stopped the nerve pain.
I think she is more open to some supplements because she is from India and practices western medicine with a little eastern thrown in. She went to medical school in India or Pakistan. I can’t remember which country.
I have not had any increase in the number or strength of the seizures since I began taking turmeric and this is the first time I have heard of any damage of seizures. They are finally under control, I cut out the diet drinks and now only have an occasional seizure. The goal is no seizures but going from seizures a couple times a week to maybe every 2-3 months is fine with me.
I also have psoriasis. The herb/supplement is great.
My DIL is on the strongest pain meds available and she thinks the turemic helps the most. I buy her a very good brand because she can’t afford it and it seems to really help.
If I had to give up all but 5 supplements tumeric is one that I would keep.
