Vaccine triggers immune response, prevents Alzheimer's in mice |
|
|
Comments by J. C. Spencer Research in Alzheimer’s and every disease known to man continues to support the fact that modulating the immune system is THE KEY to addressing sickness and disease. The following report out of the University of Rochester Medical Center evidences the lack of amyloid plaque in the brain in mice when the immune response is improved. There is a mad rush to create vaccines to do what nature intended for our bodies to do through proper nutrition. This report supports part of the reason The Endowment for Medical Research had such success with Alzheimer’s patients who participated in the Nutritional Pilot Surveys. Vaccine triggers immune response, prevents Alzheimer's in mice
A vaccine created by University of Rochester Medical Center scientists prevents the development of Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology in mice without causing inflammation or significant side effects. Vaccinated mice generated an immune response to the protein known as amyloid-beta peptide, which accumulates in what are called “amyloid plaques” in brains of people with Alzheimer’s. The vaccinated mice demonstrated normal learning skills and functioning memory in spite of being genetically designed to develop an aggressive form of the disease. The Rochester scientists reported the findings in an article in the May issue of Molecular Therapy, the journal of The American Society of Gene Therapy. |

Get a smart start on the day |
|
|
Comments by J. C. Spencer This Harvard Health Letter offers some good information about the importance of your getting a smart start on the day. Ways of improving on this smart breakfast is to add the healthful sugar trehalose to the cereal (replacing regular sugar). Put trehalose in your tea or coffee (or coffee substitute). If you want a really smart start you can do what I did this morning for my hot morning beverage. I heated water (not in the micro-wave) to pour over a couple of tablespoons of raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar with six tablespoons of trehalose. Add to this breakfast a well rounded supplementation of quality vitamins and minerals and other supplements are deemed be beneficial. Get a smart start on the day A morning meal that includes whole grains can have long-term benefits for your health Harvard Heart Letter
A breakfast centered around whole grains can get your engine running and keep your heart ticking. Breakfast holds a special place in the daily trio of main meals. It's more than just an eye-opener that helps you make the transition from sweet sleep to the day ahead. Coming as it does after the day's longest period without food, breakfast appears to influence metabolism more strongly than lunch or dinner. Its effects on blood sugar, insulin and appetite echo throughout the day. Getting a smart start in the morning may have an even longer term payoff -- protection against heart disease and possibly a longer, healthier life. |

Impacted Forever Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and all Human Health |

Comments by J. C. Spencer
 Francis S. Collins, MD, PhD The work of Dr. Francis Collins over the last fifteen years will forever impact Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, ALS, ADD, ADHD, dementia, neurodegenerative diseases and the future of human health.
Dr. Francis Collins has helped Sir Isaac Newton in ways neither would have ever dreamed. Mapping the Human Genome during his fifteen years with NIH (National Institutes of Health) has brought Dr. Collins from atheism to Christianity. Sir Isaac Newton said, “The purpose of science is to seek to understand the mind of God.”
The genome project and glycomics, the science of sugars, are merging as the two sciences that will forever change human thinking. Genomics is the code of all life as found in the DNA. Glycomics is the OS (operating system) to read the code. What a joy is would be for scientists like Francis Collins to join us in our quest to improve life and health through the merging of these two sciences.
"Watching our own DNA instruction book emerge letter by letter provided a profound sense of awe unlike anything I could have imagined. It was, after all, reading the language of God," Collins told Bob Abernethy, host of PBS' "Religion and Ethics News Weekly." Indeed, the title of his 2006 book is "The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief."

Truth Area in Brain Discovered |
|
|
Comments by J. C. Spencer
Researchers in brain function at the California Institute of Technology have discovered the region of the brain where struggles with emotion takes place. This newly published university research helps substantiate Chapter Nine in my book Expand Your Mind - Improve Your Brain. ScienceDaily calls this How Fairness Is Wired In The Brain. I called it Your neurons are HARD WIRED for Truth.
(Quote from Chapter Nine)
False signals, sooner or later, develop into chaos. Lack of any communication is more trust worthy than miscommunication. False signals make it so you do not know where you are going and that is where you are likely to end up.
Your neurons are HARD WIRED for Truth, and Truth is what holds all things together. A few years ago I wrote these words: Total Truth gives no false signals. The flow of even the slightest false witness gives the wrong signal and initiates the flow of wrong energy and matter. Opinions do not count as Truth. Because nothing is as it appears, what you perceive as reality is in fact, at least in part, an illusion. Untruth is an illusion paralleled with deception.*
The main function between components and systems is to flow Truth (no false signals), energy, and matter needed by the other components and systems.

Sugar substitutes are taking the heat |
|

Comments by J. C. Spencer
Sugar substitutes are taking the heat for what the Sugar Association calls deceptive advertising and untruthful claims. The informed individual becomes the educated consumer. Glycomics, the science of sugars, helps answer the questions of what is healthful sugars, harmful sugars, and what I call Royal Sugars in my book Expand Your Mind - Improve Your Brain. The Endowment for Medical Research in Houston, Texas is developing an advanced educational website on the science of sugars at www.endowmentmed.org
Now, here is the news on the battle against Splenda by the Sugar Association.
The Sugar Association Applauds California Assembly Health Committee's Plans to Hold Hearings on Deceptive Advertising of Artificial Sweeteners
WASHINGTON, May 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Mark Lanier, who was recently honored with the Massachusetts Trial Lawyers Association's 2008 Consumer Advocacy Award and who is a trial lawyer for the Washington-based Sugar Association, representing thousands of sugar farmers from across the nation, applauded the decision of the California Assembly Committee on Health to hold hearings in California concerning the use of deceptive advertising by makers of artificial sweeteners such as Splenda. |

Laminin |
|

Comments by J. C. Spencer
LAMININ has been causing some rather interesting chatter on the internet lately. Before I heard the chatter, I reported on a paper I wrote in 1996 about the glue that holds the human cells together and without it there is aging, disease, and death. The laminin protein chains give a design that accounts for a lot of its flexibility in connecting up various kinds of molecules. Because of this, scientists are extremely interested in the whole family of laminins. They are a family of glycoproteins that are an integral part of the structural scaffolding in almost every human cell.
I do not object to the chatter on the internet about laminin and its shape. Though interesting, I do not get excited about its shape as much as about what it does and how without it we would not know life as we do. Of course, it is its shape that makes it all possible.
The abstract below from a science paper out of France shows how the sugar N-acetylneuraminic acid also known as sialic acid aids the immune system. Without this assistance the immune system would not be strong enough to fight off the fungal conidia.

Brain Function and the Fluoride Connection |
|

Comments by J. C. Spencer Improving brain function holds the key to a better longer healthier life. Helping others improve brain function is what The Endowment for Medical Research is all about. Published papers verify that we have improved brain function in Alzheimer’s patients with glycomics (the science of sugars). www.endowmentmed.org Good nutrition replacing junk food is important. Cutting off the supply line of the enemy is a good way to win a battle. If you cut off the supply line of toxins coming into your body, you have a better opportunity of winning the battle for optimal health. I have a dear friend who lost his wife from second hand smoke. Toxins are coming at us from the air, from the water, from the food, and from the stress of knowing that toxins are in the air, water, and food. So, relax and take authority over what comes into your body.
Did you know that psychotropic drugs are fluoride products? Prozac is made from fluoride that we find in toothpaste and drinking water. Much of my NEWS comes from World Net Daily and today they report on why there is so much depression, fuzzy thinking, mental challenges, and compounding health problems. This information is worth your time. |
