The following notes are compiled by Marcus William. Seek your doctor always. Neurological disorders, neurological damages, and progressive neurological dysfunction are all possible side effects of antidepressant use. And, in fact, acute neurological dysfunction is the standard and clinically desired outcome of antidepressant use, which begins with the first dose administered. Continued use may beContinue reading “Can antidepressants cause neurodegenerative disease?”

Habits of highly effective brain by Alvaro Fernandez
Let’s review some good lifestyle options we can all follow to maintain, and improve, our vibrant brains. 1. Learn more about the “It” in “Use It or Lose It“. A basic understanding will serve you well to appreciate your brain’s beauty as a living and constantly-developing dense forest with billions of neurons and synapses. 2.Continue reading “Habits of highly effective brain by Alvaro Fernandez”
Exercise and Endocannabiniod system in the brain and Alzheimer’s
Endocannabinoid system The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of endogenous cannabinoid receptors located in the mammalian brain and throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, consisting of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors. Known as “the body’s own cannabinoid system”,[1] the ECS is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, andContinue reading “Exercise and Endocannabiniod system in the brain and Alzheimer’s”
Junk food harms memory in a week
Obesity Obesity may ultimately be a disease of the brain, involving a progressive deterioration of various cognitive processes that influence eating. Researchers at Macquarie University have now shown that memory inhibition – the useful ability to ‘block out’ memories that are no longer useful, which depends on a brain area called the hippocampus – isContinue reading “Junk food harms memory in a week”
Dry mouth and bad breath by Dr Mercola
The bothersome combination of dry mouth and bad breath, also known as xerostomia, can be chalked up as yet another common problem caused by prescription drug use. Xerostomia is not to be confused with halitosis, or bad breath, which is typically caused by systemic diseases, gastrointestinal and/or upper respiratory tract disorders, and microbial metabolism fromContinue reading “Dry mouth and bad breath by Dr Mercola”
Pomegranates, red raspberries, strawberries and walnuts anti-aging molecule
Your gut bacteria and molecule in pomegranates , oak-aged red wine, red raspberries, strawberries and walnuts have anti-aging properties (anti Alzheimer’s and anti Parkinson’s). Urolithins are microflora human metabolites of dietary ellagic acid derivatives[1] such as ellagitannins. They are produced in the human gut, and found in the urine in the form of urolithin B glucuronideContinue reading “Pomegranates, red raspberries, strawberries and walnuts anti-aging molecule”
Diet and exercise for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson
Recent studies report that diet can mediate the vasculoplastic reserve of the hippocampus. For example, consuming high levels of cocoa flavanols increased capillary density and enhanced dentate gyrus-associated cognitive function in cognitively normal healthy subjects. This suggests an interaction between vasculoplasticity and neuronal plasticity during normal aging and dementia, but how this relationship is affectedContinue reading “Diet and exercise for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson”
Group discount for nanny and caregivers
If there are more than one employee needing a nanny/caregiver in a company anywhere in the USA, Motherhealth can provide the service (nanny or caregiver). Companies are encouraged to support some percentage of the expenses in caregiving to promote wellness and increase productivity among their employees. Motherhealth strives to promote the same goal while beingContinue reading “Group discount for nanny and caregivers”
Anti-psychotic drug and Parkinsonism
Since their development in the 1950s, antipsychotic drugs have been widely used to treat psychoses and neuropsychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. A debilitating side-effect of these drugs called parkinsonism limits their efficacy. University of California, Irvine scientists led by Emiliana Borrelli and colleagues have discovered the key cellular mechanism that underlies the antipsychotic-induced parkinsonism – whichContinue reading “Anti-psychotic drug and Parkinsonism”
Diet for the elderly
A personalised nutrition approach Micronutrients such as zinc, copper and selenium play a pivotal role in a range of physiological functions and maintain immune and antioxidant systems (Eugenio Mocchegiani et al.). The complex interactions between micronutrients and genes could help in understanding how best to use nutrients as supplements in clinical practice. Further genetic andContinue reading “Diet for the elderly”
The Power of Music Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease
By Esther Hereema Do you have a loved one with Alzheimer’s or another kind of dementia? If so, you may be interested to know that music might be able to connect you with your family member in a way that words cannot. Many research studies, as well as anecdotal evidence, have cited situations where musicContinue reading “The Power of Music Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease”
Gut bacteria linked to chronic disease
Cleveland Clinic researchers have, for the first time, linked trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) — a gut metabolite formed during the digestion of egg-, red meat- or dairy-derived nutrients choline and carnitine — to chronic kidney disease. TMAO has been linked to heart disease already, with blood levels shown to be a powerful tool for predicting futureContinue reading “Gut bacteria linked to chronic disease”
Blocking c-Abl enzyme prevents Parkinson
There were indications that c-Abl activity leads to Parkinson’s disease, and our experiments show there is indeed a connection,” says Ted Dawson, M.D., Ph.D., professor of neurology and director of the Institute for Cell Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. “There is already a Food and Drug Administration-approved c-Abl inhibiting drug inContinue reading “Blocking c-Abl enzyme prevents Parkinson”
Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis by Dr Mercola
Eczema (atopic dermatitis), and the closely associated psoriasis, are two very common skin problems. Both eczema and psoriasis are potentially allergic conditions that can be triggered by environmental factors and dozens of other external irritants like: Laundry detergent Soaps Household chemicals Workplace chemicals Perfumes Animal dander Metals (such as nickel in jewelry) While psoriasis isContinue reading “Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis by Dr Mercola”
