Is Dirty Electricity poisoning you?

Almost thirty years ago I wrote about toxic EMF. I shocked the editor of the magazine. The section on toxic EMF was barely a few paragraphs in a five thousand word article on environmental toxicity.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

In 2014, I published my Amazon bestselling book “Protecting Yourself and Your Family against Radiation Toxicity”. 

Dr. Magda Havas, a scientist who works at Trent University in Canada, warned more than 15 years ago, that “dirty electricity” (DE) is a new “ubiquitous pollutant” which deserves to be studied more closely. DE is the new smoking disease.

Her study presented several anecdotal reports and case studies where people who reduced their exposure to dirty electricity – sometimes by using special filters which help minimize this type of EMF – saw positive changes in their everyday symptoms and brain function. (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity)                                                           

Dr. Havas explains:
“Once dirty electricity is reduced, people’s health improves. For some it is reflected in more normal blood sugar levels, for others symptoms of MS are reduced, and for still others tinnitus disappears and behavior resembling ADD/ADHD improves. Since dirty electricity is becoming ubiquitous, large fractions of the population are being exposed to this pollutant and some are being adversely affected.”

“Diabetes, multiple sclerosis, ADD/ADHD, asthma, chronic fatigue, and fibromyalgia are all increasing in the population and the reasons for this increase are poorly understood. Dirty electricity may be one of the contributors to these illnesses.”

In various studies, certain strains of E.coli and Staph became more resistant to antibiotics after being exposed to a Wi-Fi router, or cell phone radiation. Given the incredible problem that antibiotic-resistance represents around the world, it’s stunning that these studies have not led to more reaction from governments.

For example, “economic losses of about $20 billion have been recorded in the US, while losses of about $35 billion annually have also been recorded in terms of lost productivity due to antibiotic resistance in health care systems.” (4)

Instead, most modern hospitals have been busy… INCREASING how many wireless-emitting devices they use.

We do need more research. We do not know for sure, even to this day, how much DE is contributing to the above illnesses. And the reality is that there is very little on-going research specifically on DE… most of the EMF studies are focused on cell phones, cell towers, Wi-Fi and other sources of wireless radiation.

But the question is, as always, what should we do right now, as a preventative measure, while we “wait for more research to come out?”

You can choose to do nothing, and wait. That’s perfectly valid, and is a personal choice.

Our current EMF safety guidelines simply do not protect the population against short-term or long-term negative health impacts. Therefore, all we know for sure is that “there is no known ‘safe’ level of man-made EMF exposure.”

Independent EMF scientists estimate that anywhere from 3-10% of the population may be hyper-sensitive to EMFs in general. Others like Havas say that 35% of the entire population likely already experiences mild to moderate symptoms. We simply do not know which frequencies are the worst for these people, and DE could be an important (hidden) trigger.

The precautionary principle has been ignored so many times in the past and caused immense harm. So…taking action before we reach “scientific certainty”, or “identify causality,” is the smartest way to go.  Doctors in environmental medicine and/or who are very aware of electro-hypersensitivity have identified that DE reduction can sometimes help reduce symptoms for people with neurological diseases. The information is not published in journals, and yet, I cannot ignore it.

I have personally connected with countless individuals who claim to be electro-hypersensitive, and who also claim that reducing DE has helped them. Let us help you check if “dirty electricity” (DE) could be affecting you.

The Root Cause of Chronic Dis-ease

      No Comments on The Root Cause of Chronic Dis-ease

One of the most significant game-changing wisdom bombs I learned on in my research was was this…

The widely taught school of thought is that inflammation is the root cause of chronic dis-ease. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/our-assessment-methods                     

While it’s a factor , it’s not the catalyst of dysfunction but a by product.
So, what’s THE real culprit? It’s impaired energy production (aka mitochondrial dysfunction).  How so?  Well, think about it…

Energy is the foundation of life, and life begins with cells. Just as our smartphones don’t function well with a low charge , neither do our cells, specifically mitochondria, the cell’s energy powerhouses.

Without ample voltage, cells can’t perform their many health-supportive jobs, with detoxification, immune function, and tissue regeneration as the most critical functions.
This fallout is chronic inflammation – making it a symptomversus a root cause .
And this leads the way to the cell danger response model of chronic disease.

In a nutshell, when mitochondria sense more threat than safety, they shift out of energy-producing mode and into the direction of defence mode, where all functions are downregulated or halted in extreme scenarios.

The keyto resolving chronic inflammation is to turn turn off the cell danger response   switch by creating internal and external environments that foster more safety than threat.  Threats include physiological, psychological, and environmental factors.

So, where does one begin?  Well, this is a BIG question, and it will look differently for everyone, but I’d say the TOP 5 places to start are as follows:

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/

  1. Optimize Nutrition. — Cells run on nutrients. If we consume foods that are not biologically compatible and/or that we can’t optimally digest, they irritate the gut lining, activate the immune system, lead to intestinal permeability, and threaten the system.

    NOTE: If your gut is damaged, fibrous and starchy foods are likely NOT strategic for you at this time.

    2. Take Inventory of Your Life. This is critical as we cannot continue to invest our energy in things, habits, processes, people, and situations that drain more energy than they give and expect to be and/or stay well.

    3. Assess and Balance Minerals. Minerals are CORE NUTRIENTS and the sparkplugs of energy production. Cells can’t hold a charge when minerals become depleted and/or deranged; minerals are mirrors to both the physical and emotional body—AND they don’t lie!.The best place to begin is with Oligoscan interpreted and implemented within a trauma-informed, whole-person approach — which we use in our clinic. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

    4. Reduce the Body’s Stress Load — Stress is stored in the body within the musculature and fascia. Without a consistent practice to release it, it accumulates and creates issues in our tissues. While releasing stored stress is multifaceted, daily restorative movement practices such as walking, stretching, and specific trauma-release exercises, such as TRE® (Trauma Release Exercises), are essential. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity                                                          
    5. Implement Mitochondrial Restoration Strategies — My top ten picks for these are:
  2. Optimal Nutrition (I can’t emphasize this one enough!)

Sense of SAFETY within relationships                       Sleep & REST

Restorative Movement                                                Sunlight

Vit D Lamp (when the sun isn’t available)                   Red Light Therapy

IR Sauna                                                                     Earthing

Breath Work                                                                 CoQ10

Detox Your Way to Wellness

      No Comments on Detox Your Way to Wellness

We will shed light on the often overlooked but important issue of environmental toxicity and its impact on our health. As a naturopath, one of my primary concerns is ensuring overall well-being. Today, we will explore the various diseases associated with environmental toxins such as heavy metals, pesticides, and air pollution from our thirty-five years of experience.

https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/our-assessment-methods

With the National Institutes of Health (NIH) stating that up to 93% of all human cancers are not genetic, it’s clear that the environment plays a significant role in the disease’s prevalence. 

Everyday, without even realizing it, you’re exposed to environmental toxins.

They’re everywhere:

  • Mercury in your dental fillings or certain fish you love
  • Arsenic hiding in your favorite dishes
  • Parasites lurking in your food and water
  • Lead in old pipes and paints in your house
  • Toxins from everyday environmental exposure
  • Aluminum in beauty products such as lipstick and antiperspirants
  • Cadmium in furniture, mattresses, and e-cigarettes

It’s nearly impossible to dodge heavy metals, toxins, and parasites in our modern world. The overwhelming presence of environmental toxins could be affecting you. How do you know if you are affected?  https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

Chronic fatigue syndrome?

Feeling weak in the muscles?

Unexplained aches and pain?

Often finding yourself in a “brain fog”?

Cognitive and neurological disorders

Digestive problems and allergies?

Unexplained headaches or mood swings?

Irregular menses or hormonal swings?

Kidney damage and cardiovascular issues?

Environmental toxins pose a significant threat to our overall and brain health, but awareness and taking preventive measures can safeguard us from their adverse effects. By implementing simple changes in our daily lives, such as opting for organic produce, purifying our air and water, and limiting exposure to toxic substances, we can minimize the risks associated with environmental toxicity.  https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity                               

Consult with a naturopath or healthcare professional for personalized guidance on detoxification and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Remember, prevention is always better than cure when it comes to environmental toxicity and its impact on our well-being. Stay safe, stay healthy! https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/

Your Glymphatic System and Sleep

      No Comments on Your Glymphatic System and Sleep

Are you among the millions of people who wrestle with the frustrating, energy-draining issue of elusive sleep?

When you don’t sleep well, it’s not just fatigue and brain fog that you need to worry about; the repercussions echo throughout your entire body! https://blog.drsundardas.com/does-your-sleep-refresh-you/

Poor sleep can hamper your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections. It can disrupt your hormones, leading to mood swings and weight gain, and can impact your appetite

Lack of sleep is linked to an increased risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. It can affect your cognitive functions, impairing memory, attention, and decision-making abilities

Lack of sleep puts your emotional well-being at stake, as sleep deprivation can trigger stress, anxiety, and depression.  https://blog.drsundardas.com/is-your-nervous-system-running-you-down/

Lastly, poor sleep hinders the body’s repair work — tissue growth, muscle repair, and synthesis of essential molecules all happen during sleep

When your sleep quality dwindles, your overall health and wellness pay the price!

Deep sleep plays a crucial role in the optimal functioning of the brain microbiome, including necessary nightly brain detoxification. And when you don’t get it, your body suffers.

But how?

The glymphatic system is one of the key systems working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure your brain’s health.

Unearthed only in 2015, the glymphatic system’s waste clearance powerhouse facilitates the nightly removal of toxins and metabolic waste from the brain. Its work, however, doesn’t stop there. It also has structural and functional features that may be connected with neurological and neurodegenerative conditions .It enhance neuroplasticity.  (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity)           

But here’s the catch — the glymphatic system becomes active when we are in either deep sleep or REM. This is where dreaming, a component of REM sleep, plays a critical role in supporting proper brain detoxification. Dreams are a conduit to another dimension of thinking, removing waste, promoting brain detoxification, and restoring psychological balance. A well-balanced mind necessitates dreaming.

GABA: A crucial neurotransmitter in the brain known for its role in learning, memory, and particularly long-term memory.

L-THEANINE: An amino acid well known to promote restful sleep and improve certain aspects of cognitive function, like attention and memory

People who use formulas that include the above report experiencing ease in falling asleep, improved quality of sleep, increased energy upon awakening, improved mood, focus, and attention, and increased quality and quantity of dreams.

These products also calm an overloaded nervous system and maintains internal balance. It influences deeper sleep, which further supports the glymphatic system, a key route of detoxification for stress-induced toxins.

This all contributes to rejuvenating your body’s built-in mechanisms to detoxify and heal, ensuring restorative sleep and energetic mornings.

We have helped individuals recover from chronic sleep issues with a combinations of functional medicine and osteopathic techniques

Healing and Detoxification

      No Comments on Healing and Detoxification

When it comes to long term healing, it’s crucial to address the various sources of toxins that can unknowingly affect their daily lives. From household products and furniture to water, air, food, and personal care items, these environmental toxins can have a profound impact on physical, mental well-being and lifespan.. That is why we’d like to start by discussing how these hidden toxins can influence emotional health and share actionable strategies to reduce their impact. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/oligoscan

Household Cleaners: Many household cleaners contain neurotoxic and carcinogenic chemicals that can impair cognitive function and contribute to mood disorders. Opt for natural alternatives to minimize exposure.

Furniture and Carpets: Chemicals emitted from furniture, carpets, and appliances (like flame retardants and formaldehyde) have been associated with respiratory issues, hormonal disruption, and even neurological problems like memory loss and mood swings.

Water Quality: Contaminants in city water, such as fluoride and chlorine, can affect neurotransmitter function and hormone balance, impacting mood and cognitive health. Consider investing in a water filtration system.

Air Quality: Poor indoor air quality due to trapped chemicals and mold can lead to symptoms like fatigue, irritability, and cognitive impairment, affecting mental clarity and emotional stability.

  1.  Mould Exposure: Mold toxins can disrupt hormonal signaling and cause inflammation, leading to symptoms like anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction.
  2. Toxic Food: Pesticides and herbicides in food, like glyphosate, can negatively impact gut health and contribute to mood disorders by affecting neurotransmitter production.
  3. Plastic Exposure: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in plastics can interfere with hormone regulation, potentially leading to mood swings, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
  4. Mercury Exposure: Mercury from sources like amalgam fillings and contaminated seafood can impair cognitive function and exacerbate mood disorders.
  5. Vaccine Ingredients: Some vaccine ingredients, such as aluminium and formaldehyde, can trigger immune responses that impact neurological health, potentially affecting mood and behaviour.
  6. Personal Care Products: Chemicals like phthalates and parabens in beauty and hygiene products can disrupt hormone balance and contribute to mood disturbances.

To mitigate these risks and support mental health, reduce toxicity and inflammation, we recommend adopting the following strategies: https://blog.drsundardas.com/environmental-toxins-and-your-gut/

  • Choose natural and non-toxic household cleaners, furniture, and personal care products.
  • Invest in water and air filtration systems to reduce exposure to contaminants.
  • Maintain good ventilation in indoor spaces to minimize mould and chemical build-up.
  • Prioritize organic, pesticide-free foods to reduce exposure to harmful chemicals.
  • Advocate for safe vaccination practices and consider detoxification protocols when necessary.
  • Encourage the use of glass, stainless steel, or BPA-free containers for food and drinks.
  • Educate clients on the potential mental health impacts of environmental toxins and help them make informed lifestyle choices.

Understanding these connections is crucial for promoting overall health and mental well-being and your gut brain. https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity.

I would encourage you to adopt safer alternatives and detoxifying practices can have profound effects on their mental clarity, mood stability, and overall vitality.

Inflammation and your Gut Health

      No Comments on Inflammation and your Gut Health

Have you ever wondered about the relationship between your gut health and your overall well-being?

Does it feel like no matter how healthy you eat or how many “health tricks” you try…

Your gut pain still feels unbearable?

I´m not talking about mild, occasional stomach cramps. I´m talking about extreme, life-crippling cramps.

Ones that make your gut feel like it’s being squeezed in a vice grip. Where it´s so intense… you feel like passing out in cold sweats. If you’re relying on common remedies to ease this, you might be making a massive mistake.

Most “solutions” are just temporary fixes. They just cover up symptoms rather than addressing the underlying issues. When your gut pain is this severe and persistent. It’s a sign that your gut environment may be severely compromised.

The best way to actually find long-lasting improvement is by rebuilding your gut in the most natural way possible!

We’ve developed a straightforward, protocol that has been scientifically proven to:

• Repair your gut lining—creating a strong barrier against irritants.
https://blog.drsundardas.com/facts-about-leaky-gut-every-person-should-know-to-improve-gut-health/

• Strengthen your microbiome—for better digestion and health.
https://blog.drsundardas.com/the-benefits-of-fermented-foods-for-gut-health/

• Improve nutrient absorption—get more from your food.
https://blog.drsundardas.com/your-gut-brain-and-you/

• Support your immune system—keep illnesses at bay.

• Reduce deadly inflammation—cut down the root of pain.
https://blog.drsundardas.com/environmental-toxins-and-your-gut/

There’s one big problem with inflammation that you won’t hear often. Finding out if you have it, most of the time, requires some detective work! Some signs can be obvious: redness, swelling, or feeling hot to the touch. But, some of the signs can mimic other conditions and are too subtle to notice.

In fact, symptoms like eczema, psoriasis, diarrhoea, constipation, fatigue, depression, arthritis, brain fog, and joint issues all point to one underlying cause…

Chronic inflammation!

So many people are not aware they have any inflammation until they run lab tests.
And do you know the biggest driver of chronic inflammation? A dysfunctional gut!

These symptoms are alarm bells of your body letting you know that something is not right in your gut. And if you continue to ignore your gut health, these inflammatory symptoms will only progress until you’re forced to stop and listen.

Unfortunately, most people don’t know how to stop inflammation in its tracks.

Recent scientific advancements have shed light on a once controversial topic – the legitimacy of leaky gut syndrome (also known as intestinal permeability) and its systemic consequences. Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to understand how this condition impacts not only your digestive system but your entire body!

In our consultations and testing: you will learn:

• About the factors contributing to leaky gut and its association with various health conditions.

• How leaky gut occurs? You will have the opportunity to explore how disruptions in the intestinal barrier can lead to increased permeability, triggering immune responses and inflammation throughout the body.

• How to treat leaky gut? You will discover practical strategies to support and optimize your gut health, including dietary changes, stress management techniques, natural supplements, lifestyle modifications and so much more.

The Total Trauma Solution

      No Comments on The Total Trauma Solution

Imagine missing a vacation to Tahiti with your partner because of your debilitating fear of flying. Picture a teen who isolates at home and misses out on formative friendships because of their overwhelming social phobia. Imagine if someone you love failed to get a life-saving medical procedure or had a breakdown because of their nervousness about medical treatments. https://blog.drsundardas.com/why-people-experience-emotional-breakdowns/ 

Untreated phobias and traumas are serious and potentially devastating. As a type of anxiety disorder, they differ from rational fears that protect us from danger. Phobias are excessive, unfounded fears that can disrupt daily life, work performance, personal relationships, and self-esteem. (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/emotional-healing)

They are also quite prevalent, affecting more than 19 million Americans—both children and adults. They are more common in women and girls than men and boys.

Phobias are a type of anxiety disorders. They are intensely exaggerated and illogical fears most often surrounding situations, objects, or places. They are different than the manageable uneasiness you might typically feel when confronted with a potentially dangerous object or situation.

PHOBIA SYMPTOMS

The physical symptoms of phobias include the following:

  • Rapid heartbeat                                                
  • Sweating
  • Shaking or trembling                                        
  • Tightness or pain in the chest area
  • Nausea                                                             
  • Dry mouth
  • Shortness of breath                                          
  • A choking feeling/sensation
  • Chills                                                                 
  • Feeling faint or dizzy
  • Confusion                                                         
  • Panic

Signs of phobias in children may include:

  • Crying               
  • Being clingy                 
  • Exhibiting temper tantrum-like behavior

In addition to these hallmark symptoms, people with phobias may develop or have other mental health disorders. That’s because phobias, over time, impact mental and physical health. While phobias don’t necessarily cause these conditions, they usually precede them and factor into their development:

Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) ,Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Substance use disorders 

There’s no specific cause of phobias, but any of the following can lead to their development:

Genetics: If your family has a phobia or other anxiety disorders, you are at greater risk of having one too.

Trauma exposure: A negative experience in childhood can trigger a phobia. For example, if you fell off a horse, you might develop a fear of horses. https://www.yourmindstrategy.com/LIVE/events/success-permission/)

Learned responses: Interestingly, parents with phobias can transfer their illogical fears to their offspring. If your parent had a fear of heights, for example, you might as well.

Exposure to toxins or infections: Surprisingly, toxins and infections can factor into the development of anxiety disorders, which includes phobias. Common culprits are toxic mould and Lyme disease.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs): Like toxins and infections, a concussion can make you more likely to develop an anxiety disorder, such as a phobia. This can create negative neuroplasticity. (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity)                               

Brain-imaging studies clearly indicate that anxiety disorders, such as phobias, are associated with biological changes in the brain. Some studies also show functional differences in the brains of individuals with phobias. In the wake of the COVID epidemic shut down the incidence of mental health issues has sky rocketed. We have helped individuals recover from traumas with a combination of functional medicine and emotional healing techniques.

Release Trauma for your Happily Ever After

      No Comments on Release Trauma for your Happily Ever After

Ever reflect on moments in your life that linger a little louder in your memory, those instances of regret or actions not taken? These moments form more than just memories, they manifest as physical and emotional burdens within us.

Our brain has a way of replaying these moments, not to torment us, but because unresolved trauma influences how we experience life, health, and even illness.

This unprocessed emotional debris can contribute significantly to chronic health issues—as varied and severe as autoimmune diseases, heart conditions, and even neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s disease. Conditions like anxiety, depression, chronic pain, fatigue, and many others often trail closely behind.

Most of us tend to push these traumas deep down, hoping out of sight means out of body and mind. However, these traumas linger, subtly shaping our health landscape. This unresolved pain doesn’t just disappear—it embeds itself within, continuously influencing our wellbeing.

As a C-suite executive are your private emotional issues impacting your work life balance? 

We recently had a client who experienced so much anxiety that he would pull up his car off the highway because it was not safe form him to drive. Imagine his relief when after eight weeks of therapy he no longer had to worry about being overcome in the middle of the highway.

Take this step towards liberation from the past—because healing your past traumas is not only about finding relief; it’s about reclaiming joy and wellness in your life.

Trauma is not just “in your head” – it can also extend its reach into your physical health.

Even if you haven’t experienced something experts call “big” trauma, you can still feel the effects of relative trauma in your life.

  • Are you grappling with SIBO or other chronic gut issues? Disruptions in gut microbiota can impact your mental health.
  • Do you suspect that you have been exposed to toxic mould? Mould toxicity can drive nervous system dysregulation

Is your Diet setting you up for Alzheimer’s?

      No Comments on Is your Diet setting you up for Alzheimer’s?
Foods Items High in Healthy Omega-3 Fats.

Food serves so many important purposes in our lives. Food-related activities bring us together with the people who are important in our lives. The behavioral disorders related to food create or sustain terrible distress. Food deficiency or deprivation is a source of great suffering.

Much research has been directed at understanding how dietary patterns affect the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, and here too food can play a positive, health-improving role…or a destructive and disease-promoting role.

The World Health Organization recently concluded that many cases of cognitive decline could be delayed or prevented through adopting a healthier lifestyle. Physical activity, diet, smoking cessation, and attention to chronic medical diseases are all important contributors to healthier cognitive aging. So, what do we know about food and Alzheimer’s disease? 

The typical western diet is high in total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, and processed grains, large amounts of added sugar.

This eating pattern has been linked to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. A high intake of saturated and trans fats increases the body’s levels of oxidative stress and inflammatory response, harmful processes which contribute to the development of dementia. Exposure to environmental toxicity can also aggravate the issues. The take-away message? Cut down on total caloric intake, saturated and trans fats, and sugar.

Next, we know that a healthier diet can protect cognitive functioning while also improving other aspects of health. Most of the research on diet and Alzheimer’s has focused on the Mediterranean diet (MD), an eating pattern that emphasizes healthy fats such as olive oil, fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, nuts, and less dairy food, red meat, butter or margarine, sweetened beverages, and pastries.

Moderate wine consumption is included in some, but not all, European and Middle Eastern populations who have adopted the MD.

In the United States, concern about lifestyle and rampant high blood pressure led National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to propose a set of dietary recommendations known as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Diet.

The DASH Diet emphasizes many MD components as well as a reduction in overall consumption of carbohydrates and sodium. It has been shown to reduce blood pressure.

More recently, the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay Diet, known popularly as the MIND Diet, has been shown to slow down cognitive decline and improve neuroplasticity. The MIND Diet takes elements of MD and DASH and recommends dietary focus on the “good” foods such as whole grains, green leafy and other vegetables, berries, fish, poultry, beans, nuts, and olive oil while minimizing intake of “bad” foods such as red meats, butter, margarine, cheese, fast foods, and sweets.  (https://www.sundardasnaturopathy.com/neuroplasticity)                                

One study found that adherents to the MIND Diet demonstrated more successful cognitive aging and the MIND Diet provided even better protection against Alzheimer’s disease in this study than the DASH or MD diets.

Can Vitamins and Supplements Decrease the Risk of Alzheimer’s? Not all that we eat falls into the category of food, and many vitamins or supplements have also been studied in relationship to Alzheimer’s disease risk. We certainly need enough of the essential vitamins such as folic acid, B12, E, and D. Curcumin, omega 3 fatty acids, and cocoa are among the dietary additives still being researched for a deeper understanding of their risks and benefits.

We are currently helping individuals who are in the early stages of neurodegenerative decline improve the quality of their lives.
