While brain atrophy can occur in all ages, from young to old, it’s most common in people over 40. Medical research and science often believe that injuries, strokes, or a natural process of aging are what lead to this brain shrinkage. That’s not entirely accurate. In truth, the main cause of atrophying of the brain is the inability of brain cells to receive adequate sugars and restore glycogen reserv...

This chronic inflammatory condition is caused by neurotoxins produced by viruses such as Epstein-Barr (EBV) saturating areas of the brain that affect the autonomic nervous system.In many cases, the inflammation is extremely mild, causing symptoms as simple as nervousness or excess sweating. Some cases are a little more intense, with neurotoxins saturating the central and autonomic nervous systems to...

Severe cases of brain fog can be devastating, making people feel like they’re losing their minds. Even mild brain fog is very challenging on the person’s mental and emotional state. One major factor behind brain fog is a liver that’s saturated with toxic heavy metals, scented candles, air fresheners, fragrances, pesticides, herbicides, and other toxins that are providing fuel to the Epstein-Barr vir...

Millions with chronic illness live with some level of undetected or undiagnosed brain inflammation. There are three main varieties of brain inflammation. The first is the easiest to identify, and it’s the one the medical establishment does tend to recognize: the result of injury. Whether you bang your head in an accident or experience head trauma, the brain can become inflamed on a short-term or lon...

Inflammation of the cranial nerves plays a large role in chronic mystery illness. As I always say, “mystery illness” is a much broader category than anyone realizes. We think that if a condition has a name—such as anxiety, fatigue, POTS, vertigo, Bell’s palsy, neuropathy, or ocular migraines—then it must not be a mystery to medical research and science. Anyone who has struggled with any chronic heal...

One cause of strokes is when a foreign invader enters the body, most normally, a pathogen. It can also be a toxin or a toxic substance. If the invader, such as a virus or a type of bacteria, enters the body through the mouth or lungs, its chances of causing a stroke are minimal. More commonly the invader behind a stroke enters in through the skin, penetrating past the derma directly into the bloodst...

Schizophrenia is a physical condition. It should never be passed off as just a mental or emotional condition. If someone is severely damaged from emotional and/or physical abuse by other individuals or an institution of some sort, then yes, an emotional-mental condition can develop resembling some variety of schizophrenia. Really, that scenario is more likely a combination of severe OCD with PTSD, d...

There are different levels of memory loss and forgetfulness. It’s normal to forget some things. It’s normal for some older memories to fade as new experiences replace them. Many people who don’t have brain disease, Alzheimer’s, or dementia rely on lists to remember everything they need to get done. With so many expectations, it can be easy to get distracted, drift off task, or forget. Memory loss a...

Medical communities believe that meningitis can be either bacterial or viral. The truth is that meningitis is always viral. The virus can be anywhere in the brain itself, or many times the virus is nowhere near the brain; it’s in the liver, another organ, or the bloodstream, causing high fevers and other symptoms. Meningitis can be the result of a chronic viral infection that’s been in the body for ...

A number of symptoms that could be given a number of diagnoses have been lumped under the Cushing’s umbrella, regardless of whether someone has a pituitary gland cyst or not. Actual Cushing’s is more rare than we think. Cushing’s is really a result of a long-standing viral infection: EBV is the virus that creates a cyst or tumor on or near the pituitary gland, causing it to produce an excess amount ...

You need enough trace minerals in your brain to light the electrical grid and create continuity of that electrical grid so your brain is functioning at its optimum level.The trend today is to say you can get your trace minerals if you put a pinch of sea salt in your water. That’s not going to do the job. That’s not going to get you the trace minerals you need. Your mineral salts have to come from le...

In medical research and science, IBS is a label for bowels that aren’t functioning as they should, with cause unknown. But you can find answers for what’s behind IBS here.IBS results when the colon is lined with pathogenic waste product and elevated levels of bacteria such as strains from the over 50 groups of Streptococcus bacteria strep, E. coli, and other pathogenic varieties, along with ammonia ...

Our brains and bodies have not betrayed us. They’ve been betrayed by industrial chemicals and other contaminants in our everyday lives that have only accelerated in development in recent years. There are brain betrayers that we’re up against every day, the ones that challenge and defy our immune systems, the ones that take up residence in our brain tissue, the ones that contaminate our neurons and n...

Bananas have gotten a bad rap lately, blamed for being too high in sugar. The reality is that the sugar in a properly ripened banana is completely different from the cane sugar and other processed sweeteners in cookies, cakes, and doughnuts.Unlike processed sugar, the fruit sugar in bananas is bonded to critical life-supporting trace minerals such as manganese, selenium, copper, boron, and molybdenu...

Our blood-brain barrier was designed to keep natural, mostly bodily toxins out of the brain. When someone has a little too much uric acid buildup because a kidney is weakened, for instance, that uric acid is not supposed to permeate the blood-brain barrier. If someone gets a cut that goes deep and leads to a skin infection, then that person could develop the beginning stages of sepsis, in which case...

They also help purify the blood.An ultimate liver-cleansing food, Brussels sprouts provide a vast array of chemical compounds and phytonutrients. The sulfur c...

People often refer to “filler foods” as bad because they associate the term with unproductive processed foods, preservatives, food chemicals, and additives. In truth these ingredients should not be called fillers. They should be called toxic processed foods, toxic preservatives, toxic food chemicals, and toxic additives. These foods and food chemicals are in the category of brain betrayers.We don’t ...

Cucumbers have a fountain-of-youth effect, hydrating us at the deepest cellular level possible. Plus, cucumbers’ cooling effect makes them excellent at rejuvenation and especially effective at cooling a hot, stagnant liver. When eaten on a daily basis, cucumbers can reverse liver damage, dialing back 10 to 15 years of toxin exposure (including from heavy metals and pesticides such as DDT) and poor d...

If posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been ruled out—which is to say, if it’s been determined that trauma from past abuse or suffering is not the cause of someone’s chronic anger, and rather, it’s unexplained—then toxic heavy metals saturating emotional areas of the brain and a stagnant, sluggish liver are the underlying causes.You can also have a mix of all three: trauma, metals, and an overl...

Every case of dyslexia is different; each person’s experience of it is unique. That’s because of its cause: exposure in early life, even before birth, to toxic heavy metals such as mercury that saturate a combination of language areas of the brain, which could include learning, visual, and recognition regions. As I share in “Your Alloy Brain” in Medical Medium Brain Saver, heavy metals never settle ...

Everyone is different. Not in the way we normally think. While our souls are different, our physical bodies, as humans, are meant to function in the same way. We eat food, drink water, urinate and defecate; our hearts beat and our blood pumps; we walk on our feet, we see with our eyes, we hear with our ears, our stomachs are meant to digest…until something goes wrong and we can’t. We can’t walk, we ...

Have you heard or read that idea that the brain is made up primarily of fat and we need to eat a lot of healthy fats to have a healthy brain? These theories are becoming increasing popular, but they are just that: theories. They’re not the truth.Is there any fat in a healthy brain that’s in a healthy body? In Brain Saver, I share that, yes, there is—extremely low levels of fat compared to what scien...

We all go through experiences that limit our ability to trust. Up to a point, that’s helpful for survival. An abundance of innocence can lay the foundation for a major betrayal. As I explain in Medical Medium: Secrets Behind Chronic and Mystery Illness and How to Finally Heal (Revised and Expanded Edition), we can lose faith when we go from doctor to doctor, realizing that medical research and scien...

If someone told you they never get emotional, one of four things could be happening: They don’t realize what they’re saying. They’re not telling the truth. They handle their emotional state by convincing themselves that they never become emotional. They spend time around people who express their emotions in a much more pronounced way, so in comparison, they think they don’t get ...

One of the main causes of the chronic mystery illnesses, symptoms, and conditions so many people live with today is viruses, such as the over 60 strains of Epstein-Barr, over 30 strains of shingles, multiple varieties of HHV-6, HHV-7, HHV-8, over 100 varieties of herpes simplex virus 1 and 2, and many others. This is original Medical Medium information. In truth, it’s impossible to live in this worl...

When someone is handed an ALS diagnosis, it often leaves the patient and loved ones feeling hopeless. If this is you, take heart. As with so many chronic illnesses, ALS is only a label, not an explanation. The label of ALS alone—the fear, panic, and lost sleep it causes—is often partially responsible for someone’s sudden health decline. Understanding the true cause of ALS brings insight into how it ...

When we’re sick or suffering, we often get lost. It can feel like a roller coaster of hope—one moment feeling optimistic about healing, the next feeling crushed, and then having to reestablish hope again. Symptoms can be a constant reminder that something is wrong. Some people have symptoms from a young age and don’t remember what it’s like to not have symptoms. Some may be at the beginning of chron...

Intermittent onsets of severe seizures come from large deposits of heavy metals. Sometimes there are even clusters of large deposits, although it’s usually only a cluster of two deposits.What creates these seizures is the interaction of metals–specifically, an alloy of mercury, aluminum, and copper, with all three of those residing next to each other and sometimes even partially forged together thro...
