Q. My family history includes Alzheimer’s. Plus my doctor says I have the gene for Alzheimer’s and that I should start thinking about using the medication for it when I have signs of it.

​

A. You don’t have a bad gene, you have a bad doctor. First of all, no medication cures Alzheimer’s. And second of all, when folks take some of the cholinesterase-inhibiting prescriptions for Alzheimer’s they actually accelerate the downhill progression of the disease. But more importantly, it has been known for a decade and even published by Harvard Medical School researchers that vitamin A (retinoic acid) is among many of the important nutrients to protect against memory loss, especially once Alzheimer’s has begun. But since most people are low in zinc (which is necessary in the enzyme retinaldehyde dehydrogenase), they cannot convert their beta-carotene to its active form, vitamin A. Furthermore, most people have cell membranes that are starving for the correct fats and choked with the wrong fats.

Dr. Rogers goes on to say, "If she had done her homework she could find that foods and nutrients speak to genes and keep them suppressed so they do not have to manifest themselves. Right now, countless famous people are reported to have Alzheimer’s, but unfortunately they do not have any knowledgeable advocates to help them repair their brain chemistries. They rely on conventionally trained physicians who only see every symptom as a deficiency of the latest drug."
