Tests with animals have shown that by withholding certain nutrients from their diets they forget tricks that they had learned and usually could perform with no problem. In both animals and humans, aging compounds the problem of memory loss and retention - doesn't have to - later on I will show you why. In the early 1950's large numbers of animals - cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens and turkeys - began getting diseases never before seen in animals, such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, etc. In most cases veterinary scientist traced the cause to specific nutritional deficiencies. Today all feed for animals have added nutrients to eliminate a large portion of those illnesses and diseases along with some not so good added chemicals in their foodstuff as you can see above.

Today the chemicals used on the farms and fed to the cattle and sheep in the form of nutrients are taking its toll on our bodies and minds. For what affects our minds also effects our bodies!

Here is an excerpt from the United States Government in 1936 - Verbatim from the Farm Land Depletion Senate Document #264 of 1936; "Our physical well-being is more directly dependent upon minerals we take into our systems than upon calories or vitamins, or upon precise proportions of starch, protein or carbohydrates we consume…." It goes on to say, "Do you know that most of us today are suffering from certain dangerous diet deficiencies which cannot be remedied until depleted soils from which our food comes are brought into proper mineral balance." "No man today can eat enough fruits, vegetable and grains to supply his stomach with the mineral salts he requires for perfect health, because his stomach isn't big enough to hold them! And we are turning into big stomachs." (End of Excerpt)

Has that come to pass or what? We are a society of big stomachs. Obesity is rampant and you thought it was your entire fault. So even if you eat the very best food available there still is a chance you would not be nourishing your brain and body like you should. I am not telling you this to depress you but to inform you - I also hope to make you act - so that you may make some right decisions for your brain's necessary nutrients. I take supplements daily to prevent that from happening to me and being 63 years old my brain seems to be functioning very well but wasn't a few years ago, prior to taking mineral & vitamin supplements.

The older you get the more malnourished you will be and it will become more noticeable. Malnourishment comes on slow and most times it isn't detected. Some people become very ill early in life, which makes it very possible that the malnourishment is being passed from parent to child! Why do you think that all the Alzheimer's and senile dementia is diagnosed these days so much more than 30 or 50 years ago?

One of the very first things on the list to do for yourself and your brain is make sure you are getting good quality digestible liquid minerals and vitamins! "With taking them I have noticed a big improvement in my whole well being" Whipped Chronic Fatigue Syndrome right out of my system and controlling chronic anemia along with 25 years of fibromyalgia.

Here is a LITTLE KNOWN SECRET The 1999 Physician's Desk Reference (page 1542) shows that vitamins and minerals in a PILL form are only 10% to 20% absorbed by the body. DID YOU KNOW? That in 1998 Tacoma Washington alone, 250,000 pounds of undigested vitamin and mineral pills were pulled out of the sewers every six weeks. In Salt Lake City, over 150 gallons of vitamin and mineral pills show up in their filters every month and numerous other cities sewer systems. The reason; high metallic content of these pills. Metallic minerals like oyster shells, carbonates, oxides and dolomites have the consistency of crushed up rocks, which our bodies were not designed to digest. So even if you are taking vitamins and minerals how sure are you that you are absorbing sufficient amounts? The only way to know absolutely is to make sure they are capsules, liquid or powder.

You hear about this herb or that herb being brain food, so to speak, but there are numerous ones the Chinese have used for centuries that are not commonly talked about or even know about and when taken together create a healthier more defined brain. I am a believer of covering all bases.

Dateline 10/21/99: for almost one hundred years, it has been a mantra of biology - brain cells do not regenerate. In a startling discovery that could have profound implications for treating brain disorders and injuries, researchers at Princeton University have discovered that new neurons are continually being added to the brains of adult monkeys.

The neurons are added to the cerebral cortex of the brain. The cerebral cortex is the most complex part of the brain and scientists were startled to find neuron formation in this "high" brain area. The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher level decision making and learning. The researchers found the formation of new nerve cells; a process called neurogenesis, in three areas of the cerebral cortex: ·Prefrontal region which controls decision-making. ·Inferior temporal region which plays a role in visual recognition. ·Posterior parietal region which plays a role in 3D representation.

The researchers believe that these results call for a fundamental reassessment of the development of the primate brain. For almost a century, scientists have believed that primate brains do not regenerate or add new neurons after maturity. It was a fundamental tenet of neuroscience that the brain could not repair itself or grow new cells. In recent years, scientists have begun to chip away at the dogma as previous research has shown that other areas of the brain such as the hippocampus add new neurons. Many researchers believed that these previous results were anomalies or were confined to "lower" parts of the brain. These results are even more startling since they occur in the most advanced part of the brain.

Researchers are optimistic that with further study scientists might one day unlock the key to this process of brain cell growth and use the knowledge to treat a variety of brain disorders and diseases.

What do you think? How might this discovery impact our ability to treat Brain injuries? How do you think that neuronal generation may differ in humans?

It is believed that similar processes occur in humans since monkeys and humans have very similar brain structures. Would you like to engage in rebuilding lost brainpower?
