How a Cold Sore Robs Your Memory

May 20, 2013

By David Blyweiss, M.D.

In the past few years I've noticed a big age shift when it comes to concerns about the prevention of Alzheimer's. For many years the people worried about this memory-robbing disease were in their 60's or 70's.

Now I have many patients in their 50's who are already taking proactive measures. Even some of my 40-something patients are standing up and taking notice.

Chances are good these folks have watched a parent or grandparent suffer through the memory loss and dementia that comes with Alzheimer's. And it's something they want to avoid at all costs.

Let's face it. Everything about Alzheimer's is frightening.

But the scariest part of all is our lack of knowledge about this disease. Scientists and medical experts can tell us what happens in our brains to cause the problem. But it's been much more difficult to identify the underlying cause.

Here's what we DO know…

It's not the Booze That's Damaging Your Liver...
Every now and then I run across a patient who has all of the hallmarks of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. And if I think it's a risk factor, I run tests to confirm the diagnosis. When the results are negative it's good news all the way around. But when they're positive, I often get a startled reaction: "How can I have fatty liver, I don't even drink!" The fact of the matter is this. Fatty liver is no longer confined to people who spend their days boozing it up.

Government Scandal! Are You the Guinea Pig?
The official name is "section 735 of HR 933," But most people are calling it the "Monsanto Protection Act." With the passing of the bill, the USDA no longer has the power to halt the growth and harvesting of a genetically modified crop once it's planted. But that's not all. The Federal Courts can no longer rule against the growing, harvesting and selling of these experimental crops, even if they are believed to be dangerous. Essentially, this gives Monsanto the power to use unsuspecting U.S. citizens as guinea pigs for their experimental crops. And nobody can stop them!

You CAN Have Your Steak - and Eat It, Too!
These days, health experts are finally admitting meat isn't the big killer they previously said it was. It never has been. But just when we've come to our senses, a new study is demonizing red meat all over again. The authors suggest carnitine, found in red meat, might set off a chain of events that increases the risk of heart disease. What does this mean for you? Is this enough evidence to say you shouldn't be eating meat?
