Welcome to the Doctor Burg, Healthy Keto and Intermittent Fasting Podcast.

Now, your host, the man taking your health to a whole new level.

Doctor Eric Burg.

Let's talk about Alzheimer's.

There's some recent information that I'm going to share with you that debunks this idea

of amyloid placking causing Alzheimer's.

There was a whistleblower, Professor Matthew Shreg, MD PhD, who did a deep dive in analysis

on a foundational research study that was done in 2006, linking that amyloid placking in your brain to Alzheimer's.

Now, you have to realize that all the funding and the studies after that was based on this study.

And if I'm not mistaken, they actually injected this amyloid placking into the brains of animals, and they got dementia.

So that was a study that a lot of research were looking for to be able to continue their research.

Because so many studies at the time did not show positive improvement when they tried to lower placking or trying to block placking in the brain.

So in other words, this theory of plaque causing Alzheimer's just never took off and never showed results.

And very unfortunately, a lot of people are depending on research to come up with an answer, a cure, a solution for a long time.

And basically for decades, they've been focusing on the wrong target.

A similar thing happened with this cholesterol, you know, being the bad guy, this hyper focus on cholesterol is the root of your heart problems has been going on since the 50s, all based on some research in the 50s, where they selectively omitted certain information on that study, which gave you the different conclusion that cholesterol was bad.

And of course, it also happened with this theory of depression being a chemical imbalance.

They recently found that there's no evidence showing that people who are depressed have a chemical imbalance, the very foundation that all these drugs are based on.

Now, before I get into what I believe is causing this problem, let's first talk about the early symptoms of Alzheimer's.

You have a problem remembering recent events, okay, you also have a problem trying to find words, you have an issue with spatial location trying to navigate through town without a GPS is very difficult.

And this relates to a part of the brain called the hippocampus, which is all about trying to locate yourself in space.

And that's the first thing that happens with Alzheimer's, the hippocampus starts to shrink.
