1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,760 Prepare to have your health questions answered here on Safe, Effective, Natural Solutions 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:12,080 with Dr. Todd Binkley, owner of Binkley Healing Center in downtown Ventura. 3 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,400 Now, here's Dr. Todd. 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:15,400 Good afternoon. 5 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:20,440 I'm Dr. Todd Binkley, board certified non-force doctor of chiropractic and practitioner of 6 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,160 functional medicine. 7 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,720 Functional medicine means using standard diagnostic tests to identify conditions other doctors 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,120 miss because they often just don't order those tests, usually because your insurance doesn't 9 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,200 want to pay for them. 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,920 It's more affordable than you might imagine to get testing that's being denied you by, 11 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,800 well, that's a whole other story. 12 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,400 But anyway, the focus has been on dementia for the past few episodes, and I've been getting 13 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:54,720 a lot of response about these because it can be devastating for families, for loved ones 14 00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:04,280 to see the person they knew vanish before their eyes, sometimes quickly or even worse, 15 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,280 slowly. 16 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:12,720 If your father, grandmother, husband, sister, or best friend is going through this transition, 17 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:18,880 please be patient with them and please be patient with yourself. 18 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,760 So the conferences that I attend every year to keep abreast of the latest research and 19 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:29,960 treatment of various conditions prohibit often the mention of any specific products to prevent 20 00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:31,660 bias. 21 00:01:31,660 --> 00:01:36,760 On this show, I'm going to talk about some of the products that I use because people 22 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,920 often ask me about them. 23 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:46,320 So I'm going to describe certain products and the context and why a lot of people don't 24 00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,120 want to talk, a lot of doctors don't want to talk about the products they use, and then 25 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,200 I'm going to talk about the products. 26 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:59,840 So number one, on this show, it is only after careful consideration that I mention any specific 27 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,920 products for several reasons. 28 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,720 Number one, I don't want you to think that this show or my practice is about promoting 29 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,480 and selling supplements. 30 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,280 It is definitely not. 31 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:18,680 The purpose of this show is to arm you with information to take better care of yourself 32 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,120 and the ones you love. 33 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,680 Number two, I wouldn't want to encourage you or anyone else to randomly experiment with 34 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:34,920 some supplements based on insufficient information that might just be a waste of money. 35 00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:43,720 The focus of my practice is the use of diagnostic testing to identify real deficiencies, the 36 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:50,760 nutrients that are lacking in your body that show up on tests of certain nutrients or the 37 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:57,000 presence of inflammation and chronic subclinical infections. 38 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,840 What's a chronic subclinical infection? 39 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:03,280 So chronic doesn't mean bad, it just means that it's been there for a long time. 40 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,840 And subclinical means you don't have the signs and symptoms of an acute infection like fever, 41 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,760 stuffy nose, or upset stomach, or fatigue. 42 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:19,600 But a lot of people have infections, bacteria, viruses, parasites, mold, other things that 43 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:26,920 have taken residence in your body or are causing subtle symptoms that you don't even notice 44 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:32,320 until they've been there for years, which can be identified on diagnostic testing. 45 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,520 And number three, I always want to encourage people to remember that the quality and quantity 46 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:43,560 of the food you eat and the level of physical activity that you incorporate into your daily 47 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:51,680 life are almost always the most important two things that anyone can do to enhance their 48 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,920 health and prevent and reverse chronic disease. 49 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,640 So I'm going to say that again. 50 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:06,160 The quality and quantity of food, most people eat too much and of poor quality. 51 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:12,800 Not maybe, well, certainly not the listeners of this show, but in America, they eat too 52 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,160 much food of poor quality. 53 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,080 So the quality and quantity of the food you eat and the level of physical activity you 54 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:27,240 incorporate into your daily life, it doesn't have to be a specific regimen that requires 55 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,240 a membership or any special equipment. 56 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:35,920 But where our bodies are designed to move, over the entire development of our current 57 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:43,800 physiology over thousands of years, the environment has been up until very recently one in which 58 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:50,800 we were required to move about, hunt for food, gather food. 59 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,520 We were busy moving about all the time. 60 00:04:53,520 --> 00:05:00,200 And now that we're on computers and looking at other screens all day and in cars and sitting 61 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,680 relatively motionless most of the time, that has huge impacts on our health. 62 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:10,600 We need to move, get up and move about in any way that works. 63 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,840 I must keep coming back to these reminders because everyone is busy and we live in an 64 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:21,920 environment where instant solutions and shortcuts are expected, maybe even necessary. 65 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:29,080 Many people find themselves in situations where they need something to change now. 66 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,920 And the effects of supplements are rarely instant. 67 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,720 Their effects always take much longer than pharmaceuticals, for example, but they offer, 68 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:46,320 supplements offer a much quicker effect, much quicker solution to the effort required to 69 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:52,560 consistently consume better food and regularly move your body the way it was designed to 70 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,200 be engaged in some form of physical activity every day. 71 00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:02,560 So vitamin, mineral, enzyme, omega-3 fatty acid, herbal and other supplements are called 72 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:09,720 supplements, because they're meant to supplement a healthy lifestyle. 73 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,720 Supplements can never replace healthy lifestyle. 74 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,760 For several years I've taken a course in integrative oncology. 75 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:26,600 The developer of this course strongly resists talking about any specific products for any 76 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:32,080 particular patient, mainly because she wants to consistently convey, rightly, the importance 77 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:38,280 of doing a comprehensive workup for every individual you are is different on the inside 78 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:40,960 as you are on the outside. 79 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:47,960 Everyone is different, but not everyone can afford this comprehensive testing I'm talking 80 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:55,420 about and lots of people are looking for solutions that are safe, natural and at least potentially 81 00:06:55,420 --> 00:06:57,600 effective. 82 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,200 So I am today going to describe several of the most effective products that I've been 83 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:08,000 researching and offering to and seeing results with my patients. 84 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,800 Before I do this, I would be remiss if I didn't arm you with the tools you need to read your 85 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,440 nutrient labels. 86 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:21,680 For example, people often think the first thing on a list of supplements on a label 87 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,440 is the most important. 88 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,160 This is almost never the case. 89 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:31,600 Everyone assumes that whatever is listed on the label is the amount in one capsule or 90 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,920 tablet. 91 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,760 You must also read the serving size of the top of the label. 92 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:44,200 So for example, a lot of supplements, the amount of each ingredient in each supplement 93 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:50,920 isn't listed in order of importance and it's the amount in a serving size that is determined 94 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,760 by the supplier, which is listed at the top and so the ingredients you're looking at may 95 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,960 be the amount that's in three capsules or two or four, not just one. 96 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,440 So you need to check that supplement size at the top of the label. 97 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:11,720 And the fact that you're taking a multivitamin or any other supplement you're taking might 98 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:17,520 have some magnesium or vitamin D or folic acid in it doesn't mean that you shouldn't 99 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,920 take any other supplement that has those same ingredients. 100 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:29,480 The best supplements are always synergistic, meaning they're combination nutrients that 101 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,880 work better when taken all at the same time in certain combinations. 102 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:40,920 So synergistic effects of these nutrients is the reason that you'll see a little bit 103 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:45,600 of vitamin B6 or a little bit of vitamin D or a little bit of this mineral or that and 104 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,160 any other vitamin or mineral. 105 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,160 Just ignore that. 106 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,600 You don't need to, there's no way you're going to ever understand that. 107 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,680 Just trust that if it's a top quality product, those things are in there and it doesn't mean 108 00:08:56,680 --> 00:09:00,200 that you don't need to take those nutrients from any other product or that you're going 109 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:04,360 to be taking too much of them if you take a good multivitamin. 110 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:09,320 They're usually small amounts, but top shelf manufacturers always include small amounts 111 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:15,000 of other nutrients, mainly vitamins and minerals that facilitate your body's ability to utilize 112 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,680 the main ingredients in a product. 113 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:23,860 I'm Dr. Todd Binkley and you're listening to Safe, Effective Natural Solutions to Almost 114 00:09:23,860 --> 00:09:25,120 Any Health Challenge. 115 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:30,520 Today we're still talking about dementia and health in general as always. 116 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,800 And today I'm going to share some products with you that I've achieved results with for 117 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:41,200 many years and some others that are new, which I'm just beginning to use because of my respect 118 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,840 for the integrity of the companies that manufacture them. 119 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,800 And early results I'm getting from their use. 120 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,880 But first, a word of caution. 121 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:57,520 Please be very careful when ordering supplements on Amazon. 122 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,480 Full disclosure, I love ordering stuff on Amazon. 123 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:07,260 Boxes from Amazon arrive on my porch two or three, sometimes four days a week. 124 00:10:07,260 --> 00:10:14,320 But sellers of supplements on Amazon, which Amazon does not regulate, these sellers routinely, 125 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:20,720 some of these sellers routinely sell completely fake products that very effectively impersonate 126 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,560 top shelf supplements. 127 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:28,700 This is why most top shelf supplement suppliers prohibit selling on Amazon. 128 00:10:28,700 --> 00:10:30,680 They sell products that are expired. 129 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:35,300 They manufacture totally fake products with bottles and labels that look exactly like 130 00:10:35,300 --> 00:10:36,300 the real ones. 131 00:10:36,300 --> 00:10:41,140 I've had a patient, there's a particular product called Dehis, which is an anti-inflammatory 132 00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:45,240 supplement that when you take it, it works, it actually is really fast. 133 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,960 You feel the effect in about 20 minutes. 134 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,320 And I had a patient who, I was out of the product, she was leaving for vacation, so 135 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:57,200 she bought it on Amazon and she came in and she said, I know this is a fake. 136 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,440 It has no effect. 137 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,320 It looked exactly the same. 138 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,920 The label, the bottle, everything. 139 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,720 There's a lot of money to be made by faking some of these top shelf products. 140 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,120 So be very careful where you get them. 141 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,440 I always tell my patients that the products I stock in my office are not the only ones 142 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:15,440 that work. 143 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:22,120 They're just a collection from roughly 15 different companies of products that I have 144 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:29,160 seen work on hundreds or thousands or through my connections with practitioners I see at 145 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:35,560 conferences around the country, up to hundreds of thousands of people, hundreds of thousands 146 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:36,560 of patients. 147 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:42,280 The products I'm about to describe are from two of my favorite companies, Ortho Molecular 148 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,600 Products and Designs for Health. 149 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,440 And you can get detailed information about these products on their websites as well as 150 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:56,240 videos in the case of Ortho Molecular Products to watch that are really informative and helpful. 151 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:01,840 I encourage you to check them out or just Google, or just go to Ortho Molecular Products.com 152 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,280 or Designsforhealth.com. 153 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,760 The first one I want to talk about is a relatively new product from Ortho Molecular Products 154 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,560 called Hyphenolic. 155 00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:17,400 And its ingredient list is a collection of polyphenols. 156 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:24,240 Polyphenols are nutrients in plants, nutrients that plants make to defend themselves against 157 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:30,000 infections from mold and parasites and other things that threaten their life. 158 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,600 And it is these same things that they generate to protect themselves that are beneficial 159 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,500 for our human health. 160 00:12:37,500 --> 00:12:46,480 So polyphenols and Hyphenolic are lemon verbena, hibiscus, and chlorogenic acids from green 161 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,080 coffee bean. 162 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:53,760 And you're to be forgiven if you've never heard of chlorogenic acids from green coffee 163 00:12:53,760 --> 00:13:01,640 bean because I had never heard of chlorogenic acids from green coffee bean until this product 164 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:02,640 came out. 165 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,920 But they provide some really important research. 166 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,560 And chlorogenic acids account for many of the health benefits of coffee. 167 00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:16,600 But they are reduced by roasting coffee beans. 168 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,880 So that's why it's from the green coffee bean, not from... 169 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,680 So you're not going to get any of this from drinking coffee is the point. 170 00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:32,560 Extracting this polyphenol, this potent polyphenol from green unroasted coffee beans removes 171 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:37,000 the caffeine as a side benefit if you want to avoid caffeine. 172 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,200 But most importantly, it maximizes its health benefits. 173 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,680 It's kind of like Ozempic. 174 00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:49,160 If you've heard about this crazy drug that everyone's taking, some people help for a 175 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:54,360 good reason to reduce their weight, but a lot of people just to become anorexic and 176 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,520 look good in Hollywood. 177 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:05,320 So high phenolic, this collection of polyphenols is kind of like Ozempic without the side effects. 178 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:14,560 It's a slight exaggeration, but again, both the long-term effects of Ozempic are unknown. 179 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:21,320 And the effects of these polyphenols on human health have been studied for many, many, many, 180 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:22,320 many years. 181 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:28,640 So they reduce blood pressure, increase a feeling of fullness, reduce cravings, improve 182 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:38,160 fat metabolism and reduce and maintain a healthy weight, just like Ozempic and Monjaro and 183 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,360 this whole class of drugs that people are so excited about now. 184 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,760 Numerous randomized controlled trials documenting the effects of these nutrients have been published 185 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,120 in scientific reports, among other places. 186 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,000 Scientific reports publishes research from across the natural sciences, psychology, medicine, 187 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:02,680 food and nutrition linking the chemistry and physics of food with health and nutrition. 188 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,960 Some of this research is also published in the Journal of Hypertension. 189 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:14,120 Resveratrol is another super nutrient that has so many beneficial effects, especially 190 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,160 on the brain and the cardiovascular system. 191 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:23,760 In a 2018 study published in BioFactors, authors state, quote, resveratrol is a natural phytoestrogen 192 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:31,520 with neuroprotective properties, polyphenolic compounds, meaning plant-based compounds, 193 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:39,920 including resveratrol, an exer, an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, an anti-amyloid effect. 194 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:48,760 Amyloid is one of these scar tissue type effects of, that is seen on scans and on autopsy as 195 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:55,840 a signal diagnosis for dementia that either is happening or has happened. 196 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:02,440 And again, it's too, you know, there's no way to get rid of that stuff, almost no way 197 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,720 to get rid of that stuff. 198 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:11,640 But reducing its formation is dramatically enhanced by resveratrol, among other things, 199 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,160 like another product called RegeneVasque. 200 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:24,040 This is a new product from Orthomolecular Products, RegeneVasque, a blend of seaweed 201 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,400 extract, chondroitin sulfate, and chicken-cum extract, which is a source of hyaluronic acid. 202 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,120 So these ingredients are mainly known for joint repair. 203 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:39,760 Chondroitin sulfate and hyaluronic acid now have documented, in addition to joint repair, 204 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:46,960 now have documented effects for preventing cardiovascular disease by addressing the very, 205 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,240 very earliest stages of arteriosclerosis. 206 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:59,880 They do this by strengthening something called the endothelial glycocalyx. 207 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:00,880 What is that? 208 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:06,880 Well, all of your blood vessels are pipes that escort blood throughout your body. 209 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,840 The outer layer is a connective tissue that provides the strength and integrity to keep 210 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,240 the blood vessel from bursting and causing an aneurysm. 211 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:20,760 And there's a middle layer of muscle that allows that vessel to expand and contract. 212 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,040 And then the innermost layer of all of your blood vessels, all of your arteries, is called 213 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:32,840 the endothelium, which is kind of a silky, silk-like, pantyhose-like layer that keeps 214 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:39,360 the inner layer of your blood vessels nice and smooth so that all the nutrients and blood 215 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:45,600 vessels and white blood cells and white blood cells that are hurdling through your cardiovascular 216 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:52,320 system can do so smoothly and expeditiously, as efficiently as possible, without getting 217 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,520 stuck on the walls and creating plaque. 218 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,220 See all the episodes from February where I talked about plaque formation. 219 00:18:01,220 --> 00:18:08,200 But this endothelial glycocalyx is basically this early stage formation of this sticky 220 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:15,800 substance that is the precursor for everything else that follows that creates arteriovascular 221 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,280 disease, which ultimately results in dementia. 222 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:29,720 So regen-vask is a blend of seaweed extract, chondroitin sulfate, and a source of hyaluronic 223 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,840 acid from chicken comb. 224 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,440 And a lot of, you know, if you're a sophisticated consumer, you may have heard, everyone's, 225 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,320 well, most people, many people have heard of chondroitin sulfate. 226 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:45,280 But what does seaweed have to do with blood vessels and chicken comb extract? 227 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:53,880 Again, it's long been known to be a nutrient for joint, for helping your body heal arthritis, 228 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,960 reverse arthritis, eliminate or reduce the degeneration that forms. 229 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:02,440 So this is a really interesting product that I'm fascinated by. 230 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,640 I'm getting early results with my patients. 231 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,680 I've got maybe a half a dozen patients on it so far. 232 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:13,000 But the point of it is to, at the very earliest stage, but way before anything's going to 233 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:20,280 show up on any test, address the thing that's really causing cardiovascular disease, interrupt 234 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,060 that formation of plaque while it's just beginning to start. 235 00:19:25,060 --> 00:19:27,160 How cool would that be? 236 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:34,600 So these ingredients strengthen the endothelial glycocalyx, this soft, mushy inner lining 237 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:40,360 coating of your blood vessels by providing the building blocks that make up this defensive 238 00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:42,360 barrier. 239 00:19:42,360 --> 00:19:46,560 Another product that I've been using for many, many years and have seen profound effects, 240 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:53,080 especially with reducing blood pressure is called Citra Knox by Ortho Molecular Products. 241 00:19:53,080 --> 00:20:01,840 Citra Knox is a huge dose of L-citrulline, citrulline, 3,000 milligrams, grape seed extract 242 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:07,560 and quercetin, 200 milligrams, 200 milligrams of quercetin, 200 milligrams of grape seed 243 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,240 extract and 3,000 milligrams of L-citrulline. 244 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:18,480 And these ingredients profoundly affect the control of inflammation in your vascular system 245 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:22,220 by affecting nitric oxide production. 246 00:20:22,220 --> 00:20:25,200 So this affects every tissue in your body. 247 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:30,960 It affects the pipes themselves to keep the pipes clear of plaque formation. 248 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:36,480 And it affects this, as a result, affects the supply of oxygen to every tissue in the 249 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,360 body, especially your brain. 250 00:20:38,360 --> 00:20:44,480 The brain is the most sensitive organ of any part of your body to any kind of nutrient 251 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,640 deficiency, any kind of toxicity. 252 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,640 And here's a forecast. 253 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,960 I'm going to start talking about toxicities in upcoming episodes because that's also such 254 00:20:53,960 --> 00:21:00,280 an over common looked area and a huge component of the reticent protocol that I talked about 255 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,320 on the last episode. 256 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:11,680 So anything that reverses or reduces cardiovascular disease reverses or reduces dementia. 257 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:17,120 And most people with dementia also have fatigue and several other complicating symptoms that 258 00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:19,840 can also be helped with supplements. 259 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:25,860 So for fatigue, for example, Designs for Health makes two amazing products that I've had really 260 00:21:25,860 --> 00:21:35,600 fantastic results with called Mito NR and Mitoendochondrial NRG. 261 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,480 The mitochondria are the energy producing cells, energy producing component in every 262 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,240 cell in your body. 263 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:51,420 And just modern life and lack of proper nutrients just really makes these little powerhouses, 264 00:21:51,420 --> 00:21:58,280 these energy furnaces in every cell in your body struggle to do their jobs resulting in 265 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:04,200 so often common fatigue that people experience and have no idea what's causing it. 266 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:10,840 So just boosting your mitochondrial function with nutrients in combo products like Mito 267 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,200 NR and Mitochondrial NRG from Designs for Health can help tremendously. 268 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:21,920 So B vitamins, B vitamins are essential for so many reactions that are influential and 269 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,880 requisite for healthy brain functioning especially in addition to others I've mentioned like 270 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:33,000 folic acid and methyl forms of B12 and folic acid. 271 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:39,080 B6 and especially the P5P form of B6. 272 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,760 And again, this is something that you're never going to see on a label. 273 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:52,920 B6 is just straight peroxidine but the P5P form of B6 has very well researched benefits 274 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,880 for the nervous system and also magnesium. 275 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:03,400 So you know, most people get, if you are taking a good multivitamin, hopefully you're getting 276 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,840 a good form of magnesium but there are at least eight forms of magnesium on the market 277 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,600 that I'm aware of that are good for different things, magnesium sulfate which is what's 278 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:19,600 in Epsom salts, magnesium citrate, these are good for constipation. 279 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:27,440 Magnesium glycinate is the best form for calming and relaxing muscles for restless leg syndrome 280 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:34,120 but for specifically brain degenerative conditions like neurodegenerative multiple sclerosis 281 00:23:34,120 --> 00:23:44,160 or neuropathies that are caused by diabetes and other neurodegenerative conditions. 282 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:49,240 A product called NeuroMag from Designs for Health which is, and they're not the only 283 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,360 ones that make it, Thorne, there's several other companies that make a good magnesium 284 00:23:53,360 --> 00:23:58,720 threonate, threonate form of magnesium. 285 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:04,920 NeuroMag is a very bulky nutrient, it's a three capsule in the case of the Designs for 286 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:05,920 Health form. 287 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:11,480 You have to take three capsules, it's a bulky nutrient, the normal dose of it won't fit 288 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:19,600 into one capsule but it can have often amazing life changing results on your nerves and your 289 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:20,600 brain. 290 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:25,040 Thank you for
