Brain Fog - Memory Loss - Alzheimer`s, Can something be done about it? - By Janis Ihrig

It happens everyday. They say nothing can be done about it. Or, can it?

At the age of 68 my mother wanted so much to drive, but my father wouldn`t let her. I loved her dearly and felt I could let her drive with me. Her concentration was so poor that she looked everywhere except in front of her. It was a frightening day and very heartbreaking for me, but I decided my father was right. She couldn`t drive anymore.

My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer`s, a horrible disease affecting the mental ability to direct the body. Over the years, I saw the anger, the frustration and disappointment in her eyes, because she was unable to communicate coherently. A heartbreaking experience for both my mother and those who loved her. Ten years later she passed away.

I have since been looking for something to prevent or even reverse that sort of thing. There has been a lot uncovered about the disease since my mother died, memory problems are being resolved today including Alzheimer`s.

Here`s something I learned recently.

Tom Warren was diagnosed with Alzheimer`s after having a CAT scan. Four years later, another CAT scan showed a normal brain. And, he was living a normal life again.

Tom has written a book, "Beating Alzheimer`s" in which he gives his full story. Anyone who knows an Alzheimer`s or memory loss victim needs to read this book. It gives an overview of what to do and further research. The book will open the door to hope and possibly save a person`s life and spare the family much stress and horror which accompanies this disease.

Tom?s story will capture your attention and inspire you to move beyond the world of futile destiny.

Similar to an Electrical Connection

The nerve endings in the brain, must be exposed and in good condition to transmit impulses similar to electricity moving from an outlet onto the receptors of a plug. When these nerve endings are tangled and coated, they lose their ability to function as transmitters and communication becomes garbled.

Research over the last 15 years indicates that, ?brain fog? memory loss and Alzheimer`s are the result of foreign substances and/or allergic reactions in the brain causing swelling and the accumulation of plaque residue. Research shows brain tissue of Alzheimer`s victims as tangled nerve fibers coated with plaque residue. This plaque can come from many sources - toxic metals like mercury and aluminum, petrochemicals, hydrocarbons, foods, pollens, etc.

These tangled nerve fibers coated in plaque residue are found at the nerve endings (synapses) where the transmission of impulses occurs. These synapses, disfigured and coated, will not send and receive impulses, thus communication breaks down.

A lot can be done!

To aid your memory, start by balancing your body`s pH (acid alkaline balance). Having the correct acid alkaline balance throughout the body will ensure the body`s internal communication systems function properly, which helps the body heal itself and grow old gracefully.

Healthy blood is slightly alkaline. When too much acid accumulates in the body, it acts as a poison. The body has to deal with the acid overload by neutralizing it, storing it or excreting it through various channels. The liver can become sluggish doing a poor job, allowing the acids to accumulate. This results in many health problems like brain fog, joint pain, weight problems, etc.

If you want to reverse memory problems, it?s tricky, but can be done. Learn all you can and map out a program with your healthcare practitioner to take you or your loved one through to recovery. This would include:

*Bringing the pH`s back into the normal range,

*Removing foreign substances and/or allergens causing the problem,

*Detoxifying the body,

*Ensuring a daily intake of appropriate nutrition, vitamins and minerals,

*Maintaining a mild exercise program on a daily basis. An hour walk is wonderful.

It may not be easy, but if someone wants their life back, it`s well worth going for. Progress has been made. There is hope. Life can be taken back from this dread disease.

I encourage you to look further for yourself and those you love.

7 Secrets To High Performance Thinking - By John Colanzi

have the ability to take us anywhere we want to go at

amazing speed.

But sadly most of us haven`t done the necessary

maintenance and tune ups to enable our minds to operate

efficiently.

There are three reasons this can happen.

1. Laziness. Some of us know what to do, but we`re

either too lazy or lack the discipline to do what`s

necessary to keep our minds at peak efficiency.

2. We don`t believe in our potential or the awesome power

of our minds.

3. We don`t know the 7 Secrets Of High Performance

Thinking.

In this report I`m revealing the 7 Secrets Of High

Performance Thinking. I`m taking away any excuses you

have for not Thinking Like A Winner.

As you start putting the 7 secrets to work for you,

you`ll notice the effects are geometric.

Each technique will be multiply the effectiveness of the

others.

Once you`ve started using all seven you`ll be amazed at

how powerful your mind can be.

No realistic goal will be beyond your grasp.

So what are the 7 Secrets Of High Performance Thinkers?

Secret Number 1 Relaxation

High Performance Thinkers have learned to use the power

of Relaxation.

They know that stress impairs their ability to perform

and that it`s better to take a break when they are

feeling fatigued or frustrated.

If you`d like to perform at your optimum levels,

schedule daily periods of relaxation exercises.

You can meditate or listen to soothing music or tapes.

If you`re always at the computer like I am, you can take

a short jog, or do some exercise.

In essence you should do the opposite of what your daily

tasks are.

If you?re a laborer you would relax by finding something

that stimulates your mind.

If your daily routine involves a lot of thinking or

sitting at a desk, break up your day with some physical

exercise.

Once you`ve learned to harness the power of relaxation,

you`ll find reaching your goal so much easier.

Make relaxation a part of your daily routine.

Secret Number 2 Visualization

Any task we attempt is easier if we are relaxed,

especially mental conditioning.

Visualization is a powerful tool when combined with

relaxation.

Many individuals say they are unable to visualize or

create pictures in their minds.

That`s not really true.

They visualize, but because they haven`t practiced

controlling their mental pictures, they see what they

want to avoid rather than what they want to accomplish.

Your mind absorbs what you input and that`s why so many

of your fears come true.

You can either control your mental pictures or they

will control you.

You will be drawn to any picture you hold long enough

in your minds eye.

If you want to become prosperous and successful, you

must take control of the movies you play in your mind.

The first step is to make visualizing your more

successful, prosperous self a daily habit.

When you first begin to practice seeing yourself in a

new light, your rational mind will rebel and the doubts

will creep in.

You`ll only be able to hold your mental pictures for

short periods of time.

As your practice continues you will be able to hold

the pictures for longer periods of time and you`ll be

able to view them in greater detail.

If you`re wondering if it`s worth the effort, I`d like

to give you an example of how powerful visualization is.

When Ali was preparing for his fight against Foreman,

the "experts" gave him little chance of winning.

Foreman was younger, bigger, stronger and hit like a

mule.

So what did Ali do?

He went to his training camp and avoided reading all

negative stories about his impending defeat.

He not only began physically training for the fight, he

began mentally rehearsing his reactions to being hit by

Foreman.

Ali knew that there was a possibility of being knocked

unconscious during the fight, but how would he handle

it?

He began mentally training his body to wrap his arms

around Foreman and clinch as soon as he felt himself

begin to lose consciousness.

The night of the fight his mental training paid off.

In Ali`s own words he admitted there were times in that

fight when he was literally out on his feet.

The only thing that saved him from defeat was his

visualization exercises.

Each time he was hit hard enough to be knocked

unconscious, his body took over and held onto Foreman

long enough for Ali to regain his senses.

That night history was made, through the power of

Visualization.

Are you ready to make history?

Secret Number 3 Self Talk

So far we`ve discussed relaxation and visualization.

Now we`re going to talk about autosuggestion

(Self talk).

Autosuggestion is the simplest of the 7 secrets.

It`s also my favorite.

It`s simply talking to yourself. You pick a habit or

quality you wish to acquire and repeat it to yourself

over and over.

It`s my favorite technique, because it literally changed

my life.

Don`t shrug it off.

It may appear simple, but it`s oh so powerful.

I was in my late 40`s, my business had gone bust and my

health was shot.

I saw no way out.

I just knew the odds were against my ever getting out

of the situation I found myself in.

Broke, the clock ticking and unable to work.

Well as the song says, if you ain`t got nothin, you

ain`t got nothin to lose.

Since I had nothing to lose, I started using a

utosuggestion.

I admit it. I talked to myself.

Luckily I was alone when I did it, or I`m sure they`d

have thrown the old net over me.

I wasn`t even sure it would work, but I did it anyway.

It was nothing fancy, just two sentences I repeated,

day in and day out.

The first sentence was, "I am a lot more creative than

I ever imagined."

The second was, "I have an unlimited number of creative

ideas in my subconscious."

So what happened?

At 50 years old I`ve been given a second chance.

I`ve gone from throwing in the towel and preparing to

lead what Walden called a life of quiet desperation, to

making my living as a writer.

I can work from anywhere.

I make money doing something I love.

If autosuggestion isn`t powerful, I don`t know what is.

It`s changed my life.

Secret Number 4 Goal Setting

Goal setting is actually an extension of our survival

mechanism.

All living things have survival mechanism. From the tree,

whose leaves turn toward the sky before a rain to the

birds who, fly to warmer climates during the winter.

But as men and women we have an advantage. Plants,

animals and insects have no control over the direction

their lives take.

It`s preset for the survival of their species. We on

the other hand have the ability to take part in the

shaping of our destinies. We can choose our path.

Our ability to think of the future and set goals gives

us the ability to be the captains of our fates and the

shapers of our destiny. Sadly most of us tend to shrug

off the power of setting goals and our lives end up

being tossed to and fro like a ship in a storm.

Our high powered minds are programmed to help us

achieve success, but we give it no direction. We ride

around with this high performance engine between our

ears, and never take off the emergency brake.

If you truly want to become a high performance thinker,

you should set goals that get you excited. Your goals

should be big enough to motivate you, while still being

believable.

Don`t mistake daydreams for goals.

Don`t mistake what will make others happy, for a goal

that will get you excited.

It has to be your goal.

Start setting believable, achievable goals. Set a time

limit on accomplishing your goals and set higher goals

each time an old goal has been achieved.

Set up a reward system for achieving your goals on time.

Make reaching your goals a game, a treasure hunt.

If you`ve got time to root for your favorite sports team,

you have time to start rooting for you.

Setting and achieving your goals is the real Super Bowl.

Make yourself the MVP of your life.

Secret Number 5 Whole Brain Thinking

The fifth secret of high performance thinking is learning

to think with both sides of your brain. High performance

thinkers are whole-brained thinkers.

Most of us have one side of our brains dominant. If the

left side is dominant we tend to be more logical. If our

right side is more dominant we tend to be more Intuitive.

A prime example would be what we label as women`s intuition.

For some reason we find it more acceptable for women to use

their intuition and we expect men to be more analytical.

The true high performance thinkers are as comfortable

setting down detailed plans for accomplishing their goals

as they are at thinking outside the box and coming up

with a new way of seeing and doing things.

The true skill is to be able to use either side at will.

It`s sad to see how many writers, artists and inventors

have historically ended up broke, when all they would have

needed was to use a little more of their left brain logic.

At the other end of the spectrum, you can find many

businesses going under because they fall behind their

competitors who are willing to use their right brain

skills and intuit coming change.

To operate at maximum efficiency, you must learn to be

a balanced thinker.

You not only need to know how to use both sides of your

brain, you must know when to use your rational analytical

skills and when to be more intuitive.

You should develop your reasoning and research skills,

while allowing enough flexibility to follow your hunches.

If you study many of our top executives you`d find they

have two major traits in common.

1. They are goal setters. (left brain)

2. They credit much of their success to following their

hunches. (right brain)

Bottom line.

They are whole brain thinkers.

Your brain is a marvelous creation. Don`t waste either

half.

Use it all.

Become a whole brain thinker and you`ll be ahead of your

competition.

Secret Number 6 Humor and Pleasure

The Taoist`s have a saying, "The Journey is the reward."

High performance thinkers exemplify that remark.

They pick their profession, not because of the money they

expect to make, but because of the joy it brings them.

In the words of J. Paul Getty, they`ve learned to thrive

on the pressure.

They don`t see what they do as do or die.

They`ve learned to laugh at themselves and try not to

take things too seriously.

What others may consider a problem, they consider a

challenge.

Their sense of humor and ability to enjoy their work

increases as their abilities increase.

Many times they spend long hours on a task not because

they feel a need to work hard, but because they have so

much fun at what they do.

When we find joy in doing what we love, time flies by

in the blink of an eye.

If you`re ready to be a high performance thinker, learn

to laugh more.

Find work that gives you joy.

Stop looking at the task at hand as a struggle. View it

as a magnificent game.

To the high performance thinker, there is no line between

work and play. His work is his passion.

In the sports world it`s called being in the zone. High

performance thinkers perform in the same manner.

* They are acting in the moment.

* They have no doubts.

* Time almost stands still.

* They are focused to the point that outside influences

are literally blocked out.

Stop trying so hard and start enjoying the process.

Secret Number 7 The Subconscious Mind

The first six secrets were the blocks building up to the

real secret behind high performance thinking.

High performance thinkers recognize the awesome power of

their subconscious mind.

* Relaxation

* Visualization

* Autosuggestion

* Goal Setting

* Whole-Brained Thinking

* Humor

All of the above are designed to help you unleash the

awesome power of your subconscious mind.

The subconscious has been called the sleeping giant.

It`s like a big bear hibernating during the winter.

It`s waiting for you to wake it so it can do its work.

All systems of mental conditioning from Silva Mind

Control and NLP to the mystical traditions such as Yoga

and the Martial Arts are designed to take us beyond our

cultural conditioning.

They are all designed to help us realize that there is

more to high performance thinking than our logical

analytical thinking.

Hunches, intuition etc. are the results of our subconscious

working behind the scenes.

In the words of Maxwell Maltz, "Within you right now is

the power to do things you never dreamed possible. This

power becomes available to you just as you can change your

beliefs."

That power to make your dreams come true is your

subconscious mind.

Maybe it`s time you woke the sleeping giant and put it to

work for you.
