    As a physician I am here to tell you that Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Dementia is 100% reversible if doctors were knowledgeable on how to locate and remove the mercury and aluminum that ALWAYS shows up in ALL their brains. I am a leader of environmental medicine and I make up only a small percentage of clinicians that knows exactly what causes all brain conditions including Autism. It is ALL heavy metal related, every single one of them. The entire medical profession still refuses to look at these environmental effects and are clueless on how to even get it out of the body. I have reversed these conditions routinely. But since there is no pharmaceutical drug that will ever get the job done, the public is left in the dark about the truth.

    I am terrified of this disease as it was present in family members who made it into their 80's. How does the holistic doctor reverse this condition? What can we do to avoid mercury and aluminum buildup? I exercise like mad hoping it will help the brain too. Thank you for any advice and suggestions.

    I would like to help implement and facilitate an information and pro active network. Earlier rather than later for Alzheimers and dementia have to be "ALL GOOD".

    To help with cognitive function, vitamin B-12, along with B-6 and Folic Acid, can help improve short term memory. After we reach about the age of 45-50 (everyone is different), our bodies have used the B-12 in our bodies. By supplementing, you may notice short-term memory and focus problems improve.

    Dear Dr Margolis, We are a group of international mountain climbers that are climbing one major mountain a year in the name of Alzheimer's Research and awareness. The project is Ten Mountains in Ten Years. This year we are headed to Kilimanjaro. We will be producing a film trilogy on the event and all the proceeds go to Alzheimer's research. The particulars can be accessed at www.theregulars.org . We invite you to take a look and comment. Any one can donate directly to Alz on this site. Bill Glover

    My father is now passing on and in advanced stages of dementia, it has been a long good-bye with that very special one. Things perhaps could have turned out better. I found that it is not enough to rely on that "diagnosis" and treat the symptoms. There was a chance early on to treat the cause had we understood it. Unfortunately, for my dad, too much time went by and the damage was done, we learned things in retrospect. My advice is to find the brain-specialists in the diseases early stages, see several, and learn all you can, family doctors have their place but a diagnosis of dementia is not good enough, there are many causes and some are treatable.

    I am doing experiments on my mother using gasoline in a mixture of salt. Once ingested, the electric signals in the brain activate the gasoline molecules accetuated by the sodiumcloride in the blood stream. thus this breaks down the plaque molecuels which are absorbed in the blood stream and processed in the liver and bile then released as waste
