A Balance Test to Predict Alzheimer’s Disease

There’s now a simple balance test that may predict cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s Disease.

This study was published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and was carried out in 16 university hospitals with 686 outpatients.

What the participants did was a one-leg balance where they were asked to stand on one leg for as long as possible. The results were abnormal when the participant was unable to stand on one leg for 5 seconds or more.

The participants who were judged abnormal on the test showed significantly more cognitive decline at 12, 18 and 24 months than participants who were normal at the beginning of the study and at the follow-up.

The researchers believe that the one-leg balance test is a predictor of advanced dementia.
 

So, What to Do If You Do Have Abnormal Test Results on the Balance Test?

Until recently there hasn’t been a really effective treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. The only approach was prevention strategies.

Well, there is now a safe, inexpensive and effective treatment. It is using niacinamide, which is the no-flush form of niacin or Vitamin B3.

An observational study of over 6,000 people 65 years of age and older found that compared to people in the lowest fifth of niacin intake, those with higher intake had reduced between 20% to 50% the progression and risk of Alzheimer's Disease. This result was after adjustment for age, sex, race, education, ApoE type and intake of vitamins E & C as well as beta-carotene. The effect was specific to B3, as opposed to the other B vitamins [JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGY, NEUROSURGERY, AND PSYCHIATRY; Morris,MC; 75(8):1093-1099 (2004)].

In recent research, Niacinamide was shown to cause a 60% decrease in the marker called tau protein.

Niacinamide additionally increased microtubules, which carry information inside brain cells. Microtubules are like highways inside the cells. Niacinamide makes the highways wider and more stable.

Some of the research done with mice and niacinamide brought the mice back to the level where they didn’t have the pathology. It even improved the behavior in non-demented animals.

The researchers think that niacinamide is good for Alzheimer’s disease and normal people, too. Since niacinamide has been used extensively for many purposes over the past 60 years, its safety is well proven.

The amount of niacinamide that is recommended is 1,000 milligrams taken three times a day.

In adult doses above 3 grams per day niacinamide has a potential for causing liver damage [DIABETOLOGIA; Knip,M; 43(11):1337-1345 (2000)]. Always seek your doctor’s advice in determining dosage safe for you.

As an aside, nearly everyone in another study reported that their arthritis symptoms disappeared after three to four of months of taking niacinamide.


 

Electromagnetic Fields Can Affect Pregnant Women’s Babies

A study published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine strapped monitors to pregnant women to measure their exposure to low-frequency electromagnetic fields. These are fields generated by everything from power lines, microwave ovens, hair dryers and vacuum cleaners.

The researchers followed the children over their first 13 years and found that those born to mothers with the highest levels of exposure were three times as likely to have asthma as kids whose moms had the lowest exposure.

So… one option you have to prevent being affected by electromagnetic fields is to wear a QLink like I do (for other reasons besides being pregnant, LOL, such as, preventing the impact of cell phone radiation).

Great Results At My Physical Examination

With all the things I personally do to manage my stress and increase my longevity, I thought I’d report to you the results from my latest physical examination by my doctor.

Now, keep in mind as you read these results, I turned 64 in March.

My blood pressure is 100/58 (normal for my age is 134/87), my pulse is 62 beats per minute (normal for my age is 72-75), my total cholesterol is 185 and my cholesterol ratio is a low 3.36, and my Vitamin D is 53.1 (above 50 is in the optimum rate). On every other measurement I was within the standard ranges.

The other plus is I don’t look my age, act my age or feel my age - Pretty cool!

 

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

It turns out only a tiny portion of your mind is dedicated to conscious behavior. The rest is the subconscious mind regulating our organs, digestion, breathing and even the flashes of insight we get.

The best way to mess up this finely tuned system is to attempt to do even simple things consciously. Some simple examples: if you play the piano, concentrate on your fingers: and if you are a golfer, analyze your swing while you are doing it. This type of memory is called implicit memory, which means that your brain holds this knowledge and your mind cannot explicitly access it. These two types of memory are so distinct you can damage one without hurting the functioning of the other.

An illustration would be research that has been done with patients who cannot consciously recall new experiences in their lives. The researchers spent the afternoon teaching the patients a video game. The next day, the patients said they had no recollection of learning the game and that they had never see it before. When the researchers looked at the patient’s performance, they found the patients improved as much as a group of controls who had no memory problems. This means the implicit part of their brain learned the game and it allowed them to improve their skills.

Another example is with dementia patients. If you read them a story one day and then read the same story the next several days, the dementia patients will become bored even though they have no conscious memory of having heard the story before.

So…if you know someone with dementia, make sure to continue to give them varied activities to do.

The Brain and The Impact of a Smile

What kind of brain wave patterns does looking at someone smile trigger?

Well, it turns out that a smile triggers the same brain wave pattern as if you learned that you had just won $40,000. Researchers also discovered that those who smiled the most lived an extra seven years.

So…$40,000…Seven Years…why that’s enough to make you smile!

 

You’re Crazy… If You Don’t Take The Next Opportunity To Attend the Switched-On Selling™ and Switched-On Network Marketing™ Seminars & Instructor Trainings In September 

I’ve never said this before - Because of the powerful impact of my Switched-On Selling™ (SOS) and Switched-On Network Marketing™ Seminars (SONM), you’ve got to be crazy to pass up the opportunity to take the class I’m conducting on September 9 in Virginia Beach, VA.

All you have to do to convince yourself is take the time to read all the research studies we’ve done over the last 22 years validating the impact of these training programs (Click here to read them now).

Let me put it this way - don’t spend another cent on a sales training seminar, CD, DVD or book until you’ve taken either the Switched-On Selling™ or Switched-On Network Marketing™ Seminars.

"Put every other training on hold until you master Switched-On Selling™ - then watch the impact this powerful training will have on your profit account next quarter.”
B.J. Dohrmann, Founder of CEOSPACE, best- selling author, and Radio show host

These seminars are absolutely unique, helping you to rewire your brain so that whatever is stopping you from being successful in sales or network marketing will be gone in minutes. Once you’ve finished the class, you can go back to learning the technique side of selling or network marketing and you’ll find it’s a breeze to actually do what you’re learning.

Let me give you one example of the impact that the Switched-On Selling™ Seminar had on Serge Gravelle, President/CEO of My Mall Network Corporation. Serge is a webmaster and had gone to a conference three times to market his web services without closing a single sale. Now webmasters are not noted for being highly effective sales people, so here’s what changed for Serge within 24 hours after attending the SOS Seminar:

“The results were instantaneous. At the end of the first day we had closed seven contracts, seven times more than we had done during the preceding eight months. By the end of the show, we had signed eighteen contracts. The best part is that I enjoyed making the sales, a feeling I had a hard time experiencing in the past."

Take a look at the actual statistics from a company that put their sales force through the SOS seminar during the middle of the worst recession since the depression. Kevin Kordek is the CEO of A-Active Termite and Pest Control and the immediate past president of the National Pest Control Association. In August 2009, he decided to put half his sales force through the one-day Switched-On Selling Seminar. The results were so positive that Kevin put the rest of his people through the seminar in October.

I spoke to him over a year later and Kordek told me results started happening from the first group of eight sales people he put through the seminar. Kevin said six of them immediately jumped above his top-tier salespeople. These Switched-On Selling attendees had set an entirely new level of success within the company!

After putting the rest of the sales force through the October class, I waited until a year had passed to find out what changed. Kevin told me that his company’s profits doubled, they became the #1 distributor in the country on two of their high-end product lines, and that one of his salespeople even increased his closing percentage by 300 percent!

Keep in mind this was during the recession and the slow recovery while most of the other companies in the Pest Control industry were falling apart.

Was there anything special or different about Kevin’s sales people? I asked Kevin and he simply said “No. The first group was made up of mediocre sales people before they attended the one day SOS seminar.”

To help entice you to come to Virginia Beach September 9 to attend the class, I have set up an early bird registration fee plus for the first 10 people who register for either the SOS or SONM Seminars, you will also receive a F.R.E.E. copy of my Amazon #1 bestselling book Switched-On Selling: Balance Your Brain For Sales Success! (The material in both SOS and SONM are so similar that I teach them both at the same time on September 9).

Remember, instead of being crazy for not attending the SOS or SONM Seminars, you can be labeled “Very Smart!”
