They’ve pumped enough money into Alzheimer’s disease research to fund a Mars colony.
And maybe that’s where we should send those clowns – because a new report reveals what all that money HASN’T found.
It uncovers a way to BEAT Alzheimer’s disease by helping to make sure it never strikes. And DELAYING its progression when it does.
This revolutionary solution didn’t cost billions to develop. And it won’t cost you an arm and a leg, either.
In fact, it’ll set you back about $2.99. And yes, that decimal point IS in the right place.
That’s not per day, mind you. It’s not even per “dose” because it’s not a drug or even a supplement.
It’s a $2.99 purchase a few times a year. And it could help make you practically Alzheimer’s disease proof.
Ready to find out what this brain-saving secret is?
It’s a simple toothbrush.
How dirty teeth lead to a “dirty brain”
New research finds a direct link between poor oral hygiene and Alzheimer’s disease.
That might sound a little unlikely at first. But believe it or not, there’s some real science you can sink your teeth into here.
You see, the same harmful germs that eat away at teeth and gums turn into a NIGHTMARE once they get further inside your body.
Oral germs have been linked to heart attack, stroke, and – the illness I’m focusing on today – dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
One study found Porphyromonas gingivalis – the germ behind gum disease – in the brains of EVERY dementia patient they examined.
Now, the NEW study finds that was no random coincidence. And it’s not some other strain of the same germ that happened to find its way into the brain.
Using DNA tracking, they found that Porphyromonas gingivalis starts in the mouth, rotting out teeth and gums. And then the germ heads inside the body and makes a beeline for the brain.
And once inside, it opens shop.
It starts cranking out proteins that wipe out nerve cells in the brain… which can lead to cognitive decline, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease.
That helps explain a study a few years back that found people who have gum disease for 10 years or more have a 70 percent higher risk of Alzheimer’s.
Protect your brain from Alzheimer’s disease
The solution here is pretty obvious: Get a good toothbrush and use it.
Brush at least twice a day with a fluoride-free toothpaste that uses baking soda or hydrogen peroxide to slash your risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
And of course be sure to floss, because while the jury is still out on whether or not flossing makes much of a difference when it comes to cavities, that’s FAR from the only reason to get the germ-promoting gunk out of your gums.
But be sure to use unwaxed floss. It’s a little rougher, but that’s what helps pluck all the bacteria out of the nooks and crannies in your teeth. Plus, certain waxed varieties contain cancer-linked chemicals.
Can’t live without the wax? Don’t trade Alzheimer’s disease risk for cancer risk. Simply choose a floss with a safer natural coating, such as Tom’s of Maine.
