Far East “energy berry” sends ALZHEIMER’S BACKPEDALING

Many words come to mind when you think of Alzheimer’s disease.

Hopeless… Terrifying… Saddening… Incurable…

Just to name a few.

But that doesn’t mean you or a loved one can’t FIGHT BACK.

Sure, there’s no magic cure for Alzheimer’s…

But today I’ve got news on a berry from the Far East that can stack the deck back in your favor.

In traditional Chinese medicine “qi” is considered the life force or ENERGY inherent in all living things.

Ancient practitioners have long believed that qi has positive impact on multiple pathways in the body – including the heart, lungs, and mind.

They also believe that qi can be stimulated by a fruit-bearing vine that contains a berry called Schisandra.

It’s purple-red berries are described as having five tastes – sweet, salty, bitter, pungent, and sour. This cornucopia of flavors is precisely why many don’t use it as a food.

But the extract pulled from Schisandra has been used for medicinal purposes throughout Asia and Russia for thousands of years.

And today, it’s helping breed new “energy” and “life” into fleeting memories.

A recent study on Schisandra found that it had a positive effect on Alzheimer’s – specifically BLOCKING formation of excess amyloid beta peptides in the brain.

These peptides are one of the culprits responsible for forming amyloid plaque – a substance found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease.

Again, not a CURE – but anything you can do to stop memory-slashing plaques from forming is going to lower your risk.

There are three compounds extracted from the Schisandra plant — Schisandrins A, B, and C.

It was Schisandrin B that had the most positive impact on Alzheimer’s.

When looking for Schisandra (which can be found in powder, pill, or liquid form), make sure it contains that “B” compound and only take the dosage listed on the product label.

Talk to your doctor about Schisandra – especially if there’s a history of Alzheimer’s in your family.
