“Star Wars” berry SLOWS Alzheimer’s?

A lot of sad words are associated with Alzheimer’s disease.

Hopeless… Loss… Incurable…

Not to mention, there’s NO SUREFIRE treatment for the disease!

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

Here’s how you can stack the deck back in your favor.

“Qi” is considered the life force or ENERGY inherent in all living things.

It sounds a little bit like “The Force” from the Star Wars movie franchise…

Except this is REAL!

Ancient Chinese medicine practitioners have long believed that qi has a 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 bring new “energy” and “life” to the lives being ruined by Alzheimer’s.

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.

To never stopping the Alzheimer’s fight,
