Neurologist: The Shocking ROOT CAUSE of Alzheimer’s - How To Prevent & REVERSE Damage To Your Brain | Dr. David Perlmutter

Yeah, I think it's an interesting area to explore. I'm not sure even that, you know, I can't quote you research that's ongoing as it relates to that. But I think it's interesting.

I guess go with all this well here's where I'm gonna go with it and that is it doesn't need to be injected so that opens the door to topicals and the risk of toxicity in the human body from what we are exposing us ourselves to with anything that's put on topically whether we think we're doing the right thing by using sunscreen or moisturizers this is well beyond the notion of

hair dye and all of that type of stuff, which clearly represented a danger. In fact... How dangerous is hair dye? Well, originally, the original work on hair dye was done by Dr. Bruce Ames. So Dr. Ames, decades ago, was able to identify certain chemicals in hair dyes that were carcinogenic and developed a bacterial test using a type of bacteria, I think it was streptococcal,

that could be used globally to evaluate various chemicals in terms of their carcinogenicity. Could they cause cancer? And so he was able to identify certain components of hair dye that were indeed quite threatening.

The question then arises in terms of have they been thoroughly vetted? And that is worrisome because Most of these products haven't really undergone rigorous human trials or even animal trials that are still sold in stores that may well be threatening. There's really no review process for these products.

It's entering through the skin, your scalp. But interestingly, the part of the system that is alive is, of course, the cells in the skin that manufacture and color your hair. So the cells, the melanocytes that are involved in giving your hair color decline in function over time as their mitochondria begin to fail.

So as their mitochondria begin to fail, they're less able to create the color of your hair and your hair turns gray. So the more you color your hair, you're weakening the mitochondria. No, no, I didn't say that. Okay.

What I'm saying is the more these cells that are involved in keeping your hair colored are declining in terms of their functionality, the less able they are to impart color into the hair and your hair turns gray. And that's your total health, that's your environment, the foods you're eating, your sleep. To some degree, there's certainly a lot of heredity involved in it as well.

But these cells become what's called senescent, which means they lose their ability to divide, they lose their ability to function. And the fact that they are senescent oftentimes allows them to create certain chemicals that causes the next cell adjacent to them to also become senescent and less functional. It's why people develop a patch of gray hair in certain areas and it tends to spread.

Yeah, I've got a little bit of that. A little bit here. Can you reverse gray hair? It's a good question. I've wondered, and this is not a pitch, but I've wondered if either NAD or urolithin might help reverse gray hair. NAD. NAD. NAD perhaps. Not NAD per se, but NAD NMN or NR, nicotinamide mononucleotide or nicotinamide riboside, the precursors for NAD in the human body.
