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

Yeah, and I think it really stems from our beliefs. There's a long difficult quote from Mahatma Gandhi that says, our beliefs become our thoughts, our thoughts become our words, our words become our actions, our actions become our habits, our actions, our habits ultimately become our destiny. and i.e. our beliefs become our destiny.

Our beliefs, if we believe that we can live our lives and that medicine's gonna save us, will be our destiny. That we will be destined to these diseases that we so fear. People fear Alzheimer's more than any other situation at the end of their lives. The ability or the lack of their ability for self-care. and becoming a burden to others. And relying on other people for everything.

Robert Kennedy said, some men see things as they are and say, why others see things as they could be and say, why not? I think these days it should be some people. Let's make it politically correct. The point is, how it could be is no Alzheimer's. It could be eradicated. Or we could cut it in half. We could absolutely cut it in half if this messaging could be worked into policy.

Well, we've gotten really away from our Paleolithic ancestry, which is basically genetically who we are. We're still Paleolithic individuals and we are still, you know, our whole physiology via our genetics is designed to express itself in a way that keeps us healthy, provided it receives the external environmental signaling, i.e. food, etc., that is in alignment with our genetics, and it is not.

Well, what is lifespan? And when you talk about the lifespan of our population, if you were to determine the lifespan of the population, look at in 1900, you take a thousand people and ask yourself, how long did they live? And then you make the average. Well, in those days, there was a lot of childhood death. There was a lot of infant mortality. There was a lot of death around childbirth.

And that shortened lifespan. There was a lot of death from trauma, a lot of death from infection. And those things, paying attention to those things, improved our lifespan. And you're right. Lifespan did increase over time. But interestingly now, in the past four years, for the first time in human history, lifespan is declining.

So it's finally caught up with us. Really? We've really kind of... What is the lifespan for men and women in America currently? So we're in the mid-70s now for men and late 70s for women. And... We can do so much better than that. And what's killing people now? It's not as much the infectious diseases.

What's killing people, I mentioned it earlier, according to the World Health Organization, number one cause are chronic degenerative conditions that rob us of our ability not just to live a long life, but to have a longer health span so we live a healthier life. And these are conditions caused by disruption of our metabolism. We'd close the circle.

Well, I have to admit, I certainly don't dwell on the fact that I'm where I am on the chronological clock. I do know that my biological clock puts me in the low 60s. That's certainly a good thing. That's great. Yeah.
