Join us on this episode as we welcome Arnold Eiser, an internal medicine physician, as he shares his insights on Alzheimer’s disease. Arnold believes that Alzheimer’s may be largely preventable, despite conventional wisdom suggesting otherwise. He argues that the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s is largely extracranial and that environmental toxins play a significant role in its development.
Alzheimer's disease may be largely preventable through a Mediterranean or Japanese diet, exercise, avoiding biotoxins, and moderating alcohol consumption. However, it may be difficult to gain acceptance and funding in the medical community due to current treatments' dominant theory and profit margins.
Arnold R. Eiser is an internal medicine physician.He shares his story and discusses his book, Preserving Brain Health in a Toxic Age: New Insights from Neuroscience, Integrative Medicine, and Public Health.
Paracelsus advanced the concept that three elements: mercury, sulphur, and salt contained the poisons that contributed to all human diseases. Today we know that these three elements are not the be all and end all of illness.

In December 2020, as an unpredictable year was ending, a monumental but overlooked report was published in the journal Nature
. Researchers in Israel released a mind-blowing new assessment showing that human-made material now outweighs Earth’s entire biomass for the first time. The mass of ‘stuff’ we’ve created now exceeds all the plants, animals, fungi and bacteria on our planet combined.
While concrete and construction aggregates like gravel make up most of the total, the study found there is now far more plastic on Earth than all land animals and marine creatures put together. All of the great whales, every fish, every bird, every coral reef and every other animal on Earth adds up to 4 gigatonnes. All plastic in use, in landfill and in our oceans weighs double that, at 8 gigatonnes.
