There's a lot of money to be made from telling healthy
people they're sick. Some forms of medicalising ordinary life
may nowbe better described as disease mongering
Disease mongering can include turning ordinary ailments into
medical problems,
ď seeing mild symptoms as serious
ď treating personal problems as medical
ď seeing risks as diseases
ď framing prevalence estimates to maximize potential
markets

15. Toxic reactions to drugs
Medications can cause mental decline
With aging, the liver becomes less efficient at metabolizing drugs, and the
kidneys eliminate them from the body more slowly. As a result, drugs tend to
accumulate in the body. Elderly people in poor health and those taking several
different medications are especially vulnerable.
The list of drugs that can cause dementia-like symptoms is long:
â˘antidepressants
â˘antihistamines
â˘anti-Parkinson drugs

17. Thyroid disease
An overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism) is commonly
caused by Gravesâ disease, while an underproduction (hypothyroidism)
usually results from Hashimotoâs thyroiditis. Both disorders can cause
dementia-like symptoms.
Hyperthyroidism. To diagnose hyperthyroidism, physicians use a simple
blood test that measures levels of thyroid hormones. Surgically removing
the thyroid or destroying it with radioactive iodine usually corrects
the cognitive problems.
Hypothyroidism. This is diagnosed by measuring the level of thyroid-
stimulating hormone circulating in the blood. Physicians usually
recommend thyroid hormone replacement, but this treatment doesnât
always reverse the dementia.

25. In Alzheimerâs disease (AD), an association with cholesterol is recognized,
although poorly understood and often overlooked.
A study on membranes prepared from cortical grey matter of AD patients
showed that the cholesterol⌠was reduced by 30%
This aberrant pattern could be restored to that found in the membranes from
non-AD controls by cholesterol enrichment of the AD membranes.
It is of interest, therefore, that mice[cholesterol deficient] show many of the
neurotransmitter deficits and loss of memory that are characteristic of AD
Correspondingly, there is evidence that induced depletions of neuronal
cholesterol can affect synaptic plasticity and neurodegeneration

42. Environment and brain plasticity:
towards an endogenous pharmacotherapy.
Physiol Rev. 2014 Jan
Brain plasticity refers to the remarkable property of cerebral neurons to change
their structure and function in response to experience, a fundamental
theoretical theme in the field of basic research and a major focus for neural
rehabilitation following brain disease.
âŚthe influence exerted by the environment on brain plasticity processes, with
special emphasis on the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms âŚ
highly relevant work performed in humans.
âŚhow changes at the level of neuronal properties can ultimately affect and
direct key perceptual and behavioral outputs.
âŚstriking ability of environmental enrichment and physical exercise to
empower adult brain plasticity.

47. MSG and Depression
Researchers have also discovered that most people with
major depressive disease (MDD) have higher levels of the
neurotransmitter glutamate in their spinal fluid (CSF) and
blood plasma.
This is the same glutamate found as a food additive-for
example, MSG (monosodium glutamate), hydrolyzed
proteins, calcium or sodium casienate, soy protein
isolate, vegetable protein concentrate or isolate, etc.
Free glutamate, that is, existing outside the neurons, is very
toxic to brain connections and brain cells themselves --
mainly by a process called excitotoxicity.
48. Vaccine-related brain injury
Vaccines are made of two components -- the agent you
wish to vaccinate against and an immune adjuvant.
These adjuvants are composed of such things as
aluminum compounds, MSG, lipid compounds and
even mercury.
Studies have shown that these adjuvants, from a single
vaccine, can cause immune overactivation
**No studies show the effects of the hyper-
sensatization of the immune system to yearly flu

âThese findings are consistent with other studies that demonstrated increased

two diagnostic markers  for Alzheimerâs disease.
ď Previous research has shown that mercury can cause the formation of the other

ď Other studies have suggested they might be linked to cancer with rates of bladder tumours
in women who dye their hair twice that of those who keep their natural colour. It is thought
chemicals may build up in the bladder and so damage cells.
ď One Swedish study found that women who use hair dye for 20 years could be doubling
their risk of developing arthritis.
ď Another report suggested the dye could cause birth defects in unborn children when
absorbed through a pregnant mother's scalp and into her bloodstream.

prescriptions per year.
ď By 2007, the average annual prescription rate per capita in the
United States was:
⢠4 prescriptions per child (age 0-18)
⢠Over 11 prescriptions per adult (age 19-64)
⢠Nearly 29 prescriptions per senior, aged 65 and over!
65. Bt trait indeed led to a reduction in insecticide use of 123 million pounds between
1996 and 2011. But that figure is dwarfed by the 527 million pound, GMO-driven
increase in herbicide use over the same period. In other words, GMOs have added
more than four pounds of herbicides to US farm fields for every pound of insecticide
they've taken away. Overall, Benbrook found, GMOs have lead to a net increase in
pesticide use (meaning herbicides plus insecticides) of 404 million pounds, a 7
percent gain.
And just as weeds developed resistance to year-after-year applications of Roundup,
corn's number-one insect pest, the rootworm, is quickly evolving to be able to
withstand Bt-engineered corn, as I've reported before. Benbrook told me that in
areas of the Midwest where farmers have been planting Bt corn year after yearâan
increasingly popular practice, since the explosion in ethanol production that started
in 2006âag university extension experts are suggesting that farmers spray other
insecticides to supplement the failing Bt trait in their corn. "The goal of this
technology was to make it possible not have to spray these corn insecticides, and
now we have to spray them again to bail out this technology," Benbrook told me.

67. Two small trials published in 2000 and 2004 by Matthew Muldoon, a clinical pharmacologis
at the University of Pittsburgh, seem to suggest a link between statins and cognitive
problems. The first, which enrolled 209 high-cholesterol subjects, reported that participants
taking placebo pills improved more on repeated tests of attention and reaction time taken
over the course of six monthsâpresumably getting better because of practice, as people
typically do. Subjects who were on statins, however, did not show the normal improvement
suggesting their learning was impaired. The second trial reported similar findings. And a
study published in 2003 in Reviews of Therapeutics noted that among 60 statin users who
had reported memory problems to MedWatch, more than half said their symptoms improve
when they stopped taking the drugs
