Alzheimer’s is type 3 diabetes. “Alzheimer’s is a process by which excess amyloid plaque builds up in the brain, compromising brain function.
While many theories exist as to why the plaque accumulates, one common theory is that it is due to a lack of a protein called insulin-degrading enzyme.
This protein’s job is to remove excess sugar-carrying insulin and amyloid plaque from the brain.
If this enzyme is too busy removing insulin and excess sugar from the brain due to high blood sugar levels, there may not be enough to also remove excess plaque, thereby significantly increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s.”

Recovery from autism is possible. Most, if not all, cases have gut dysbiosis, which is fed by the Standard American Diet (SAD) full of sugar and processed foods.
Brominated flame retardants are neurotoxic and are linked to neurodevelopmental disorders like autism, ADHD and SPD.
“This study is one of few studies and so far the largest one investigating the neurobehavioral effects of brominated flame retardants in humans.
Consistently with experimental animal data, PBDE (flame retardant) exposure was associated with changes in the motor function and the serum levels of the thyroid hormones.” Read more…

There is no safe level of mercury, and it causes neurological damage, such as autism, PDD-NOS, ADHD, developmental delays and sensory processing disorder.
A lower amount of the antioxidant glutathione means that mercury will accumulate in the body.
