The complete feature article, Mercury Toxicity and Alzheimer’s Disease, by Steven Wm. Fowkes.

A message from the Steven Wm. Fowkes in 2009

Smart Life News was ahead of its time. It surprises me today that content written more than ten years ago is still largely unknown or unrecognized — particularly given the importance of many of the topics covered.

Nowhere is this more evident than with Alzheimer’s disease. The belief that Alzheimer’s disease is inexorable and that an Alzheimer’s diagnosis is a “death sentence for the mind” is still widespread.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Even the widespread belief, fostered by the Down’s syndrome groups and natal professionals, that children with trisomy 21 are born retarded is still mainstream. This also is untrue. Children with trisomy 21 are born with truly minimal retardation, if any at all. But, if untreated, they become substantially mentally retarded during their first two years of life, due to hydrogen peroxide toxicity caused by their extra SOD gene. The normal “neurological pruning” that takes place during the first two years of life becomes excessive due to the extra hydrogen peroxide, and correctly wired neurons get “accidentally” pruned. The means to minimize this have been known to CERI subscribers since 1996. How many lives could have been better if more prople knew this information?

The key discoveries for making Alzheimer’s disease reversible date back to 2000 and 2001. Eight years have passed, and the word has not spread very far. Don’t waste more time. Learn what you need to know. Now.

My PowerPoint presentation updating the Mercury Toxicity and Alzheimer’s Disease article (linked at the top of this page) has now been converted into a nine-part YouTube video series. To watch it, go to www.YouTube.com and enter my name in the search field, or go to the swfowkes channel. Click on part 1 and start watching. Soon, the Google Tech-Talk channel will also have a video dealing with step-by-step details about how to implement a clinical Alzheimer’s-reversal protocol, with a doctor or at home.

We now live in the age of the brain. It is mind power, not muscle power, that earns the best wages, creates more value in our lives, and gives us the greatest satisfaction of a life well lived. In the words of a 60s anthem, feed your head. The person to do it is you. The technology is in your hands. The average doctor doesn’t have a clue how to do it. Your government is too mired in bureaucracy and conflicts of interest to do it. It's too inexpensive for the drug companies to have any interest in it. As a matter of fact, if you do it, there’s one less person to feed the disease-management industry. They’ll lose money if you do it.

So, what’s stopping you?

Go for it. Feed your brain. Feed your mind. Be the best that you can be, in every way you think is most important.

An old web-site message from the Editor, Steven Wm. Fowkes, from 1998.

Smart Life News (formerly titled Smart Drug News) details the latest medical discoveries and scientific research in the rapidly growing field of cognitive enhancement technologies and related areas like physicial health and psychological well-being. If you are using this menu, maybe you’ve been here before? If you are currently a subscriber, thank you. Half the money we need to do our work comes from subscriptions, and we very much appreciate your support, If you are not a subscriber, why not? Do you not need ongoing information about the latest biologically based treatments for Parkinson’s, Alzheimers’s, or other neurodegenerative diseases? Well, what about age-associated mental impairment that happens in normal, healthy adults? Another way to think about this is personal effectiveness, or being the best that you can be. Who doesn’t want that?

Maybe you think that the newsletter is too technical for you? Well, it might very well be. We certainly do not write for the average person in the street. Such people are not very interested in their cognitive abilities, and often take them for granted. The people we write for are those who are interested in mind, thinking, reasoning, emotions, spirituality, creativity, sleep, sex, curiosity, memory, and all the myriad mental powers that make us human. The important thing to understand is that it does not take above-average intellect to be able to be interested in such things. You just have to want to know. If you want to know, you can get it all explained to your satisfaction. Guaranteed.

Technical language can very easily be daunting. Like any new word, it must be learned, and learning takes effort. So I can pretty much promise you that you will have to work at understanding everything that you will find in the pages of Smart Life News. In other words, it is intended to be a challenge. Are you up to such a challenge? That is the question of the minute.

How good is Smart Life News? It’s the best. But don’t take my word for it. Find out what our present subscribers think by reading their testimonials. Our subscribers are physicians, doctors and pharmacists, and they are housewives, artists, accountants, carpenters, computer programmers, grandmothers and businessmen. They come from pretty much every walk of life, with only one thing in common — a keen interest in high quality health information about the brain and mind.

It is my personal goal to make the technical language of science as easily and readily understandable as possible. I do this because “education” is my most personally rewarding avocation. Plus, I make myself available to subscribers on Tuesday afternoons to talk about anything — absolutely anything — that any subscriber wants to talk about (or does not understand). This time is reserved for subscribers on a first-come, first-served basis. And if you don’t get through on your first call, you can make an appointment for later in the afternoon at your convenience.

So, assess your interest. Take 30 seconds or two miunutes to think about it.

If you are merely curious, then come back and visit as many times as you wish until your curiosity evolves into overt interest. I can't necessarily tell you when that will happen, but it might be when your smart-drug program becomes a permanent lifestyle choice. In other words, when the benefits of using cognitive enhancing technologies becomes so obvious to you within the context of your own life, that you “psychologically invest” in the reality of what you are doing. That happened to me 30 years ago, so I know what it’s like. It could happen to you, too.

Do it now. Make it real. Take your life to the next level.

Thank you for considering these questions.
