Using Green Tea To Boost Your Memory 

A study published in Plus, conducted by researchers at the University of Basel in Switzerland, compared the effects of drinking green tea compared to drinking a whey-based soft drink on a dozen healthy volunteers. While the volunteers drank their beverages, the researchers observed their brain activity with MRI scans and asked them to complete tasks which required short term memory.

The green tea drinkers performed better on their tests which showed there was greater connectivity between the parts of the brain involved with memory processing as compared to the whey drinkers. The researchers believe it’s a compound in the tea called EGCG that’s having this positive impact on memory.

In another study from the University of Missouri, the researchers gave mice EGCG and had them exercise. They found that the combination slowed the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in these mice, which were engineered to have Alzheimer’s. The mice also did better on tests of memory.

So…remember to have not one cup but four or five cups of green tea a day.

Antibiotics May Be Hurting Your Memory

Speaking of memory, antibiotics may be hurting your memory ability. You go to the doctor for a cold and the doc gives you an antibiotic to take even though your cold was caused by a virus and antibiotic drugs don’t kill viruses. Taking the antibiotic drug also kills the good bacteria in your gut. You might be saying, “No big deal”. Well, it actually is a very big deal. The antibiotic may also be inhibiting the growth of new cells in the part of the brain associated with memory. The researchers believe that the antibiotic is causing this damage by lowering levels of a type of white blood cell that is thought to connect the gut, brain and immune system.

So…what you need to do if you can’t avoid taking the antibiotic for an infection, as these researchers suggest, is to take a probiotic supplement at the same time as the antibiotic. Keep taking the supplement for several weeks after the surgery to keep developing and feeding the good bacteria.

A Possible Solution For Tinnitus

Ringing in the ears, known as tinnitus, affects up to 15% of the people in the US and it’s difficult to treat. There’s now a powerful option available to people with tinnitus. It’s taking an extract from pine-bark called Pycnogenol. When Pycnogenol was used in addition to conventional therapies in one study, it brought complete relief from the ringing in 45% of the patients within three months and in 87% within six months. The researchers think that tinnitus is often caused by poor circulation in the inner ear and that Pycnogenol improves blood flow to the ear. The recommended dose is 150 mg per day. So…if you have tinnitus, give yourself a six month trial to see what happens to your ringing.

 Using Our Sweat To Diagnose Illnesses  

A team of researchers lead by Professors John A. Rogers and Yonggang Huang from the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University have developed a soft, flexible, wearable device that collects and analyzes sweat for health monitoring. The device looks like a tattoo and it allows users to monitor their healing instantly without the need for a blood sample or a battery to operate the device. The device currently analyzes four biomarkers: glucose, chloride, lactate and pH, as well as, sweat rate, total sweat loss and cystic fibrosis.

The designers believe that this device matches the results from high end hospital equipment. They are also looking at expanding the range of diseases that can be diagnosed using sweat since sweat is the equivalent of having a rich chemical broth to examine.

  

Where Is the Placebo Effect Located in Your Brain?

 As I’ve reported a number of times in previous Teplitz Reports and also talked about in some of my programs, we now know that the placebo effect is not just psychological but that it is also a physiological response in your brain. When the placebo effect is triggered by a verbal suggestion, the brain can respond by releasing pain reducing chemicals. Now researchers at Northwestern University have found the region of the brain responsible for the placebo effect for pain relief. The researchers used MRI scanners to local the area. This research has the potential to open up ways of our tapping into our placebo effect to increase our body’s abilities to heal.

How To Have A Safe Colonoscopy 

Having to go through a colonoscopy to see if you have polyps or cancer growing in your intestines is not the most pleasant thought. To make the experience safer there are some questions that you need to ask the doctor before the procedure to make sure you have the least possibility of complications occurring after the colonoscopy is completed.

Since most colonoscopies cannot been autoclaved by using high heat to sterilize it, doctors need to use other disinfection techniques and agents which according to Dr. Joseph Mercola are grossly inadequate. This means that infections can be spread from one patient to another.

To protect yourself, ask the staff at the hospital or clinic how the endoscope was cleaned between patients. If the hospital or clinic uses peracetic acid, then the likelihood of infections is very low. If they use Cidex, then you have a problem because Cidex doesn’t properly sterilize these tools. And to top it off, 80% of the clinics use Cidex. If yours is one that uses Cidex, then go somewhere else that uses peracetic acid.

The Other Side Of Vaccinations 

 Are the vaccinations that babies and kids receiving doing good or harm? Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is on the harm side. At a recent press conference, Kennedy showed a stack of 240 scientific studies that have been unreported by the media and in medical journals linking vaccines that contain mercury to a host of chronic and acute neurotoxin disorders from ADHD to allergies to autism. Kennedy actually issued a challenge to the press for someone to show him just one legitimate scientific study that says mercury in vaccines is proven safe and that he’d pay the person $100,000. Guess what? Not a single reporter has taken him up on the challenge.

You’d think with all the proponents of vaccinations out there someone would have jumped at the chance to claim the $100,000. Since no one did, maybe it’s time for the media to look at those 240 studies to get at the truth about vaccines.
