A little bit of aluminum every day can lead to a large amount of accumulated aluminum in the brain. It is estimated that 4% of the aluminum you ingest today will still be in your body 50 years later
Getting Started
1.You
need to drink 3 to 4 cups of silica water to remove
aluminum from your body. Spread your drinking throughout the day. If
you do an activity where you sweat drink some silica water before starting.
2.
Silica supplements will not remove aluminum as some do not have the
form of silica needed to remove aluminum. OSA (orthosilicic acid) is the form
of silica needed. Some silica supplements contain OSA but do not have enough
OSA to remove aluminum. These supplements have been tested by my husband Dennis
N Crouse who is a chemist. Please do not ask or post about silica supplements
in this group.
3. This
is called ‘Targeted Detox” as OSA only removes aluminum. OSA forms a
tight bond with the aluminum which detoxifies the aluminum and also facilitates
the elimination of aluminum from the body. I have information on targeted detox
for mercury, lead and arsenic. Supplement that are either essential to or made
by the body are used to detox. OSA is orthosilicic acid and is the form of
silica found in mineral water.
4.
Fiji water is not the only water that has enough silica to remove
aluminum. There is a list of waters from all over the world that have
enough silica to remove aluminum. https://prevent-alzheimers-autism-stroke.com/2021/08/26/bottled-silica-waters-from-around-the-world/
5.
For a more sustainable way of getting your silica water, there is a recipe for
making your own silica water called Silicade. Dennis N Crouse (my husband) who
is a chemist developed the recipe. Silicade has the same amount of OSA as Fiji
water. https://prevent-alzheimers-autism-stroke.com/silicade/
Preventing or Reversing
Alzheimer's 3 prong approach
1.
Drink silica water to remove aluminum. 3
to 4 cups a day. Spread your drinking throughout the day. If you do an activity
where you sweat drink silica water before the activity.
2. Take
supplements, 'nootropics' to improve brain function. Daily augmentation
with nootropics normally found in the body and regular periodic aerobic
exercise have been demonstrated in human clinical trials to boost cognition and
memory. Link to Crouse Protocol There is a table at the end of the write up. (examples
of nootropics, PQQ, CoQ10) https://prevent-alzheimers-autism-stroke.com/2021/10/25/crouse-protocol-for-reversing-mci-and-ad/
3. Look
for sources of aluminum and eliminate as many as you can. Cookware,
baking powder (a major source), dyes in pharmaceuticals, foods and cosmetics,
anti perspirants, antacids, most drip style coffee makers, drinking water that is treated with alum.
Aluminum
is used as a anti caking agent in many food products. For example: grated parmesan cheese.
For
the antacids you can look for ones that contain calcium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate. Antacids with calcium carbonate: Walgreens antacid white, Tums
Natural, Equate, CVS natural (Look carefully at the labels as each company
makes many different antacids)

Link to anecdotal information from the facebook group and other sources
Some
people with symptoms have seen improvement in 2 months. For others it can take
up to 4 months.

Medication for Alzheimer’s speeds up the progression of Alzheimer's
ARICEPT
AND OTHER CHOLINESTERASE INHIBITORS ACTUALLY INCREASE THE PROGRESSION OF
DEMENTIA
Here
is information about medications which are prescribed for Alzheimer's. If you
or your loved one is on a Cholinesterase inhibitor (medications listed below)
you may want to reconsider.
Aricept
and other Cholinesterase inhibitors actually increase the progression of
dementia.
One
study found 'The mean time to dementia was 30% quicker in the ChEI treated
group than the untreated group'. I decided to make this post because in another
Alzheimer's group a woman posted she forgot her Mom's Aricept medication for a
few days and found her mother was better. I then searched the group and found
two 50 year olds have started on this medication.
Here is an excerpt from Dennis' book: Increasing
IQ, Cognition and COVID-19 Cure Rate with Essential Nutrients
"Efficacy of Cholinesterase Inhibitors
and Memantine
Many
people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD)
are prescribed a cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI). Those with moderate to severe
AD (e.g., Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE] scores below 15) are prescribed
memantine, with in some cases a ChEI. Administration of a ChEI increases the
concentration of acetylcholine by inhibiting its breakdown. These drugs treat
some of the symptoms of MCI, such as memory loss, agitation, apathy, and
psychotic symptoms including delusions, hallucinations, and disordered thought.
Examples of ChEIs are:
•
Galantamine (trade name Razadyne) is approved by the FDA for treatment of
vascular dementia and mild to moderate AD. It enhances memory in brain-damaged
adults544.
•
Rivastigmine (trade name Excelon) is approved to for mild and moderate AD.
•
Donepezil (trade name Aricept) is approved to treat all stages of AD.
A
study was published in 2011 on the efficacy of these three ChEIs and memantine
taken by patients diagnosed with MCI or mild AD. Approximately one-half of 392
MCI patients and two-thirds of 188 mild AD patients were APOE-4 carriers. Among
the MCI patients 33.4% received only ChEIs, 11.7% received ChEIs and memantine,
and 54.9% received neither. Among the 188 AD patients 38.9% received ChEIs,
45.7% ChEIs and memantine, and 15.4% neither817.
The
patients with MCI were divided into three groups, only 22% of the non-treated
group progressed to dementia, 43% of the ChEI treated group progressed to
dementia, and 56% of the group treated with both memantine and ChEI progressed
to dementia. Therefore, there is a greater risk of dementia among people
taking these drugs. The mean time to dementia was 30% quicker in the ChEI
treated group than the untreated group and 42% quicker for the memantine and
ChEI treated group than the untreated group. Both MCI patients and AD patients
who received ChEI treatment had a more severe decline in cognition than
untreated patients. Therefore, these drugs may reduce symptomology of MCI and
AD but both increase the risk of dementia and hasten the progression to
dementia when compared with un-treated people (reference 817).
APOE4 - why are you at
increased risk. It has to do with aluminum
People
with the APOE4 gene produce more beta amyloid which forms neurotoxic oligomers
that react with aluminum to form neurotoxic droplets (Nano droplets) of amyloid
oligomers. These neurotoxic droplets are very stable and mobile in the brain
and are “freezing” the amyloid in the oligomeric state. These beta amyloid
oligomers are 10 times more neurotoxic than amyloid plaque.”
Here
is link to the introduction of my husband's 4th book. It has information on
APOE 4. There are graphs with information on risk based on APOE status. http://prevent-alzheimers-autism-stroke.blogspot.com/2022/03/finding-cause-and-potential-cures-for.html
My Rant: HAVING
APOE 4/4 DOES NOT MEAN YOU WILL GET ALZHEIMER’S!
I am
saddened, angry and frustrated when I read posts from people with APOE 4/4 (or
3/4) who are scared of getting Alzheimer’s, and enrolling in studies that
target beta amyloid and Tau. This shouldn’t be and doesn’t have to be the case.
I am
hopeful the information provided in this group from my husband’s writing has and
will decreased people’s fear. Simply put aluminum is the cause of
Alzheimer’s and removing aluminum by drinking silica water and reducing your
exposure to aluminum will prevent you from getting Alzheimer’s. I am
angry because the pharmaceutical industry and the Alzheimer’s association pray
on people’s fear so they can get people into drug trials. Drug
trials targeting Beta amyloid over the past 2 decades have failed but yet these
trials continue. They are now targeting younger people stating if we remove the
beta amyloid earlier by drugs we can prevent Alzheimer’s. This won’t happen
because aluminum makes the beta amyloid toxic. This is explained in more detail
in my husband’s 4th book Rung 6. For example: Beta-Amyloid-42 is a
Biomarker of AD. “Aluminum containing Ab-42 oligomers (0.5mM) are more
neurotoxic than aluminum-free Ab-42 oligomers (0.5mM)53 .” http://prevent-alzheimers-autism-stroke.blogspot.com/2022/03/finding-cause-and-potential-cures-for.html
Myths I have
encountered
"A
few things happened this week that got me thinking about some of the myths I
encountered when I was first learning about Alzheimer's and how much my
perspective and knowledge base about the disease has changed over the past 10
years.
I
have learned that:
1. Memory
loss is not an inevitable part of aging (senior moments are not
normal)
2. Only
a small percentage of Alzheimer's is genetic
3. Having
the APOE-4 gene makes a person at higher risk for Alzheimer's
but doesn't mean you will get Alzheimer's
4. Of
course the most important thing I learned is Aluminum is the cause of
Alzheimer's and the OSA (silica) in drinking water can effectively remove
aluminum from the body
5. Beta
Amyloid is not the cause of Alzheimer's and this is why drugs
targeting Beta Amyloid have failed over the past 2 decades.
6.
There is a 'treatment' for Alzheimer's. The progression of the disease can be
stopped and a person's cognition can be improved.
7.
Alzheimer's can be prevented. A world without aluminum would be a world without
Alzheimer's.

PQQ and CQ10
Here is information
about PQQ (miracle grow for the brain). You want to take this in combination
with CoQ10. PQQ stimulates both neurite growth and mitochondrial biogenesis.
CoQ10 improves the energy efficiency of mitochondria. PQQ taken together with
CoQ10 improves cognition in the ageing brain. Below is an excerpt from my
husband's first book. and a link to more information on PQQ.
There are six reasons
to take PQQ:
• PQQ protects
mitochondria from oxidative stress due to nitric oxide (NO) produced by the
brain’s glial cells in response to aluminum. PQQ lowers NO production by
inhibiting the expression of genes responsible for the production of inducible
nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)121,261-263 . With the help of glutathione PQQ also
acts as a stable antioxidant264,265 .
• PQQ promotes the
generation of new mitochondria, called mitochondrial biogenesis266 that increases
energy efficiency of mitochondria267 .
• PQQ increases
production of nerve growth factor (NGF) in the mitochondria268 that results in
increased neurite growth and improved memory269,270 .
• PQQ when taken
before and after a stroke can help to avoid vascular dementia by reducing
memory impairment due to lack of oxygen271,272 . Since we don’t know when a
stroke might occur, taking PQQ daily is advised.
• PQQ partially
inhibits Aβ oligomer formation from Aβ peptides, one of the hallmarks of AD273 .
• PQQ binds to
α-synuclein preventing formation of aggegates274. Formation of αsynuclein
aggregates is believed to be the first step in Lewy body formation leading to
Lewy body dementia (see Appendix I).
BAKING POWDER A Major SOURCE OF ALUMINUM
Baking
powder is a major source of aluminum and you should look for an aluminum free
baking powder or make your own. Recipe to make your own. There is 48,600 mcg/tsp of aluminum in baking powder.
1 part Baking Soda
2
parts Cream of Tartar
(optional)
1 part Corn Starch (so it doesn't cake) Store in an airtight container
You may need a shifter when using this baking powder.
Here
are some baked goods you want to make sure the baking powder is aluminum
free. I am a baker and some of these I was surprised to learn could contain aluminum laden baking powder.
Tortillas,
biscotti, scones, corn bread (a lot of baking powder), some muffin recipes,
some fried chicken, some cookies (most recipes use baking soda), some donuts,
pancakes, and cakes. I am sure I have missed a few.
Here
is an excerpt from a letter I give to bakeries
"A
daily diet of pancakes, waffles, muffins, or biscuits increases the risk of
Alzheimer’s by 760%. This is because most commercial baking powder contains
sulfate, phosphate, and pyrophosphate salts of aluminum used to acidify baking
soda during baking.
Muffins
and other baked goods made with aluminum containing baking powder are beyond
TOXIC for your brain!!!! For instance, muffins made this way can contain 20 mg
of aluminum per muffin. These muffins made with baking powder
containing aluminum have 200 times higher aluminum levels than the safe
aluminum level in a quart of drinking water. A little bit of aluminum
every day can lead to a large amount of accumulated aluminum in the brain. It
is estimated that 4% of the aluminum you ingest today will still be in your
body 50 years later."
