Question 8 from a written interview by Dennis N Crouse on Substack.
Your work has led to the development of the "Crouse Protocol" for reversing mild cognitive impairment and preventing Alzheimer's. Could you walk us through the key components of this protocol, explaining how you determined which nutritional supplements to include, and discuss whether you see these elements as equally crucial or if some play a more pivotal role than others in cognitive health?
Dr. Philippe Grandjean coined the term “brain drainers” for a group of chemicals and viruses that cause cognitive decline in children and adults and lower IQ in newly born babies. Dr. Grandjean asked a simple question “Could science develop some kind of antidote to counteract brain drain?” The answer is yes and it has been developed. I suggest that people daily take five “brain savers” that are targeted to facilitate targeted detoxification and elimination of “brain drainers”. These targeted brain savers are both essential nutrients and the most important part of the Crouse protocol:
•
OSA – for targeted detox of aluminum 3 to 4 cups a day of greater than 49ppm OSA mineral water
•
Vitamin D –lowers serum and tissue aluminum levels in people with kidney disease and prevents stroke damage - 2,000 IU per day
•
L-Selenomethionine - for targeted detox of mercury and arsenic and boosting the immunological system - 100 – 200mg per day
•
Vitamin B50 or B100 time release once a day - for targeted detox of lead by vitamin B1 and PCBs by vitamin B3. In addition, B6 and B12 may lower homocysteine.
•
Zinc Picolinate or Zinc Bisglycinate - for targeted detox of lead - 25-30mg per day
Next most important part of the Crouse protocol is improving mitochondrial energy production with two brain savers that are produced by the body but the bodies production declines with age:
•
PQQ –for promoting mitochondrial biogenesis, neurite growth, increased cognition, and out-performs vitamin C as an antioxidant - 20-25mg per day
•
CoQ10 –for mitochondrial energy production and improved cognition - 400mg per day as ubiquinone or 200mg per day as ubiquinol
In addition, I recommend 3 brain savers for lowering homocysteine to protect your vascular system because without a working vascular system your brain will not function properly:
•
5-MTHF (a.k.a. Methyl Folate) – for lowering homocysteine – 400mcg per day.
•
TMG (a.k.a. Trimethylglycine) – for lowering homocysteine – 500mg per day (not recommended for diabetics)
•
Lower Alcohol Consumption - for lowering homocysteine
Finally, I recommend 3 brain savers for increased production of neurons called neurogenesis.
•
Lutein – for increased BDNF and neurogenesis – 10–40mg per day
•
Taurine and Aerobic Exercise – for increased BDNF and neurogenesis - 1.5gr per day
•
Vitamin-MK-4 – for increased neurogenesis and bone mineral density (not recommended for those on anticoagulants) – 5-15mg per day
