Memory Support
There are many aspects to brain health. We have all
experienced mornings when we wake up and struggle with
simple tasks feeling “brain-fogged.” People who struggle
through the stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s (AD) face
this reality daily.
This issue we will explore multiple contributing factors to
dementia and all of the available tools (essential oils,
superfoods and other natural compounds) and how each
tool works to support brain health. I hope this information
will be useful for all of us!
Contributing Factors of
Dementia &AD:
✦ ABP (amyloid-beta peptide) is a nasty toxic molecule
that not only directly kills nerve cells but also produces
excessive amounts of free radicals. https://drnibber.com/nitric-oxide-
alzheimers-disease/

Memory Support
Protocol 1
Apply 1-2 drops each of:
Frankincense, Vetiver &
Rosemary
To the base of the skull, crown
of head and behind the ears
2-4 times daily.
Apply Wild Orange &
Peppermint to the bottoms of
feet 1-2 times daily.
Protocol 2
Rotate with:
Immortelle (Anti-Aging blend)

crown of head and behind ears
2-4 times daily.

✦ Neurofibrillary tangles -
are insoluble twisted fibers
found inside the brain's cells.
These tangles consist primarily
of a protein called tau. This
forms part of a structure called
a microtubule which helps
transport nutrients and other
important substances from
one part of the nerve cell to
another. In Alzheimer's
disease, however, the tau
protein is abnormal and the
microtubule structures
collapse. http://www.brightfocus.org/

and-neurofibrillary-tangles
✦ Homocysteine - is an amino acid that is generally present in our blood in tightly controlled
concentrations. However, when excess amounts are produced, the amino acid is prone to
oxidation… https://drnibber.com/alzheimers-disease-b-vitamins-fight-back-against-the-curse-of-homocysteine/
✦ Oxidative Stress - Growing evidence has demonstrated that oxidative stress is an important
factor contributing to the initiation and progression of AD. http://www.hindawi.com/journals/omcl/
2013/316523/
✦ Inflammation - Alzheimer patients have
increased inflammation markers. It was
thought at first that when tissue is destroyed
in the brain, it causes inflammation. But, now
there is reason to think that inflammation is
part of the reason for the early destruction.

✦ White Matter Lesions - found in stroke,
Alzheimer’s and other dementia patients.
This scar tissue is what blocks brain-signal
traffic.
Information provided is for educational purposes only and not intended to diagnose, prescribe or treat any health concerns.
Oxidized homocysteine is highly toxic to many cells including blood vessels; it may
cause atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries, or in the case of the brain,
death of neurones.

Natural Tools:
✦ Nitric Oxide (NO) - Noni Extract triggers the
production of NO in the body. The Mayo Clinic
looked into the link between NO and AD through
a number of elegant experiments and came to the
following conclusions:
NO seems to affect the production of ABP but
does not affect its clearance suggesting that NO
donors may work as preventative of AD rather
than reversing AD. https://drnibber.com/nitric-oxide-
alzheimers-disease/
✦ Ashwagandha - In effect, ashwaganda aids the
clearance of the amyloid peptide from the brain.
Compared to control (untreated) mice, the
ashwaganda treated mice had… lower levels (of
amyloid peptide) in the brain area particularly in the
key areas like the cortex and the hippocampus
which is the center of the brain for memory and
learning.
The results of the ashwaganda study were so
stunning that an independent laboratory in Canada
was asked to validate them. https://drnibber.com/new-mice-
study-reveals-ashwaganda-reverses-symptoms-of-alzheimers/
✦ B Vitamins - Recently a study in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences discussed how B vitamins (specifically folic acid, B6 and B12) may be able to slow
the development of Alzheimer’s disease, slowing the shrinkage of brain volume (Douaud et al.
2013).
One of the biggest causative factors of Alzheimer’s is elevated homocysteine levels. According
to research, homocysteine is involved in some of the biggest health dangers of our time,
Alzheimer’s, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and even osteoporosis. https://drnibber.com/b-
vitamins-for-alzheimers-homocysteine-strikes-again/
Information provided is for educational purposes only and not intended to diagnose, prescribe or treat any health concerns.
The McGill researchers confirmed the same dramatic reduction
of the peptide and compared the effects of ashwaganda to
“Like vacuum cleaning the brain to get rid of unwanted amyloid plaque.”
The Mayo Clinic also concluded, “When NO production was increased… the levels of
ABP decreased and there was a significant improvement in memory of animals.”
Supplements containing 5-MeTHF, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 are clinically proven
to reduce elevated homocysteine, and… can slow the development of disease.

✦ Tocotrienols - Are the most potent form of Vitamin E. Scientists at Universiti Teknologi
Mara, in Malaysia, conducted a two-year investigation on 121 volunteers with white matter
lesions. At the end of the two-year study, the placebo group showed an increase in white
matter lesions — but in the group that took the tocotrienols, no new white matter lesions had
formed. http://www.alsearsmd.com/2015/12/vitamin-e-tocotrienols-can-save-your-brain/
Tocotrienols speed healing of WMLs,
help prevent dementia. Even in
comas, the brains of patients can be
rebuilding "white matter" and
creating new pathways, so that
damaged areas, like speech and motor
control, can eventually reconnect.
Tocotrienols not only speed up the
healing process, they also shield brain
cells from dementia in the future.

✦ Essential Oils - In a study from Japan’s Tottori University medical school, researchers tested
28 elderly people including 17 Alzheimer’s disease patients using aromatherapy.
During a 28 day period preceded and followed by two wash-out period of 28 days, the researchers
gave the subjects aromatherapy using Rosemary and Lemon essential oils in the morning
and Lavender and Orange essential oils in the evening.
The study found a significant increase in cognition scores in the Touch Panel-type Dementia
Assessment Scale (TDAS) test.
Information provided is for educational purposes only and not intended to diagnose, prescribe or treat any health concerns.
Tocotrienols are powerful antioxidants - they also mop up free radicals,
biochemical molecules which are linked to cancer and aging.
They can even cross the protective blood-brain barrier to do their jobs.
The most potent form of Tocotrienols is Annato Oil.
Noni Extract (Nitric Oxide), Tocotrienols, B Vitamins and Ashwaganda are all found in a new
superfood based supplement I have been investigating.

“In conclusion, we found aromatherapy an efficacious non-pharmacological therapy
for dementia. Aromatherapy may have some potential for improving cognitive
function, especially in AD patients.
