HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR HEALTHCARE: An Integrative Medicine ApproachLouis Cady, MD
In this webinar, the fourth in a series of five from Dr. Louis Cady and the Cady Wellness Institute, we focus on the actual dollars and cents of health care expenditures, and the societal and PERSONAL costs of poor health maintenance behavior. We examine the essentially passive US medical system, that would rather drug a symptom than fix the underlying problem.
Great attention is paid on not shaming the patient or the doctors as they exist in the current system. Both groups "do not know what they do not know." Confirmation bias is rampant.
This webinar points the way to living a more vital, energetic life, with a minimum of cost, grief, and misery.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Upper neck injuries usually occur as the result of accidents in
which the individual sustains a sudden hit to the head.
Symptoms of MS and PD could surface in months, years or even
decades following the accident.
Often, the individual doesn't even realize the extent of the injury
they sustained.

15. Toxic reactions to drugs
Medications can cause mental decline
With aging, the liver becomes less efficient at metabolizing drugs, and the
kidneys eliminate them from the body more slowly. As a result, drugs tend to
accumulate in the body. Elderly people in poor health and those taking several
different medications are especially vulnerable.
The list of drugs that can cause dementia-like symptoms is long:
•antidepressants
•antihistamines
•anti-Parkinson drugs
•anti-anxiety medications
•cardiovascular drugs
•anticonvulsants
•corticosteroids
•narcotics
•sedatives

17. Thyroid disease
An overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism) is commonly
caused by Graves’ disease, while an underproduction (hypothyroidism)
usually results from Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Both disorders can cause
dementia-like symptoms.
Hyperthyroidism. To diagnose hyperthyroidism, physicians use a simple
blood test that measures levels of thyroid hormones. Surgically removing
the thyroid or destroying it with radioactive iodine usually corrects
the cognitive problems.
Hypothyroidism. This is diagnosed by measuring the level of thyroid-
stimulating hormone circulating in the blood. Physicians usually
recommend thyroid hormone replacement, but this treatment doesn’t
always reverse the dementia.

Where is the “WHY”
18. Vascular dementia
Where is the “WHY”
Some cognitive problems stem from insufficient blood flow to
portions of the brain. The decrease in blood flow is often the result
of atherosclerosis in the blood vessels that feed the brain
risk factors:
•hypertension (high blood pressure)
•cardiovascular disease
•diabetes
•a history of stroke
The mental deterioration proceeds in a “stairstep” pattern—a
person suffers a sudden cognitive decline, the decline levels off,
and then new strokes cause another sudden decline

The study doesn't disprove the
theory that inflammation is a
factor in Alzheimer's, though,
says Jason Karlawish,
"Negative studies like this that
fail to prove the hypothesis
leave thousands of questions
to be answered," Karlawish
During the study, 476 people
developed dementia, and
heavy NSAID users had a 66%
higher risk of developing the
condition than those with low or
no use
21. In a study published in the British Medical Journal, researchers looked
at 24 studies carried out between 1966 and 2003 and found that the
adverse effects of sedatives prescribed for sleep outweighed the
positive effects they provided.
Anticholinergic means blocking the effects of the neurotransmitter
acetylcholine.
Drugs that have anticholinergic effects include but are not limited to:
• Tricyclic antidepressants
•Antipsychotics
•SSRI antidepressants Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil
•Diphenhydramine (Benadryl, other antihistamines)
•Some Sleep Meds

25. In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), an association with cholesterol is recognized,
although poorly understood and often overlooked.
A study on membranes prepared from cortical grey matter of AD patients
showed that the cholesterol… was reduced by 30%
This aberrant pattern could be restored to that found in the membranes from
non-AD controls by cholesterol enrichment of the AD membranes.
It is of interest, therefore, that mice[cholesterol deficient] show many of the
neurotransmitter deficits and loss of memory that are characteristic of AD
Correspondingly, there is evidence that induced depletions of neuronal
cholesterol can affect synaptic plasticity and neurodegeneration

responsive tissues in other parts of the body, as well.
Abnormal function of glutamate receptors has been linked with certain
neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Huntington's
chorea. Injections of glutamate in laboratory animals have resulted in
damage to nerve cells in the brain.”

The neglect of B12 deficiency is the most criminal,
due to the ridiculously-low "normal range"
US this range is usually about 200-900
Japan it is 500-1300 pg/ml
Normal range should be 600-2,000
Depression and bipolar disorders, 'unexplained' fatigue, and even
violent behaviors, are additional sequelae of B12 deficiency

towards an endogenous pharmacotherapy.
Physiol Rev. 2014 Jan
Brain plasticity refers to the remarkable property of cerebral neurons to change
their structure and function in response to experience, a fundamental
theoretical theme in the field of basic research and a major focus for neural
rehabilitation following brain disease.
…the influence exerted by the environment on brain plasticity processes, with
special emphasis on the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms …
highly relevant work performed in humans.
…how changes at the level of neuronal properties can ultimately affect and
direct key perceptual and behavioral outputs.
…striking ability of environmental enrichment and physical exercise to
empower adult brain plasticity.

47. MSG and Depression
Researchers have also discovered that most people with
major depressive disease (MDD) have higher levels of the
neurotransmitter glutamate in their spinal fluid (CSF) and
blood plasma.
This is the same glutamate found as a food additive-for
example, MSG (monosodium glutamate), hydrolyzed
proteins, calcium or sodium casienate, soy protein
isolate, vegetable protein concentrate or isolate, etc.
Free glutamate, that is, existing outside the neurons, is very
toxic to brain connections and brain cells themselves --
mainly by a process called excitotoxicity.
48. Vaccine-related brain injury
Vaccines are made of two components -- the agent you
wish to vaccinate against and an immune adjuvant.
These adjuvants are composed of such things as
aluminum compounds, MSG, lipid compounds and
even mercury.
Studies have shown that these adjuvants, from a single
vaccine, can cause immune overactivation
**No studies show the effects of the hyper-
sensatization of the immune system to yearly flu
shots from 6 months for life

first evidence that meditation can alter the physical
structure of our brains
“Our data suggest that meditation practice can promote cortical plasticity in
adults in areas important for cognitive and emotional processing and well-
being,”
“These findings are consistent with other studies that demonstrated increased
thickness of:
• music areas in the brains of musicians
•visual and motor areas in the brains of jugglers
In other words, the structure of an adult brain can change in response to
repeated practice.”

•moderate exercise can reverse normal brain shrinkage by two percent,
effectively reversing age-related hippocampus degeneration by one to two
years
•the people in the control group who didn't exercise saw an average of 1.4
percent decrease in hippocampus size
According to the research team:
"We demonstrate that loss of hippocampal volume in late adulthood is not
inevitable and can be reversed with moderate-intensity exercise."

54. MERCURY LINKED TO ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE!
Scientists have shown that trace amounts of mercury can cause the type of
damage to nerves that is characteristic of the damage found in Alzheimer’s
disease
Humans with mercury/silver amalgam dental fillings. found that exposure to
mercury caused the formation of “neurofibrillar tangles,” which are one of the
two diagnostic markers for Alzheimer’s disease.
Previous research has shown that mercury can cause the formation of the other
Alzheimer’s disease marker, “amyloid plaques.” The scientists also exposed the
test nerves to other elements, including aluminum, but found that only mercury
caused the damage consistent with Alzheimer’s disease.

of dementia, research suggests.
And it appears hairdressers face a higher than normal risk of suffering early- onset
dementia, Alzheimer's disease and motor neurone disease.
Other studies have suggested they might be linked to cancer with rates of bladder tumours
in women who dye their hair twice that of those who keep their natural colour. It is thought
chemicals may build up in the bladder and so damage cells.
One Swedish study found that women who use hair dye for 20 years could be doubling
their risk of developing arthritis.
Another report suggested the dye could cause birth defects in unborn children when
absorbed through a pregnant mother's scalp and into her bloodstream.

65. Bt trait indeed led to a reduction in insecticide use of 123 million pounds between
1996 and 2011. But that figure is dwarfed by the 527 million pound, GMO-driven
increase in herbicide use over the same period. In other words, GMOs have added
more than four pounds of herbicides to US farm fields for every pound of insecticide
they've taken away. Overall, Benbrook found, GMOs have lead to a net increase in
pesticide use (meaning herbicides plus insecticides) of 404 million pounds, a 7
percent gain.
And just as weeds developed resistance to year-after-year applications of Roundup,
corn's number-one insect pest, the rootworm, is quickly evolving to be able to
withstand Bt-engineered corn, as I've reported before. Benbrook told me that in
areas of the Midwest where farmers have been planting Bt corn year after year—an
increasingly popular practice, since the explosion in ethanol production that started
in 2006—ag university extension experts are suggesting that farmers spray other
insecticides to supplement the failing Bt trait in their corn. "The goal of this
technology was to make it possible not have to spray these corn insecticides, and
now we have to spray them again to bail out this technology," Benbrook told me.

67. Two small trials published in 2000 and 2004 by Matthew Muldoon, a clinical pharmacologis
at the University of Pittsburgh, seem to suggest a link between statins and cognitive
problems. The first, which enrolled 209 high-cholesterol subjects, reported that participants
taking placebo pills improved more on repeated tests of attention and reaction time taken
over the course of six months—presumably getting better because of practice, as people
typically do. Subjects who were on statins, however, did not show the normal improvement
suggesting their learning was impaired. The second trial reported similar findings. And a
study published in 2003 in Reviews of Therapeutics noted that among 60 statin users who
had reported memory problems to MedWatch, more than half said their symptoms improve
