fully 25 percent of the body's total oxygen consumption.**

How do we protect our most valued asset? First, let's gather important neurological information from a reliable source: MIT This video begins by shining a light on our greatest neurological risk.
Your Brain vs. Alzheimer's: "Knowledge is Power." Click here for the video. "33% of US adults will die of Alzheimer's or age related dementia." Not the news we want to hear but there is good news too!
From this first resource we learn that there is a noninvasive technique to reduce beta amyloid plaques in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease. Before we get carried away it is important to know that not all successes move from mice to humans. That said, we now have a compass pointing in a very compelling direction. It's hard to imagine a more non invasive experiment. Exposure to 15 minutes of flickering Christmas lights a day. More details to follow.
