#WorldAlzheimersDay share:

My research leads me to understand electric light use + low levels of magnesium are the primary causes of Alzheimers.

Melatonin is the primary remover of aluminium yet cortisol is too high to make enough & we do not have enough darkness at night.
To improve your dementia use my Stark Dark Protocol

Address Environment:
1) Make bedroom totally dark. No standby lights. Use blackout blinds etc.
2) Switch off WiFi. Leave phone outside of room. Sleep away from electric sources.
3) Alter bed to use inclined bed therapy if poss.
S1. Heal damage:

4) Drink warm milk with colostrum before bed to heal gut permeability. Human best, then goat, then bovine. For 2-4 weeks. I use baby bottle to mimic suckling per nature's design.
5) Take magnesium glycinate supplement 1hr before bed in dark. Stay in darkness.
