#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.

6) Use biotin liquid/spray supplement & eat peas/beans daily for their glutamine to heal gut joints.
7) Drink bone broth with vitamin C, trace minerals (+ aloe vera to max this if you can cope with the taste) to heal your collagen. If vegan then nuts & milled seeds instead.

After 4 weeks (minimum) of healing your gut walls & protecting your sleep space (with only that 1 hour of extra darkness a day) you can move on to stage two you beautiful person doing such great work so far!

QUEEN healer Melatonin needed enough magnesium to restart her reign!

S2. Enhance nutrition:

8) Drink a small amount of berry juice every day. Rotate these across the month eg pomegranate, raspberry, grape, cranberry etc to diversify microbiome. Apple cider vinegar may be useful (check with any medications).
9) Eat more diverse vegetables too.

10) Eat foods with tryptophan in for breakfast & eat ASAP after waking up to stop muscle wasting.
11) Increase magnesium supplementation. You could take magnesium citrate in day plus continue magnesium glycinate at night. 10 + 11 will give you mental energy as Mg makes serotonin.

12) Eat foods with plenty of thiamine (Vit B1) & niacin (Vit B3) in them daily. But not nutritional yeast.
13) Stop supplements or foods/drinks fortified with vitamin B6 or iron. B6 is neurotoxic. You get plenty of dietary iron. Iron overload is common & linked to gut dysbiosis.

After another 2-4 weeks minimum of this stage you have increased your gut immunity & are able to make more melatonin by having tryptophan foods & nutrients daily. You are doing amazingly. Look how far you have come!

Now we gotta ramp things up in stage 3 to detox aluminium!

S3. Safe & sound
14) Protect your sleep and feelings of safety. Use ear plugs, blindfold, white noise, gentle music etc to block out unsettling noises or thoughts.
15) Ensure your bedroom is safe & you could feel good about spending more time in there in complete darkness.

16) Learn to breathe through your nose especially at night. Mouth taping training may help you.
17) Look into structured breathing techniques to feel more connected to your body. Touch, massage & embodied movement will also support you to trust your body even more. You rock!

18) Eat your meals outside (or facing the sky with a window open) to better sync with nature.
19) Touch a part of your body on the earth for 20 minutes+ a day in early morning or late afternoon sunshine with no glasses or contacts lenses in. Walking or sitting barefoot is great.

20) Increasing embodiment & feelings around safety is the start of trauma processing. Allow all emotions to surface & love and accept all of them. They are all you and all worthy. Crying can be very therapeutic. We can release shame, guilt, blame and pain. We can forgive & love.

It is essential for emotional & energetic blocks to be addressed so energy can flow.

Other tools to address these include: acupuncture, accupressure, tong ren, Eden energy, scalar, bio-resonance, kinesiology, body talk, reflexology, EFT, tai chi, chi gong, block therapy + more.

Please investigate some of these and choose a system that feels right for you. Culturally we are not good at processing grief & dealing with trauma so please be gentle with yourself. There are videos on youtube etc for many of these methods.

Once things start flowing we can prepare for aluminium detox.
21) Consider liver, gall bladder and kidney health. Do they need support? Look into herbal supplements that would be safe for your body/medication situation.
22) Increase daytime hydration. I use an hourly alert.

S4. Embrace the dark
So to make more melatonin we needed to feel safer to reduce cortisol, have the nutrients available & now we will increase the darkness to make more melatonin. Please note your dreams may get more vivid & you may get more more intuitive/spiritually connected.

Slowly increase your darkness by reducing down your light use especially post sundown.
A) Switch video media for audio media
B) Use blue blocking apps & glasses
C) Wear UV sun protection long sleeved clothes inside your home
D) Protect your neck from sun & electric light sources

E) Stop using electric lights for night-time bathroom runs
F) Swap overhead lights for dim lamps or candles
G) Have intimate & warm evening phone conversations in darkness to connect to others
H) Limit screen time or TV time to daylight hours only

Embrace the dark more each day.

Over time you will hopefully come to find darkness as a mother-like goddess of peace & gentleness. The increased melatonin will help you remove aluminium and continue to heal.

You may consider taking melatonin supplements but I strongly recommend you still follow this too.

I hope this has been useful to understand how light is the primary cause of AD/dementia & how my Stark Dark Protocol can improve your outcomes and wellbeing.

You are perfect. Your body is striving for healing every second. Let's support it with what it has been craving.

Blessings to you my friend. I will help you in any way I can. If there is interest I could record my protocol on audio or video for you.

Please let me know how you get on. Much love,
