Understanding Alzheimer's Disease and Myelin

How many of you heard of Alzheimer's disease?

It's a physician-caused disease. Mark my words. Mark my words.

In the next two years, maybe even next week,

it'll pop up in the newspaper.

There's more than enough information to prove that it's a physician-caused

Um, Alzheimer disease is a disease that did not occur,

even by another name forty

years ago. It only became recognized as a disease in

nineteen seventy-nine,

twenty-five years ago. Today, it's the number four killer of adults over

the age of

sixty-five behind... Well, I have to throw in doctors now.

Doctors, um, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer's

disease.

Now, our brains are made up of seventy-five

percent a fatty insulation material called myelin. How many of you heard of myelin?

Good. Well, myelin is this fatty insulation material in the

brain.

How many of you have eaten a brain sandwich, brain and egg sandwich?

Oh, you haven't lived until you eat a brain

sandwich. It is good.

Little bit of onion and mustard. I mean, there's nothing better than a brain

sandwich. It's real cheap now because everybody's

afraid of, you know, mad cow

disease, so I can buy more brains and I eat it.

But at any rate, this myelin makes up seventy-five

percent of our brain weight. It's so important to the animal

and human brain.

Myelin is seventy-five percent of our brain weight, and myelin

is a hundred percent
