How does brain power and the computer even connect?

You hear a great deal these days about information processing - usually with "new age technology" tacked onto the end of it, most often referring to the revolution that has occurred using computers to communicate. Communication is a very important part of life, whether it be a husband to wife or parent to child, company to employees, clients to customers, family member to family member or friend to friend it still remains the most important necessity of life and happiness!!!

One of the most important kinds of communication should be in relation to your health, but is it? Nourishing the brain and body requires certain components known as nutrients aka nutrition!

Today's Miriam Webster dictionary definition of nutrition; the act or process of nourishing or being nourished; specifically: the sum of the processes by which an animal or plant takes in and utilizes food substances.  Prior to that definition according to the 1913 Webster's dictionary: That which nourishes; nutriment.

As in most things yesterday's (early 1900's) explanations were simple and straightforward. Today, (2011) not so clear sometimes, long drawn out definitions that still mean the same things with many more words and huge numbers are unable to understand the meaning, simply put; "What we put into or on our bodies nourish us!"

When I was growing up there were no computers, calculators, TV, cell phone, internet, etc.. We communicated by talking to each other, playing games visiting others, really communicating and socializing. It was a simplistic life filled with more love and happiness than available today because the brains were much stronger then... Even though today so many compare our brain to our computers there is a vast difference in what we actually process in our brain versus our computer and yet not so very different at all. 

The saying goes for computers, "garbage in, garbage out." Our brain is exactly the same, "garbage in, garbage out." What are you feeding your brain? 

Lets compare the two; computer brain - if you don't have an electrical outlet to plug your computer into or a battery pack to provide the electrical current there will be no information data input or output from the computer. By the same token, our brain needs electrical power not from an electrical plug-in but from balanced mineral nutrients put into the body!

Your brain uses 50% of your energy and only occupies a small portion of your total body volume, yet is the most important organ in your body. If you are frequently tired, it could very well be that you are not feeding your brain properly. Not feeding it slows down the electrical impulses from the brain to the rest of the body's organs creating lethargy, brain fog, failure to memorize, etc.

Are you forgetting things that shouldn't be forgotten? Could be malnourishment to the brain. Your brain and body requires a minimum of 76 minerals but a balance is 84 minerals and trace minerals allows the body to function on all cylinders (organs). Are you putting that balance into your brain? Or are you only putting in all chemicals and hormones, fed the animals to fatten them and make them worth more $$$? Or the pesticides, herbicides, prescriptions in our water that feeds the animals? Or conventional fruits and veggies and/or genetically altered fruits and vegetables? Or Prepackaged, color laden chemical filled processed fast foods? 

It now takes more than our foodstuff to give our brain the nourishment required to function properly. Read what had to be said about our foodstuff, brain and obesity back in 1936 issued by the United States Congress.  

Your brain uses almost 20% of all the oxygen you take into your lungs. Your blood carries the oxygen to your brain. This is why clogged arteries cause memory loss and organizational skills impairment. Today's society is a fast food, prepackaged, chemical processed society and all of those foods are basically void of nutrients and full of artery inflammation causing, brain killing, clogging fats and sugars. 

After winning World War II man decided he was smarter than God and the farmers were told by those men that the new fertilizers would produce better and more crops than the natural (manure) fertilizers and crop rotations they had used prior to that time. The downfall of our human and animal health was begun!

Gradually the natural mineral containing foods went by the way side taking with them other nutrients. Sadly, to those who believed that farming myth illness and diseases run rampant - fertilizer is missing 81 of the necessary minerals therefore further degrading our farm grown foods and the bodies that consume them.  

Chemical manmade fertilizers have all of three nutrients, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus missing those others that give balance and health! What happened to the other 81, which our bodies need?

Buying into and believing the new farm technique farmers no longer felt the need to rotate crops or let land rest to rebuild its nutrients, setting up a reaction that we are now suffering from. This also set up a chain reaction with our food animals as well.

In the late 1950's large numbers of animals - cattle, hogs, sheep, chickens and turkeys - began getting diseases never before seen in animals, such as heart disease, cancer, arthritis, etc. In a few years Veterinary scientist traced the cause to specific nutritional deficiencies lacking in their foods. They soon also discovered that the cattle were dying from malnourishment and started giving the animals nutrient supplements to replace what was no longer in their feed.

That wasn't enough, a couple of decades later another lethal man made discovery helping them make money faster - add chemicals and hormones to fatten the animals faster - make more money doing it but set the world up for more illness and disease. 

I took the following directly from their Website.

"We blend for dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep, goats (Boer, Milk, and angora) and swine. Our custom minerals for domestic consumers carry a consumption guarantee. We have FDA clearances for many medications including Bovatec®, Rumensin®, Rumatel®, Mecadox®, Banmith®, Deccox®, and several antibiotics."

Tests with animals have shown that by withholding certain nutrients from their diets they soon forget tricks what they had learned and usually could perform with no problem, yet could no longer perform. We are having vitamins and minerals withheld from our diets without our knowledge and an epidemic of Alzheimer's and Dementia! I say that because our foodstuffs do not have the proper nutrients to keep us healthy and in turn both animals and humans aging is compounding the problem of memory loss and retention but it doesn't have to be so - later on I will show you why.

The statement - in the1936 congressional report - "we are going to be a society of big stomachs" came to pass! Obesity is rampant (2010 latest findings 72% are more than 25 pounds overweight in our society.) and you thought it was all your fault. So even if you eat the very best food available there still is a chance you would not be nourishing your brain and body like you should and will become or have become overweight to obese! 

I am not telling you this to depress you but to inform you - I also hope to make you act - so that you may make some right decisions for your brain's necessary nutrients. I have been taking a balanced minerals supplement and vitamin D3 along with Nattokinase Max daily - since I found about them in 1995 - to prevent that from happening to my 73 years old my brain and it seems to be functioning very well. The older you get the more malnourished you will be more liable to mental deterioration… Attested to by all the huge numbers of Alzheimer's and senile dementia these days.

Solution to the problem - one of the very first things on the list to do for yourself and your brain is make sure you are getting a good quality liquid balanced minerals complex and digestible meganutrient vitamins… You must be sure they are quality not cheaper OTC vitamins that may have been on the shelf for months or years. Supplements bought at the store or pharmacy may have lost most of their potency simply because they have set on the shelf for months to years! 

LITTLE KNOWN SECRET; The 1999 Physician's Desk Reference (page 1542) showed that vitamins and minerals in a PILL form are only 10% to 20% absorbed by the body. The reason is due to the high metallic content of these pills both supplements and drugs. Metallic minerals like oyster shells, carbonates, oxides and dolomites have the consistency of crushed up rocks, which our bodies were not designed to digest. So even if you are taking vitamins and minerals how sure are you that you are absorbing sufficient amounts? The only way to know that for sure is make sure they are capsules, liquid or powder and gotten from a reputable source.

Dateline 10/21/99: for almost one hundred years, it has been a mantra of biology - brain cells do not regenerate. In a startling discovery that could have profound implications for treating brain disorders and injuries, researchers at Princeton University have discovered that new neurons are continually being added to the brains of adult monkeys. The neurons are added to the cerebral cortex of the brain. 

The cerebral cortex is the most complex part of the brain and scientists were startled to find neuron formation in this "high" brain area. The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher level decision making and learning. 
The researchers found the formation of new nerve cells; a process called neurogenesis, in three areas of the cerebral cortex: 
· Prefrontal region which controls decision-making. 
· Inferior temporal region which plays a role in visual recognition. 
· Posterior parietal region which plays a role in 3D representation. 

The researchers believe that these results call for a fundamental reassessment of the development of the primate brain. For almost a century, scientists have believed that primate brains do not regenerate or add new neurons after maturity. It was a fundamental tenet of neuroscience that the brain could not repair itself or grow new cells. In recent years, scientists have begun to chip away at the dogma as previous research has shown that other areas of the brain such as the hippocampus add new neurons. 

Many researchers believed that these previous results were anomalies or were confined to "lower" parts of the brain. These results are even more startling since they occur in the most advanced part of the brain. 

Researchers are optimistic that with further study scientists might one day unlock the key to this process of brain cell growth and use the knowledge to treat a variety of brain disorders and diseases. On the near future ability at this time!

Since 1999 this has been documented by numerous brain surgeries that should have left a patient lost in a world of confusion when in fact the brain has regenerated to the delight of Neurosurgeons world wide! That was not expected!

It is now known that similar processes occur in humans since monkeys and humans have very similar brain structures. 

Sadly today we are a nation and world of health issues such as; migraines, thyroid's not functioning, autoimmune diseases - diabetes, fibromyalgia, MS, ALS, etc. - liver and kidneys toxic to the point of death, cancers of all types running rampant. So 1936 was on the money with our health and for a short time was taught in our medical schools until the pharmaceutical and health insurance industry took over our medical schools in the late to early 1960's and no more natural health is being taught so our doctor's and health care professionals only know what those industries want them to know and the nutritional and minerals fact is no longer taught!
