There are more studies showing the importance of Vitamin D for your health. Without question this vitamin is most important for your health. Build your health around Vitamin D and the Omega 3 oils. There are numerous studies showing that dementia is basically diet caused. If you limit sugar intake and have a good Omega 3 diet, your brain is protected from dementia and other diseases. The modern diet is deadly. Please don’t get caught up in this modern diet lifestyle but make an effort and protect yourself and your family. Just limit the sugar and make sure you get plenty of the Omega 3 oils and your mind and heart will be protected as study after study is showing this. God bless you.

“Vitamin D deficiency—which is traditionally associated with bone and muscle weakness—may also increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). A growing body of evidence links low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels to common CVD risk factors such as hypertension, obesity and diabetes, as well as major cardiovascular events including stroke and congestive heart failure.”

***Cleveland Clinic Discloses Doctors’ Industry Ties*** Finally, there is some accountability with doctors and the drug companies. This is the first major hospital to do this! This is so needed and I’ve preached for years how corrupt the medical profession has become because of the money from the drug companies. Lets hope this spread throughout the entire medical profession and maybe they can start healing people instead of being agents for the drug companies! This article made my week! Maybe we are on the road to get truthful studies about natural Vitamin E!
“In American medicine, doctors’ links to industry are often hidden from public view. And critics argue that such relationships can taint the integrity of medical research and patient care. In one of the most recent controversies, a highly regarded and influential psychiatrist at Emory University, Dr. Charles B. Nemeroff, drew criticism in October for failing to disclose at least $1 million in consulting fees from drug makers.”
“Fish oil, exercise, and sugar-free soda may be the ticket to making it into old age with your memory and cognition intact. University of California at Los Angeles researchers demonstrated that fish oil supplementation increased production of the protein LR11 in cultured human and rat neural cells and in live rats. LR11 activity is associated with decreased levels of beta-amyloid plaques, the histological hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease, and is found at lower levels in Alzheimer’s patients.”
Philippians 4:6 Be careful (Anxious) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.Phil 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
