Default [Dixonary] OT: People's Pharmacy

The People's Pharmacy recently had a radio show on the brain. I did not
make a note of the name of the guest. I believe that he wrote a book
called Gauge Your Brain. I would like to read it, but I cannot find the
name of the author and I am not 100% sure that I am correctly
remembering the title of the book. This may mean that I can instantly
determine that my own brain is in trouble.

I am hoping that one of you will have heard the show and/or will know
the name of the book's author and/or will know the name of the book. I
have looked in Amazon with no luck.

Guerri, does this synopsis seem familiar?

AUGUST 9, 2018Show 1132: Are Infections to Blame for Alzheimer Disease?

With nearly six million Americans living with Alzheimer disease, this
condition is a serious public health problem. It robs people of their
memories, their ability to function independently and even their very
identities. When Alois Alzheimer published the first report on the brain
disease that was later named for him, he described distinctive plaques and
neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. That was in 1906. Ever since then,
scientists have been trying to figure out what causes those plaques and
tangles and how we can prevent them. Researchers have known for decades
that the plaques that characterize Alzheimer disease contain a lot of
beta-amyloid peptide. They call it A-beta. Drug companies have been
struggling to find pharmaceuticals that can clear this bad actor out of the
brain. Unfortunately, the agents they have tested so far have been
disappointing at best. What Is A-Beta Doing in the Brain? Neuroscientists
have assumed that A-beta is toxic to neurons, and that it has no legitimate
business in the brain. But that assumption may be mistaken. New research
demonstrates that A-beta is part of the brain's immune defenses. It seems
that it has played an important role in protecting the brain from infection
throughout human evolution. The Microbiome of the Brain: Our guest, Robert
Moir, and his colleagues have found that the brain has a complex,
previously unsuspected, microbiome. The A-beta compound that makes up
amyloid plaques is a powerful antibiotic–100 times more potent than
penicillin. He is now studying ways to find anti-inflammatory compounds
that target innate immunity of the sort found in the brain. He suggests
that all of us can help our brains by eating a heart-healthy diet (it's
good for the brain, too), staying fit with regular exercise and drinking
alcohol in moderation if at all. If A-beta is actually acting to protect
the brain, it could be a mistake to try to get rid of it. Instead, perhaps
we should figure out how to help it. Our second guest, Dr. Dale Bredesen,
also has a number of suggestions on how we can do that and reduce our risk
of Alzheimer disease. He suggests measuring ketones and aiming for a sweet
spot between 1.5 and 4 millimoles of beta-hydroxy-butyrate. This Week's
Guests: Robert D. Moir, PhD, is Assistant Professor in Neurology at Harvard
Medical School. He is also Assistant Professor in Neurology at MGH
Neurology Research. His research focuses on the biochemical and cellular
mechanisms involved in neurodegeneration in Alzheimer disease and aging.
His most recent publication is on herpes virus and beta-amyloid in Neuron,
July 11, 2018. The photo is of Dr. Moir. Dale Bredesen, MD, is an expert in
the mechanisms of neurodegeneration and has served on the faculty at the
University of California, San Francisco, and UCLA. He directed the program
on Aging at the Burnham Institute prior to joining the Buck Institute for
Research on Aging as its founding president and CEO. We spoke with him via
Skype. His book is The End of Alzheimer's: The First Program to Prevent and
Reverse Cognitive Decline. If you want to read some of Dr. Bredesen's
scientific publications, we suggest "Ayurvedic Profiling of Alzheimer's
Disease," with DV Rao (Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine, May
2017) or "Reversal of Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease," with
numerous colleagues (Aging, June 2016). Listen to the Podcast: The podcast
of this program will be available the Monday after the broadcast date. The
show can be streamed online from this site and podcasts can be downloaded
for free.

NO. I think the show was something like "gauge your brain" or maybe that
was the title of the book that the guest had written. I think the show
was more recent than August, but maybe not. Now I am into the font
issues again. The preceding lines are OK, but the quote from your
message is beyond tiny.

As for the "gauge" apparently my brain refuses to learn how to spell
"gauge" or perhaps it is more a matter of knowing the spelling but
somehow not quite believing it.

As for the timing of the show, I have no idea how they are aired. It
could be that the show was aired in some places in August, but aired
here in October.

Ryan may have beaten me to it, but I offer this alternative:

I don't know the People's Pharmacy, but Google told me that a recent guest
(on Podcast 1040) talking about the brain was a Dr Wendy Suzuki. She has
written a book called 'Healthy Brain, Happy Life', available at Amazon.com
at https://tinyurl.com/yafruouj. However, I also found on Amazon.co.uk
that she seems to have written another book called 'Bouge Ton Cerveau'
('Move Your Brain') which sounds a bit more like what you're looking for -
except that it's in French! From more Googling it appears that that is a
translation of the 'Healthy Brain, Happy Life' book (see
https://www.wendysuzuki.com/the-book/), so I guess that's the one you're
looking for.

Did yoiu guess that my hobby is internet research?
