Breaking News from Newsmax.com Ginseng Fights Parkinson's Disease Dr. Russell Blaylock, M.D., writes: Studies have shown that various forms of ginseng have special properties that protect against Parkinson's disease. For example, in an animal model of human Parkinson's disease, Panax ginseng — which contains high levels of a compound called Rg1 — significantly reduced the death of neurons in the part of the brain most damaged in Parkinson's disease, called the substantia nigra. This occurred possibly by increasing the levels of critical antioxidant molecules in these brain cells — glutathione and superoxide dismutase. Special: Brain Doctor: Simple Way to Stay Mentally Sharp Ginseng was also shown to protect these same neurons in other models of Parkinson's disease in which a metabolic product of dopamine (6-hydroxydopamine) was used, as well as in a rotenone model. Rotenone is a commonly used pesticide that is a major environmental cause of Parkinson's disease. In one study, it was found that taking ginseng orally could completely protect the substantia nigra neurons from a very powerful brain toxin called MPTP, which is used to create animal models of human Parkinson's, and can produce Parkinson's in humans as well. Importantly, ginseng protection worked even if it was taken two days after exposure to the toxin. Panax ginseng was found to increase the amount of dopamine in the brain area affected in Parkinson's, the striatum, and also reduced the iron level in this critical brain area. Accumulation of excess iron is known to be one of the earliest damaging events in Parkinson's. Components of American ginseng also provided considerable protection of these important neurons. American ginseng protects against Parkinson's-related brain damage by inhibiting nitric oxide accumulation in the brain and by reducing inflammatory brain mechanisms. Combining a healthy diet, exercise, and the use of other protective supplemental compounds will greatly increase success in combating this terrible disorder.

See Here 'My 4 Most-Recommended Brain Boosters' Dear Friend, As a medical doctor turned natural health advocate, I believe in practicing what I preach. I credit my own robust health to a balanced approach, including a good diet, daily exercise, and targeted supplements. And as a retired neurosurgeon, I am particularly interested in brain health. While keeping up with the latest research on many nutrients, I've found that four all-natural bioactive nutrients stand out as must-have "brain boosters." One of these brain-boosting compounds, Ginkgo biloba, has been shown to inhibit the formation of the enzyme MAO-B, which emerging evidence suggests may contribute to cognitive impairment as we age. Ginkgo also may help increase circulation in the brain, as well as support cells in the brain's hippocampus. Bacopa monnieri, my second recommended brain booster, may improve higher-order cognitive processes such as learning and memory. In a three-month study published in Psychopharmacology, subjects taking this herbal extract demonstrated significantly improved speed of visual information processing, learning rate, and memory. Brain booster number three, huperzine A, is a plant extract derived from Chinese club moss. Researchers believe it works by improving the levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that transmit signals from a neuron, or nerve cell, to a target cell across a synapse. Phosphatidylserine is my recommended brain booster number four. This nutrient may help restore receptors on brain cells. These receptors permit neurotransmitters to communicate with neurons. Because of all the documented benefits provided by these powerful brain-boosting ingredients, I recently teamed up with premium supplement company Medix Select to create an all-natural supplement containing these four nutrients and more, called Cresceo™.
