Here’s more evidence of how what you do to your body now can haunt you for the rest of your life.

New research shows that high cholesterol levels in your middle ages can increase your risk for Alzheimer’s disease 30 years down the road.

A study published in August in Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders looked at the cholesterol levels of nearly 10,000 men and women recorded between 1964 and 1973, when they were all in their early to mid 40s.

Then, checking the health histories of these patients between 1997 and 2007, they found that those who had elevated cholesterol levels earlier were 57 percent more likely to have Alzheimer’s disease.

Not only that, but they even found that patients who had borderline high levels of cholesterol at midlife were 50 percent more likely to suffer from vascular dementia in their senior years.

Now, you can almost hear the minds of the Big Pharma suits at work right now. They’re already trying to think of ways to get more people on their needless statins, those drugs that lower cholesterol levels and come with some pretty nasty side effects.

They won’t rest until we’re all taking these meds, but you don’t need them — cholesterol levels most of the time can be lowered easily and effectively through lifestyle changes. Studies have even shown that lowering those levels through statins won’t lower your Alzheimer’s risk.

If you want that benefit, you’re going to have to do it the right way.

For some people, elevated cholesterol is part of a larger problem caused by your hormones. I wrote all about this poorly understood condition, called metabolic syndrome, in the June and July issues of Health Revelations.

Fortunately, there are some safe, simple and natural changes you can make that will restore your body — and your cholesterol levels — to health, and if you subscribe now you can read all about it in the online archives.

My plan won’t just help you with your cholesterol levels. It will help you to lose weight, lower your risk for diabetes and lower your blood pressure too. You certainly won’t hear about this from your own doctor — he’ll just give you a prescription for each of the symptoms.

You can also lower your risk for dementia in other completely natural ways, by simply keeping yourself sharp later in life.

As I’ve mentioned before, one of the best ways to keep dementia at bay is with exercise — exercise for your mind.

One new study offers yet more evidence of how important it is to treat your mind like any other muscle and give it a good daily workout.

The study, published in August in Neurology, found a direct connection between mentally stimulating activity and the onset of Alzheimer’s. In fact, the researchers found that each day per week spent doing things like crossword puzzles, playing music or participating in group discussions delayed dementia by around two months.

So a senior who makes sure he or she does something challenging or stimulating every day of the week can delay Alzheimer’s by 14 months.

That’s more than a full year of good living when you need it most, and the only price you pay is having a little fun every day.

I know the term kike, I purposely used kite rather than kike to make the point that it does not matter whether they hide out among our race. We will ferret them out.

You obviously did not get the implication. You are not as smart as you think you are. The Georges of the world are proud of their White heritage.

It is you who hides because you are afraid to allow your white skin to occupy the place God gave it.

It matters not what these jews call themselves. We will finish Hitler’s dream. The Thousand Year Reign will yet occur.

You will either be with us or against us. America assumed the mantle of leadership via the Mormon Church.

God came here to Utah to establish this blessed nation as His own. The Moron faith has slowly risen to be the dominant religion in America. It will provide the sword to smite the beasts.

There will be no mercy. God has commanded us to exterminate those not part of His covenant. All God fearing white men will obey His call.

All God fearing white women will also obey by honoring the leadership of their man and obeying his every command. She will bear him god fearing fearless sons.

Read the Mormon bible. When Jesus came to America He was a White man. He appeared only to white men. He commanded us to take many wives and to procreate. Only white men are the true children of Jesus. This is the foundation of the Mormon Church.

It has only been recently that we have let the niggers and mud people join. That does not mean that they get a free pass from the ovens. They will be the kindling for the final blaze that will consume the beasts.

God is our Savior.

You still haven’t learned how to spell ‘Kike’ (not Kite) you idiot.

your type cannot hide behind an alias. You are to inbred and stupid to remember that you can be recognized from your comment.

I hear there’s gonna be a KKK cross burning tonight in your area, you commin’ to pray to your lord Jesus, the Jew.

You don’t have to be afraid to let the world know YOU ARE GEORGE, and not someone praising him for his bravery, you coward.

There is an excerpt from the movie screenplay “Be Cool” which I have tweaked a little in order to make it work for Joe Wilson, but we can make it work here for you too…

Taken from the script of the movie “Be Cool”. (My apologies, for the slight editing used only for effect and context, go out to Michael Arick, the writer/director of “Be Cool”.)

In response to his unprofessional, uncivilized and unwarranted and rude behavior toward the President of the United States in Obama’s Address to Congress on Health Care.

Yo, Joe! (or Anon 15, George, et al)
Have you lost your mind? I mean, how is it that you can disrespect a man’s ethnicity (everyone knows that’s what it’s about) when you know the African American community has influenced nearly every facet of white America, from our music to our style of dress, not to mention our basic imitation of their sense of cool…walk, talk, dress, mannerisms. They help to enrich our very existence, all the while contributing to the gross national product through achievements in corporate America.

It’s these conceits that comfort me when I’m faced with the ignorant, cowardly, bitter and bigoted who have no talent, no guts, people like you who desecrate things they don’t understand when the truth is you should say, “Thank you, man,” and go on about your way. But apparently, you’re incapable of doing that.

I can’t believe in your god if he teaches shits like you to act like you do. But, continue to go to church on Sunday if it helps you, otherwise I suggest you take some medicine for you ailments. George might have some, since he doesn’t take his…

I’m glad you’re not my neighbor or I would have to give a shit about you…god said…

If you frequently trade stocks or other investments (such as options or commodities) for short-term gain, consider electing “trader” status and making a “mark-to-market” election under Section 475(f) of the Tax Code. This means that your position will be valued at year-end, with any increase over cost taxed at ordinary rates and any decrease being fully deductible against ordinary income. All your gains and losses (realized and unrealized) will be deemed short term. But if you trade for short-term gains anyhow, this makes no difference. Advantages…

Investing expenses will be deductible on Schedule C of your tax return, as opposed to counting them among your miscellaneous expenses, which are deductible only to the extent that they exceed 2% of adjusted gross income.

Schedule C deductions can include a home office and related expenses, such as computing equipment, if this is your principal place of business for your trading activities.

All net investing losses will be deductible against ordinary income — instead of only $3,000 of net capital losses being deductible annually.

You’ll no longer need to keep records of holding periods or to be concerned about the wash-sale rule (which otherwise applies when the same security is sold and repurchased within 30 days).

For flexibility: Conduct your trading through a pass-through entity, such as a family partnership or one-person limited liability company, and you can still invest separately for long-term gains in your personal portfolio.
