The reality is that inflammation is playing a major role in most neurological disorders, but especially Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and ALS.

Reducing inflammation significantly reduces your risk of developing any one of these conditions.

Insulin resistance also increases inflammation, and may be linked to both Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.

Metals such as aluminum, lead, mercury, and cadmium increase inflammation too. And because they are often tightly bound to brain cells, these metals can be a source of chronic inflammation.

Vaccines are a major source of aluminum and mercury (especially in the case of the flu vaccine).

Anything that chronically stimulates the immune system can cause brain damage because it activates brain immune cells (microglia).

Activation of microglia — especially chronic activation — releases inflammatory chemicals and high levels of glutamate, which can cause severe damage.

This interaction and magnification of excitotoxicity by inflammation is what I have called immunoexcitotoxicity — a process that has been well-demonstrated in medical literature.

What this means is that if you have a chronic infection — such as an abscessed tooth, long-term gum infection, recurrent bladder infections, repeated vaccinations or recurrent bronchitis — you will greatly increase your risk of developing a neurological disorder because all of these conditions prolong activation of brain microglia.
