Eradicate Your Fear of Dementia By Focusing More On God (Isaiah 26:3)

You will keep him in perfect peace,

Whose mind is stayed on You,

Because he trusts in You.

In this case, the word mind comes from the Hebrew word “yêtser” by Brown-Driver-Briggs’ Definition: form, framing, purpose, framework. Focus more on your approach to the problem than focusing on the problem itself. The Blood of Jesus wrote your warranty.

Mark 12:30

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first commandment. 

Today’s world maintains a disconnect between God and man. God disconnected from us during the time of the first man, Adam. God’s holiness could not accept Adam’s action of introducing sin into His creation. Our Bible holds the key to the salvation we seek, but we must make the effort to remain obedient to this first commandment. The Scripture addresses the word heart because it also reinforces your mind’s warranty. 

Thayer’s Definition

the heart

that organ in the animal body which is the center of the circulation of the blood, and hence was regarded as the seat of physical life

denotes the center of all physical and spiritual life

the vigor and sense of physical life

the centre and seat of spiritual life

the soul or mind, as it is the fountain and seat of the thoughts, passions, desires, appetites, affections, purposes, endeavors

of the understanding, the faculty, and seat of the intelligence

will and character

of the soul so far as it is affected and stirred in a bad way or good,

or of the soul as the seat of the sensibilities, affections, emotions, desires, appetites, passions

of the middle or central or inmost part of anything, even though inanimate 

Having A Willing Heart Is Essential For A Sound Mind

As illustrated by Thayer’s definition, the heart and the mind make up the soul and are not really separate from each other.

When Christ appeared, he became the only mediator that exists between God and man. He served notice to our adversary, Satan, by sacrificing himself willingly on our behalf, that he would reclaim the keys to life and death through the resurrection power given to him by his heavenly Father. Since then, over two thousand years ago, nothing has changed, and our warranty is still in force with those who have received Yeshua Hamachiach (Jesus Christ).

To Reverse Vascular Dementia, You Must Treat The Entire Body

Do you honestly think that just taking a single pill for vascular dementia will offset the way you have abused your system since you were born? If you are forgetting things, misplacing the car keys, or your ability to recall feels like it is diminishing, there are other things to consider. If you are 50 or older, you have had plenty of time to ignore making the changes to your diet that are most likely just now catching up with you.

Contrary to the way allopathic doctors view the body, Paul, under the Holy Spirit’s anointing, sees things much differently, as he wrote in his letter to the Corinthian church.

1 Corinthians 12:20–26 (NKJV): 

But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary. And those members of the body which we think to be less honorable, on these we bestow greater honor; and our unpresentable parts have greater modesty, but our presentable parts have no need. But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

The brain receives a lot of honor for what it does; however, should the liver break down, the brain, which takes 25% of the overall body’s cholesterol in order to function, will definitely come up short.

Statin Drugs Play A Distinctive Role In Vascular Dementia And Alzheimer’s Disease

Statin drugs’ role in contributing to vascular dementia is well-known but not well publicized. Because statin drugs are incredibly effective in lowering cholesterol, and the brain is composed of 70% cholesterol, it is easy to see why their side effects are memory loss and erectile dysfunction in males. In fact, one of the main reasons why statins promote brain disorder is that their design handicaps the liver’s ability to make cholesterol. This action prevents the growth of new brain cells.

In February 2012, the FDA released a statement that statin drugs could cause cognitive side effects (i.e., memory lapses and confusion). A study by the American Medical Association published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in January 2012 noted that there was a 48 percent increased risk of diabetes among women taking statin medications.

Another observation made by Seneff describes statin drugs’ contribution to paralyzing cells’ ability to produce coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10). I supplement daily with 100 mg. because of its ability to provide energy for cell production. It is a vitamin-like substance that shares the same metabolic pathway as cholesterol. Therefore, it is also disrupted by statins, depriving the body and brain. The loss of CoQ10 in muscles contributes to a reduced capacity for energy production, which results in fatigue, shortness of breath, mobility and balance problems, weakness, muscular pain, and atrophy. We also link CoQ10 deficiency to hypertension, heart failure, and Parkinson’s disease. Furthermore, a proposal to add CoQ10 as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease is forthcoming. ³

A quote from the CDC website on statins and diabetes answers the posted question, “Can Statins Increase Blood Sugar.”

Some research has found that using statins increases blood sugar because statin use can stop your body’s insulin from doing its job properly. This can put people who use statins at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
