So excited about how many people we will hopefully help when our new book “The Healing Self” comes out later this month - combining scientific & spiritual knowledge to maximize your immunity.

For those interested in taking a deeper dive into our infection theory of Alzheimer's disease, we have now published "The Antimicrobial Protection Hypothesis of Alzheimer's Disease".
When you think about your disease risk as you age, unless you’ve inherited some very rare gene mutations, the lifestyle choices you make now are the main determinants of your future health. Read more in my new book “The Healing Self”.
True choice begins with awareness of the behavior your brain is trying to induce in you based on lifelong programming, using a medium of neurochemical control. Self-awareness will set you free.

Remembering a best friend and brilliant colleague, Dr Rob Moir. Deepest condolences to his family and to the many friends who love him. And, thank you, Sharon for this tribute

Our new study has been published in the journal Neuron finally showing how exercise reduces risk for Alzheimer’s disease and how new therapeutics can be developed based on this discovery. Congrats to Dr. Se Hoon Choi

and Dr. Eunhee Kim!!
Thank you to all who have congratulated me for my election to the National Academy of Medicine. This is the highest honor in the field of medicine and health. But, the real honor is the many good wishes and congratulations from all of you. Thank you!!
Your choices create your experiences.. which create your memories..which then create your thoughts, feelings, and imagination. *You* are none of these. The *real* you is the aware being that observes and guides this process.

You can read here a summary of our "Innate Immune Hypothesis of Alzheimer's Disease" connecting infection and genetic risk factors as the causes of Alzheimer's disease
Rudolph Tanzi, PhD, of
@MGHNeurology
, and investigators at Mass General, hypothesize that build-up of beta-amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, is part of a innate immune protection response that later leads to the disease
@MassGeneralNews
The scientist asks “what happens, and when and where will it happen?”. The engineer asks “how does it happen?”. The philosopher asks “why does it happen?” The enlightened one asks “who is asking?”.
Announcement of the first successful clinical trial targeting amyloid in Alzheimer’s patients! Since isolating the amyloid protein in 1984 to the finding the gene in 1987, many of us hung on to the belief this would work, despite the failures. Let’s hope!
True freedom only becomes possible when you are aware of how your brain is controlling you and transcend it. This is what we teach in our book “Super Brain”, which may have been more accurately titled “Super You”.

Very psyched about our upcoming book (with
@DeepakChopra
) "The Healing Self" - we will tell you how your habits and chronic stress can lead to chronic inflammation and disease...and how to fix it.
Our new study published today in the journal "Science" validates what
@DeepakChopra
and I wrote in our most recent book "The Healing Self" - exercise triggers the birth of new brain neurons. This leads to improved memory in Alzheimer's mice.
The main component of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease is an antimicrobial peptide (Abeta) that is induced to form a plaque when it interacts with a microbe, e.g. bacteria, virus, or fungus. It is part of the brain’s innate immune system, i.e. microbes can trigger plaques.
Our new study published today in the journal "Science", shows how exercise-induced birth of new neurons the brain (neurogenesis) improves memory in Alzheimer's mice. We also showed how to mimic these effects with gene therapy and pharmacological agents.
Great article on our studies using “neurogenesis” to treat Alzheimer’s disease, written by Robin
