Increasing IQ, Cognition and Cure Rate of COVID-19 with Essential Nutrients ( my third book)

 I have just published my third book “Increasing IQ, Cognition and COVID-19 Cure Rate with Essential Nutrients”.  The book is now available as a softcover or Kindle e-book at Amazon. IQ of children born after World War II interests me as it had been rising until it began taking a nosedive in seven countries during the 70’s. My interest in finding out why this “brain drain” was happening came full circle with what I had researched in the 70’s and resulted in my new book. Brain drain is primarily due to environmental chemicals and viruses that impact both brain development, lowering IQ in the very young and killing neurons causing cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s in aging adults. These brain drainers are summarized in my new book.

Philippe Grandjean in his book “Only One Chance” asked the following question: “Could science develop some kind of antidote to counteract brain drain?”  The answer to Grandjean’s question is YES antidotes to counteract brain drainers have now been identified, tested, and are described in my new book. Essential nutrients as brain savers are identified that are scientifically based and tested antidotes to counteract brain drain in children and adults. Two brain savers are identified in my book and described anecdotally as detoxing brain drainers causing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and seizures in children. Also, the “Crouse Protocol” is described that uses essential nutrients as brain savers and nootropics to reverse mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and possibly prolong and save the lives of those with Alzheimer’s disease, such as my mother.

While writing my new book during 2020 it was discovered that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, was a brain drainer. Also, while writing this book it was discovered that three brain savers not only target the detox of brain drainers but also enhance the immune system. These three over-the-counter essential nutrients as brain savers have been shown during 2020 to make humans more likely to be cured and survive the COVID-19 pandemic.

I hope you find my new book useful and as interesting to read as it was to write. 

Stay Healthy, Dennis

Aricept (Donepezil) and Cholinesterase Inhibitors facilitate the progression to dementia quicker than no treatment

 Excerpt from  the book "Increasing IQ, Cognition and COVID-19 Cure Rate with Essential Nutrients .....  Targeted Detox Improves Children’s IQ, ADHD Behavior, and Adult Cognition by Dennis N Crouse    

Chapter 11. Crouse Protocol for Reversing MCI and AD

                                    Efficacy of Cholinesterase Inhibitors and Memantine

Many people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are prescribed a cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI). Those with moderate to severe AD (e.g., Mini-Mental State Examination [MMSE] scores below 15) are prescribed memantine, with in some cases a ChEI. Administration of a ChEI increases the concentration of acetylcholine by inhibiting its breakdown. These drugs treat some of the symptoms of MCI, such as memory loss, agitation, apathy, and psychotic symptoms including delusions, hallucinations, and disordered thought. Examples of ChEIs are: 

·         Galantamine (trade name Razadyne) is approved by the FDA for treatment of vascular dementia and mild to moderate AD. It enhances memory in brain-damaged adults⁵⁴⁴.

·         Rivastigmine (trade name Excelon) is approved to for mild and moderate AD.

·         Donepezil (trade name Aricept) is approved to treat all stages of AD.   

A study was published in 2011 on the efficacy of these three ChEIs and memantine taken by patients diagnosed with MCI or mild AD. Approximately one-half of 392 MCI patients and two-thirds of 188 mild AD patients were APOE-4 carriers. Among the MCI patients 33.4% received only ChEIs, 11.7% received ChEIs and memantine, and 54.9% received neither. Among the 188 AD patients 38.9% received ChEIs, 45.7% ChEIs and memantine, and 15.4% neither⁸¹⁷.

The patients with MCI were divided into three groups, only 22% of the non-treated group progressed to dementia, 43% of the ChEI treated group progressed to dementia, and 56% of the group treated with both memantine and ChEI progressed to dementia. Therefore, there is a greater  risk of dementia among people taking these drugs. The mean time to dementia was 30% quicker in the ChEI treated group than the untreated group and 42% quicker for the memantine and ChEI treated group than the untreated group. Both MCI patients and AD patients who received ChEI treatment had a more severe decline in cognition than untreated patients. Therefore, these drugs may reduce symptomology of MCI and AD but both increase the risk of dementia and hasten the progression to dementia when compared with un-treated people⁸¹⁷.

I have an acquaintance with MCI who was prescribed Aricept to improve her short-term memory but had trouble sleeping once she began taking the drug. The doctor then recommended a sleeping pill with the side effect of memory impairment. This is an example of a doctor being uniformed on the negative side effects of a prescribed drug.

Although these drugs are FDA-approved for those with MCI and AD, they are not efficacious for slowing the progression to dementia. In fact, they significantly increase the risk and speed the progression to dementia. These drugs will facilitate the progression to dementia quicker than no treatment. 

Safety of OSA Augmentation

Safety of OSA Augmentation

OSA and its salt, sodium silicate, are not silica (SiO₂ silicon dioxide). Dissolved in water, OSA and sodium silicate can’t be converted to silica and silica is not converted to OSA in the human body. Therefore, the toxicology of silica does not apply to OSA or its salt, sodium silicate. 

It is safe to drink bottled OSA rich water and beer. For a list of waters and beers see appendices I and II. It is also safe to drink handcrafted Silicade made by neutralizing a sodium silicate produced by PQ Corporation and sold online that is 99.5% water soluble (see appendix III). This product is sold by PQ Corporation directly and distributed through Brenntag to many U.S. community water departments that add it to public drinking water. In addition to being a brain saver, OSA provides corrosion protection. This PQ Corporation product meets the ANSI standard specification set by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) for silicates added to drinking water, as it contains only a 0.5% water insoluble impurity²²².

OSA is commonly found in rivers, lakes, aquifers, and drinking waters around the world¹⁴⁰. Dissolved OSA from soluble silicates added to drinking water in the U.S. is identical to dissolved OSA in beer and mineral waters^140,232.  The amount of OSA in drinking water varies widely depending upon the source¹⁴⁰.  In the U.S. 160ppm of dissolved silicates as OSA are generally recognized as safe (i.e., GRAS) in drinking water by the FDA²²¹. The adequate intake of water per day is 3 liters for men and 2.3 liters for women. This level of water intake corresponds to a maximum safe level of OSA intake per day of 480mg for men and 368mg for women. Therefore, drinking 4 cups (approximately 1 liter) of OSA rich water each day containing 50 to 150mg per liter of OSA is well below the GRAS level for dissolved silicates.

It is safe to ingest dissolved silicates, such as OSA, at concentrations well below the saturation level (i.e., less than 200ppm of OSA) in order to ensure that they will not become supersaturated and crystallize in the kidney lumen. Ingesting OSA above the saturation level (i.e., 200ppm) can result in kidney stones (a.k.a. nephrolithiasis) in dogs but almost never in humans. There is one report of kidney stones resulting from too much silicate salt, erroneously labeled as silica (SiO₂), used as an inactive ingredient (a.k.a. excipient) in several over-the-counter drugs such as Uncaria Tomentosa, Digestive Advantage, and FlexProtein supplements⁵⁰⁷.
