hospital after 4 months with some memory loss.
SUPPLEMENTS
CURCUMIN
 Antioxidant
 Anti-inflammatory
 Anti-fungal
 Anti-bacterial properties
 Has the ability to produce BDNF by activating the Nrf2 pathway,
creating antioxidants, that protect mitochondria
• Mitochondria provide all cellular energy
 Phytonutrients, including curcumin, spirulina and
chlorella activate the Nrf2 pathway
INTRA-VEINOUS
VITAMIN THERAPY
 Glutathione
• Powerful brain antioxidant in human physiology
• Prime focus for brain research around the world
• Responsible for
• synthesis, protection and repair of DNA
• synthesis of proteins and transport of amino acids
• metabolism of toxins and carcinogens
• immune enhancement
• activation of enzymes
• elimination of heavy metals.
• Scientists measure glutathione levels as an indicator of
cellular health
