High cholesterol diet helps mice with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease

The fatty myelin sheath, light green, around the nerve is vital.

A diet high in cholesterol may help people with a fatal genetic disease which damages the brain, according to early studies in mice.

Patients with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease struggle to produce a fatty sheath around their nerves, which is essential for function.

A study, published in Nature Medicine, showed that a high-cholesterol diet could increase production.

The authors said the mice “improved dramatically”.

Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) is one of many leukodystrophies in which patients struggle to produce the myelin sheath. It protects nerve fibres and helps messages pass along the nerves.

Without the sheath, messages do not travel down the nerve – resulting in a range of problems including movement and cognition.

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine, in Germany, performed a trial on mice with the disease and fed them a high cholesterol diet.

‘Striking potential’

The first tests were on mice when they were six weeks old, after signs of PMD had already emerged. Those fed a normal diet continued to get worse, while those fed a cholesterol-enriched diet stabilised.

“This six-week-long cholesterol treatment delayed the decline in motor co-ordination,” the scientists said.

Further tests showed that starting the diet early was more beneficial, leading the researchers to conclude that in mice “treatment should begin early in life and continue into adulthood”.

This study was only in mice, meaning it is not known if there would be a similar effect in people – or if there would, how early treatment would have to start.

The authors of the report said: “Dietary cholesterol does not cure PMD, but has a striking potential to relieve defects.”

It is thought the cholesterol frees up a “traffic jam” inside cells in the brain. The disease is caused by producing too much of a protein needed in myelin, which then becomes stuck inside the cells. It is thought the extra cholesterol helps to free up the protein.

    How many times did I warn you about the cholesterol connection to good brain functioning? How many times did I warned that Statin drugs actually destroy the brain and the Kidneys which control it? One of the first places that goes down quick with the Statins is the Liver which will soon show bad enzymes on an allopathic quack test. When the Liver is damaged it stops the balancing of the Spleen which then hurts the Kidney perform. Soon after Kidney dysfunctions starts the brain and bones will start to suffer including your earing and balance.

    So now do you believe me? You need saturated fat and fatty acids daily in order to perform correctly internally and especially mentally. Cholesterol is vital for repairing internal damage and keeping you alive. As I said before if you did not have this in your arteries then you would have been dead by now. It acts as a kind of puncture outfit and stops the arteries from exploding. Cholesterol will not turn to plaque unless your diet is not rich in vitamin E as Cholesterol is made up of six of the eight molecules of vitamin E. The vitamin E helps to stop the substance from oxidizing into plaque.

    I would suggest you take a quality fish oil or anything loaded with fatty acids. I’d also recommend you take food very rich in vitamin E like olive oil or unrefined Wheat germ oil. I would also promote the use of Coconut oil and lard, the latter being one of the best sources around for vitamin D when taken from properly farmed pigs. Get your lovely grass-fed organic butter. Read my other posts if you want to know more.

    If you are worried about Cholesterol please do not worry about LDL or HDL and certainly do not think that LDL is bad Cholesterol. Without LDL cholesterol you do not get fat-soluble vitamins going to your fat cells. Does that sound like a substance thats bad to you? Anyone with supposed issues should repair the Liver using high-strength Liver-restorative herbs daily for a few months. So does it make sense to damage an already damaged liver further by using Statins? You may wish to understand the role of vitamin C and amino acid functioning such as Lysine as spoken about by Linus Pauling. You may also look into the Vertical Auto Profile test looking for the Lp(A).

    So are you going to listen to me next time? Or are you going to continue to be brainwashed by propaganda stemming from Big Pharma controlled by The Worshipful Company of Apothecaries and The Worshipful Company of Barbers based at New Jerusalem aka City of London Livery Patent Pool. The ones who are hoodwinking you to make you sick and easily controlled whilst profiting off your misery until you are depopulated meeting their population reduction agenda of their Club of Rome.
