“Alzheimer’s is a physician-caused disease.” That according to Dr. Joel Wallach, former veterinarian, naturopath, nutritionist and author, including the book “Dead Doctors Don’t Lie.” Dr. Wallach said that too many doctors are working too hard to get their patients to avoid cholesterol. He said that cholesterol is not a boogey-man.

Dr. Wallach said the brain is 75%, by-weight, cholesterol and if people continue to restrict cholesterol from their diets and take statin drugs they will get Alzheimer’s. He claimed that the disease did not exist 40 years ago.

On <a href=”http://610kvnu.com/assets/podcaster/328/2013_03_12_328_9104_2867.mp3″ target=”_blank”>KVNU’s Crosstalk program Tuesday</a>, Dr. Wallach said a great <a href=”http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14732624″ target=”_blank”>study on Alzheimer’s by Johns Hopkins</a> was done in Cache Valley over a 10-year period.

“This is a perfect place to do this kind of study,” Dr. Wallach said. “They’re all on the same diet, they live in the same place, all have the same origin, eat the same thing because of their religious beliefs.

“Then you just give half of the people in the study two vitamins, and they have 78%, just shy of 80% less Alzheimer’s disease than the one’s who didn’t get those two vitamins.”

Dr. Wallach is a proponent of proper nutrition and essential vitamins which, in proper doses, can solve many of the health problems plaguing America today, including muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis.

Dr. Wallach drew an overflow crowd when he spoke in Logan Tuesday evening.
