Publisher Comments:

Arguably the most powerful organ in the body, the brain governs thoughts, moods, emotions, movement, speech, and all the body’ s functions.  Until recently, scientists believed that this mysterious organ was protected by an impermeable mechanism known as the “ blood-brain barrier.”   Only partly true, the most recent, cutting-edge research demonstrates that this barrier works on a lock-and-key-type mechanism, keeping some substances out of the brain while allowing others in.  Recent research shows that this system allows many environmental toxins and heavy metals access to the delicate brain, and that once found in the brain can take decades to eliminate— decades that can result in substantial damage in the form of inflammation and plaque build up in the brain.

There is hope.  New research shows that specific foods and nutrients, when eaten frequently and in specific doses can access the brain and escort the toxins and metals out of the brain.  The Brain Wash will guide you through the research to show you how to protect your brain from destructive synthetic industrial chemicals found in our air, food and water to help prevent the array of brain disorders set to plague millions of North Americans.

For the first time ever, The Brain Wash shows you how to harness this research to, literally, lock out brain-destroying toxins while letting in brain-building nutrients.  This groundbreaking book explains how some drugs, environmental pollutants, heavy metals, and pathogens cross the blood-brain barrier to wreak havoc on this delicate organ, what this means to your health, and how to stop and prevent potentially-serious orlife-threatening damage. 

You’ ll learn about the worst brain-damaging substances (most are found in common foods) so you can lessen your exposure.  What’ s more, you’ ll master a step-by-step plan that is easy to incorporate into any lifestyle to reap the lifelong benefits of protecting your brain.  The difference between brain health and illness is revealed in this revolutionary book.
