Here’s a list of food to help the brain. What inspired this? A post-it note asking for natural remedies for Parkinson’s Disease. I love being a reference for a holistic and alternative approach to healthcare.
This list was composed while listening to the re-play of Anthony William and Restoring Brain Health.
The Grocery List:
Chaga Powder
Turmeric and ginger
Gotu Kola (herb)
Restore glycogen with
Wild blueberries (most powerful medicinal)
Apples
Oranges
Cilantro (medicinal)
Parsley
Rosemary
Potatoes
NO ASPARTAME!!!
Heavy metal detox with:
Barley juice grass powder
Cilantro
Spirulina (Hawaiian)
Dulse (blue green algae), Kelp
Artichokes
Celery Juice (fresh pressed extremely powerful medicinal)
Cucumber juice (fresh pressed)
Leafy greens (lettuce, spinach)
Walnuts
Hemp Seeds
Coconut and coconut water, coconut butter, coconut meat
Aloe Vera
Bananas—only thing that kills HIV/AIDS in a petri dish!!!—HUGE antiviral, helps with sleep too.
Salmon, Halibut, Haddock
Minimize animal proteins each day (don’t have to quit just lower it)
Vitamins:
Melatonin (you WILL NOT get addicted to it)
Vitamin C
Curcumin (from Turmeric)
Burdock Root tea or Fresh burdock root
Magnesium glycinate
L-threonate
L-glutamine
Pharmagaba
Examples to live by:
Eat a banana everyday
Breakfast: Fruit Salad, or smoothie and celery juice
For dinner sprinkle turmeric powder and ginger on as seasoning
Cut up ginger and boil it: Drink the water. You can also juice fresh ginger
Lunch: EVERYDAY: Have a raw salad with a mixture of greens, vegetables, nuts, and berries. Top it with a dressing made from blended orange juice and avocado.
Dinner: Baked potatoes with Himalayan salt, pepper, topped with braised cabbage and avocado. Also utilize the squash family (butternut, spaghetti, acorn, and crooked neck) to replace pasta and meat.

You did not mention coconut oil, which I understood to be very beneficial for brain based disorders like Alzheimers. Thanks for the great list!!! You had lots of things I didn’t know about. I love learning new info.

You’re right! It is definitely a brain food for sure :)! Pretty much any form of coconut (except sugar) is a win!

Great list! Does the book mention dose and duration of melatonin use? I’ve read that long-term use can cause sleep dysregulatiin because the body is no longer making enough naturally.
I love love love turmeric. Being Indian, my mom put it in everything when I was a kid and I’d tease her. Joke’s on me with all the research supporting its use. lol She knew what she was doing.
Thanks for a very helpful post!

I have never heard him recommend the use of melatonin. He suggests many food that can help with sleep, such as banannas. I’d honestly have to reference the book for a more comprehensive list of sleep foods BUT he does have a blog if you just google, “sleep medical medium” I bet something will pop up for sure. He also talks quite a bit about specific tips and tricks to get more rest and regulate your sleep cycles.
I LOVE turmeric! My mother never cooked with it but now I cook with it almost everyday haha!!

Am a male aged 60 and diagnosed with Parkinson”s at 59. I had some symptoms for a few years before diagnosis; stiff achy right arm and ankle, right hand tremor when typing, tiredness, body shivers, falls due to tripping. I was always active, bicycle riding to/from work daily and putting in 2 to 3,000 miles on my bicycle per year. i was on Mysoline 250mg in 3 doses for the essential tremor. Madopar 200mgfour times a day. Sifrol 1mg three times a day, I started on Health Herbal Clinic Parkinsons Disease Herbal formula treatment in November 2016, i read alot of positive reviews on their success rate treating Parkinsons disease through their PD Herbal formula and i immediately started on the treatment. Just 8 weeks into the Herbal formula treatment I had great improvements, my hand tremors seized. I am unbelievably back on my feet again, visit Health Herbal Clinic official website My have reduced my symptoms have so much reduced that now I hardly notice them.
