"Benign forgetfulness occurs when you forget where you left your car keys; malignant forgetfulness occurs when you forget that you own a car. The point here is that benign forgetfulness should be expected and understood. Many elderly individuals project themselves into needless fear over normal episodes of benign forgetfulness. Benign forgetfulness can be compensated for by recognizing the need to develop helpful ways to aid memory. Learn to post notes to help you remember and leave something you want to take with you in front of the door." - Ross Pelton, Mind Food and Smart Pills (Get the book.)

"Just how much forgetfulness in our daily lives does it take to qualify as a disease and how much can be chalked up to normal aging? Despite the billions of dollars we've spent on research in the last several decades, not even the best scientists in the world have an answer to these questions. No one knows what the molecular event is that differentiates Alzheimer's from aging. Claims have been made, but, as is all too frequent with "breakthroughs," they have not been replicated by other scientists." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.)

"Supplementation with six tablets of Optivite daily was associated with significant reduction in all symptom categories, including those with PMS-D (depression, insomnia, forgetfulness, crying, and confusion). Those with PMS-H (premenstrual weight gain, breast tenderness, abdominal bloating, and swelling of the arms and legs) did not receive any benefit. If 12 tablets were taken, then there were significant reductions of symptoms in all groups." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"The body (or brain) has only so many ways of saying ouch—sadness, happiness, anxiousness, forgetfulness, trouble with attention—but the reasons each person has that experience may be completely different. So how can we find a new model that gets to the root of the problem? This model already exists. This new medical paradigm has been laid out in detail in The Textbook of Functional Medicine (to which I contributed two chapters). It is a story of how all the pieces of the puzzle that create disease and promote health fit together. It is based on excellent science." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"John's-wort caused an increase in swelling, frequent urination, and sexual dysfunction, while sertraline caused diarrhea, nausea, sexual dysfunction, forgetfulness, frequent urination, and sweating. Critics of these studies said that selecting only patients with severe depression obscured the potential benefits for patients with mild depression. One recent meta-analysis of patients with severe depression did not show consistent effects for St.-John's-wort: There was only about a 15% increase in efficacy over placebo for severe depression. Another meta-analysis of St." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Additional symptoms may include headaches, atrophic vaginitis, frequent urinary tract infections, forgetfulness, and cold hands and feet (poor circulation). These symptoms occur as a result of changing hormone levels in the body and the body's attempt to balance those hormone levels. Psychological symptoms are often attributed to menopause, but it is not clear whether these symptoms are caused by the lack of estrogen or are a reaction to the physical symptoms and the sleep disturbances caused by the night sweats." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"When our exposure is constant over long periods of time a kind of forgetfulness, or what Martin Prechtel calls "amnesia," sets in. We forget what it is like to be connected to the earth and to the spirit that is inherent in every plant, every tree, every rock, every stream, every mountain, and every animal. Because it is this spirit that gives us our very life, when we are cut off from it withering occurs and spiritual malnourishment begins." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"Other common symptoms of mercury poisoning are headaches, difficulty concentrating, difficulty with reading comprehension, forgetfulness, depression, and skin changes. "It is very difficult," Dr. Zamm adds, "to prove mercury poisoning, except after the fact, when the mercury is out and the patient feels better. Taking a whole group of fillings out is not a minor matter, so I have devised some tests to assess whether or not it is worth proceeding in this direction. "If you crave sugar and sugar makes you sick," Dr. Zamm says, "and you are already suspicious about that, then take this test." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) "One of the most disturbing symptoms of aging is diminished brain function, which can cause everything from forgetfulness and loss of concentration to Alzheimer's and other serious diseases. Fortunately, modern research reveals that much can be done to keep the brain in top form. As evidenced by recent articles in mainstream medical journals, including a 2006 editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association, even conventional doctors are realizing that nondrug treatments such as nutrition, supplements, exercise, and memory training can yield safe and effective results.

In a lot of these cases, you can actually isolate and eliminate the foods that cause an anxiety attack, but merely removing the food is not enough to get to the underlying cause of the disorder. Frequently patients have food allergies because of a pre-existing condition in their digestive systems which has to be addressed." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

Sinatra, M.D., Sugar Shock!: How Sweets and Simple Carbs Can Derail Your Life-- and How YouCan Get Back on Track (Get the book.)

"This may explain, in part, a relatively short span of collective memory for these events: as public expectations of remediation are slowly dimmed and then eclipsed, time passes and forgetfulness sets in. The scenarios by which corrective action has so often been thwarted have been staggeringly duplicative over their long history. The same old arguments against the need for protective action, in the workplace and for the wider environment, have been paraded forth time and again, simply reoutfitted in whatever the costume of the day is." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"Occasional memory loss or forgetfulness is common. However, if you begin to notice certain memory-related problems happening, such as forgetting things much more often than you did before, forgetting how to do something that was commonplace to you before, getting lost in familiar surroundings, or repeating the same conversation over and over again to the same person, there may be cause for concern. Q The keys to having a good memory are in attitude and approach. As we age, our attitudes change. Our ability to remember isn't affected as much as we think." - Phyllis A.

Between the twigs at the tips of the major branches are areas of brain that are dependent on blood from each of the surrounding trees. The area farthest from two blood-supply lines is the watershed area where we tend to have ministrokes when the branches of surrounding trees are pruned by atherosclerosis or the tree trunks themselves wither from poor maintenance (see Figure 1.3)." - Mehmet C.
