But when it comes to keeping a sharp memory well into our 70s, 80s, and 90s…
And preventing cognitive decline from destroying your memories…
This tiny gland is actually a VERY big deal…
It looks like this inside your brain:
He said that when things are working normally…
This tiny, pea-sized gland produces a constant flood of melatonin in your brain.
Now, you’ve probably heard of melatonin before or even taken it as a supplement to help you sleep…
But scientists at Harvard Medical School and the University of Texas recently discovered that the “natural” supply of melatonin from your pineal gland is much different…
Because in addition to helping you sleep better….
It’s also a powerful “neuroprotector” for your brain…
That is constantly at work clearing out inflammation, creating new neurons and connections, and preventing cognitive decline from infecting your brain.
The problem is…
As we get older, your pineal gland stops producing this natural supply of melatonin…
Leading to what he calls: “Neural Drought.”
This is when your brain tissues and cells are infiltrated by all kinds of free radicals and dangerous plaque build up that allows cognitive decline to form and spread…
Soon your brain cells begin to die off by the billions…
Your brain tissue shrivels up and recedes…
And your cherished memories are rapidly destroyed…
Until it finally robs you of control over your own mind.
Dr. Harrison said this is why most brain supplements and even prescription drugs never do much to improve our memory problems as we age…
And it's not a coincidence that as you get older…
You have trouble sleeping and your memory starts to fade at the same time.
“It all stems from a drought of melatonin in your brain,” he said.
I was shocked to say the least…
But if you’re wondering why your pineal gland stops making melatonin in the first place…
Dr. Harrison said that, while aging does play a small part in it…
The REAL culprit is something much more shocking…
“It’s Fluoride,” Dr. Harrison told me…
Now, obviously you know what fluoride is…
And how it’s in our tap water and toothpaste products…
You might even know that health experts have long been divided on whether or not it’s harmful to us…
But according to Dr. Harrison, this long-term debate was recently and very definitely settled…
When an extremely distinguished scientist from Harvard, Dr. Philippe Granjean, published a shocking study…
Showing that fluoride is actually an extremely powerful “neurotoxin”...
And proved that prolonged exposure to it can decrease your IQ, hinder brain function, and even lead to neurodegenerative disease such as cognitive decline.
His findings were so controversial, that the higher ups at the Harvard School of Public Health pressured him to revise his conclusions…
But he refused their threats and even won himself an award for his scientific integrity…
Since then, the floodgates have opened into researching fluoride’s effects on the brain…
“That’s how we discovered what’s REALLY problematic about fluoride when it comes to cognitive decline,” Dr. Harrison said.
You see…
He told me that numerous studies have shown how fluoride accumulates in our pineal glands more than anywhere else in our bodies…
And this toxic build up of fluoride essentially dries out your gland…
Until it shrinks and hardens over, like a tiny dried out raisin in our brains…
And scientists all over the country are now publishing studies that prove this leads directly to cognitive decline…
“It's almost like fluoride is the kryptonite of our brains,” Dr. Harrison said…
“And every time you drink tap water, or brush your teeth, or even eat certain foods…
That toxic fluoride is slowly building up in your pineal gland…
Then drying it out and hardening it…
Stopping your natural melatonin and causing your memories to disappear.”
