Unfortunately, my first exposure to dangerous chemicals, the precursor to my Parkinson’s disease, was during my mom’s pregnancy. My father was stationed at Camp Lejeune, NC, with my mother in 1958, and my mother got pregnant on base with me. I was born that same year in October. Camp Lejeune has a 70% higher rate of Parkinson’s than any other base the government has tested.

It wasn’t until I was around 13 years old that I asked my mom why I didn’t have any brothers or sisters? She was a direct, no-nonsense woman, and she told me the truth. During her second and third trimesters, she became seriously ill and nearly lost me multiple times. Eventually, I was born, and while I seemed okay at the time, none of us knew the lasting damage caused by the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.

Doctors believed something was wrong with my mother and ultimately recommended a hysterectomy. But the real cause was hidden in plain sight—chemicals in the drinking water at Camp Lejeune, specifically TCE (trichloroethylene) and benzene, were to blame. We didn’t know it then, but the contamination was already changing the course of our lives.

Since breastfeeding wasn’t widely practiced in the 1950s, my very first nourishment came from baby formula mixed with water from the Navy hospital at Camp Lejeune, water that was later found to be contaminated with high levels of TCE (trichloroethylene) and benzene.

TCE, widely used by the military to clean uniforms, weapons, and machinery, has since been strongly associated with Parkinson’s disease. At Camp Lejeune, Parkinson’s cases were documented by the US government at 70% higher than on other U.S. military bases where tested. The pattern extends beyond the military: the dry-cleaning industry, where TCE was also heavily used for decades, shows a 500% higher incidence of Parkinson’s compared to the general population. In many cases, TCE-contaminated waste, including dry-cleaning fluid, was dumped directly into drains or soil, allowing it to leach into groundwater, air, and living spaces.

NBC’s documentary “Baby Heaven” uncovered the heartbreaking reality of Camp Lejeune’s contamination, revealing entire hospital wards filled with birth defects so severe that doctors once took a poll to decide whether to attempt resuscitating some of the newborns. Doctors donated money to bury the infants.

In my 20s, I started experiencing unexplained nerve-related issues. I had severe dental nerve pain, resulting in root canals in every tooth by the time I turned 30. More challenging to talk about, but just as important, I also suffered from debilitating erectile dysfunction at 25 years old, with no apparent cause at that time.

Years later, I finally learned the truth: exposure to toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune can cause long-term neurological damage. A world-renowned Urologist studied my nerve damage for ED and bladder issues and confirmed in my medical records that exposure at Camp Lejeune was the cause of my Parkinson’s disease and several urological problems I’ve faced since. He entered all those notes in my medical report.

No one has found a true cure for Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or dementia — yet.

As pointed out by Nebraska Medicine, more than a century ago, Dr. Alois Alzheimer described the brain changes in a younger woman who had passed away from what is now known as Alzheimer’s disease. Neurologist Dan Murman, MD. “The hallmark changes were amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. That’s been the focus of Alzheimer’s research ever since.” However, clearing all this, as the mice showed clearly, those with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and dementia with Lewy bodies at least showed a 100% improvement.

The buildup of amyloid begins approximately 15 years before symptoms of memory loss appear. By the time significant memory loss occurs, the amount of amyloid in the brain is high and remains relatively stable thereafter. Well, unless you intervene and use something like I did to reverse that effect.

And while there’s plenty of promising research, the reality is sobering. According to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, it takes 10 to 15 years and over $2.5 billion to bring a single drug to market, if it even works without devastating side effects.

It wasn’t until I began uncovering the full extent of the Camp Lejeune water contamination and the government’s long-standing cover-up that I realized just how deep the damage went. I filed legal claims on behalf of both me and my mother (who died in 2012). But at some point, I had to shift my focus from what was done to us… to what I could do about it. That’s when I set out to find a real solution, not just for myself, but for millions of others facing the same challenges.

I didn’t begin noticing tremors and balance issues from Parkinson’s symptoms until 2022. My doctor referred to two neurologists, both of whom confirmed the clinical diagnosis. But even before that, I knew something was wrong. I was losing my balance, dragging my right foot, and my left hand had a tremor, especially the pinky, while typing. It didn’t stop there. The tremors worsened. I began falling, hard. Once, I even blacked out after splitting my head open. These weren’t just symptoms; they were life-altering signs that I had to act urgently.

I have two neurological diseases, both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. When it got bad, it was bad. The Alzheimer’s part really frightened me one time. While driving down a road I had driven for 20 years, I suddenly realized I had forgotten where I was. It was incredibly frightening. I couldn’t remember how to get back home from that road I had driven so many times. I took the wrong turns. Sometimes I don’t know where my keys are, why I walked into a room, or what I wanted to do. When I started taking My Brain Restore^TM, I became sharper, more focused, and renewed. After a few months, it was working in small steps, but it nevertheless continued to improve over time. At the time this was published, I was in my 9th month of taking the My Brain Restore^TM supplement/nutraceutical.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have that kind of time. People like us need support now, not in a decade. That’s why I created My BRAIN RESTORE™ not just to wait for a cure, but to fight for one, today.

But with my father’s Marine background of “kill the enemy before it kills you” and my own entrepreneurial drive, I knew this couldn’t be the end. I turned to cutting-edge research and emerging technologies, determined not just to be a patient, but a problem-solver. I had to think outside the enormous time to approve something by the FDA and the big pharma box.

My doctor first mentioned a DAT scan, but after reviewing accurate reports from the Michael J. Fox Foundation, I realized it wasn’t the most reliable tool. Digging deeper, I discovered a far more advanced diagnostic: the Syn-One (P-Syn) test. It’s one of the most accurate Parkinson’s tests available, approaching 100% accuracy, and was newly covered by Medicare, which I had just qualified for.

The results came back positive. The test revealed unmistakable misfolded alpha-synuclein proteins, the hallmark of Parkinson’s, actual visual evidence, not just clinical guesswork. (See image below to the right.)

This confirmation didn’t just validate my symptoms; it fueled my next steps.

What this picture from my medical test report represents “in me” is the misfolded protein Alpha-Synuclein (P-Syn). This should be the gold standard for testing for Parkinson’s, but it simply is not. All doctors are using old techniques and clinical diagnosis only in most cases. I could not get my doctors to order it, so I did it myself and sent it to them. No doctor liked what I did, but my life and testing are in my own trembling hands. On average, doctors spend 7 minutes with a patient and hand out things they’ve been doing forever, no time to learn anything new.

Now that my doctors like this test, having seen it for the first time and given a 100% positive result, my neurologist plans to offer it to other patients, further validating its importance. Now they like it. Misfolded alpha-synuclein (α-synuclein) is most commonly associated with Parkinson’s disease, but it’s not exclusive to it. This misfolded protein is implicated in several neurodegenerative disorders, collectively referred to as synucleinopathies. Misfolded 𝛼-synuclein, “the pathogenic hallmark of Parkinson’s disease” Stephen Strittmatter, MD. Ph.D Yale School of Medicine

Amyloid is an aggregation of a protein called beta-amyloid that accumulates in the brain of older adults. It’s one of the hallmark brain changes in Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists don’t know precisely what role amyloids play in Alzheimer’s disease, but it appears that amyloids may be damaging or toxic to nerve cells. The detrimental effects are not limited to the brain. Amyloid can also cause peripheral neuropathy (damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord), as seen in various systemic amyloidosis disorders.

My Alzheimer’s had been detected in the amyloid beta test in 2023. Later, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and both clinical and biopsies confirmed Parkinson’s. (see above right)

The amyloid-beta blood test has been primarily used to detect Alzheimer’s disease. However, the NIH, National Institutes of Health, has found that low beta amyloid ratios are associated with worsening cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease, especially in cases where dementia occurs, while other studies failed to replicate this finding.

This test detects signs of the brain’s failure to clear amyloid-beta from the brain via the glymphatic system (sometimes referred to as the dishwasher of the brain) and move it into the bloodstream, an early marker of Alzheimer’s disease. Once in the bloodstream, it is broken down by the liver and safely removed.

In young people, this bad amyloid beta ratio rarely occurs, but after individuals encounter various chemicals, air pollution, household cleaning agents, and paint, all of which contain TCE, which I was exposed to during my infancy at Camp Lejeune, which has a 70% higher rate of people with Parkinson’s than any other base the government tested. Then it gets bad.

Other people, such as auto mechanics and construction workers, used TCE cleaner frequently. Those in the dry-cleaning industry have a 500% higher rate of Parkinson’s due to these chemicals. And you can certainly assume from that that picking up dry cleaning and putting it in your car would expose you to TCE fumes. TCE can come from degreasing activities associated with tool and automotive production. TCE can enter the groundwater and surface water, as happened at Camp Lejeune. Contamination can come from people who live near factories, simply from exposure to air pollution. You probably have TCE in a can somewhere in your home, glues, including those for wigs and hair extensions, some carpet and rug cleaning fluids, spot removers, and metal cleaners, paints, wood finishes, and varnishes, paint removers/strippers and stain removers, typewriter correction fluid, and some lubricants or degreasers.. TCE can be absorbed through the skin. TCE has even been detected in processed foods because it was used to clean equipment that makes that food.

There’s probably no one on earth who hasn’t come in contact with TCE; it’s literally everywhere. But it is not the only chemical or genetic condition that can cause neurological problems. Case in point: A recent report, published on October 14, 2025, by Communications Biology, showed that beached dolphins exhibit signs of Alzheimer’s disease due to polluted waters. So essentially, there’s no safe place.

In December 2024, TCE was finally banned in the United States. However, TCE stays in the ground or other locations for many years.

Air pollution doesn’t just harm the lungs and heart; it may also damage the brain. Studies led by Antonella Zanobetti, Environmental Epidemiologist and Principal Research Scientist at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, have shown that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and other airborne toxins may increase the risk of neurological diseases, including dementia and Parkinson’s. These pollutants can cross the blood–brain barrier, trigger neuroinflammation, and accelerate the accumulation of toxic proteins, such as amyloid and tau, both key markers of neurodegenerative conditions.

The lower the numbers in an amyloid beta test, the worse your condition is, and according to many doctors and even massive research that has been done, it is irreversible. Let me repeat that it’s irreversible.

Then you must ask yourself, why did my numbers get better? Am I the first person on the planet to have reversed the results of this test by taking only My Brain Restore? I’m not going to give up until I get into the Green Zone of the numbers. But I already knew it before I took the test; my brain had become sharper, clearer, and focused. And I could remember things that I couldn’t before. My Parkinson’s tremors, tripping, and falling issues stopped. Even my neurologist noticed my tremors had subsided. I’m not cured, but way better, and who knows one day?

A recent study by Columbia University (June 4, 2025) revealed that enhancing the brain’s natural self-cleaning process, the glymphatic system, can help flush out toxic proteins such as amyloid and tau, thereby improving cognition in mice. In the Japanese experiments, when they dissected the mice, they revealed that their brains were all clear of plaques, indicating that the plaques had to leave the brain and enter the bloodstream, a straightforward finding.

I got the Aβ42 (BETA AMYLOID 42/40) test in 2023 (test results on the left). While controversial at the time, it provided insight into how effectively the brain cleanses itself of harmful proteins. Unfortunately, my results weren’t good.

Though many physicians and the FDA criticized Quest Diagnostics for offering the amyloid beta test directly to patients, I’m grateful I got access when I did. Today, this same test has evolved into an FDA-approved test, as of May 19, 2025, now called Lumipulse, which is available through physicians. Also, a similar test is available on amyloid.com. Additionally, Quest Diagnostics can still perform the same test with a doctor’s prescription.

Spinal taps have been the traditional method, but I wasn’t ready to go down that road. This blood test gave me another baseline to track my neurological health and helped fuel my commitment to a real solution. A blood test is a whole lot simpler than a spinal tap.

I have two neurological diseases, both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. When it got bad, it was bad. The Alzheimer’s part really frightened me one time.While driving down a road I had driven for 20 years,I suddenly realized I had forgotten where I was.

It was incredibly frightening. I couldn’t remember how to get back home from that road I had driven so many times. I took the wrong turns. Sometimes I don’t know where my keys are, why I walked into a room, or what I wanted to do. When I started taking My Brain Restore^TM, I became sharper, more focused, and renewed. After a few months, it was working in small steps, but it continued to improve over time nonetheless. I could remember things that I couldn’t before. My Parkinson’s tremors, tripping, and falling issues stopped. Even my neurologist noticed my tremors had subsided.

By October 2025, I had been taking the My Brain Restore™ supplement/nutraceutical for nine months.

My Alzheimer’s had been detected in the amyloid beta test in 2023. Later, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and both clinical and biopsies confirmed Parkinson’s.

This test detects signs of the brain’s failure to clear amyloid-beta in the brain (via the glymphatic system, sometimes referred to as the dishwasher of the brain) and move it into the bloodstream, an early marker of Alzheimer’s disease. Once in the bloodstream, it is broken down by the liver and safely removed.

The lower the numbers in an amyloid beta test, the worse your condition is, and according to many doctors and even massive research that has been done, it is irreversible. Let me repeat that it’s irreversible.

October 10, 2025 — Update

After months of persistence, I finally convinced a physician to repeat the Aβ42 (Beta-Amyloid 42/40) blood test, a test most doctors say can’t be reversed once it declines. I was told repeatedly that improvement was “impossible.” Well, I wasn’t buying that.

After eight months of taking My Brain Restore™ and no prescriptions for Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, my ratio improved from 0.134 to 0.147, a 10% increase in the right direction. That’s still in the higher-risk zone but moving steadily toward the intermediate range of 0.150–0.169. The higher the number, the better.

This change suggests that my brain’s glymphatic system —the natural “cleaning network”, the Dishwasher of the brain, that helps flush out toxins and proteins, was working better, likely supported by the daily use of My Brain Restore™. I never missed a day. As I often say, the supplement is useless if it stays in the jar.

My Brain Restore is the only Supplement that supports the Glymphatic system: an emerging therapeutic approach for neurological disorders. (Discovered in 2012 by Norwegian scientists and then rediscovered in May of 2025 by scientists in the United States, studying different animals.

“There is growing evidence from animal experiments that the glymphatic system dysfunction is involved in many neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and meningitis. Increasing researches over the past decade have shown that the glymphatic system acts clearing the metabolic waste and modulating water transport in the brain, and the dysfunction of the glymphatic system is proved to be involved in various neurological diseases through animal experiments, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), mood disorder and infectious or autoimmune disease.” Department of Neurology, Neuroscience Centre, The First Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, China and Department of Neurobiology, Care Sciences and Society, Karolinska Institute, Karolinska University Hospital, Solna, Sweden.

To ensure accuracy, I used the same test, the same lab (Quest Diagnostics), and the same procedure as before. The amyloid-beta ratio is now considered one of the most accurate early indicators of neurological health. In the future, it may even serve as a key marker for the progression of Parkinson’s disease.

While the main ingredient in My Brain Restore™ supports brain detoxification pathways and healthy neurological function (as observed in animal studies), I’ve also added an optional supplement pack, known as the “clean-up crew.” These additional nutrients help support the body’s natural detox and anti-inflammatory responses, promoting cellular renewal.

The Japanese scientists who pioneered the original mouse study didn’t test these additional supplements, but even they noted that supporting supplements for brain cleanup and cellular recovery might accelerate results.

I got the test redone at Quest Diagnostics. I didn’t want anyone to say I used a different process, and that’s why the numbers are different; no, it was the same test done at the same lab using the same technique. The amyloid beta test is becoming the gold standard test for Alzheimer’s.

Besides the natural ingredients in My Brain Restore^TM, which have so far had minimal or no side effects. Some Drugs, Lecanemab (Leqembi™) and Donanemab (Kisunla™), are anti-immune drugs that were initially used for cancer and are now being used for neurological diseases.

My personal problem with these drugs is that the side effects can be extremely severe, including fever, chills, flu-like symptoms, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, changes in blood pressure, and shortness of breath. Headaches are common, including diarrhea, cough, and fatigue, and Severe, life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis and angioedema) are possible. Treatment consists of IV infusions every two weeks. A baseline MRI is required before starting therapy, followed by three safety MRIs within the first six months. Treatment typically continues for 2-3 years until a patient progresses to a moderate stage of dementia.

Wow, for me, that’s a last resort sort of thing, not to mention the cost. $79,500 to $96,000 over a three-year therapy just for the drug; it doesn’t include the infusions or the cost of MRIs, which must be done constantly.

So, I guess for me, the natural ingredient that did cure 100% of the mice from Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and dementia just seemed to make more sense to try it first. However, you must understand that it could take approximately 15 years or more for those plaques to build up and cause problems. Therefore, it will take many years, regardless of what you do, to clear them up. This is the same for My Brain Restore^TM, and I’m not sure I ever want to stop taking it. I mean, I don’t want these neurological issues to come back. It provides a more natural and straightforward approach, and I agree that we’re not mice, so it may not work as quickly. However, mice only live two years, and we can live up to 100 years. So, the result time has to be in perspective.

The test on the left indicates liver functions I got done also on October 10, 2025. Now I included this because I’ve always had high liver functions, probably due to Camp Lejeune’s toxic TCE and benzene in the water. Those high liver functions were never quite explained by my doctors. They did ultrasound scans on my liver, plenty of blood work, but my liver functions were always high, and I don’t drink beer or hard liquor.

But as you can see from the panel done at the same time, I got the amyloid test; the liver functions were excellent. As a matter of fact, the best I’ve ever had.

Now, the reason I got the liver function test was to see if My My Brain Restore^TM was causing the liver function to increase or become high at times, which can happen with specific supplements and can actually cause problems for the liver. AARP (April 3, 2025) actually lists supplements that can cause problems for the liver, including Ashwagandha, Black cohosh, Garcinia cambogia, Green tea extract, Red yeast rice, and Turmeric/curcumin.

But the point of these liver tests for me was to show if My Brain Restore^TM was causing any high liver functions, but it did not. I really can’t attribute that to My Brain Restore^TM. However, it shows that My Brain RestoreTM does not cause elevated liver function. I’m happy my liver functions, but I’m not exactly sure where that came from. You can draw your own conclusion.

Am I the first person on the planet to have reversed the results of this test by taking only My Brain Restore? I’m not going to give up until I get into the Green Zone of the numbers. But I already knew it before I took the test; my brain had become sharper, clearer, and focused. And I could remember things that I couldn’t before. My Parkinson’s tremors, tripping, and falling issues slowed or stopped. Even my neurologist noticed my tremors had subsided.

Plants and Their Seeds: The Original Parkinson’s Treatments

Long before modern pharmaceuticals, traditional medicine recognized the power of plants in treating neurological conditions. In India, over 2,500 years ago, the plant Mucuna pruriens was used to help elderly individuals with tremors, symptoms now associated with Parkinson’s disease.

The ancient medical text Susruta Samhita, written around 600 BC, actually describes these tremor-related symptoms. Mucuna pruriens, known for its naturally high levels of levodopa (L-DOPA), a dopamine precursor, is still used in Ayurvedic medicine today.

Modern science caught up much later. In 1967, high-dose oral levodopa therapy was introduced by Dr. George Cotzias, showing dramatic improvement in Parkinson’s symptoms. By 1970, the FDA approved Levodopa as a treatment, marking the beginning of today’s pharmaceutical approach to managing the disease.

The truth is, plants and their seeds have always played a central role in treating neurological disorders, and they still may hold the key to what’s next. But this old medicine, L-Depo, is what doctors call the honeymoon effect. In other words, it might work for five years, but then the honeymoon is over. You see, the brain is still losing dopamine-producing cells while you’re giving it dopamine. Eventually, you lose. You have to support the source, which My Brain Restore does, and allow the brain to naturally produce its own dopamine. You have to wake up the glynhatic system to get it to start doing its cleaning. And I have met many neurologists who don’t even know what that system is. I get it, they don’t have time to study, so give out the old stuff.f Leave it at that. That’s not for me.

The problem with most treatments for neurological diseases is that they only replace what the brain isn’t producing; they don’t fix the brain itself. To explain it, I used to take insulin for diabetes. Like many doctors and research scientists, I believed my pancreatic cells were dead. But researchers later discovered those cells weren’t gone; they were just asleep. Enter Ozempic, it doesn’t just manage symptoms, it wakes up the pancreas cells, getting them working again. That changed everything for me. I haven’t needed insulin in a year.

Both the Syn-One Test and the Aβ42 test are extremely new diagnostic tools. While Syn-One has significantly more clinical validation and is covered by Medicare, the Aβ42 test is less definitive, it may indicate Parkinson’s rather than Alzheimer’s, making interpretation more complex. Either way, I have a baseline for future tests using My Brain Restore™. This allows me to release test data in My Brain Restore™ favor as I see it develop.

It’s rare, but I’m not just the inventor of My Brain Restore™. I’m also a patient using it daily to fight Parkinson’s and early-stage Alzheimer’s. That puts me in a unique position. I can speak honestly about my own improvements, as someone living with these conditions, while respecting FDA rules that prevent supplement makers from making medical claims.

Most companies create products they’ve never used personally. I built this formula because I need it. And I’ll continue to share my journey. And I hope all of you will share your journey with me, and hopefully, you will find that My Brain Restore™ works well enough for your neurological conditions that you can share your stories as well.

When I researched what was available, I found that there wasn’t much. There’s the old Levpopa. When I say OLD, I’m not kidding. L-DOPA was first synthesized in 1911 by Casimir Funk, the Polish biochemist who coined the term vitamin. In 1913, Marcus Guggenheim, a biochemist from Hoffmann-La Roche in Basel, isolated the pure enantiomer L-DOPA from the exotic bean plant Vicia faba.

That’s the kind of breakthrough I believe My Brain Restore™ represents. It’s not just about replacing what’s missing, it’s about activating what’s still there. That’s why I created it first for myself to be the Guinea pig, or in this case, the mouse, and I have been using it since January 2025. The improvements were significant and opened my eyes to the potential. I genuinely believe this is what’s happening with My Brain Restore™. The cells in the brain either clear the tangles or begin to replace themselves.

And now in 2026, we are shipping to countries around the world. We’re selling on Amazon. And we find that people are using it for a multitude of different neurological issues, not just the ones I have, and showing success.

In the Japanese university study, mice with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and dementia saw a 100% recovery. In my view, that means the formula didn’t just manage symptoms; it likely reactivated or repaired brain cells, similar to how Ozempic wakes up dormant pancreas cells to start producing insulin again. And if you didn’t think Ozempic came from nature, well, you’d be wrong. Just Google “Ozempic Gila monster,” you’ll find Ozempic was created from the poisonous saliva of a lizard… When researchers dissected the mice, they found something extraordinary: the actual brain structures had restored themselves. Such regeneration is unheard of in traditional medicine.

So I asked myself, ‘Why not just take what the mice took?‘ That’s what I’m doing. And that’s why I created My Brain Restore™.

From Ancient Wisdom to Modern Breakthrough

Given the long tradition of using plants, fruits, seeds, leaves, and roots for healing, I wasn’t surprised when a prestigious Japanese university published an extraordinary study on a 2,000-year-old Chinese fruit and its tiny seed. What made this research especially compelling was its unbiased nature; the Japanese researchers weren’t studying a local plant, but one from China, purely for its scientific potential.

It took an American—me—to take it further, refining and engineering the seed into a new, powerful form using a proprietary Ultra Chill Milling™ process. The result? A level of potency and quality control that surpasses the original mouse studies.

Why did I do it? Because I had nothing to lose. I already had confirmed Parkinson’s from in-utero exposure to toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune, the worst possible starting point. I had Alzheimer’s to the point of actually forgetting how to drive home one day, after having driven for 20 years down the same road. I was just too manly to press the Google Take Me Home button. But as I began to improve, I knew this couldn’t just be for me.

I waited six months of self-testing before I started the company APDI, Inc. (Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s Dementia Impaired), and made My Brain Restore™, a next-generation nutraceutical, available to others like me, people looking for hope, improvement, and a clear path forward.

In their trials, mice with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Lewy body dementia were given this seed, but made in a very nontraditional way, and 100% of them recovered. However, their attempts to provide the mice with traditional methods for using the seed from this fruit were unsuccessful. The seed is tough to get to (like inside a hard peach pit) and so small that just one 2.0 oz jar of My Brain Restore™ contains approximately 1,800 seeds, if you can even imagine it takes 1,800 fruits and then only using their tiny seed to make one jar, one 30-day supply for the Preventive version, and I take the 2x version, 3,600 seeds in 30 days. But fortunately, it’s as easy to consume as protein shake powder. However, producing it correctly was extremely labor-intensive and required me to devise entirely new methods, ensuring it maintained its utmost purity and strength.

Even more remarkably, healthy control mice that received the same milled seed showed a 20% improvement in maze performance, suggesting enhanced memory and cognitive function. That means this natural compound may not only help repair damaged neurological systems but could also protect against cognitive decline. For those genetically predisposed or exposed to environmental toxins, such as pesticides or dry-cleaning chemicals, this could represent a powerful preventive nutraceutical.

And while we’re not mice, this study changed everything for me.

The Breakthrough Was in What They Didn’t Do

The mice in the study weren’t ordinary; they were genetically engineered (transgenic) to develop serious neurological diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and dementia. Yet the results were still astounding: 100% of the mice were restored.

What ingredient is used? A fruit seed, Ziziphus. Never heard of it? Neither did I. Sometimes you can buy the fruit in an Asian market. Recently, I purchased one of the varieties at an Asian market, and each fruit was $1. It was a hybrid version created for sweetness, but it could not be used. However, you can somewhat understand the scope of this highly prized fruit. Fortunately, we have made deals with suppliers to buy the seed at much lower prices that consumers can afford. But is there really any price on getting rid of a neurological disease? Ziziphus, a Traditional Chinese Medicine that’s been consumed for over 2,000 years, but only ever as a hot tea, often boiled or fried. That was the critical mistake. Heat was destroying the active compounds. For two millennia, no one recognized its true neurological potential. It also did NOT work when they made an extract. We never buy power, as you don’t know what is in it. We derive our power from seeds milled in the USA from global sources. No one grows the seeds we need in the USA, or the cultivar (version) we need.

But in late 2024, researchers discovered that when left unheated, the fruit seed became profoundly effective for neurological diseases.

I immediately sourced it in its raw, unprocessed state. However, the challenge didn’t stop there: only one subspecies out of over 100 varieties exhibits this neurological impact, and only the seed contains the active components. Since this seed is expensive, counterfeit versions exist. That’s why we never buy ground seed; instead, we purchase raw seed and verify its authenticity, sourcing it from reputable suppliers. We also test-grow specific batches to ensure the seed is raw and able to sprout. See the picture (from our stock). It would take 3-5 years before it could produce any usable fruit.

Please note that I have only used one variety, which the mice also used. To put that in context, it’s sort of like saying if you eat a Granny Smith apple, it will cure you of something, but if you eat a yellow delicious or a Macintosh, it won’t do a thing. And believe it or not, there are 7,500 different varieties of apples, and that would mean only one that Granny Smith would help you with, that’s the analogy. This is the same situation where only one subspecies works, and that’s what’s in My Brain Restore™

What I realized was critical but straightforward: heat was the enemy. It was destroying the very compounds that gave Ziziphus its remarkable neurological potential. So I developed a completely new method, Ultra Chill Milled™, my own patentable refinement of what the mice in the university study were given.

This specialized process preserves the delicate structure of the active compounds found only in the seed of a specific Ziziphus variety, unlocking its true power for the first time in human use.

I also reformulated the product after reviewing my Alzheimer’s blood test results. The data showed that my brain wasn’t cleaning itself properly, likely due to a lack of support for reducing inflammation and clearing cellular debris. That’s why My Brain Restore™ includes Ecklonia Cava Extract, a powerful seaweed-based antioxidant known for its neuroprotective benefits. Together with Ziziphus, this forms MY BRAIN RESTORE Priority Blend™, a unique formulation designed not just to supplement the brain, but to help it begin restoring itself.

Before creating My Brain Restore™, I had tried many well-known Parkinson’s supplements, such as Ecklonia Cava Extract, Berberine, and Rhodiola Rosea. While these are potent antioxidants and beneficial for gut health, they didn’t slow my Parkinson’s disease progression on their own. The missing piece was the core ingredient now at the heart of My Brain Restore™

These supplements support cellular health, but without the foundational component to trigger the brain’s restorative process, they are insufficient. That’s why I still take them alongside My Brain Restore™, and we offer these in an optional supplement pack. You’re welcome to use your own if you prefer, but this is the exact combination that’s helped me regain control, and we’ll keep sharing updates as My Journey continues.

During this testing period, I released no product to the public. I wanted to test it on myself and see what happened. I was hoping to become one of the mice. I started with half a teaspoon of the powder, then gradually increased to 2 teaspoons a day (4 scoops). This has become the 2X version.

Update: June 1st, 2025
It’s been six months since I started taking My Brain Restore™, along with the supplement pack. Combined with My Brain Restore™, the transformation has been incredible.

I’ve gone from Stage 3 Parkinson’s, with serious falls and tremors in both hands, to Stage 1. My balance has improved. The tremors in my hand are nearly gone. And most surprising of all, my memory is better. I have never jogged or, for that matter, even gone on long walks, and at this stage, I wouldn’t even consider it. But on June 1st, 2025, I ran in the Michael J. Fox Marathon outside Washington, D.C., and I proved what I couldn’t do before.

Like the mice in the Japanese university study, it’s clearly working. Yes, I’m human, and healing will take longer than it does in lab mice, maybe 8 months to a year, but this is real progress. I expect that with another six months to a year, I’ll improve even more. As my banker said, “Even a 10% improvement would be life-changing.” He is right. However, like Ozempic, I believe that if I stop taking it once I get better, the symptoms will likely return, which is why we offer a subscription program. Not only is it less expensive, but we’re all likely to need it for as long as we want to avoid neurological issues from returning.

My neurologist already confirmed that my tremors had diminished, and I knew I wasn’t falling or tripping anymore. I look forward to sharing the results with you as I move forward. And even more, I look forward to hearing your stories. Please email us or leave a review. We’re in this together. I already have people ordering, and some of them are Doctors …yes, doctors!

I’m not claiming a cure. I’m saying this: I got better. And now, I’m offering this to others who are fighting the same battles. This is personal. I use this product every day. I built it to save my own life, and now I hope it can help others.

UPDATE November 2025, now I’m testing the 4X version (same thing but a higher amount per day, nine scoops or 4.5 teaspoons. I will redo my test next year to see what the changes are so that I can get in the green zone on the Amaylod beta test? Syn-one better?

Sunday June 1, 2025. On stage alongside fellow Parkinson’s warriors, Mark and others were cheered on by a crowd of supporters.
