Les maladies neurodégénératives sont un problème majeur de santé publique, sans traitement médicamenteux curatif. En France, l'estimation des personnes atteintes de la maladie d'Alzheimer est de plus de 900 000, épilepsie environ 600 000, Parkinson plus de 160 000, et la sclérose en plaques plus de 110 000. En Europe, on estime à plus de 4,9 millions de personnes atteintes de la maladie d'Alzheimer, épilepsie environ 2,6 millions, Parkinson 1,2 millions, sclérose en plaques plus de 540 000. Les maladies neurodégénératives sont des maladies chroniques et handicapantes, qui détruisent progressivement les cellules nerveuses (neurones) du système nerveux central; exemple: la maladie d'Alzheimer, et d'autres démences, épilepsie, Parkinson, sclérose en plaques... Les cellules nerveuses sont des composantes de base du cerveau et de la moelle épinière. Par ailleurs, il existe une interaction entre l'intestin et le cerveau; ainsi qu'avec toutes les maladies, et particulièrement les maladies neurodégénératives et psychiatriques. Puisque l'intestin héberge environ 200 millions de cellules qui communiquent avec celles du cerveau. D'où l'importance de la santé de l'intestin (côlon). Cependant, la fatalité n'existe pas malgré l'inexistence d'un traitement médicamenteux curatif. Puisque pour la prévention et la guérison des maladies neurodégénératives, la synergie des thérapies naturelles sont un réel espoir. Lisez ce livre qui va complètement changer le cours de votre existence, et constatez les résultats par vous-même !
