Binyamin Rothstein is a successful Osteopathic physician with over three decades of experience. He ran a successful family practice in Baltimore for many years, and practiced in Israel from 2012 until early 2016. As of mid-2016 he returned to the United States and opened a new practice in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Binyamin Rothstein is the author of Brain Fog, a 2005 book about the human brain, and decreased mental capacity. “The brain...can be compromised by many factors,” he wrote. “Like a radio whose reception is full of static because certain components need to be cleaned and repaired, our brain’s function can also become ‘fuzzy’ due to such simple factors as lack of sleep or poor diet, to more complicated reasons such as allergies, hormonal imbalances, trauma and toxins.”

Alzheimer’s Dementia is clearly associated with aging. “For different reasons,” he said in a 2016 interview, “our brains tend to slow down and start forgetting things.” It is common for people over the age of seventy to experience memory loss, he wrote in Brain Fog, although they do not necessarily have Alzheimer’s Disease. But about 20 to 30 percent of people in that age group do get Alzheimer’s, and that percentage rises in older age groups. The chances of recovery, Dr. Rothstein wrote, are slim if at all.

“I want to keep you from getting it,” Dr. Rothstein says. “Between fifty and eighty percent of the people, by the time they’re eighty years old, are going to have Alzheimer’s...It’s really one of the worst epidemics we have now in the United States; maybe in the world.”

But there is hope, he says. “By following a basic approach – some of which can be complex, actually – you can really maintain brain function the rest of your life...but it takes an effort; it takes a conscious effort. It’s not going to happen all by itself.” He recommends avoiding junk food, exercising, and taking your vitamins (esp omega 3); in short, leading a healthy lifestyle.

“Don’t wait until you’re sixty, seventy or eighty years old,” Binyamin Rothstein said. “Start when you’re younger, and do things that are healthy for your brain. Keep your brain fit and functional. Because it’s not going to last if you don’t take care of it. And once you have a problem where you can’t function it’s too late; it’s a one-way street. The absolute key is prevention and for some people making conscious choices is very difficult. If you are one of those for whom making conscious choices is difficult if not impossible, get help, because not making conscious choices can have disastrous consequences.”

There is one more point, says Dr. Rothstein. “Some people are genetically predisposed to compulsive behaviors even to the point of addictions. If you think that it might apply to you, check out the website, vitabens.com.”
