Introduction: An 11-year-old boy tragically was killed while crossing the street in Mexico City, one of the most polluted places on earth. An autopsy then revealed the youngster’s brain resembled a 50-year old’s that was at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. This changes the theory that Alzheimer’s disease is not only not a disease of older people and introduces the newer idea that Alzheimer’s begins in people in their 40’s and even 30’s. This article, in fact, reveals that Alzheimer’s disease may actually begin in childhood. This puts hundreds of millions more people at risk.

And now, for the first time, an article was published revealing that air pollution causes Alzheimer’s disease and how our lifestyle-based, medical program may prevent this tragedy.

This groundbreaking article was published today in The Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease

It was directed by Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D., and also included other leading researchers and clinicians including:

  • Annie Fenn, M.D. Noted author of the international best seller The Brain Health Kitchen
  • Helen Lavretsky, M.D., M.S. Psychiatry Department, UCLA
  • Meghan Reddy, M.D. Psychiatry Department, UCLA
  • Christopher Walling, PsyD, MBA, C-IAYT, FABP, California Institute of Integral Studies

I’m very excited and optimistic about this article,” said Dr Dharma. “it gives hope to the millions of people at risk from air pollution and other aspects of climate stress, including climate change and global warming. This is the first time these two areas of research and practice have merged. “

The program includes:

  • A brain-healthy diet combining all the beneficial aspects of the renowned Mind diet, one rich in vegetables and fruit and low in animal fat
  • Stress control via our special, evidence-based, easy 12 minute Kirtan Kriya memory meditation
  • Physical and mental exercise including cardio and strength training
  • Restful Sleep: Sleep is critically important for optimal brain and mind function
  • Spiritual Fitness: a new discovery in medicine that combines religious practice (if there is one) with the development of various aspects of essential well-being, including purpose in life and the evolution of patience, awareness, compassion and inner peace.

The impetus for this article began in early 2025, when Dr. Dharma found a new, 600-page medical textbook with recent discoveries about air pollution and Alzheimer’s. When he saw this, he thought, “What we really need is an article that not only shares the science behind air pollution and what I call climate stress (pollution, global warming and climate change,) but also reveals a proven program to protect your brain.”

Dr. Dharma immediately reached out to the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, where he is the Prevention Editor, about writing an article that for the first time married these two critically important topics. The editor-in-chief said “Yes,” so the article was accepted before it was even written.

The article was published online on October 27th, followed by print publication in the Journal on November 25th, which coincides with Thanksgiving Day in the United States.

We are grateful to be able to do this service to humanity.
