Description

Tonight I sat down with Mark Burnett—a database programmer turned medical innovator—who shared his remarkable journey through Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and the unconventional path that helped him regain balance, memory, and daily function. Mark traced his diagnoses back to early-life exposure at Camp Lejeune, then walked us through the research that led him to a little-known plant seed and a no-heat milling process he developed to preserve its active compounds. He described improvements he and other users have experienced, his focus on the brain’s glymphatic “cleanup” system, and why he believes consistent daily use matters, whether for active symptoms or prevention. We also discussed caregiver realities, the limits of standard treatments, and the importance of tracking progress with simple weekly logs and periodic lab work. Mark talked candidly about testing, safety checks (including recent liver panels), completing a Michael J. Fox Foundation race after starting his regimen, and his goal of making the product accessible while keeping quality controls tight. If you or a loved one are navigating Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or dementia, this conversation offers a mix of cautious hope, practical tips for routine and delivery (cold foods, easy mixing), and resources to learn more, including his free eBook and ongoing updates on his site.
