This book is already outdated because it’s from the year 2000 I was able to get it from the library so I didn’t have to spend any money on it. I was not very impressed by the information included. From personal experience, doing everything that they recommend, doesn’t actually work. The plan for prevention involves more things of that than the kitchen sink, and even some things that are harmful and outdated, like dark organic chocolate, which is filled with lead. This hypocritical book condones people that drink red wine yet shuns people who drink fruit juice, and both of these things are very similar in composition. It also claims the diet is ketogenic, but it’s a mostly plant-based diet without enough meat proteins. I think the stories that they made up or absolute lies. I see no evidence of any truth in them or any proof. ( ) You may remember (and if you do, you may not need this book!) that on the evening news and health news circuit a few years ago, neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen made startling news about a pilot study he had conducted with ten advanced Alzheimer’s patients. He claimed unprecedented success, with improvements in all ten patients. (See Bredesen, D. E., Amos, E. C., Canick, J., Ackerley, M., Raji, C., Fiala, M., & Ahdidan, J. (2016). Reversal of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease. Aging (Albany NY), 8(6), 1250–1258. http://doi.org/10.18632/aging.100981). Of course, this article raised many eyebrows, with debunkers at the ready. Dr. Bredesen is no research lightweight. A search of PubMed shows him authoring scores of peer-reviewed research articles. On the “People’s Pharmacy,” he promised a follow-up book, and we now have it. Dr. Bredesen’s approach rejects the conventional research strategy to date. For example, he regards the signature amyloid plaques as a defense mechanism for the brain, rather than a principal cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Drugs designed to reduce this plaque as a sole strategy are doomed to failure. You can’t argue with one of his points; there is no standard therapy for Alzheimer’s that has made much of a difference. My Dad was on Aricept, for example, and I think the side effects far outweighed any delayed onset of additional symptoms- the therapeutic goal for Aricept, not cure. Dr. Bredesen regarded this initial study as pilot, but the NIH rejected his application for a large clinical trial. He reports that his novel approach of individually evaluating each patient and prescribing a custom, multimodal therapy based on blood chemistry, genetic testing, and brain scans was outside the scope of NIH funding. It probably didn’t help that much of Dr. Bredesen’s approach called for lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, and meditation as well as an herbal supplement regimen. Does this sound like a recipe for rejection by traditional Western Medicine or what? Nevertheless, the book reports that hundreds of patients have now been successfully treated. Whether you view the book as a skeptic or someone trying to desperately deal with their senior moments or both, this is a really interesting book. Even as someone with a reasonable science background, I occasionally found the book is a little difficult to digest, but mostly it is very accessible, and I highly recommend it. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:A groundbreaking plan to prevent and reverse Alzheimer??s Disease that fundamentally changes how we understand cognitive decline. Everyone knows someone who has survived cancer, but until now no one knows anyone who has survived Alzheimer's Disease. In this paradigm shifting book, Dale Bredesen, MD, offers real hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive decline. Revealing that AD is not one condition, as it is currently treated, but three, The End of Alzheimer??s outlines 36 metabolic factors (micronutrients, hormone levels, sleep) that can trigger "downsizing" in the brain. The protocol shows us how to rebalance these factors using lifestyle modifications like taking B12, eliminating gluten, or improving oral hygiene. The results are impressive. Of the first ten patients on the protocol, nine displayed significant improvement with 3-6 months; since then the protocol has yielded similar results with hundreds more. Now, The End of Alzheimer??s brings new hope to a broad audience of patients, caregivers, physicians, and treatment centers with a fascinating look inside the science and a complete step-by-step plan that fundamentally changes how we treat and even think about AD.
