Title: The End of Alzheimer's Pdf The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline
The instant New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller
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.
Amazing book that provides true hope and the tested methods to make real changes. I CAN change my future! My mother, and roommate, has frontal lobe dementia and, they believe, Alzheimers. Watching her decline has been heart wrenching, and I'm constantly trying to find ways to make her life better. I worry not only about Mom, but about myself. I believe that I am on the same path.I first heard of the Bredesen Protocal last winter, when Maria Shriver discussed it on the Today Show. I quickly researched it as much as possible, but info was limited. I had a feeling a book was forthcoming, so I anxiously awaited it's release. I was worried The End of Alzheimer's would contain too much technical information that I might not be able to understand. I was very happy to see that it was written in a casual format that intentionally makes it easier for the rest of us. The details are clear, the tone is casual, and it's easy to follow.As I read through this book, I was surprised by how many points were familiar to me. That's me! I do that! Oh heck! It was as enlightening as it was scary. Living with Mom, I also live in fear because I know I'm on the same path she struggles down every day. That's my future.On page 97, Bredesen says "How to give yourself Alzheimer's. Live your life in a way that keeps your brain supplied with as many as possible of the 36 factors that influence whether APP gets cut into the destructive quartet or the beneficial duo. How to prevent it. Live your life in a way that minimizes the number of the 36 inducing factors in your brain." Those 36 factors are clearly laid out and I believe they are not difficult to control.Several years ago, I struggled with brain fog and often had difficulty remembering numbers for even a couple of minutes. I also was overweight and had heart problems. I reached a point where I thought I would die, so I wrote my will and made plans for my dogs after I was gone. Then I said enough was enough, and I dramatically changed my lifestyle. I cut out processed foods, ate lots and LOTS of vegetables and fresh fruits, especially leafy greens and berries. I ate wild caught fish, but no other animal products. My diet was low in grains. I used the USDA Super Tracker to make sure that my diet exceeded the RDA for every nutrient they tracked. There's a lot more to it, but I was eating all the time and I exercised every single day. Within a few weeks, I had much more energy. Within a few months, my brain was on FIRE! But then...I started a new job and everything about my lifestyle and schedule changed. Long story short, I fell back into old habits, abandoned my perfect diet and exercise program, and gradually regained weight. I also started losing clarity and life became more difficult. I recognize that. And I know that I alone can change that.I'm so very glad to have read the Bredesen Protocol because I know now, more than ever, the importance of getting back on track. I am making a serious effort to change my future. I believe this book can help. I have already marked my calendar and plan to follow up on this review in 3 months and again in six months. Mom may be too far along, I don't know, but it's worth trying for both of us. Dr. Bredesen states in the book that his protocol may not work for frontal lobe and other types of dementias. It has only been tested on Alzheimers. I feel that it's still very important to heed his advice, as Alzheimers often doesn't get a definite diagnosis until after death.A lot of good information, but not an end-all cure for Alzheimer's This book has just been published, and I received the Kindle version tonight. Since my 97 year old mother with Alzheimer's and aphasia moved in with us 5 years ago, I have spent many hours almost every night researching the disease and trying to find a way to help her. During the 5 years my mother has been with us, we had a lot of ups and downs. The downs were caused by problems, like Shingles in her eye, that were not in our control. When she came to live with us, she was very much overweight (4' 10" at 185 lbs.), was totally incontinent, was on 10 drugs for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc, couldn't read or write, and couldn't walk on her own. Within 9 months, she was taking a natural supplement for thyroid and all other prescription drugs had been eliminated. She became totally continent and was walking to go to the bathroom on her own. She started reading flash cards that we got for her and started writing. Her weight loss was gradual, but, now, 5 years later, she weighs about 115 lbs. and has gone from a size 2X to size 6. When we had her last blood work done, the doctor told us that she had the blood work of a 20 year old, and she was perfectly healthy. Unfortunately, her mental capacity has been reduced in the last 5 years. So, I had hopes that this book would offer something I hadn't already found in my extensive research that would help me to help her.First of all, this book suggests extensive testing that most doctors won't do on a regular basis in order to find out levels of components in the blood that help to determine possible supplements or dietary changes that may help. Most of this I already know, but it would be helpful for someone that has not had time to do the research. Basic physical exams generally don't include the necessary tests, and you often have to request that specific test should be done. For example, the test for thyroid is usually only the test for TSH which is produced by the pituitary gland, but this is a result of the T3 and T4 that stimulates the thyroid hormone (TSH). TSH is produced by the pituitary gland in response to the T3 and T4. So measurement of the TSH does not give an accurate measure of the function of the thyroid.Other than extensive blood testing, this book suggests dietary changes. Many of the dietary suggestions I completely agree with, but some I do not. The author does mention the importance of eating meat, chicken, and eggs only from grass fed and grass finished animals, and consuming only wild-caught fish that are not harvested as large fish because of the risk of contaminants. He also mentions avoiding GMO foods and processed foods. For my family, all of this is a way of life. Although this has helped my mother to improve in the past, it definitely has not reversed her Alzheimer's.One area that I do not at all agree with Dr. Bredesen on is the avoidance of gluten. I think this subject needs some expansion and an explanation of modern day store bread. Whole grains have been consumed for centuries with no adverse affects of gluten. The problem come in with the modern day processing of the grains. Gluten is a part of grains that must be developed in order for it to be digestible. This requires a long fermentation process to release the nutrients of the grain. The long fermentation releases the phytase in the grain that destroys the phytates. This is true for any seed type food such as rice, beans, etc. For breads, long fermentation greatly reduces the requirement for yeast and the addition of vital wheat gluten. Modern store bread making requires a large quantity of bread to be made in a short time. Instead of developing the gluten with a fermentation of 18-24 hours, bread can be made much faster by adding 4 times the yeast and vital wheat gluten. This makes a nice fluffy loaf that you can roll into a ball of paste that would stick to a wall, but it's not anything your body can digest or use. So, I don't believe that gluten is the problem, but more so the processing of the grains that make the flour. In addition, most store breads are made from flours that have been stripped of every nutrient in the grains. I, personally, make all of our bread and mill the flour from whole grains.This book does give some guidelines for supplements that might be helpful, but you need to know what deficiencies you are dealing with, and this gets back to blood work that your doctor will do. If you don't know about deficiencies, using supplements is guesswork and can do more harm than good. This book does supply some good ground work for someone that hasn't had time to do the research, but it definitely does no supply an end-all cure for Alzheimer's.UPDATE 09/13/18:I wrote my initial review of this book a little over a year ago, and have come to the conclusion, that dementia, a form of Alzheimer's can definitely be slowed down, but I don't think it can be cured at this point. Diet is definitely a key point and some supplements are helpful. In the last year, my mother has lost more of her mobility, but we still try to make her walk as much as we can. So often, difficulty in walking causes caretakers to resort to a wheelchair, but doing this results in taking away a capability that should be encouraged. Without some exercise, the possibility of blood clots increases and muscles atrophy. Caretaking is definitely not easy for anyone doing it, but the easiest route of care is not often the best for the patient. My Mom is now 98 and had lost some physical capabilities, but we still encourage her to try. We know that taking the easier methods for us will be detrimental for her. Diet is very important in slowing dementia, but physical and mental support is just as important.
