The End of Alzheimer's

Fülszöveg

Everyone knows someone who's survived cancer. But no one lnows anyone who's survived Alzheimer's—until now. We fear Alzheimer's as we fear no other disease for two reasons. It is the only one of the nation's ten most common causes of death for which there has been no effective treatment. And it is not only fatal: it robs its victims of their lives long before they are gone.
But Dale E. Bredesen, MD, has turned the tables, showing that Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline can not only be prevented but, in many cases, reversed. Now, in this paradigm-shifting book, he brings hope, and the first good news, to Alzheimer's patients, with a new understanding of the disease tmd a new program they can put into effect themselves.
Dr. Bredesen reveals that Alzheimer's is not one condition, as it is currendy treated, but several. They are driven by different mechanisms and typically manifest in different ways and at different ages. But all are dramatically influenced by imbalances in... Tovább

Everyone knows someone who's survived cancer. But no one lnows anyone who's survived Alzheimer's—until now. We fear Alzheimer's as we fear no other disease for two reasons. It is the only one of the nation's ten most common causes of death for which there has been no effective treatment. And it is not only fatal: it robs its victims of their lives long before they are gone.
But Dale E. Bredesen, MD, has turned the tables, showing that Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline can not only be prevented but, in many cases, reversed. Now, in this paradigm-shifting book, he brings hope, and the first good news, to Alzheimer's patients, with a new understanding of the disease tmd a new program they can put into effect themselves.
Dr. Bredesen reveals that Alzheimer's is not one condition, as it is currendy treated, but several. They are driven by different mechanisms and typically manifest in different ways and at different ages. But all are dramatically influenced by imbalances in thirty-six metabolic factors that can trigger "downsizing" in the brain. He then explains his research-based protocol, which addresses ways to rebalance these mechanisms by adjusting lifestyle factors, including micronutrients, hormone levels, stress, and sleep quality. He explores the critical role of diet in cognitive decline as well as the importance of autophagy, which involves a sh-ict overnight fast.
The results have been impressive. Of the first ten patients on the protocol, nine displayed significant improvement within three to six months; since then the protocol htis yielded similar results with hundreds more.
With wide-ranging patient stories that allow us to understand what it's like to recover when recovery is deemed impossible, and specific information that will help patients, caregivers, physicians, and treatment centers put the protocol into action, this book will fundamentally change how we treat, prevent, and even think about Alzheimer's disease.
DALE E. BREDESEN, MD,
is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. He has held faculty positions at University of California, San Francisco; UCLA; and the University of California, San Diego, and directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute in 1998 as its founding president and CEO. He is also the chief medical officer of MPI Cognition.
