Fascinating
A fascinating book, it gives sufficient information for a sympathetic doctor to use the protocol but to do it properly most people already experiencing cognitive impairment would need a lot of support and to do the protocol to the letter in conjunction with Dr Bredesen's organisation could start to get costly - though ultimately cheaper than the care required for someone with Alzheimer's.Hopefully this treatment can be proven and become routine - the main downside appears to be trying to put significant lifestyle changes in place for someone who is probably older, set in their ways and possibly confused. The book also suggests putting the protocol in place to prevent Alzheimer's particularly if you are at high risk, again to do it properly would require support of a medical professional but there are steps anyone can take now to help minimise risk.It's an easy read, mostly easy to understand by the layman - he does suggest skipping some of the more detailed medical stuff if you're not interested in that.

a tough read, but a lot of it makes sense
I’m not sure how well validated this content is, but I’m sure that if you need it then you’re willing to try it.Thankfully I’m thinking about prevention, and from that perspective it’s not an easy protocol to follow on a just in case basis, in particular because it doesn’t seem to have wide spread support. In fact I’d say it’s quite hard.More than anything I hope that I never have to come back to this book but, if you’re reading this because you need it, then I can only wish good luck with your treatment and Godspeed. And I hope it works for you, I truly do.

This book changes everything we thought we knew about Alzheimers
An absolutely incredible book, De Bredesen shares his extensive gound breaking research into the causes and cure for over 95% of Alzhiemers disease. He has excamples of people he has treated, provides the knowledge behind what is going on in our brains 20 plus years before any symptoms and once symptoms have started, he has identified there are 3 quite separate types of Alzheimers, the causes and treatments varying although they can overlap, but best of all he provides an easy to use check list of where your brain is at the moment, (Cognoscopy), which shows where you have issues, then he gives details of his ReCODE - reverese cognitive decline - programme, which is personalised to you the reader. It can include diet, vitamins and exercise, but not like a lose-weight type diet, a diet somewhat like keto. And it all makes sense. If you are Apoe4, or a family member is, I would highly recommend this book, it could save you from Alzheimers!

Good stuff in here, but "the end"? Really?
Genuinely interesting and valuable stuff in here. Some good explanations and some excellent advice.However.His recommendations are extremely expensive involving a lot of tests and a lot of supplements. Clearly, being expensive doesn't mean they are wrong, but all that supplementation seems dubious. And perhaps there is a reason (other than the those Dr Bredesen puts forward) that the rest of the medical profession hasn't bought into all this stuff.Dale Bredesen seems to sell the most books because he makes the biggest promises. Gary Small, author of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program seems to make more realistic claims and gets hammered on the sales front accordingly. Dr Small advises that you can significantly increase the age of onset and you can reduce the speed of progression and that sounds more realistic.Anyway you can check out the Brain Health Scotland website for the TL:DR. Simple, actionable, good adive.

Sceptics read this and try some of the regime for yourself!
Having found this programme in the summer of 2016, hot on the heels of my husband's diagnosis of young alzheimer's disease (verified by PET scan), we began the programme with an "everything to gain and nothing to lose" attitude. Dr Rangan Chatterjee's endorsement was crucial to this decision. Result? A phenomenal improvement in everyone's mental and physical health, not just my husbands (eg special needs son has dropped nearly 4 stone in weight on the low gl diet) and yes - his cognitive function has been and is improving all the time. He wouldn't get past the screening tests now for an early diagnosis of the disease. We now have the confidence to plan a future together, not just a funeral - which is what we were told to do by the local NHS memory clinic :)

"No one should ever die from Alzheimer's"
This is a very readable book about an extraordinarily complex subject. Dr Daly Bredesen has, through very thorough research as a scientist and since then a Medical doctor, discovered the causes of Alzheimer's, the different types of Alzheimer's, and why some people are far more likely to succumb to the disease than others. Following the thorough research he has identified 36 different treatments that actually stop and even reverse the disease. The treatment will depend on which type of Alzheimer's the sufferer has. In his book Dr Bredesen provides case histories af patients who have had to give up successful and professional careers because of the illness, but after treatment have resumed their careers.Sadly the complexity means it would be very difficult for a non medical person to easily carry out the tests and necessary procedures to achieve what Dr Bredesen. But what is really tragic is that despite his successes his work is not better know. In the UK no one I have spoken to has heard of his work - and of course all the drug companies research is based on finding a quick fix one off pill. However he does provide a number of summaries in appendices which attempts to provide a simplified approach to diet and some other ways to at least reduce the likelihood of suffering the disease.Thoroughly recommended without restraint!
