The End of Alzheimer’s: The First Programme to Prevent and Reverse the Cognitive Decline of Dementia

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.

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!

It offers good advice, but the regime it suggests and the doctor participation could only available privately, not on NHS, at massive cost. Even then, sticking to the regime is nigh-on impossible. But a very good read. I have increased some of my supplements accordingly, seeing my Mum deteriorating and fearing for my own health future. It also highlight some of the current wowfully inadequate "best practise" that is available today. Well worth a read. Would you stick to the regime - doubt it.

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!

I think in years to come people will look back on this book as pivotal in turning the tide against Alzheimer's. As well as documenting practical approaches to reversing Alzheimer's (and in so doing give hope to the millions who are already afflicted or who are genetically predisposed to the disease) Dr Bredesen explains how underlying physiological pathways converge to increase the risk of getting the disease. Dr Bredesen intersperses his narrative with testimonials of patients who have successfully reversed this truly awful soul-destroying disease. It is evident that Dr Bredesen has faced huge obstacles in extending the reach of his programme to reverse Alzheimer's however he has been resolute in his determination to conduct further trials and to spread the message of hope that his programme, ReCODE offers to many millions of sufferers and their loved ones. I remain convinced that Dr Bredesen's 21st Century 'programmatic' medical approach will ultimately gain world-wide acceptance not just for Alzheimer's but for other modern chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. I'd like to say thank you to Dr Bredesen and his team for their research over the past three decades because for people like me who face the horrific prospect of Alzheimer's I now have hope and a means to avoid it and live a healthier lifestyle as I age.

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.

There seems to be no end to the awful disease .

I've been following the brilliant Dr Dale Bredesen for about 2 years now and could not wait for this book to come out. Having REVERSED Alzheimers in patients, this is the first, real, concrete hope/proof that the treatment for Alzheimers is not one pill invented by a big pharma giant (that may never happen) but a comprehensive health, wellbeing and nutrition plan instead. Please buy this book if you're concerned for yourself, anyone else or you work in the health or wellbeing field. It should be mandatory reading. Dr Bredesen is way ahead of the curve and this book is a big beacon of light in a dark, often negative, hopeless landscape of dementia and worse, Alzheimer's specifically. It's also well written and I found it such an informative, inspiring and enjoyable (despite the topic) read. Highly recommended!!! A must buy.
