Reversing Alzheimer's, Cognitive Decline, and Neurodegenerative Disease

"The biggest area of biomedical failure is neurodegenerative disease and cognitive decline," Dr. Dale Bredesen, MD, explains. Throughout this presentation in our Lecture Series, he presents a personalized, multi-faceted, research-based approach to treating neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's. We all look forward to having a greater impact on these terrible diseases.

I was sitting next to my wife’s grandma who has Alzheimer’s. She was fairly alert and responsive to our conversations. My mother-in-law gave her a Pepsi to drink and by the time grandma finished about a quarter of the drink, she became completely unresponsive and sat quietly with no expression on her face.
I observed this but no one else did and I didn’t dare say anything because they wouldn’t have been agreeable to my observation. I still believe her condition could have been improved or even reversed with proper diet.

Finally a doctor that recognizes a diagnosis is not enough. Why not diagnosis and actually treat the underlying causes with a new approach. Awesome video

I think emotional stress / bad memories is a major contributing factor apart from the hereditary genes.

It’s hard missing someone who is alive and watching them slip away
I am there now
Happy for these families
I pray we all can access this sort of care for our loved ones

[denisehadfield]

You want people to go to their doctors early. The great problem is many doctors just don’t care full stop……. They treat a symptom, they don’t ask why or what or how they must reach for a prescription pad. Doctors with 10 minute appointments, not a lot can be shared and spoken about in 10 minutes, then they say, see you ..bye…..

Thank you Dr. Bredesen, for all your efforts explaining what we need to understand to better take care of ourselves.
I understand a lot of what you say, but my problem is getting my loved ones to even recognize the importance of been able to differentiate between food vs. ultra processed “food”
I won’t give up on my efforts either.

I am so heartbroken because my sister who 72 years of age was diagnosed with early stages of dementia. I’ve noticed changes in her behavior—things that I’ve never seen before and it breaks my heart. She was discharged from the hospital last week Thursday and I bought her home with me. It has been a real challenge and it’s very hard for me because I have physical challenges myself. I have another sister at home living with me and we realize that it’s going to be hard trying to take care of her. I’ve been stressed with dealing with handling many, many issues in the family because everyone depends upon me—so I’m carrying everyone and that’s not good. My sister who is diagnosed with dementia also is a diabetic, has high cholesterol and high blood pressure. She had a mild stroke 5 years ago and I’m wondering if this has anything to do with the dementia diagnosis.

Okay I'm no expert but this sounds like the result of sedentary indoor living, the release of toxins in our environment and eating processed foods. Plus we're living longer than ever before and refusing to learn new things. Cheers on your progress toward developing therapies.

Take care of your liver! Bile salts, vit. D3, milk thistle, and intermittent fasting 18 hrs!

Outstanding, I’m so pleased that I’ve been doing my own research for my horrible decline and your video followed my vary similar experience. I am winning in memory and executive function (I believe that the right word) ps, I’ve been low carb for 3 years and feel younger now then when I stared low carb, I also ride a electric Unicycle for transportation so at 75 I’m pretty ‘well balanced’.

So my Mom was a nurse until she was 68----she was also a mom of 4, always active and slim. My parents raised all our food organically Our own meat, eggs, milk and a huge vegetable garden that was canned or frozen We had very little sugar even in desserts because they were depression era and WWII era, raised poor and still chose to use it sparingly when they could finally afford it. No pop or junk food in our home. She preferred to be outdoors to indoors even in winter cold. After retirement they traveled, belonged to clubs and visited relatives so they were staying busy and interacting. However, we noticed Mom had problems a year before she retired, just little not her normal self things. By 76 we knew she had Alzheimers and the loss of my Dad made it worse. She got steadily worse but slowly so that she lived to be 92 and the last two years were pure hell. We can not figure anything that would have sent her on this path except genetics. Her Dad, her Dad's sister (Aunt), her Aunt's son and others on that side of the family all had it and passed from it.

So true that patients wait or don't go in for help. No reason to. I knew ONE doc who was actually interested in my mom, and actually asked questions and did a little research. I never see that. As if he believed he still had more to learn. That's a great feeling. Better than going in and having a doc laugh at something you heard on TV...why? They only look at studies, but even in studies, there are so many variables and factors.

[Nora]

I am on a low carb/moderate keto less than 50g/day. I am doing great and my prediabetes problem is resolved. I learned a lot about nutrition after the diagnoses. I been doing it in moderation all my life, but that was not enough for me. I am an RN an my nutrition knowledge was wrong.

Thank you for this sharing this information and reminding all who have been impacted that we’re not powerless. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[tslilbearshoppe]

there's no money in the cure. They give up on these people. I know a person that is only 58 and she has it and they basically told the husband to get her affairs in order. Never told them about foods, exercise or any other issues to clear up or prevent. They are on their own and it is so sad, she's the mother of 4 it is devastating this family. It is criminal to not help people with bad diseases.

[Lenzer]

MCT can help greatly, there is alot of research on it

[marysmith]

I agree 100%%%% what he said about trying things that are not necessarily conventional or "on trend". Whenever they do that, I think that they are letting $$$ dictate the treatment.

[Rene-uzeb]

7:30 the whole come in early better survival chances is a statistics/over diagnosis game (the fact that a disease progressed more means you were in that lower percentage of people where it does progress), until you actually prove you can heal something. The difference is if you can heal it you can heal it at any stage. Yes there might be permanent damage, but it would still be healed, like long term vitamin deficiencies can cause permanent nerve damage, but that’s really late stage then.

13:24 given amyloid binds to copper, not surprisingly it also binds to iron

THANK YOU DOCTOR, FOR CARING…TAKING TIME TO EXPLAIN 💖🍃
