Dr. Bredesen dives into the science of the research leading to ReCODE in chapters 5 & 6 of his book. Unless you really want to go deep into the basic mechanisms of neurodegeneration and the biological rationale for ReCODE,
Dr. Bredesen and his research team have identified thirty-six individual factors that contribute to the risk for Alzheimer’s. If enough (or a critical combination) of these factors exist, Alzheimer’s sets in. A prescription drug such as memantine may address one factor but leave other factors unaddressed so the progression into Alzheimer’s is not halted.

This is the final article in a series of six articles based upon the research and conclusions of Dale Bredesen, M.D. as published in his book, The End of Alzheimer’s: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline.1 The first article in the series can be found here: Maintain Your Brain –
Kidneys filter your blood, a total of about 200 quarts per day as it moves throughout your body. They remove waste products, excess water and chemicals that would be harmful to your health if they weren’t removed. Your kidneys have tiny filtering tubes called glomeruli that strain out poisonous substances.
As mentioned in our article Dealing with Anxiety and Stress, there are 2 reasons that the medical community is turning more and more away from prescription pharmaceutical remedies (drugs) and becoming more inclined to recommend natural, non-prescription remedies for stress and anxiety:
In addition to relief from stress and anxiety, scientists have studied and found that there are numerous health benefits of meditation, which the entire medical community has accepted. More and more, medical professionals are incorporating meditation along with traditional medicine to treat a variety of medical conditions. Below is a list of the top ten health benefits of meditation.
