How to maintain a healthy brain and a good memory? How to be mentally capable and strong, thinking clearly and effectively throughout your life? How to avoid – and help people you care about – avoid cognitive (mental) decline and Alzheimer’s disease?
Where can we find the best and most complete source of information on avoiding cognitive decline (a decrease in one’s ability to think,
The first-ever study of the application of the brain health protocol now known as ReCODE took place in 2014, with the result that 9 of the 10 persons in the study were able to reverse their cognitive decline, but were able to sustain the improvement.
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.
You may just want to start by taking advantage of what be can learned from the ReCODE protocol – with or without having some lab work done – and include what works for you in your day-to-day routine.
But . .
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 –
