First person stories of patients who recovered from Alzheimer's Disease--and how they did it. It has been said that everyone knows a cancer survivor, but no one has met an Alzheimer's survivor - until now. In his first two books, Dr. Dale Bredesen outlined the revolutionary treatments that are changing what had previously seemed like the inevitable outcome of cognitive decline and dementia. And in these moving narratives, you can hear directly from the first survivors of Alzheimer's themselves--their own amazing stories of hope told in their own words. These first person accounts honestly detail the fear, struggle, and ultimate victory of each patient's journey. They vividly describe what it is like to have Alzheimer's. They also drill down on how each of these patients made the program work for them--the challenges, the workarounds, the encouraging results that are so motivating. Dr. Bredesen includes commentary following each story to help point readers to the tips and tricks that might help them as well. Dr. Bredesen's patients have not just survived; they have thrived to rediscover fulfilling lives, rewarding relationships, and meaningful work. This book will give unprecedented hope to patients and their families.

How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words

The First Survivors of Alzheimer's

Todos sabemos de alguien que le ha ganado la batalla al cáncer, pero nadie conoce ningún sobreviviente de Alzheimer... hasta ahora. El doctor Dale E. Bredesen, experto en enfermedades neurodegenerativas reconocido internacionalmente, reúne en esta obra los resultados de más de treinta años de investigación médica de vanguardia para crear un sofisticado e innovador programa, práctico y fácil de seguir, con un objetivo sin precedentes: prevenir y revertir los devastadores efectos del Alzheimer y otras formas de inflamación cerebral. En este libro aprenderemos que el Alzheimer no es una sola enfermedad, como se considera desde el punto de vista terapéutico, sino la suma de varios trastornos altamente influenciados por desequilibrios en 36 factores metabólicos capaces de detonar "encogimiento" cerebral. Este libro explica el protocolo científico diseñado para reequilibrar esos m ecanismos por medio de ajustes al estilo de vida, incluyendo micronutrientes, niveles hormonales, estrés y calidad del sueño. Bredesen explora el papel central que desempeña la alimentación en el deterioro cognitivo, así como la importancia de la autofagia, la cual implica un estricto ayuno nocturno. Los resultados son sorprendentes: de los diez primeros pacientes atendidos con el protocolo aquí descrito, nueve mostraron una reversión significativa durante los primeros meses del tratamiento, y desde entonces son cientos los pacientes y especialistas médicos que han atestiguado la insólita mejoría. Prepárate para descubrir aquí el inicio de una nueva era: el comienzo del fin del Alzheimer. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The instant New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller. A groundbreaking plan to prevent and reverse Alzheimer's Disease that fundamentally changes how we understand cognitive decline. Everyone knows someone who has survived cancer, but until now no one knows anyone who has survived Alzheimer's Disease. In this paradigm shifting book, Dale Bredesen, MD, offers real hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive decline. Revealing that AD is not one condition, as it is currently treated, but three, The End of Alzheimer's outlines 36 metabolic factors (micronutrients, hormone levels, sleep) that can trigger "downsizing" in the brain. The protocol shows us how to rebalance these factors using lifestyle modifications like taking B12, eliminating gluten, or improving oral hygiene. The results are impressive. Of the first ten patients on the protocol, nine displayed significant improvement with 3-6 months; since then the protocol has yielded similar results with hundreds more. Now, The End of Alzheimer's brings new hope to a broad audience of patients, caregivers, physicians, and treatment centers with a fascinating look inside the science and a complete step-by-step plan that fundamentally changes how we treat and even think about AD.
