Exciting news! A new book, the End of Alzheimer’s by Dale Bredesen, MD has been released recently. Over the past five years, Dr. Bredesen has developed and tested a new approach to treating Altzheimers with positive results from 200 cases they have treated, some individuals returning to work.
Dr. Bredesen, a neurologist and research scientist, noted that his approach was strongly influenced by his wife, Dr. Aida Lasheen Bredesen, who introduced him to more holistic-integrative practices. His skepticism faded over the years as he saw how her patients responded with more attention to exercise, diet, toxin elimination and other complementary approaches.
Dr. Bresesen found a number of variations of Altimeters condition with more than 35 different factors contributing to this well known condition. Factors that affect it include diet, inflammation,and chemicals we are exposed to every day
With a deep background in neurological research Dr. Bresesen was able to work through this more holistic approach finding that a bad diet or poor gut bacteria for example can affect barriers in out body.
He was also to widen his scope, to break free of the single solution approach to find a cure for the various ways that Alzheimer’s show up.
Dr. Norman Doidge is excited at the positive results published in Dr. Bresesen’s book, and the paralleling with Doidge’s process outlined in The Brain’s Way of Healing (2015).
Both excellent books to read and learn more about our amazing brains and the potential to mend from serious illnesses or conditions.
