Reversing Alzheimer's: New Research Improves Cognition & Protects Brain Health | Dr.Heather Sandison

I read Dr. Sandison's book, "Reversing Alzheimer's". In her book, she talks about keto diet, healthy (mold free) house, social interaction, and physical exercise. In the current medical recommendation for dementia patients, the primary missing piece is the physical exercise. People at any age need to keep healthy functional muscle mass. Not having healthy functional muscles lead us to less mobility or bed-ridden or chair-ridden lifestyle which also lead to less blood flow to our brain. Assisted-living facilities need to incorporating strength training and cardio exercises, not just jigsaw puzzles.

I noticed a difference in myself once I started being around people again. Socialization helps me

I am 67, have a brain FULL of Amyloid plaque of the highest intensity but my cognitive test score is 29/30. My metabolic health is generally good, I am not on any pills , I eat well and exercise. I have been very worried that my brain cognitive function will get worse as I age. This finding gives me hope. Thank you.

A friend of mine was a naturopath/herbalist who had a sucessful career. He radiated light, eyes sparkled. At sixty eight he was diagnosed with a brain tumour and died within months....I live healthy, meditate, walk and jog daily take no medication am seventy eight, but know that it doesn't guarantee anything....life has it's own plans.

Ozone treatments have helped a friend of mine! As a nurse I’d never heard of it. It’s been fascinating to watch her receive these treatments and get better. Ozone is O3 so super oxygenated blood. They draw out blood and infuse it with ozone then reinfuse. She’s gotten better with each one and has done four treatments. One must be sent to a naturopath to get this. Her physician didn’t know how to help her so she sent her to a naturopath. I think we need to rethink modern medicine. It’s so good in so many ways and not good enough in others.

My mother had early onset. Dementia, caused me to leave school and work to care for her. My father is type two diabetes probably was the cause of his depression and also possibly dementia. I became a certified health and life coach, despite my years in a completely different field. And I have learned so much from people like you, as well as the good Dr. Sandison. Thank you both for your work!

I'm sick and tired of medical professionals going along with, excusing, and even being apologists for the co-opted, corrupt, and lying industry that they're in. Pharmacological FIRST is the worst model, and the fact that such a majority of doctors can't intuitively understand how ass backwards this is MORE than just "disappointing".

Read Dr Bredesen's book in 2017, gifted it multiple times. One of my all time favorite books. Started the RECODE protocal then and never looked back. Made some tweaks here and there. I did it strictly as a preventative measure with no regrets. I support your sentiments about a Nobel prize. I liked the fact that he started in research, went back to medical school and then back to research. He has been right about the single drug approach. Thank you both.

my mother reversed her Alzheimers but with no ketogenic diet, very restricted sugar though, exercise, TM , yoga, Chinese traditional medicine and ayurvedic herbals

I can confirm that doctor Bredesen protocol works: my mother has Alzheimer’s and she very signinficantly improved two years ago when she was about to be checked in to a care facility because she was loosing touch with reality on siginificant level. With the protocol she improved so much that until today she is living on her own in a different city. The only thing that couldn’t be eradicated is the paranoia that affected her cognition for many years before. It still is a major problem…

In other words, if you don’t have a family member who is medically and naturopathic savvy and has endless free time to dedicate to you and your diet, health, activities, etc., and you have already progressed to the point of not being able to process the mountains of instructions, information and do’s and dont’s, you are going to go the way of most ppl with dementia. After listening, its very clear that this multiple approach to treatment will not be unattainable for the vast majority of ppl. I think it must have more to do with genetics than anything else. My mom, her father, sister, and 5 brothers all had Alzheimer’s. All had good caretakers, love, family interaction, regular meals, and activity, but all eventually lost their capacity to think or ability to function, though they all lived very different lives in different areas as adults. All of them were extremely active and hardworking, rarely sick and had onset in their 70’s, except my aunt who developed severe problems in her early 60s.

Oh man after I got Covid I’ve had chronic fatigue and brain fog, my family has a long history of Alzheimer’s on both sides of the family, I’m struggling mentally and I’m only 48

Dr. Sandison has the right ideas. I am a Ph.D. Microbiologist

We definitely need more messages of hope in these times. Thanks for the uplifting podcast!

The issue everyone seems to be missing is the root cause; "Heavy metal toxic build up."

I believe there's a cure for everything. It's a matter of discovering it. Thank you to each of you for your insight!

The primary cure for Alzheiner's is removing carbohydrates from the diet exercise helps the body but the diet with low to zero carbs helps the brain with Ketone bodies. This is why Alzheimer's is also called the third type of Diabetes !

Wow indeed. Thank you so much for highlighting this doctor’s work. It was a pleasure to hear both of you.

I've followed Dr. Bredeson for several years and his research! I started taking his supplements and regained the memory I was losing! He's the best in his field by far!!!

Why does Singapore and Bulgaria have the lowest death Alzheimer's and dementia death rates in the world. What foods are they consuming. Scientists figured out that people in Bulgaria live 20 percent long because they consume naturally fermented yogurt that contains a probiotic strain naturally present in the air called Lactobacillus Bulgaricus. Could this probiotic also help delay the onset of Alzheimer's or dementia?
