My uncle Dale! He has been working on neurodegenerative diseases since I was a child. I'm almost 40. It's so great to see the results finally starting to come to fruition! I'm proud of my Uncle! He is an awesome person.
Having watched both my parents go down this dark road I thank God for your uncle and the work he is doing. May God bless him and guide him on his journey.
As a Functional Medicine practitioner using his protocols I can speak to the effectiveness of his approach. I work with a group of about 50 other doctors and collectively we are seeing a success rate of over 90 percent. Success being defined by cognitive decline/dementia/early Alzheimer's patients arresting their decline and regaining cognitive function. These gains are measured objectively as well. To date there are thousands who have been helped by what Dr. Bredesen has discovered.
Mark Shane I am in the Pittsburgh Pa area. My father has been placed in a personal care home. He knows of his own cognitive decline and will tell you himself that he can’t reason things through or that his brain is shrinking. I keep reading about things like folate and CoQ 10 and huperzine A and NAC ALCAR, Ginko, PS Alpha Lipoic Acid etc. oh yes......Fisetin. Are these things helpful and why doesn’t anyone know of these things ? They just want to put him away because my mother can’t care for him. It is 24/7. Cleveland clinic is close and has the first functional medicine facility from Mark Hyman. What to do?
@@deno77joe All of those supplements should be a big help. Don't forget about a high quality Omega 3 with a focus on higher levels of DHA. Personally, I like Nordic Naturals & Carlsons for Omega 3. Best wishes for your father and you!
I almost cry with tears watching this presentation. Thank you very much Doctor Bredesen for giving me hope to cure this disease. It's really painful to see mom change so much because of this disease to the point where she becomes so delusional, rude, and hostile to her closed one and caregivers. Feels like her old self is gone and you can't even recognize her anymore.
Wow. Lost my dad in his 70's . Developed his disease at 71. Horrible last few years he had. I absolutely don't want to go through what he went through. Someone needs to throw money at Dr.Brederson.
Thank you! More than a year ago my My Aunt was a helpless person requiring 24 hours of help, she had been on Lipitor for years. Luckily I found a Dr. for her that practiced Bredesen Protocol ! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for giving me hope! My father has this awful disease, and his grandmother did as well. It truly is a disease that affects the family as a whole. I pray this is widely available soon!
Keith--not at all an "undisclosed protocol"--it is published in open access, freely available, as well as described in a book from Avery/Random House, The End of Alzheimer's.
dr do you have a blog or regularly updated social media site would love to get your thoughts on things and what your doing in the feild, your patients, any updates to the protocol and generally any thoughts on alzheimers i also wish there were more practitioners offering recode here in the UK
Alzheimer's is a short circuit of the nerves due to the myelin sheath depleting over time. Rebuild myelin with 'good' cholesterol. Plant based or animal. Hemp oil. Seeds. Some nuts. Oils cold-pressed (NEVER HEATED / NEVER FRIED). Alzheimer's is also partly a Selinium and vitamine E deficiency. You can rebuild mylin like you can rebuild cartillage ..so long as blood can still flow to the area..
people complain about having to change, to adopt a discipline, saying "its so hard". What about living the rest of your life in decline with increasing chronic illness and a constant churning thru medical appointments, test, and treatments instead of attending concerts and enjoying holidays with family and playing board games with friends and starting a new hobby??? Now that's what I call hard!
@@judymiller5154 I told a friend about this book and her answer I won't give up ice cream. Me, it is toast. Literally, I gave up wheat, alcohol and sugar.
@@keekeemyfirstcat8410 so kind of you to share with your friend, but she has every right to choose her own path, as do you. If you are perfectly happy now and with your future prospects, don't listen to me. For me, no taste, texture, or momentary food pleasure is worth one more day in chronic illness, if I can help it. I'm 78 and very active and free of pain ( and sugars, grains, alcohol, seed oils etc). May God bless you with excellent health ❤️🙏❤️
My father in law has Alzheimer's. I was searching all over the internet in the hope of finding something....when I came across the books of Dr. Dale. I ordered three of his books from Amazon... received two of them currently & currently reading the first one...The end of Alzheimer's...& I came to know about so many things from it & I am filled with hope that maybe there is a chance that my father in law can be saved..
how is the old farmer edward doing on the book, i just found it and I am on page 10🤣🤣 but its readable and can clearly understand. from Kenya in africa
Thank You Dr. Bredesen! I keep promoting you! Love the talk! The Master switch APP slide is up on my wall. It helps to have simplicity and slower discussion, especially when talking with others who are very new to all these concepts! I get a little overexcited at all the great things to do and attack! I am 55 and in preventive mode with a double 4 that popped up out of nowhere. (careful what you wish for on your genetic testing!) Gives great hope, focus and plan to drive a daily care plan. Keep up the good fight and educate all your MD peers!! We are kinda in a conservative wasteland up here in the NorthEast!
Great video and presentation. For me as a patient with ME/CFS it's a reminder that what's good for the brain is also good for the body, and vice versa. Way too much money and time is spent in medicine on Allopathic cures. Many of the complex auto immune disorders can be properly addressed within the confines of a medical paradigm similar to this. It's never just "one thing". Unfortunately so many resources are going down the amyloid rabbit hole. Thank you Dr Bredesen for your work and sharing of this information.
As someone with both high risk of AD and a background in public health I don't doubt the essential truth of what Bredesen asserts here. However, given the fractured state of the US health system, how many will be able to access the multiple tests and protocols described in this presentation?
TEDx has many videos with million views. How come this video of the author of the best selling book "The End of Alzheimer's" is only 56K after one year published as there is million peoples are suffering with Alzheimer's in US alone.. 😞
Discourged minds imo.Have a friend who is suffering Alzheimer..The short term satisfaction brought on by icecream, brownies and snacks..lift her mood up for short times and she does not want to give it up..I think she uses them as a lifeline..It is incredibly sad to watch..And even more saddening is how her family is accomodating this because they feel powerless..like parents who can not not deal with screaming toddlers and give in to their demands by giving them the sugars..pizza's etc all the comfort foods
I read this book a couple years ago very fascinating prognosis and diagnosis amazing then to sum it all up the solution is very disheartening in my world there would not be enough time in the day to take all the supplements I'd have to quit my job but somehow have to get the income of three jobs to finance it all Anyway best of luck everyone ☘️☘️☘️
Recap, App is sensor.Growth or protection & retreat.Amyloid is protective. More than 10 switches for production of amyloid .Every switch is treat able.Perfect treatment is personalized precision program not one drug. What is ? Why ? How?We can reverse Alzheimer’s,Treat the cause.very. Hopeful & optimistic. Thank you.

he laid some pretty important groundwork on concepts not even being discussed. the mechanisms for each point can be worked back and you need to determine which subtype(s) you are. The not eating processed food is a pretty Universal critical concept.
@@K8flan007 I am often amazed how incredibly good humans can be at explaining how something can go wrong, in remarkable detail, while being completely oblivious to the cause.
Oh, this is a 10-minute clip, my mom is a dietitian, and he is her brother, and he tells me not to eat processed food every time we talk, lol. So does she!
Dr Bredesen please help Steve Thompson 43 yr old England Rugby player who's been diagnosed with Dementia. He can be reached through BBC TV. I've in comments put him in contact with you on You Tube, your books & protocol. Collecting my copy of "End of Alheimers" tomorrow. I told him you have Survivors & Dementia is NOT FATAL. Please help. Sounds like he's going the one Silver Bullet route.
I WAS TREATED WITH DIET FOR A MISDIAGNOSED SITUATION FROM A DOCTOR THAT SAID THIS AND I ALMOST DIED I HAD A SUPERBUG AND THE DOCTOR COMPLETELY OVERLOOKED IT FOCUSING ON DIET AND I ALMOST DIED BE CAREFULL NOT EVERYTHING IS SOLVED BY CERTAIN FOODS MAKE SURE THE DOCTOR IS LOOKING AT EVERYTHING AND NOT JUST OBSESSED WITH TREATING EVERYTHING WITH FOOD. I AGREE FOOD IS VERY IMPORTANT BUT I WAS OVERLOOKED BECAUSE THE DOCTOR WAS TOO FOOD FOCUSED REGARDING MY SYMPTOMS. GET A SMART DOCTOR THAT LOOKS AND CONSIDERS EVERYTHING
@@aydenlessels5550 do your research mct oil which is in coc. oil cures alzheimers and restores brain function...its medicine...again do your research this has been studied for years! good luck:)

He has some good interviews on youtube that are probably even better than this talk.The one with Mark Hyman is pretty good (and he's more relaxed in it too!)
I don't get it. There are people that live to be 100 yrs old and never took one vitamin in their life or gone to the doctor and did not get dementia. I guess everyone is different
I believe lack of sleep has ALot to do with it. My mother was active All way to her early 80’s Always watched what she ate. She Still developed Alzheimer’s. My mother did Not sleep well
As a carer for someone with Dementia, i learned nothing from this video. What are you trying to sell? A book? Medicine? An exercise regime? A dietary regime? A lifestyle recommendation?
ThisUserName15Taken - thank you for your reply. I apologise for being so negative. I think my frustrations come from the fact that there is no cure for people with advanced stage dementia. Yes, we can talk about prevention through having a mentally stimulating career/occupation/hobby, taking plenty of exercise, eating healthily etc, but for people with Alzheimer’s disease / dementia, the hardest part is trying to encourage them to exercise, eat healthily, when it is outside of their comfort zone.
@@stevehutch But that's not an excuse for 'giving up' on them. Even if it only helps them to dress themselves in the morning and improves their Activities of Daily Living, which might help them avoid the need for Institutional care...It has to be worth trying....
@@grahamedwards6824 believe me when i say that I have tried , and will continue to try every one of these ‘cures’. Seated exercises, healthy MIND diet, lion’s mane, cod liver oil capsules, activites, mental puzzles, no alcohol, stress free environment, ‘contented dementia’. I feel as if i have sacrificed my life to find a cure.
@@stevehutch in another podcast with Dr. David Perlmutter he discusses reversing ALZ/stopping the acceleration of ALZ. I’m a child of an ALZ parent who was also a carer. It’s not a simple fix but improving health & gut microbiohome is a start. It’s more info than I had 10-15 yrs ago.
I share your frustration. There is nothing concrete that he ever says that you can definitively process as an actionable treatment to reverse dementia and I’ve listened to him drone on for hours in videos. Everything he suggests is common sense and largely ineffective. Exercise, reduced carb intake, Keto diet, plenty of sleep, Lion’s Mane, Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Coconut Oil, MCT, Infrared light, etc. My mom does it all and none of it has worked.
If there was a way to help improve a dementia patients condition would you try it? Please take an eyebrow tweezers and remove the hair and/or hair follicles from the hands and feet. The treatment is easy and the results will be immediate. This also works on Alzheimer's.
@@wordsleuth992 Use an eyebrow tweezers on the patient's hands and feet to remove the hair there and that will bring them out of the comma like condition of dementia or Alzheimers illness. It is safe and sound. If they have thin or no hair then try other areas of the body like eyebrows.
Maybe I'm cynical, but if this approach really worked, I feel like we'd be seeing major publications in medical or public health journals -- trumpeting this guys successes. Please prove me wrong, but this looks like a way for a guy to make money rather than a proven scientific cure for a tragic disease.
There isn’t much money to be made from a diet and supplements though. There is no money in cures. And I’m not saying this is the cure, but it seems to be a lot more effective than the drugs out there used to “treat it.”
He has published papers on it. Now it's my turn to be cynical: there is not much money in treating people with lifestyle changes and a bunch of supplements that cannot be patented. There is, however, a lot of money in coming up with single-pill "cures" that are supposed to fix years of neglect, lack of physical activity and a diet littered with junk foods. By the way, I wonder if the use of many drugs doesn't do more harm than good because it absolves people from making real changes to fix the first cause of their disease. For example, someone taking a ton of meds for heart disease, but not dealing with his obesity. Yes, he knows he should, but because he takes his meds, he sees it as optional. In reality, it should be the other way around: first a diet, then meds as an option. I seriously think that we would see better outcomes if lifestyle changes were REQUIRED for meds to be prescribed. No weight loss, no meds. I'm aware of the ethical issues it creates and I'm not sure if I would support it, but it's good to think about, even if only as a thought experiment.
Feels like a promotional infomercial, not a Ted Talk. I feel all I learned was that "we" have figured out Alzheimer's (with our proprietary undisclosed protocol), so... come on in and buy now?
Keith Beyerle, Read his book ‘The end of Alzheimer’s’ which explains everything very clearly if you want to follow it on your own. There are many other very informative (albeit with much more technical jargon) interviews of him on RU-vid. This theory makes so much sense as currently there is no hope whatsoever for people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Watched my father go through it and now my mother starting to as well. So I was extremely interested in his theory and read his book, now I hope that I may be able to keep myself from getting Alzheimer’s one day.
Def. recommend his book and this protocol! It is not a quick fix, so takes time to delve into it. Lots of good info out there now to help people along these lines; just have to be willing to learn and spend time working on it.
Watch some of Dr. Bredesen's more descriptive videos on this as they definitely provide as much information as one could ask for on this topic and the broader role of functional medicine in treating cognitive decline.
