I am currently taking care of a person who is in a third cycle of the protocol. Two previous interventions ( 4 an 2 years ago) were very successful ( full recovery of memory and cognitive skills) . I am very excited to be part of the process. hopefully will witness the results of the third intervention.
@@monicabarker3214 hi will try to answer up to my knowledge: the 4 and 2 years ago they was probably at early stage of dementia ( I did not ask specifically) Right now it a bit more than early, I am not qualified to make a proper assessment
What we need is a Heather Sandison and Marama in every town! With an PSA/education & outreach campaign alongside it. (And an enlightened philanthropist or two to fund scale-up?) With the average lifetime cost of dementia care in the U.S. estimated at $400,000 per person, from a purely economical perspective (and the fact that, with the Marama/Solcere models, the residency may only need to be (or is only) TEMPORARY-- because folks can "graduate" and go back to living fulfilling lives), this is a no-brainer. To say nothing of the suffering and stress on the families, the individual, & other caregivers involved that could be avoided. How do we make this happen? I know Dr. B et cie are doing their best, but we need to move mountains, people!
Widespread practitioners and local support and education from real scientists and physicians is critical! Thank you Dr Bredesen and associates.!! I notice there is a huge surge in social media “experts” getting on the bandwagon so to speak, and doing presentations that don’t give much real scientific information. At the end they try to monetize the protocol with subscriptions and supplements. I enjoy using Dr Bredesens books.
I'm 90 just recently started with memory have been listening to your discussion and have found them very healpfull and relize over the last few years my habits as changed and most was what you was talking about thank you very much xxxx
Thank you very much for this very inspirational and supportive conversation about everyone’s health potential related to cognitive function. You all mention physiology and yet there was no mention of breathing and the physiological support if one understands how their breath truly impacts their physiology and health. Not about a deep breath, and not about sleep disorders. Bigger. If anyone on this panel wants to have a conversation about the physiological basis of breathing and the things you mention - especially digestion of fats and other nutritional parameters, I am happy to discuss. I also appreciate the traditional science of Ayurveda and Dr. Rao’s added insights. Thanks again and onward and upward for cognitive function and well-being❤️
This is all great to hear online. I’ve been noticing problems from severe head trauma as well as multiple tick infestation. I can control it goes in my mouth and I’m doing pretty well with that just for your information I tried. I am in clinics I had to pay them $500 upfront nonrefundable And the rest of the protocol was so outrageously expensive there’s no way I could afford it so I lost $500 but in the meantime I was hearing about methylene blue online and I said what the heck and I am feeling better I take it twice a day. Thank you for listening and I appreciate all that you were doing but again it would be nice if I could afford a doctor. It wasn’t totally out of line with costs.
Great interview and many thanks, Dr Bredesen! I wonder whether most of Dr Sandison’s patients were just in earlier stages such as SCD or MCI? Any success in treating later stages of patients? Thanks!
Still failing at my attempts to do Marama at home. Such a need for physical evaluation from someone in our area. Getting things checked out is not easy and sometimes not affordable.
I have read The End of Alzheimers and gathered the supplements and got together the protocals needed, but I feel overwhelmed to tackle this alone . I am in Canada and would appreciate hearing about any supports for this program.
Consider starting slowly if you are feeling overwhelmed. Pick a supplement or two and start there. It's also a good way to see how you feel on one or two, rather than taking many and not knowing which one helped. I like to start people on DHA (Omega 3) at the beginning. I recommend Carlsons products. Best wishes.
Maybe you can find a health coach in your area that could support you in implementing the protocol. If they are not familiar with the protocol, they are certainly able to read and understand science. Find one that you like and that is affordable
There is a practitioner in Calgary, at Elevated Wellness.Not sure where you are but they are sparse, none in SK, few in south AB. MY mom saw Dr Nina at Elevated but was cut off from it by family
I essentially have followed this lifestyle for two years and my numbers are better than excellent but I strongly suggest no one follow these guidelines without an aggressive strength training routine. Otherwise you will lose significant muscle mass.
I would like to find a neurologist trained by you who has a practice in the NYC area with whom I can make an appointment to see my younger sister who is experiencing short term cognitive decline.
The problem is that we need more providers. My wonderful wife is deteriorating in front of me and she is no longer capable of managing her recovery. And I have neither the education or intelligence or energy to manage her situation. Unfortunately we live in Omaha, Nebraska and of all the wonderful medics in our area there in not one willing to take up the cudgels for the unfortunate that need them.
my search (this doc did use Bredesen protocol as a hook in ads) brought me to have my carotid artery scanned and was asked to purchase future "care". lol! what? i am right where i should be for 67 with plaque, but no mention of possible brain scan... for stuff. great. central ohio of all places - high amount of brain worms maybe of the locals? dementia care/slowing isn't even really talked about in my senior community. and it should be.
How can I get Kaiser to do Precode and Recode? My sweet Hank passed away 2023. He was with Dr. Ann Hathaway. Too late however. He was to far advanced. Thank you. Heather your clinical trails have revealed and confirmed much about how to prevent and reserve Alzheimer’s and more. Root cause analysis is the key to many problems in life. I hope to met you someday. It was my daughter Alicia Bravo who was with you many years ago. How can I help you????
I am convinced that at least 80% of the problem is a lack of ketones available to the brain. I believe our big brains REQUIRE ketones from before birth. But we spend our lives blocking ketone production with our crappy diet of processed food and drink full of sugar and junk starches. Ketones are one of the few things that pass through the blood brain barrier. What does that tell you? Humans and dolphins (big brain) are the only animals that readily produce ketones as far as I know. Your liver will make ketones in a completely fed state without coconut oil or MCT. Just stop eating glucose rich foods, you know, carbs. I have been ketogenic 25 years. I am APoE4. I am counting on my ketones to avoid AD. So far so good. I am 65 still working developing software for the space station. Recommending a plant based diet here is irresponsible.
Is there a peer reviewed paper in a decent journal that someone can point me to? We have a social worker poking their nose into our business and they are saying there's no evidence that this works and we are wasting our money. Like going into a dementia home is a better/cheaper alternative.
Hi @Michael-4, yes. we have numerous peer reviewed papers -- most recently, the trial which was published in JAD (Journal of Alzheimer's Disease) the top journal for Alzheimer's disease out there.

Thanks a lot Dr. Bredeson and team. I certainly would like to get a cognoscopy. Any recommendation for a physician in the Ft. Myers, Fl. Or near by. I lost my last intestine to colitis 25 yrs ago and I have a lot of challenges with food. I certainly need a good nutritionist to help me with my diet. I totally believe on prevention and welcome functional medicine. Please help. Thanks a lot.
If I have Vascular Dementia, what must be the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy protocol (ata pressure & time for each session)? Also, what supplements must I take?
I spoke to a Brednesen protocol physician just casually. Told them that I had been in a fairly serious car accident with a subdural hematoma and was having memory issues. I asked what would be the best thing and they told me hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I found a chiropractor's office that had several HBOT chambers. Practices that have HBOT chambers should know what is required. I believe mine was 2 atmospheres for an hour including getting down to that atmosphere and back up. I believe I did 22 sessions over the course of several months. Estimated cost was about $2,000. I felt it was likely worth it since I have one APOE4 gene and a family history on my dad's side. And yes I did see an improvement in my memory
So, I'm skipping around looking for a protocol that was used (particularly supplements) and I just can't find it -- so naturally I went and read the published study and I get it -- there's no protocol, it's just *really really good care* that's causing the improvements. I wonder if this study were repeated but with a control group that is taken on a bus tour for a month, twice during the year, another which is completely a control, and then this study group. My sense of it is the bus tour group will have about the same results as the treatment group and both will be well above the other control group. I think these improvements have more to do with routine in their lives, specific things to think about, and the sense that they can help themselves by eating well and getting quality sleep. Great study tho, really fine work (too bad the covid vaccines weren't given a similar investigation).
Sorry, can't buy the theory . For instance improving diet can reverse diabetes ( type 2) and this is not a placebo effect- decreasing concentrated sweets improves blood sugar control. A bus ride doesn't do this. Bredesen protocol is basically correcting all of a patients medical problems. What is good for the body is good for the brain. HTN , diabetes, heart disease, poor nutritionaffect the brain , the brain is living tissue.
She begins at minute 18:38, where she spoke about Watch pad (currently being used by a DME company) for an overnight oxygen saturation testing. Often that is covered by Medicare. But 5 yrs prior, she used Garmin (before watch pad was invented) to get an overnight oxygen saturation level. Now that watch pad is available (and she sees a low O2 sat) she now refers the patient to get an overnight watch pad test & that should be covered by Medicare.
Appreciate ALL that you are doing. However we need someone to explain..... many of us can't understand the words Dr. Ram Rao was saing..the closed captioning miss wrote what he said even worse.
I have been ketogenic for 25 years. Now 65, 5'4" slim 32" waist 130 lbs, plenty of muscle. Dont work out. Just walk. Feel great. I was a 200 lb mess at age 40. Keto saved my future. It works over the very long term. I am ApoE4 and am counting on my ketones for brain health. So far so good. Still working developing software for the space station.
the healthiest arteries in the world belong to a tribe in bolivia, they have zero alzhiemers no cancer etc yet they mainly live on a high carb diet so i wouldnt blame carbs for this, processed carbs maybe, i'd also stay well clear of pain killers

took a lifetime for this video... makes no sense. i feel there is hope. you cannot just sit on ur dead meat rear end and expect anything to change. it is work. if you want to at least try - (that's what radiation and radical surgery does for level 4 cancer - loss of hair and puking aint gonna cure it, right)? there may be A WAY TO SLOW it down but it takes determination by the person. there are no pills that are safe and effective to take from pharma to CURE - NONE. people want results tomorrow if a "pill" is taken today while they are getting their dinners from a clown thru a window... just my opinion. but what will you do to slow degenerative changes? go see doctor. get medicine. change nothing.
If you need another patient, I went through carbon monoxide poisoning for 2.5 years including hypoxic times. I'm a few years since last exposure and I feel like I have CTE
The female doctor mentioned having a GI map test done to look for gut dysbiosis, whether or not you are digesting your food, parasites, etc. She also basically mentioned getting a micro nutrient status to see what you are low in and what needs to be supplemented, because we are all different. I think it might be wise to test for heavy metals since they can affect brain health. Testing your hormones and making sure those are all within normal limits. That is something that your regular physician could do. After that, testing would depend on your symptoms and your exposure throughout your lifetime. I have worked with functional medicine doctors due to my autoimmune issues and have had some of that testing done. I have one APOE4 gene and would next like to be tested for heavy metals. I have a nutritionist in my area that can do the test and recommend a protocol for removing and binding toxins.
The protocol emphasizes both (ideally from food) as the beneficial bacteria need to be fed. We devoted the 3rd level of the brain food pyramid to optimizing GI heath.
Message to the one who commented on a vegan diet'what you said is simply not true. There's an enormous variety of different kinds of plants that you can eat when you are eating a vegan diet. The proof is all over the Internet just look and you'll see: chef AJ for example.
@@barbaras3206 The experts I've heard, say that a moderate amount of seed oils, like canola is beneficial - and certainly olive oil is, according to the evidence
You lost me at the SAT fat point in the discussion. That is a rather dogmatic view on SAT fat. It lacked nuance, it lacked references, and it is simply counter to many other findings on saturated fat. Take care
@@ApolloHealthReCODE The data can be manipulated to say whatever you want it to say! Even Google warns that there is no proof of this $$$$$ Mega Expensive "Protocole." That is, a sucker is born every minute. Shame on you!
