Summary: The End of Alzheimer's: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline

De: Quality Summaries

Narrado por: David Margittai

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a book summary of The End of Alzheimer's by Dale Bredesen and not the original book. This summary serves best as a companion to the original and contains a chapter-by-chapter analysis, including key takeaways. This summary does not contain the full ReCODE program.

Alzheimer’s disease is largely preventable, and often reversible.

Those are bold statements, especially from a conventionally-trained neurologist. But Dale Bredesen, MD, seems to be no ordinary neurologist.

After more than 30 years of intensive research into the molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s (AD), and clinical experience caring for thousands of patients, Bredesen is convinced many of medicine’s central dogmas about dementia are misguided at best, and flat-out wrong at worst.

He disputes the fact that there is no effective treatment or prevention method for it, providing details of his extensive and highly successful research as evidence. Bredesen dissects the disease, highlighting many contributory factors - such as insulin resistance and nutrient optimization - that almost always go unmentioned in traditional treatment.

He closes his book with a reminder that once everybody knew a cancer survivor, but nobody could name an Alzheimer’s survivor. That has now changed.

(Disclaimer: This is NOT the original book. If you’re looking for the original book, it is available from Amazon and Audible.)

Case studies

Focused summary of Dr Bredesen’s work and protocol. Touched on his ReCode protocol, but made no mention of his pre-dementia protocol…PreCode.

Helpful summary of book The End of Alzheimer’s

My husband, his mother and brother all died from
The affects of Alzheimer’s. My sister who is 15 months younger than me is in full memory care facility. I carry the genetic code also and now have begun symptoms of AD. A recent MRI and MRA show Microvascular Iscenmic Disease present. This summer it was helpful for me because of my limited ability to remember and focus. I especially liked how he repeats the chapter summaries that was very helpful thank you for a great book and a good reading

Immensely intellectual and inspiring

I am Dr LOUISE Slabbert.
I am living with a father that has developed Alzheimer’s and Dementia due to cycling accidents that caused severe frontal lobe trauma.
His and my mother’s suffering was enough motivation to get this disease researched and adressed.
Our whole family has now been tested for the APOE4 geen. Unfortunately positive, but are now on the journey of preventing cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
Dr Brederson’s book , this book is incremental in our journey.
It’s incredibly well written and is an intellectual masterpiece.
This is a definite must read for all whom takes their health serious.
It’s time that more healthcare providers start working and living to prevent disease and the suffering that comes with it.
Rather than just treating it in the same old ineffective ways.
Thank you

Loved this audio book. I am Starting to learn how to prevent Alzheimer’s in my life

Loved this audio book. I am Starting to learn how to prevent Alzheimer’s in my life. My mom is 88 she tells me he mental faculties are diminishing, this may help her, Thanks. I will begin making changes and see if I can get me doctor to do the Alzheimer’s-oscopy testing like he recently did my colonoscopy. I will buy the printed book to have as a reference!

Concise

Concise enough. Use of clear words. It was enough , so I can skip the big book.
