I just lost my husband who was a doctor to Alzheimer’s, I tried so hard to help him... now I have been so afraid and don’t want to burden my family with the same outcome... Thank you for sharing this valuable information ; it will make a difference in my life as I go on ... I have just subscribed!
‼️ In the mid-80s I was diagnosed with late-stage Alzheimer's symptoms. I was 37 years old and had been struggling with health issues for a couple of years by then. I was also diagnosed with acute and chronic mercury poisoning. I lived in Norway at the time and had a doctor who knew what to do. I'm now 74, so yes I survived Alzheimer's!
My father passed away and had dementia, and wish we had to know more at the time and I appreciate this video. Thank you for sharing. It was such a hard time a be for many.
My dad had dimentia to the point where I had to move in to help my mom. I found out he was on 6 major drugs. My mom believes in the medical community and I don't. I decided if I was taking over I would flush his pills down the toilet, literally. In two days I thought I was making a mistake, he worsened, but I stuck it out. Within 2 weeks, he was my dad again. 90% back to normal.
@@solomono938 My dad always felt, acted, and looked young for his age. He was around 72 when he was making himself something in the kitchen and he said to me, look, its happening again, my foot feels stuck to the floor. I said, dad, your getting older, there's nothing wrong with you, you can't expect perfection as you age. He was a retired biology teacher and had always wanted to be a doctor, so after a short discussion he decided to head to his doctor to find out what was wrong. His doctor diagnosed him with early Parkinson's disease, or possibly lime disease, as my dad loved gardening over the course of his life and had received many a tick bite. He prescribed some early anti-parkinsons something or other. I remember this sequence of events, well, because it was a turning point where my dad allowed the medical community to put their hooks in him. One thing would lead to another until his funeral, a few years later. Before this point, most would have placed him 10 years younger. He was still a decent tennis player and had wisps of gray on dark black hair and sparkling, smiling eyes. Over the course of the next year he deteriorated mentally and picked up additional meds to cope with the side effects. At his worst point, he was on statins, anti Parkinsons-Alzheimer's, blood pressure meds, relaxation vicodin, daily asprin and an anti depressant. I'm probably missing one or two; this was 2012. Next, he started seeing things, mostly strangers in the front and back yard, and getting more angry. One night, my mom sent me a green circular xray image, with four bright white screws they put into his badly broken arm, to hold it together. Dad had fallen down the last few stairs, chasing a hallucination in the dark of the night. I flew home to help when he got out of rehab, and he was a mental and physical basket case. When I first saw him, he screamed at me that no one would clean him up and his feet were soaking in a bucket of urine. And he did wreak of urine and hospital smell. I stopped my consulting job and moved in. His upper body was 2/3rds dark black and blue, with bruises shaped like hands and fingers, everywhere. I started cleaning him up for real, starting with his toenails and ending with his haircut, a few days later. He was a mess. I sat with my mom and went over his list of meds, different prescriptions and various doctors orders, and correlated them with pills, which wasn't easy. I bought some pill dispensers and filled them by day of the week. The little daily containers could barely close, which annoyed me as it seemed no human could sensibly be expected to absorb this cocktail of chemicals. To me, it was gross medical negligence, or maybe just stupidity, insurance milking, and my dad was a wreck as a result, but my mom insisted this was smart. So I watched. Each morning, she'd feed him a handful of pills. He'd lay in his hospital bed downstairs in our house. Within 20 minutes, his head would fall back on the pillow, his mouth wide open, and he would be in a comatose sleep until around 3pm. Then all hell would break loose. Each day, the same thing. After a week or so, I had enough. I told my mom I would give him his meds, but instead I flushed them all down the toilet. The first day he was kind of in and out and just terrible, mentally and physically hard to handle. The second day was worse. But slowly, he would start to respond to being cleaned up and seemed to realize I was trying to help him. He slowly improved to the point where about two weeks later, he was my dad again. I moved back out because I needed to get back to my own family. I told my mom to not put him back on drugs, as well as my sister who is local and very involved, and my brother a few hours away. I doubted if she was capable of not following doctors orders. It wouldn't matter. I talked to dad on the phone and he was literally almost back to normal. Then he noticed a large mass growing around his bone reconstruction. He went back to the hospital and was put on radiation treatment for aggressive, advanced sarcoma cancer around his wound - apparently, it developed in the same area purely "by coincidence" I won't go into the family disagreements on treatment plans and his location during hospice. But as predicted by the doctor, about 3 months later he was covered in large tumors that matched, perfectly and exactly, the circular pattern of the green xray image my mother sent me. He passed away maybe four months after the cancer got started. He did not die in vain. He showed me our brutal and ridiculous, uncaring medical system, its Medieval practices and money robbing experiments. In the end, he was the one who, in our kitchen, made-up his own mind to go to the doctor.
Finding this video has come at the perfect time for me. I was just diagnosed yesterday with this dreaded disease. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And giving me real hope.
I can’t say I fully understand all the processes involved but I’ve been “preaching” to everyone I know with Alzheimers relatives to try a keto lifestyle to see if it makes a difference for quite a while now but people just aren’t listening! So frustrating...
If the lifestyle is hard for them to start, maybe you can encourage them to take MCT oil and notice the difference. Then say "you can get even better results with keto."
Dr Hyman, Thank you so much for creating this format, it’s soooo helpful for navigating to find these specialists. It’s difficult to know which functional doctors are on track for neurological type healings. Your work is invaluable, and you’re so amenable, and not arrogant, thank you for being who you are!
Thank you for this informative talk. I'm a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach enrolled in the Bredesen RECODE coaching program. Excited to be ready to help people navigate the process of healing their brains. 🙏❤🙏
I'm interested in your work. I just got an mri with a white matter and I'm being referred for further testing. I had really bad virtigo and unbalanced. Diagnosed covid long haulers syndrome. It's affecting my brain.
I'd love to know where you trained to become a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach? How did you get involved in RECODE? Can you tell me more about this? I'm an LCSW who would love to do this work in whole health coaching.
Since I started minimizing sugar intake of whatever kind, my skin starts to glow like getting younger. Laugh if you don't believe me, to see is to believe. DO IT NOW!!!
Thanks so much for these good infos for prevention and reversing. My father passed away almost 3 yrs ago with dementia and parkinsons at age 81yrs old. He was so active and full of energy and then his life changed when he got them. It’s heartbreaking!
It's a truly amazing time we live in, in that I feel we're on the cusp of seeing a truly earth shattering shift in the outcomes of these otherwise death sentences of diseases on a larger scale. Great video, I love seeing these Dr. Bredesen interviews because what he's doing and has come up with is truly amazing!
Watch Dr. Bredesen's video Survivors of Alzheimer's. 4 or 5 of tbe individuals describe their experiences in turning around this dreadful disease. Some began healing themselves just by following what they read in his book. Truly amazing! 😰 I'm so encouraged after going thru it with my mom and feared i might be folliwing in her footsteps. If only we knew then what we're learning now, that you can turn Alzheimer's around and don't have to succomb to it.
This is amazing news! I work with Dementia patients and I see first hand how this disease progresses. I personally will start my vegan Keto, BHRT and supplement therapy. Also I will do a cognoscpy. Great segment! Thank you 🙏🏼
Be sure to avoid the unstable fat linoleic acid that's turned into the free radicals that are found with Alzheimer's-they break down the blood brain barrier! Linoleic acid is mainly in all seed oils, peanuts, nuts, seeds, cheap olive oil, and full-fat soy.
@@joantendler6518 Excellent point. That's one reason why it's dangerous to be vegan. Clean animal fats (used in a regular keto diet) are completely safe otoh.😊
@@L.J.01 It is also dangerous to eat animal. I have three fingers with gout. Each gout lump appears after eating animal. I eat animal and I get gout. I stop animal and the new gout shrinks.
@@annegallagher8284I think it depends a lot upon what the animals were fed on. I the US especially, animals are fed on terrible quality foodstuffs, thrown away as unfit for humans, old candy, pizza crusts, old grain (full of glyphosate), etc. One of the issues is that to eat food from healthy soils usually means organic, and organic is expensive. We truly are that which we eat: our soils are impoverished and kept productive through the use of high quantities of chemical fertilisers, fungicides, herbicides and pesticides. They simply do not contain the healthy and health giving fungi, microbes, phytonutrients and minerals that we evolved with and which form part of the anatomy of a healthy animal, or person. If you're able: grown as much of your own as you are able, organically, no-dig and it will supplement some of what's missing. God bless you.
@@annegallagher8284I agree. Almost 40 years ago, I experimented by not eating meats for 6 months. Then I ate meat for 4 months. I found that I felt so much healthier by not eating meats. It's been about 40 years since I gave up meat. I do eat eggs, but not every day. I do eat cheese sometimes, but it stops up my nose. I eat hardly any processed foods or processed breads Now I'm in my 70's and I'm quite healthy with normal blood pressure, no pains of any kind, and lots of energy and strength. I have never regretted it. A few years ago, a chiropractor took full body X-rays and said I had the bones of a woman in her thirties . I have never regretted becoming a vegetarian and eating healthy.
In eldery homes here in the Netherland they offer a large amount of sugary carbohydrate food to the residents. In our university hospitals you find lots of machines selling all these bad things like Cola, chips, chocolate and so on. When you are hospitalized they offer you all the wrong foods like white bread, pudding and so on. Unilever plays a big role in the lobby. Our prime minister used to work for them??? Surprise, I think not. Sugar is the next smoking.
Honestly, I think sugar is worse than smoking. It’s in everything. You often don’t have a choice about consuming sugar whereas we are starting to make some rules and choices about smoking.
@@kyriacosandeliannaskouroup1829 I would like to disagree. Unless you are a child dependent on your parents or a person too ill or old to have a say in what you eat, you still have the choice. Buying or growing basic items - meat, eggs, vegetables - and cooking them without sprinkling them with sugar, you are perfectly able to eat sugar-free meals.
@@PerClock Hi there. Yes I totally agree with you: in an ideal world sugar would be banned and no one would eat it; we would all have access to untainted meat, eggs and vegetables. Unfortunately the reality is that it really is everywhere: in hospitals, schools, in medication, in "health" foods. It is making us all very sick. Sometimes when you are sick or addicted it is very difficult to have the clarity necessary to make the necessary change needed for the better. Not only the obvious table sugar that we can all see, but also the hidden sugars from carbs and refined grains and even worse the artificial sweeteners. Hopefully as we become more educated we will become furious and make some changes for the better.
@@PerClock by the time you are old enough to make an informed decision (assuming somehow you are in the minority that's informed), you've already been an addict for 15-25 years.
Amazing podcast. I was thinking to learn about Alzheimer and here it is. Thank you Dr Hyman for such a wonderful podcast. Really love it and got a lot of information to avoid Alzheimer.
You two doctors should collaborate with Dr. Francisco Lopera in Medellin Colombia who is a Neurologist that is studying a village there with a high rate of alzheimers. These people get it at a young age. Many from the same family. The 3 of you could cure Alzheimer's for real. Amazing video! Thank you!!
Haven't listened to the full interview yet so perhaps this is mentioned at some point, but I was reading information on lions mane mushroom showing an impact on reversing Alzheimers and neuron damage.
You docs are both outstanding learners, innovators, researchers and most definitely, leaders in our medical world and, most importantly compassionate and other-directed, game-changing human beings!!!! I am enthralled with your sharing spirits to make the world a better place for alll!!!!
Very interesting! This gives us hope, BUT it´s also frustrating. Dr Hyman talks about patients with problems and says "we fixed that and we fixed that". What about all of us knowing we have problems but nowhere to go for help to "fix it"?
The major stumbling block is patient compliance, since you need some order of it to get any result. My mom has dementia and is totally unaware of her condition. Her ability to comply with a good diet is minimal. She craves sweets; she's obstreperous when confronted with her condition. I've described it in stark detail in desperation to get some kind of reaction, some response. Nothing. This is after a lifetime of proactive health maintenance. She used to be the driving disciplinary force in the lives of our family. She was a registered dietitian! Now, when I give her a salad she picks at it, and promptly throws it out. It's like she's determined to beat the fastest path to the grave possible. It's like the only possible way I could save her would be the kidnap her; hold her in a secret location, force feeding her leafy greens and supplements and making her walk a treadmill. It's insane knowing how to cure someone, but not being able to do it.
My Mom in law has dementia and she is eating sweets like crazy. I can't take her anywhere in a store because she grabs chocolate and eats it. Chromium deficiency makes them crave sweets...so I am trying to curb her appetite for sweets.
Leafy greens aren’t an end all be all. So many categories have their place, root vegetables, sprouted nuts-seeds, egg yolks, fish, beans, cruciferious, spirulina, and so on
This is what I had to do. I just fought every day and made her eat the correct diet. These days she is Pavlovian trained to swallow pills, so if I am in a fix I cut up some empty capsules you can buy in a store and use those to get her to swallow pureed food. I have it down to a science how to combine the high water cucumber/tomato leafy greens and technically fish, with higher-fiber food like sweet potato, curciferious, ezekiel breads, and nuts. Its about the right consistency to maximize food to water ratio and minimize the amount of bites that you have to get down the throat. At first I felt like Hitler in Hell, but now its just a day at the office.
I have similar experiences with my mother,who is 84. After months and months of getting frustrated with her eating ,now I try to relax and although I makes sure she has the right nutrition ,if she wants a slice of fruit cake I give it her...life is easier and she is happy. At this stage I try to make everyday easy and pleasant. It is heartbreaking to see the changes though!
You are right, if the patient doesn't have awareness of their problem then compliance will be a daily battle from hell. Unfortunately very smart people may seem to deteriorate very quickly because they compensate for their weaknesses for a long time. When they can't compensate any more the decline can be very rapid. My father technically died of an mi but he also had dementia and severe rheumatoid arthritis. He was also a full professor of physics at U Mass.

A functional doctor can do a nasal culture for MARCoNs. Some doctors if you have tested positive for mold will just include a protocol to address the mold in the sinuses also.
Started learning/sharing your OUTSTANDING info on a regular basis. You are light years ahead, but will we start implementing this information fast enough to fight the counter forces.
Great, thank you. Last year I watched a video from Dr. Bredesen and instantly bought his book. We all checked our Apoa score. I am happy to hear he advances and will have next great results end of this year. I just have a doubt German doctors will will acknowledge Mr. Bredesens work. Sometimes I feel as if Germany would be on an other planet. Please invite Dr. Thomas Seyfried.
I had horrible sleep for 7 years , I’m 29, I keep forgetting that my shower towel is on my left, what side my trash bin is at home, struggling to code, and the names of my co-workers. Paid for an MRI and found black spots near my amygdala. Scored 27/30 on MMSE, Doctors told me to go back home “You don’t have Alzheimer’s”. After 5 years of progressively worsening & trying, I finally gave up. Dr Bredsen, I’m listening religiously to you & your book, repeating every video so I get every single thing, I’m jumping on your RECODE program immediately & am documenting, I only value my life for the social product I’m developing that’s revolutionizing social tech (Facebook/Instagram/etc.) I need to be sharp to grow my business into an enterprise, let alone mentally normal, I can’t afford any more damage.
Please see if you can find a practitioner trained in the Bredesen protocol. Especially in a young person with memory problems get evaluated for nutritional deficiency ( esp B12) , full eval of thyroid. Also please get checked for insulin resistance / diabetes/ prediabetes. With insomnia carefully evaluate blood sugar and hyperthyroid( graves disese
Clinical trials for Alzheimer’s disease failed because the pharma companies will only going after 1 target in Alzheimer’s disease like brain amyloid plaques -and you need to hit all 3 targets at once -plaques, tangles and inflammation all at once is key
I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying it's ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $200k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point
Yes, a good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in-depth market knowledge.
@@DavidAntony-gq7id It all depends on how long you're willing to hold for, stocks might likely tank further, but making serious gains in this downtrend wouldn't be a problem if you're a pro.

Ketosis isn't so much driven by consumption of fat as it is an absence or dearth of carbohydrate. Fat consumption helps in the transition to a low- or zero-carb from a high carb diet (Standard American diet) to provide energy while the mitochondria adjust to fat-burning.

We need more Functional Medicine practitioners and we need insurance to cover it. Access may be one of the biggest road blocks, right after most people simply have no idea.
Great talk guys! I am half way through Dale's latest book, but these talks really do fill in the gaps. I myself have had a very bad experience with Chantix (varenicline) and have found information from you two and Dr.Grundy very useful (It took me a few years to work out that varenicline had made me "allergic" to a wide range of foods, amongst other problems). And recently, a friend's wife has developed a dementia of some sort and the doctors (here in Japan）don't seem to know sh*t; I hope I/we can make some progress with the good info that you guys are providing. Cheers.
Memory loss is caused by PTI= plaques, tangles and inflammation,…..what is involved in all 3 of these…heparan sulfate proteoglycans that change their sulfation pattern and disaccharide composition with aging
Is copper problematic in people?. I recently started letting my drinking water sit in a copper vessel. Indian culture says it detoxifies the water. Please shine some light on this.
My very good friend, never had children that might care for her, so I am stepping in to help her. How can I truly help her to keep her Altzheimer recent diagnosis from destroying her life. How can I get her the right diet, the right care to reverse this disease.
I would LOVE to get an appointment for my mother with Dr Hyman! She's in her 70s and is diagnosed with FTD. She is recently addressing hormones with BioTe and is doing well. This video makes me want to schedule with you! -Michele Hadley Albuquerque NM
I’m an anesthesiologist from Venezuela, living and working in Africa. I have been the middle of my life, probably since I studied five psychiatric courses, worried about dementia and Alzheimer, they had been an obsession. I’m always watching Patients, histories, movies. . . I’m hungry of knowledge but I would like to approach my job, probably even moving away from my career, if it’s necessary, in which I can only try to preserve as best as possible the potential neurological damage related to surgery and anesthesia to my patients. I’m asking for suggestions to study, research is difficult in Africa, they have an history. I only can make it by now through Internet when it works. Literature, courses, studies. I am open to hear your suggestions
7 generation of dementia. Currently 6 brother and sister with dementia. Lost 1 sister and have 1 brother of 2 with PTS and Dementia, 2 sisters with dementia, my mother and her 5 siblings died from dementia. All my cousins have died, I been with MCI for 10 years. Still working to fight for my memory in order to help my family. I'm care giver to my father with dementia Parkinson syndrome thyroid diabetes heart disease 88 years old. I try to fine help and cannot get anyone that is able to direct our condition. 25 grandchildren are concern with their future. Please help me.
So sorry about the problems your family is experiencing. All grandchildren should be genetically tested. All grandchildren should start on prevention- low carb/ low sugar diet, daily exercise, stress reduction, restorative sleep. For you go on line to find a practitioner trained by Bredesen.
Research is great, but what about the costs involved in helping individuals. Is this only for the select few, this is a major issue. Please address these issues as well we'll.
42:27 talks about Choline 550 mg. Needed. Cytocholine for synapse formation. Flavenol, flavenoids...strawberries, blueberries. Foods with Zinc, magnesium, iodine potassium, vit D, vit B's. APOE4 positive.... take exogenous. ketones. If ur vegan
Learning and changing so much from this education! Wow- I am so grateful for a chance to prevent going down the same unhealthy path as my mother.... To the women listening, I have received an excellent education from Dr Barbie Taylor on estrogen and the effects on the brain as well. She's also called Menopause Barbie 😁
When the need for hormones is mentioned for brain health, I get nervous. What type of hormones? I am 68 and started hormone blocker medication (Letrozole) this year (2023) as part of my post breast cancer treatment plan after lumpectomy and radiation. The medication suppresses estrogen and progesterone in my blood stream. Does this mean I will be more apt to develop dementia? Hope not.
Great and useful presentation thank you. Towards the end you talked about a missing piece of the cause. My suggestion is to try emotional factors. It occurred to me at the time but right towards the end it dropped a bomb for me when you spoke of the psychiatrist whose husband said “You can’t remember anything.....” over time neurolinguistic programmes take effect on most people and they become what they are programmed to be. This woman being a psychiatrist would have had just enough grunt to get up and do something about that, which she did, and that’s why the story had a better outcome. Such is my experience. My family has been associated with geriatric institutions for fifty years. I’d feel certain there is an emotional component which is frequently overlooked, just as it is with most illnesses.
Great guest and groundbreaking info. I’m just slightly concerned for your guest’s voice... maybe it’s just a passing sore throat, but if not he should get his larynx checked out.
Thank you doctors for an amazing presentation! I do have a question about the suggestion that people with APOE-4 limit their saturated fat. I have heard from many prominent low-carb experts, including cardiologists, that saturated fats from food do not turn into saturated fats in the blood. So why limit saturated fat? Thank you!
The low carb experts also and very strongly recommend intermittent fasting which help you burn fat and produce ketone energy. This process makes your cell insulin sensitive (through burning of fat ) and provide alternative energy fuel. The fats (including saturated ) also improve the lipid panel which is my personal experience. So I will stand with the low carb experts and use the saturated fat in moderation with other fats and do intermittent fasting of 18 and sometimes 24 hours
Replacing the patients naturally declining hormones including free T3 will dramatically recover cognitive decline and protect those from developing decline. Men need oral estradiol as well as women but men also need to inject weekly testosterone. We do it all the time with effective results, recovery and prevention. Not to mention the cardiovascular, life, energy and vitality benefits of being optimized!
@@solomono938 The only two moments when injecting normal physiological doses of replacement testosterone is ill-advised is with active extra-capsular prostate cancer and when you die. Otherwise, the first muscle that gets benefit is your heart muscle, then your brain, muscles (and bones) to increase your metabolism of glucose and also corrects your cholesterol and blood pressure when you melt off the dark brown deadly visceral (belly) fat. (The root of all disease) The energy, strength, vitality, mental clarity, and libido are all added benefits. There is NO downside to replacing bioidentical hormones at any age over 35-40. Our oldest patient is 99 yo, came to us at 88 yo acting like Joe Biden. At 99yo he is still running his company, oversees 25 C-level employees, drives a convertible BMW, dating a “younger woman” and acts and now looks 65-70. Takes NO medications. Just hormones replaced at optimal levels, micronutrients and probiotic. Keep in mind, we men are not just testosterone. Your provider should replace ALL hormones back to optimal levels. These little T-mill places are really doing hormone replacement centers a true disservice. I hope that helps.
My sister is declining from Alzheimer’s disease. How can we reverse this. She’s lost her speech and is losing her ability to walk. She is starting to asperate and has been put on hospice. She is 76
Research has shown that just by modifying one's activity level, reducing sugar and fats from the diet can reduce at least some of the symptoms. Also having meaningful social intreractions and a purpose are major factors too.
congratulate them for making this info available to us . my sister is locked into this desease which is fast becoming a pandemic. Listen, learn and take action...don,t be afraid as it is obvious now that we are all different and all need a PERSONAL MEDICAL PLAN so we can cure all inflamatory ills...Noy as at present treate the problems with STUFF
Fear is your friend, telling you to step back from the crumbling cliff! If you keep on doing what you are doing, you will keep on getting what you are getting! Get off the sugar path, get on the ketone path. I am 75 - strong, active, and just beat back long covid in under 6 months. I am back to jogging 4 miles, riding and training my 2 horses (just started trimming their hooves a year ago!), able to help hubby clearing trees etc. I eat keto/carnivore, 2x a day, free of all sugars, grains, starches, alcohol, and almost all fruit and processed foods.

Mom has been diagnosed with Dementia, recently. My grandmother had Alzheimer's. When my grandmother broke her hip i discovered her doctors had her on Paxil & another drug (don't remember what the other drug was now) that were contraindicated in the Physician's Desk Reference...1984 edition (I believe, might have been a year earlier). It said the side effects could be memory loss. Mom is diabetic with high blood pressure. She takes Metformin to control her blood sugar, along with an antibiotic for inflammation in her leg, not sure what she takes fir the high blood pressure. My question is: how do the drugs she takes effect her brain long term?
Dr Dubrovnik at the institute neurological research in the USA has been using etanercept injections in stroke patients with amazing results and now has started treatingAlzheimer's patients again with amazing results. Etanercept works by reducing inflammation in the brain. I hope someone now starts to take this more seriously. Australia did a trial with etanercept
Thank you. Well this is the first podcast I have listened to in its entirety. Of course don't remember much about it...... Menopause brain drain is real. Been doing many of these things mentioned for about a year now. Not perfect by any means, but huge improvements nevertheless
Is the missing component fasting (say 72hrs)? Activating stem cells, autophagy, deeper ketosis. When the body is not focusing on digesting, it can then go into repair mode.
My brain bleed injury was related to an infected tooth root and a salicylate allergy. My cerebral plasticity was not functioning as my perivascular brain flush was hindered by lack of deep sleep and a cerebral glucose deregulation.
Brain bleed deposits iron in the brain. They've shown improvement after brain bleed by targeting the iron from the extravasated red blood cells, you know, the ones that carry oxygen on their iron. So, logically, a very low iron diet, no meat, and foods which are rich in natural iron chelators, such as phytic acid, found in high amounts in unleavened bread. Brain iron overload following intracranial haemorrhage. Stroke Vasc Neurol. 2016 Dec 19;1(4):172-184. doi: 10.1136/svn-2016-000042. eCollection 2016 Dec. Garton T1, Keep RF1, Hua Y1, Xi G1. Author information Abstract Intracranial haemorrhages, including intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In addition, haemorrhage contributes to tissue damage in traumatic brain injury (TBI). To date, efforts to treat the long-term consequences of cerebral haemorrhage have been unsatisfactory. Incident rates and mortality have not showed significant improvement in recent years. In terms of secondary damage following haemorrhage, it is becoming increasingly apparent that blood components are of integral importance, with haemoglobin-derived iron playing a major role. However, the damage caused by iron is complex and varied, and therefore, increased investigation into the mechanisms by which iron causes brain injury is required. As ICH, IVH, SAH and TBI are related, this review will discuss the role of iron in each, so that similarities in injury pathologies can be more easily identified. It summarises important components of normal brain iron homeostasis and analyses the existing evidence on iron-related brain injury mechanisms. It further discusses treatment options of particular promise.

Great discussion...everything except the part about high fiber...look up Dr. Paul Saladino (recently on Joe Rogan and The Doctors) he breaks it down perfectly
Another book or concocted pill for sale; honest, real helpful advise is always appreciated. If the info works, then success and money will automatically come.
If the concern over sat fats is due to the importance of heart health, why do these two drs. ignore all the data from Phinney, Noakes, Atkins, etc. If these patients are eating low carb and avoiding seed oils,etc. , why worry about the sat fats?
I just lost my husband who was a doctor to Alzheimer’s, I tried so hard to help him... now I have been so afraid and don’t want to burden my family with the same outcome... Thank you for sharing this valuable information ; it will make a difference in my life as I go on ... I have just subscribed!
Doctor to Alzheimer's?
‼️ In the mid-80s I was diagnosed with late-stage Alzheimer's symptoms. I was 37 years old and had been struggling with health issues for a couple of years by then. I was also diagnosed with acute and chronic mercury poisoning. I lived in Norway at the time and had a doctor who knew what to do. I'm now 74, so yes I survived Alzheimer's!
Can u please tell me what did u do
My father passed away and had dementia, and wish we had to know more at the time and I appreciate this video. Thank you for sharing. It was such a hard time a be for many.
My mother died of Alzheimer in 2009, it is so painful to witness and to be helpless
Thanks for the presentation that gives hope for many
My brother is disappearing in front of me. It is heartbreaking.
@@armadillotoe Try MCT oil and L-Serine powder. Low carb and sugar, high fat diet.
@Krystal My I totally understand.. it's a tough one. Like my dad. So old school and tough minded.. stubborn
My dad had dimentia to the point where I had to move in to help my mom. I found out he was on 6 major drugs. My mom believes in the medical community and I don't. I decided if I was taking over I would flush his pills down the toilet, literally. In two days I thought I was making a mistake, he worsened, but I stuck it out. Within 2 weeks, he was my dad again. 90% back to normal.
This is one of the best and most helpful comment I have ever seen on youtube. THANK YOU!

My dad always felt, acted, and looked young for his age. He was around 72 when he was making himself something in the kitchen and he said to me, look, its happening again, my foot feels stuck to the floor. I said, dad, your getting older, there's nothing wrong with you, you can't expect perfection as you age. He was a retired biology teacher and had always wanted to be a doctor, so after a short discussion he decided to head to his doctor to find out what was wrong.
His doctor diagnosed him with early Parkinson's disease, or possibly lime disease, as my dad loved gardening over the course of his life and had received many a tick bite. He prescribed some early anti-parkinsons something or other.
I remember this sequence of events, well, because it was a turning point where my dad allowed the medical community to put their hooks in him. One thing would lead to another until his funeral, a few years later. Before this point, most would have placed him 10 years younger. He was still a decent tennis player and had wisps of gray on dark black hair and sparkling, smiling eyes.
Over the course of the next year he deteriorated mentally and picked up additional meds to cope with the side effects. At his worst point, he was on statins, anti Parkinsons-Alzheimer's, blood pressure meds, relaxation vicodin, daily asprin and an anti depressant. I'm probably missing one or two; this was 2012.
Next, he started seeing things, mostly strangers in the front and back yard, and getting more angry. One night, my mom sent me a green circular xray image, with four bright white screws they put into his badly broken arm, to hold it together. Dad had fallen down the last few stairs, chasing a hallucination in the dark of the night.
I flew home to help when he got out of rehab, and he was a mental and physical basket case. When I first saw him, he screamed at me that no one would clean him up and his feet were soaking in a bucket of urine. And he did wreak of urine and hospital smell. I stopped my consulting job and moved in.
His upper body was 2/3rds dark black and blue, with bruises shaped like hands and fingers, everywhere. I started cleaning him up for real, starting with his toenails and ending with his haircut, a few days later. He was a mess.
I sat with my mom and went over his list of meds, different prescriptions and various doctors orders, and correlated them with pills, which wasn't easy. I bought some pill dispensers and filled them by day of the week. The little daily containers could barely close, which annoyed me as it seemed no human could sensibly be expected to absorb this cocktail of chemicals. To me, it was gross medical negligence, or maybe just stupidity, insurance milking, and my dad was a wreck as a result, but my mom insisted this was smart. So I watched.
Each morning, she'd feed him a handful of pills. He'd lay in his hospital bed downstairs in our house. Within 20 minutes, his head would fall back on the pillow, his mouth wide open, and he would be in a comatose sleep until around 3pm. Then all hell would break loose. Each day, the same thing.
After a week or so, I had enough. I told my mom I would give him his meds, but instead I flushed them all down the toilet. The first day he was kind of in and out and just terrible, mentally and physically hard to handle. The second day was worse. But slowly, he would start to respond to being cleaned up and seemed to realize I was trying to help him. He slowly improved to the point where about two weeks later, he was my dad again. I moved back out because I needed to get back to my own family. I told my mom to not put him back on drugs, as well as my sister who is local and very involved, and my brother a few hours away. I doubted if she was capable of not following doctors orders. It wouldn't matter.
I talked to dad on the phone and he was literally almost back to normal. Then he noticed a large mass growing around his bone reconstruction. He went back to the hospital and was put on radiation treatment for aggressive, advanced sarcoma cancer around his wound - apparently, it developed in the same area purely "by coincidence"
I won't go into the family disagreements on treatment plans and his location during hospice. But as predicted by the doctor, about 3 months later he was covered in large tumors that matched, perfectly and exactly, the circular pattern of the green xray image my mother sent me. He passed away maybe four months after the cancer got started.
He did not die in vain. He showed me our brutal and ridiculous, uncaring medical system, its Medieval practices and money robbing experiments. In the end, he was the one who, in our kitchen, made-up his own mind to go to the doctor.
@@moheebsaad1918
He died without dementia.
Finding this video has come at the perfect time for me. I was just diagnosed yesterday with this dreaded disease.

I can’t say I fully understand all the processes involved but I’ve been “preaching” to everyone I know with Alzheimers relatives to try a keto lifestyle to see if it makes a difference for quite a while now but people just aren’t listening! So frustrating...
If the lifestyle is hard for them to start, maybe you can encourage them to take MCT oil and notice the difference. Then say "you can get even better results with keto."
Dr Hyman,
Thank you so much for creating this format, it’s soooo helpful for navigating to find these specialists. It’s difficult to know which functional doctors are on track for neurological type healings.
Your work is invaluable, and you’re so amenable, and not arrogant, thank you for being who you are!
Thank you for this informative talk. I'm a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach enrolled in the Bredesen RECODE coaching program. Excited to be ready to help people navigate the process of healing their brains. 🙏❤🙏

Are you a doctor also?
I'm interested in your work. I just got an mri with a white matter and I'm being referred for further testing. I had really bad virtigo and unbalanced. Diagnosed covid long haulers syndrome. It's affecting my brain.

Thanks so much for these good infos for prevention and reversing. My father passed away almost 3 yrs ago with dementia and parkinsons at age 81yrs old. He was so active and full of energy and then his life changed when he got them. It’s heartbreaking!
It's a truly amazing time we live in, in that I feel we're on the cusp of seeing a truly earth shattering shift in the outcomes of these otherwise death sentences of diseases on a larger scale. Great video, I love seeing these Dr. Bredesen interviews because what he's doing and has come up with is truly amazing!

Watch Dr. Bredesen's video Survivors of Alzheimer's. 4 or 5 of tbe individuals describe their experiences in turning around this dreadful disease.
Some began healing themselves just by following what they read in his book. Truly amazing! 😰
I'm so encouraged after going thru it with my mom and feared i might be folliwing in her footsteps.
If only we knew then what we're learning now, that you can turn Alzheimer's around and don't have to succomb to it.
This is amazing news! I work with Dementia patients and I see first hand how this disease progresses. I personally will start my vegan Keto, BHRT and supplement therapy. Also I will do a cognoscpy. Great segment! Thank you 🙏🏼
Be sure to avoid the unstable fat linoleic acid that's turned into the free radicals that are found with Alzheimer's-they break down the blood brain barrier! Linoleic acid is mainly in all seed oils, peanuts, nuts, seeds, cheap olive oil, and full-fat soy.
@@joantendler6518 Excellent point. That's one reason why it's dangerous to be vegan. Clean animal fats (used in a regular keto diet) are completely safe otoh.😊
@@L.J.01 It is also dangerous to eat animal. I have three fingers with gout. Each gout lump appears after eating animal. I eat animal and I get gout. I stop animal and the new gout shrinks.
@@annegallagher8284I think it depends a lot upon what the animals were fed on. I the US especially, animals are fed on terrible quality foodstuffs, thrown away as unfit for humans, old candy, pizza crusts, old grain (full of glyphosate), etc. One of the issues is that to eat food from healthy soils usually means organic, and organic is expensive.
We truly are that which we eat: our soils are impoverished and kept productive through the use of high quantities of chemical fertilisers, fungicides, herbicides and pesticides. They simply do not contain the healthy and health giving fungi, microbes, phytonutrients and minerals that we evolved with and which form part of the anatomy of a healthy animal, or person.
If you're able: grown as much of your own as you are able, organically, no-dig and it will supplement some of what's missing.
God bless you.
@@annegallagher8284I agree. Almost 40 years ago, I experimented by not eating meats for 6 months. Then I ate meat for 4 months. I found that I felt so much healthier by not eating meats. It's been about 40 years since I gave up meat. I do eat eggs, but not every day. I do eat cheese sometimes, but it stops up my nose. I eat hardly any processed foods or processed breads
Now I'm in my 70's and I'm quite healthy with normal blood pressure, no pains of any kind, and lots of energy and strength. I have never regretted it. A few years ago, a chiropractor took full body X-rays and said I had the bones of a woman in her thirties .
I have never regretted becoming a vegetarian and eating healthy.
In eldery homes here in the Netherland they offer a large amount of sugary carbohydrate food to the residents. In our university hospitals you find lots of machines selling all these bad things like Cola, chips, chocolate and so on. When you are hospitalized they offer you all the wrong foods like white bread, pudding and so on. Unilever plays a big role in the lobby. Our prime minister used to work for them??? Surprise, I think not. Sugar is the next smoking.
Yes it's the same here in the US. Very sad.
Honestly, I think sugar is worse than smoking. It’s in everything. You often don’t have a choice about consuming sugar whereas we are starting to make some rules and choices about smoking.
@@kyriacosandeliannaskouroup1829 I would like to disagree. Unless you are a child dependent on your parents or a person too ill or old to have a say in what you eat, you still have the choice. Buying or growing basic items - meat, eggs, vegetables - and cooking them without sprinkling them with sugar, you are perfectly able to eat sugar-free meals.
@@PerClock Hi there. Yes I totally agree with you: in an ideal world sugar would be banned and no one would eat it; we would all have access to untainted meat, eggs and vegetables. Unfortunately the reality is that it really is everywhere: in hospitals, schools, in medication, in "health" foods. It is making us all very sick. Sometimes when you are sick or addicted it is very difficult to have the clarity necessary to make the necessary change needed for the better. Not only the obvious table sugar that we can all see, but also the hidden sugars from carbs and refined grains and even worse the artificial sweeteners. Hopefully as we become more educated we will become furious and make some changes for the better.
@@PerClock by the time you are old enough to make an informed decision (assuming somehow you are in the minority that's informed), you've already been an addict for 15-25 years.
The more I watch Markies channel the more I like him. Great information dude!
Amazing podcast. I was thinking to learn about Alzheimer and here it is. Thank you Dr Hyman for such a wonderful podcast. Really love it and got a lot of information to avoid Alzheimer.
for phytonutrients, i suggest adding dandelion leaves and chopped kale and bitter red cabbage to salads. Arugula is good. Wild onion, and cilantro.
You two doctors should collaborate with Dr. Francisco Lopera in Medellin Colombia who is a Neurologist that is studying a village there with a high rate of alzheimers. These people get it at a young age. Many from the same family. The 3 of you could cure Alzheimer's for real. Amazing video! Thank you!!
Thank you for your solutions & being open minded medical professionals, esp. in the midst of argumentative closed minded doctors !
I've been using Dr. Bredesen's protocols since his books came out! I'm so thankful for his work!
Haven't listened to the full interview yet so perhaps this is mentioned at some point, but I was reading information on lions mane mushroom showing an impact on reversing Alzheimers and neuron damage.
I will be buying the book!
I hope I can implement the protocol for my great aunt.
You docs are both outstanding learners, innovators, researchers and most definitely, leaders in our medical world and, most importantly compassionate and other-directed, game-changing human beings!!!! I am enthralled with your sharing spirits to make the world a better place for alll!!!!
Very interesting! This gives us hope, BUT it´s also frustrating. Dr Hyman talks about patients with problems and says "we fixed that and we fixed that". What about all of us knowing we have problems but nowhere to go for help to "fix it"?
I love that Dr. Hyman has such great guests on his channel, but I hate watching him interrupt them to the point that it is hard to watch.
The major stumbling block is patient compliance, since you need some order of it to get any result. My mom has dementia and is totally unaware of her condition. Her ability to comply with a good diet is minimal. She craves sweets; she's obstreperous when confronted with her condition. I've described it in stark detail in desperation to get some kind of reaction, some response. Nothing. This is after a lifetime of proactive health maintenance. She used to be the driving disciplinary force in the lives of our family. She was a registered dietitian! Now, when I give her a salad she picks at it, and promptly throws it out. It's like she's determined to beat the fastest path to the grave possible.
It's like the only possible way I could save her would be the kidnap her; hold her in a secret location, force feeding her leafy greens and supplements and making her walk a treadmill.
It's insane knowing how to cure someone, but not being able to do it.
My Mom in law has dementia and she is eating sweets like crazy. I can't take her anywhere in a store because she grabs chocolate and eats it. Chromium deficiency makes them crave sweets...so I am trying to curb her appetite for sweets.
Leafy greens aren’t an end all be all. So many categories have their place, root vegetables, sprouted nuts-seeds, egg yolks, fish, beans, cruciferious, spirulina, and so on
This is what I had to do. I just fought every day and made her eat the correct diet. These days she is Pavlovian trained to swallow pills, so if I am in a fix I cut up some empty capsules you can buy in a store and use those to get her to swallow pureed food. I have it down to a science how to combine the high water cucumber/tomato leafy greens and technically fish, with higher-fiber food like sweet potato, curciferious, ezekiel breads, and nuts. Its about the right consistency to maximize food to water ratio and minimize the amount of bites that you have to get down the throat. At first I felt like Hitler in Hell, but now its just a day at the office.
I have similar experiences with my mother,who is 84.
After months and months of getting frustrated with her eating ,now I try to relax and although I makes sure she has the right nutrition ,if she wants a slice of fruit cake I give it her...life is easier and she is happy.
At this stage I try to make everyday easy and pleasant.
It is heartbreaking to see the changes though!
You are right, if the patient doesn't have awareness of their problem then compliance will be a daily battle from hell. Unfortunately very smart people may seem to deteriorate very quickly because they compensate for their weaknesses for a long time. When they can't compensate any more the decline can be very rapid. My father technically died of an mi but he also had dementia and severe rheumatoid arthritis. He was also a full professor of physics at U Mass.

How does one test for fungus or mold etc in the sinuses. I can't find information on testing for this.
A functional doctor can do a nasal culture for MARCoNs. Some doctors if you have tested positive for mold will just include a protocol to address the mold in the sinuses also.
Incredible informative session.

Great, thank you. Last year I watched a video from Dr. Bredesen and instantly bought his book. We all checked our Apoa score. I am happy to hear he advances and will have next great results end of this year. I just have a doubt German doctors will will acknowledge Mr. Bredesens work. Sometimes I feel as if Germany would be on an other planet. Please invite Dr. Thomas Seyfried.
I had horrible sleep for 7 years , I’m 29, I keep forgetting that my shower towel is on my left, what side my trash bin is at home, struggling to code, and the names of my co-workers.
Paid for an MRI and found black spots near my amygdala. Scored 27/30 on MMSE, Doctors told me to go back home “You don’t have Alzheimer’s”. After 5 years of progressively worsening & trying, I finally gave up.
Dr Bredsen, I’m listening religiously to you & your book, repeating every video so I get every single thing, I’m jumping on your RECODE program immediately & am documenting, I only value my life for the social product I’m developing that’s revolutionizing social tech (Facebook/Instagram/etc.) I need to be sharp to grow my business into an enterprise, let alone mentally normal, I can’t afford any more damage.
Check into Thiamine deficiency, gut microbiome and of course everything else these doctors are telling us.
Please see if you can find a practitioner trained in the Bredesen protocol. Especially in a young person with memory problems get evaluated for nutritional deficiency ( esp B12) , full eval of thyroid. Also please get checked for insulin resistance / diabetes/ prediabetes. With insomnia carefully evaluate blood sugar and hyperthyroid( graves disese

Ketosis isn't so much driven by consumption of fat as it is an absence or dearth of carbohydrate. Fat consumption helps in the transition to a low- or zero-carb from a high carb diet (Standard American diet) to provide energy while the mitochondria adjust to fat-burning.

I’m an anesthesiologist from Venezuela, living and working in Africa. I have been the middle of my life, probably since I studied five psychiatric courses, worried about dementia and Alzheimer, they had been an obsession. I’m always watching Patients, histories, movies. . . I’m hungry of knowledge but I would like to approach my job, probably even moving away from my career, if it’s necessary, in which I can only try to preserve as best as possible the potential neurological damage related to surgery and anesthesia to my patients. I’m asking for suggestions to study, research is difficult in Africa, they have an history. I only can make it by now through Internet when it works. Literature, courses, studies. I am open to hear your suggestions

So sorry about the problems your family is experiencing. All grandchildren should be genetically tested. All grandchildren should start on prevention- low carb/ low sugar diet, daily exercise, stress reduction, restorative sleep. For you go on line to find a practitioner trained by Bredesen.
Research is great, but what about the costs involved in helping individuals. Is this only for the select few, this is a major issue. Please address these issues as well we'll.

I am 68 and started hormone blocker medication (Letrozole) this year (2023) as part of my post breast cancer treatment plan after lumpectomy and radiation.

Good question and I think you should talk to your oncologist.
Don't forget our food is saturated in pesticides!!
Great and useful presentation thank you.
Towards the end you talked about a missing piece of the cause. My suggestion is to try emotional factors. It occurred to me at the time but right towards the end it dropped a bomb for me when you spoke of the psychiatrist whose husband said “You can’t remember anything.....” over time neurolinguistic programmes take effect on most people and they become what they are programmed to be. This woman being a psychiatrist would have had just enough grunt to get up and do something about that, which she did, and that’s why the story had a better outcome. Such is my experience. My family has been associated with geriatric institutions for fifty years. I’d feel certain there is an emotional component which is frequently overlooked, just as it is with most illnesses.
I’m ready for scientists to focus on plant medicines and see how they help us.

Great guest and groundbreaking info. I’m just slightly concerned for your guest’s voice... maybe it’s just a passing sore throat, but if not he should get his larynx checked out.
Thank you doctors for an amazing presentation! I do have a question about the suggestion that people with APOE-4 limit their saturated fat. I have heard from many prominent low-carb experts, including cardiologists, that saturated fats from food do not turn into saturated fats in the blood. So why limit saturated fat? Thank you!
Too much saturated fat can cause insulin resistance.
The low carb experts also and very strongly recommend intermittent fasting which help you burn fat and produce ketone energy. This process makes your cell insulin sensitive (through burning of fat ) and provide alternative energy fuel. The fats (including saturated ) also improve the lipid panel which is my personal experience. So I will stand with the low carb experts and use the saturated fat in moderation with other fats and do intermittent fasting of 18 and sometimes 24 hours

Replacing the patients naturally declining hormones including free T3 will dramatically recover cognitive decline and protect those from developing decline. Men need oral estradiol as well as women but men also need to inject weekly testosterone. We do it all the time with effective results, recovery and prevention.

Is injecting testosterone safe for elderly, 80 years?
@@solomono938 The only two moments when injecting normal physiological doses of replacement testosterone is ill-advised is with active extra-capsular prostate cancer and when you die. Otherwise, the first muscle that gets benefit is your heart muscle, then your brain, muscles (and bones) to increase your metabolism of glucose and also corrects your cholesterol and blood pressure when you melt off the dark brown deadly visceral (belly) fat. (The root of all disease)
The energy, strength, vitality, mental clarity, and libido are all added benefits.
There is NO downside to replacing bioidentical hormones at any age over 35-40. Our oldest patient is 99 yo, came to us at 88 yo acting like Joe Biden.
At 99yo he is still running his company, oversees 25 C-level employees, drives a convertible BMW, dating a “younger woman” and acts and now looks 65-70. Takes NO medications. Just hormones replaced at optimal levels, micronutrients and probiotic.
Keep in mind, we men are not just testosterone. Your provider should replace ALL hormones back to optimal levels. These little T-mill places are really doing hormone replacement centers a true disservice.
I hope that helps.
Aot of revelation here!! Thanks for theceyw opener❤
Wonderful and so helpful episode, thank you 🙏🏻💖🌷an episode that I am saving
My sister is declining from Alzheimer’s disease. How can we reverse this. She’s lost her speech and is losing her ability to walk. She is starting to asperate and has been put on hospice. She is 76
Research has shown that just by modifying one's activity level, reducing sugar and fats from the diet can reduce at least some of the symptoms. Also having meaningful social intreractions and a purpose are major factors too.
There’s nothing wrong with fats as long as they’re good fats
How do regular people access these types of treatments? I want to help my Mom.
My gawd, I'm 62 and you all are making me afraid that any minute ill start brain dying arghhhhhh
congratulate them for making this info available to us . my sister is locked into this desease which is fast becoming a pandemic. Listen, learn and take action...don,t be afraid as it is obvious now that we are all different and all need a PERSONAL MEDICAL PLAN so we can cure all inflamatory ills...Noy as at present treate the problems with STUFF
Fear is your friend, telling you to step back from the crumbling cliff! If you keep on doing what you are doing, you will keep on getting what you are getting! Get off the sugar path, get on the ketone path. I am 75 - strong, active, and just beat back long covid in under 6 months. I am back to jogging 4 miles, riding and training my 2 horses (just started trimming their hooves a year ago!), able to help hubby clearing trees etc. I eat keto/carnivore, 2x a day, free of all sugars, grains, starches, alcohol, and almost all fruit and processed foods. God bless ❤🙏❤
@@judymiller5154 carnivore ketone should be short term. There are huge problems with excess protein. Please search.
@@The_Red_Pill__ what do you believe to be the healthiest diet? better bring good data, cuz I have outstanding strength, fitness, and energy - better than many 20 years younger!
So this and that....The insurance will probably not cover any of it.
Nope...

Dr Hyman, thank you for this podcast. How do you get rid of high mercury levels in the body?
Charcoal supplements can help remove metals from your body.
Charcoal won't do it. Need to have mercury removed SAFELY by a biological dentist, then chelation.
Cilantro juicing can get rid of heavy metals from the body.
What do you think about the effects of Earthing and how it reduces inflammation?
Wow!! Just Wow.
Thanks for great job.Take always.

Mom has been diagnosed with Dementia, recently. My grandmother had Alzheimer's. When my grandmother broke her hip i discovered her doctors had her on Paxil & another drug (don't remember what the other drug was now) that were contraindicated in the Physician's Desk Reference...1984 edition (I believe, might have been a year earlier). It said the side effects could be memory loss. Mom is diabetic with high blood pressure. She takes Metformin to control her blood sugar, along with an antibiotic for inflammation in her leg, not sure what she takes fir the high blood pressure. My question is: how do the drugs she takes effect her brain long term?
Dr Dubrovnik at the institute neurological research in the USA has been using etanercept injections in stroke patients with amazing results and now has started treatingAlzheimer's patients again with amazing results. Etanercept works by reducing inflammation in the brain. I hope someone now starts to take this more seriously. Australia did a trial with etanercept
Thank you. Well this is the first podcast I have listened to in its entirety. Of course don't remember much about it...... Menopause brain drain is real.
Been doing many of these things mentioned for about a year now. Not perfect by any means, but huge improvements nevertheless
If it's reversible, can you also reverse shrinkage of the brain which usually accompanies this disease?
Is the missing component fasting (say 72hrs)? Activating stem cells, autophagy, deeper ketosis. When the body is not focusing on digesting, it can then go into repair mode.
My brain bleed injury was related to an infected tooth root and a salicylate allergy. My cerebral plasticity was not functioning as my perivascular brain flush was hindered by lack of deep sleep and a cerebral glucose deregulation.
Brain bleed deposits iron in the brain. They've shown improvement after brain bleed by targeting the iron from the extravasated red blood cells, you know, the ones that carry oxygen on their iron. So, logically, a very low iron diet, no meat, and foods which are rich in natural iron chelators, such as phytic acid, found in high amounts in unleavened bread.

Abstract
Intracranial haemorrhages, including intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH), intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), are leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In addition, haemorrhage contributes to tissue damage in traumatic brain injury (TBI). To date, efforts to treat the long-term consequences of cerebral haemorrhage have been unsatisfactory. Incident rates and mortality have not showed significant improvement in recent years. In terms of secondary damage following haemorrhage, it is becoming increasingly apparent that blood components are of integral importance, with haemoglobin-derived iron playing a major role. However, the damage caused by iron is complex and varied, and therefore, increased investigation into the mechanisms by which iron causes brain injury is required. As ICH, IVH, SAH and TBI are related, this review will discuss the role of iron in each, so that similarities in injury pathologies can be more easily identified. It summarises important components of normal brain iron homeostasis and analyses the existing evidence on iron-related brain injury mechanisms. It further discusses treatment options of particular promise.

"In aged female rats, ICH induced long-term perihematomal iron overload with upregulated iron handling proteins, neuroinflammation, brain atrophy, neuronal loss and neurological deficits. Minocycline significantly reduced ICH-induced perihematomal iron overload and iron handling proteins. It further reduced brain swelling, neuroinflammation, neuronal loss, delayed brain atrophy and neurological deficits. These effects may be linked to the role of minocycline as an iron chelator as well as an inhibitor of neuroinflammation."
Great podcast 👏 Thank you!

Great discussion...everything except the part about high fiber...look up Dr. Paul Saladino (recently on Joe Rogan and The Doctors) he breaks it down perfectly
Thanks for the tip!
Another book or concocted pill for sale; honest, real helpful advise is always appreciated. If the info works, then success and money will automatically come.
Great content but the amount of ads is a complete distraction and annoying!
😑 When you click on a video, drag the cursor all the way to the end then play it again.
Step1-Blood and urine test
Step 2 - Online cognitive test
Step 3 - MRI with volumetrics
School you recommend for nutrition to start with?
If the concern over sat fats is due to the importance of heart health, why do these two drs. ignore all the data from Phinney, Noakes, Atkins, etc. If these patients are eating low carb and avoiding seed oils,etc. , why worry about the sat fats?
