I think socialization and movement are natural parts of life that modern life tries its best to get rid of. So we are just giving our bodies, minds, and spirits what they need.
I rarely socialise because my enthusiasm and curiosity is too much for most people they become quiet and serious when my joy doesnt quit. I also wear zany casual clothes (ex fashion designer) on my walks, which makes the black and grey brigade look at me like I'm weird. But I dont mind, each to their own. I just keep learning and enjoying every moment of being alive. Been mostly Keto since the early Atkins days. Powerwalk twice a day now, 71 and still only 2% grey.
I read Dr. Sandison's book, "Reversing Alzheimer's". In her book, she talks about keto diet, healthy (mold free) house, social interaction, and physical exercise. In the current medical recommendation for dementia patients, the primary missing piece is the physical exercise. People at any age need to keep healthy functional muscle mass. Not having healthy functional muscles lead us to less mobility or bed-ridden or chair-ridden lifestyle which also lead to less blood flow to our brain. Assisted-living facilities need to incorporating strength training and cardio exercises, not just jigsaw puzzles.
One of the problems in aging is loss of balance. Some of the dementia types, like vascular dementia, accelerate loss of balance. This contributes to lack of exercise. Then, one gets comorbidities, like heart disease which can also limit exercise. But, this all contributes to this being a complex disease.
I am 67, have a brain FULL of Amyloid plaque of the highest intensity but my cognitive test score is 29/30. My metabolic health is generally good, I am not on any pills , I eat well and exercise. I have been very worried that my brain cognitive function will get worse as I age. This finding gives me hope. Thank you.
@@ayleenhacopian4118 My partner thought I was not as sharp as I used to (forget names and a bit slower to come up with some words sometimes) etc. We saw our GP, she did some easy cognitive test on me (which showed I had no problem). Partner insisted GP to send me to have a brain MRI done. The result was normal for my age. My GP was happy and advised that no further investigation required. "Normal people" would be happy and would stop here, but not my partner :-) .He knew someone who could introduce me to a company currently doing testing for amyloid plague removal drugs. This group did the PET scan for me and I was also to perform a series of face to face cognitive tests. The result was : pathology test (PET scan) shows I have Alzheimer's, but as my cognitive test result was OK it was not conclusive, hence I am not qualified to join the trial (not that I want to join, as one of the side effects is brain bleed). Now I am doing all I know of, to improve brain health in general. I would be great to know if there are any other people in my same situation.
I like the amyloid plague malapropism which I blame on autocorrect since the q and g are not next to each other (statistically most likely IMO). Kudos if on purpose. Funny how things look similar whether you use a microscope, your eyes, a telescope, or your mind’s eye: invading forces look like chemical reactions. What a complex organ(ism)!
My mother had early onset. Dementia, caused me to leave school and work to care for her. My father is type two diabetes probably was the cause of his depression and also possibly dementia. I became a certified health and life coach, despite my years in a completely different field. And I have learned so much from people like you, as well as the good Dr. Sandison. Thank you both for your work!

Have you put him on a ketogenic diet yet? This is what this naturopath did for the person they improved the MOCHA score in. There are actually two placebo controlled intervention trials in actual human beings with Alzheimer's showing the ketogenic diet reverse AD. It would also reverse his diabetes
A friend of mine was a naturopath/herbalist who had a sucessful career. He radiated light, eyes sparkled. At sixty eight he was diagnosed with a brain tumour and died within months....I live healthy, meditate, walk and jog daily take no medication am seventy eight, but know that it doesn't guarantee anything....life has it's own plans.
@@2009gloriesProbably had great care if he was natural health oriented. Ive seen this happen too and sometimes no matter how good your care is, the battle is lost.
@@JohnBurman-l2l Do you know if he did keto at all after his diagnosis? I’d first heard of keto as being an option for at least some brain tumors as these tumors have a high demand for glucose. It wasn’t presented as a cure but it was giving people fairly significant amounts of additional time. Some people do radiate 😊
my mother reversed her Alzheimers but with no ketogenic diet, very restricted sugar though, exercise, TM , yoga, Chinese traditional medicine and ayurvedic herbals
also she ate real wild salmon, other good fats. vitamins. mitocondrial boosters. lots of fresh vegetables, fruits, home cooked food. some processed foods but very little. She went from getting spatially disoriented in fairly familiar places and not being able to cook the things she was good at previously to speaking with profound and sparkling brilliance and cooking perfectly again.
@@juuskanda Please share more. What did you use as mitocondrial boosters? What Chinese & ayurvedic herbals were used? What about pasture raised red meat? Filtered water? Sleep support? Many Thanks.
I can confirm that doctor Bredesen protocol works: my mother has Alzheimer’s and she very signinficantly improved two years ago when she was about to be checked in to a care facility because she was loosing touch with reality on siginificant level. With the protocol she improved so much that until today she is living on her own in a different city. The only thing that couldn’t be eradicated is the paranoia that affected her cognition for many years before. It still is a major problem…
Look for lithium and the effect on cognition. The german MD Michael Nehls made some very good german videos. With translated subtitles maybe you can understand it if you don´t speak german. He has also a few english articles on his homepage.
Ozone treatments have helped a friend of mine! As a nurse I’d never heard of it. It’s been fascinating to watch her receive these treatments and get better. Ozone is O3 so super oxygenated blood. They draw out blood and infuse it with ozone then reinfuse. She’s gotten better with each one and has done four treatments. One must be sent to a naturopath to get this. Her physician didn’t know how to help her so she sent her to a naturopath. I think we need to rethink modern medicine. It’s so good in so many ways and not good enough in others.
I am 71 and have no dementia. I did something similar back in 1996 to assist me in getting rid of long term Lyme disease. I was doing it along with IV antibiotics and I actually could see with blood tests how my immune sytem was helped with it. Back then it was called UBI. I agree with you that it could be used much more than it is currently. (you can google UBI).
Ten years ago I attended a medical appointment with a relative suspected of having dementia. I still remember the three items the doctor asked her to remember. Table, ball, and pen. I'm still balancing that ball on the pen as it spins across the table--in my head. Our diets were vastly different. Hers was junk food, high fructose corn syrup, grains, and fried foods. My diet is nuts, greens, berries, mushrooms, salmon, sardines, herring, chickpeas, lentils, beans, vegetables, fruit and nut oils, eggs, and minimal butter and quinoa. I drink water, tea, black coffee, and occasional home fermented drinks. No wheat, no dairy, no meat, no corn, no soybeans, no sugar, and no grain/seed oils. Fruit oils: olive, avocado, coconut, and walnut. I'm in my 70s. My relative displayed dementia in her 50s. I follow a lot of Dr. Perlmutter's guidelines for my diet and my diet is high fat, low-carb, and just enough protein. My omega 3/omega 6 fatty acid ratio hovers around 50-50. Fish and nuts!
@@RobertWillis-mw9nd Nuts are full of fat and protein. Most successful gatherer/hunter groups eat a high fat diet with nuts or grubs contributing the higher percentage of fat. Meat doesn't necessarily include a lot of fat. Rabbit starvation is real. Too much lean meat without fat.
Read Dr Bredesen's book in 2017, gifted it multiple times. One of my all time favorite books. Started the RECODE protocal then and never looked back. Made some tweaks here and there. I did it strictly as a preventative measure with no regrets. I support your sentiments about a Nobel prize. I liked the fact that he started in research, went back to medical school and then back to research. He has been right about the single drug approach. Thank you both.
I appreciate Bredesen's work, but a Nobel Prize would be highly inappropriate. He didn't do the formative significant work in this field. He reported & popularized the work of others who beat him by a decade or two.
I'm sick and tired of medical professionals going along with, excusing, and even being apologists for the co-opted, corrupt, and lying industry that they're in. Pharmacological FIRST is the worst model, and the fact that such a majority of doctors can't intuitively understand how ass backwards this is MORE than just "disappointing".
As a nurse, I completely agree. The pharmacy companies own medical school teaching it seems. They’re no longer taught to find the root cause and simply listen to signs and symptoms and write a prescription. Someone’s getting very rich but the regular guy is suffering for it. Thankfully, a lot of keto and carnivore doctors admit they learned nothing about actual nutrition and don’t often know how to find the root cause. Things are turning around.
@@paultoensing3126I agree 100%. Money hungry t**** is just the beginning of it. Those t**** also want to keep us sick because That increases their profit.
Why does Singapore and Bulgaria have the lowest death Alzheimer's and dementia death rates in the world. What foods are they consuming. Scientists figured out that people in Bulgaria live 20 percent long because they consume naturally fermented yogurt that contains a probiotic strain naturally present in the air called Lactobacillus Bulgaricus. Could this probiotic also help delay the onset of Alzheimer's or dementia?
As presented in the video, Both Alzheimer's and dementia are multi-factorial, so no, one probiotic is not the solution, because there is no one solution.
I am writing from Bulgaria, that is no longer the case. Dementia is on the rise, multinational companies overtook genuine natural products, like yogurt you mention, and replaced it with cheap mass GMO, starches and chemical flavouring. Real bulgarian yogurt is long gone. The population is overall very sick. 30 years ago, dementia was something very rare, indeed.
Oh man after I got Covid I’ve had chronic fatigue and brain fog, my family has a long history of Alzheimer’s on both sides of the family, I’m struggling mentally and I’m only 48
If you are able, cook simple foods, high in protein... Avoid fast food, prepared foods and as many medical prescriptions. Research youtube videos for keto foods - healthier. God bless
I too have family Alzheimer’s and I’m T2 diabetic and frustrating short term memory. I heard one doctor say ‘not to worry if you can’t remember where you left your keys, but when you can’t remember what keys are for’. Stay on a low carb eating plan (not keto, with all the fat) exercise physical and mentally; do crosswords, math problems etc. try and stay positive and keep up with the research.
Andrew go Carnivore eat lots of beef, lamb and choose the fattiest pieces - if you can just only eat meat and forget the veggies, breads etc - also never use vegetable oils. Listen to Dr Anthony Chaffee, Dr Shawn Baker, Dr Ken Berry.
so much listening to get just a small amount of usable techniques, thank you for the helpful info, but most people need this chopped up into a much faster delivery because they only have scarce moments in their time budget
Thank you so much for this amazing video. My mom passed 9 years ago this month because of Alzheimers and this is great news for everyone around the globe. Greetings from Brazil. ❤
It makes sense to be able to reverse Alzheimer’s somewhat since we have learned so much about neuroplasticity. People and their family members need to advocate for themselves and take the steps needed before it gets so severe.
The primary cure for Alzheiner's is removing carbohydrates from the diet exercise helps the body but the diet with low to zero carbs helps the brain with Ketone bodies. This is why Alzheimer's is also called the third type of Diabetes !
There are studies pointing to keto not being very efficient at preventing AD in Apoe4 carriers. Low GI-carbs though I can prescribe to. And less saturated fat because lots of LDL is implicated about as often as insulin resistance. And, for apoe4 carriers - no alcohol and somewhat intense workout sessions.
@@Poppy_love59 I listened to a long interview on NPR with an Alzheimer;s researcher who said that the people who get Alzheimer’s are those who eat a diet high in saturated animal fat.
I worked at a community excercise facility and in 2020 they shut down. Many elderly went there and it was a big social deal as well as the exercise. I was so sad to think about these elderly folks then lacking both for a year, which probably led to a ton of decline.

I’m 67 and have used keto diet for the last three years on and off to lose and maintain weight. It’s been obvious that my mental capacity increases when in nutritional ketosis. Within the past 3 or 4 months I’ve developed pain and weakness in my dominate arm which has been diagnosed as tennis elbow, explained to me as a repetitive motion disease. However, when in ketosis, the arm problems completely disappear. Obviously, I need to live a keto lifestyle. Keto blood tests are a bit expensive and a hassle, so now I use arm pain (assuming inflammation) to gauge how I’m doing on my diet.
I love what Dr. Sandison is saying. As a holistic provider myself, I have seen dramatic changes with just providing the right nutrients, supplements and lifestyle modifications. This is not really news - except to traditionally oriented docs. Do not appreciate Dr. Perlmutter pushing semaglutide, however, since there are so many solutions to these issues that don't require medications and without the serious potential side effects!
Statins cause, and exacerbate dementia! I woke from a coma and was diagnosed with dementia, I also was prescribed Statins, then my mental state got WORSE!!! Thank God my family noticed, so I stopped taking them! It's taken YEARS for the fog to lift! Now with the help of a Neuropsychologist I am doing much better. I went from just sitting and staring at a wall all day, to painting and cooking and DRIVING!!! I could not do any of that on Statins and Fenofibrate! So people need to know this!!!
Statins are on the list of drugs whose side effects cause much more harm than the drug itself helps. Those drugs were created supposedly to stop death from heart attacks, back when cholesterol was poorly understood. Turns out, cholesterol is not the devil. Statins do not work for their stated purpose, but doctors still prescribe them because they are too lazy to keep up with latest scientific research.
I quit medical to take care of my parent with Dementia. I have done a ton of research and put my mom on supplements and she has changed her eating to low carb, low chemical foods. She is doing quite well now. They have been slowly reducing her chemical meds as her body is coming back to normal.
@@douglassmith2055i Fasting is a main stay of ancient Ayurvedic medicine and also practiced in many Indigenous cultures to assist in healing. The body rejects food and eating when you in-tune with your-self. Its ’s a way of saying cut the eating so I can get rid of the crap so you can heal. A a simple way of reducing the body burden. Hence Autophagy is a key to healing.
This is a great idea, but unfortunately the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical companies will pay and do whatever it takes to counter this approach. 😢 They want to keep the population in ignorance with their chronic diseases, so that they are completely, and permanently dependent on them for their medications. $$$
I agree with much of this approach but I would caution you that when patients go from a MOCA score in single digits to something much higher, it's because you reversed a low-grade confusional state you did not reverse a severe dementia. These things are frequently conflated, and low grade encephalopathy due to any number of things including infections, especially the prototypically common UTIs, moderate to severe sleep deprivation, medicine effects, particularly from CNS depressants like benzodiazepines and opiates, food toxicities and other inflammatory variables, all of these conjointly can depress someone's cognitive baseline, leading to the common mistake that they are moderately, moderately to severely, or perhaps even severely demented when in fact they are suffering from encephalopathy superimposed over a much lesser level of cognitive decline. Reversal of these is not trivial, and I'm not suggesting it's not something to celebrate, but I think you're conflating baseline dementia level, and confusional state / encephalopathy. Sadly I can tell you from 40 years in the trenches working in Alzheimer's Clinics and on Alzheimer's units that this conflation is entirely commonplace. This becomes relevant particularly when people begin to get hope that somebody who is truly severely demented at baseline can have a miraculous recovery when in fact even these state-of-the-art approaches cannot promise or deliver such an outcome. In other words determining that someone's at a true baseline as opposed to an encephalopathic/degraded baseline is a critical clinical task in assessment and, unfortunately, one that most clinicians are failing.
In other words, if you don’t have a family member who is medically and naturopathic savvy and has endless free time to dedicate to you and your diet, health, activities, etc., and you have already progressed to the point of not being able to process the mountains of instructions, information and do’s and dont’s, you are going to go the way of most ppl with dementia. After listening, its very clear that this multiple approach to treatment will not be attainable for the vast majority of ppl. I think it must have more to do with genetics than anything else. My mom, her father, sister, and 5 brothers all had Alzheimer’s. All had good caretakers, love, family interaction, regular meals, and activity, but all eventually lost their capacity to think or ability to function, though they all lived very different lives in different areas as adults. All of them were extremely active and hardworking, rarely sick and had onset in their 70’s, except my aunt who developed severe problems in her early 60s.
Genetics is one way that you can get Alzheimers. Sounds like your mom's family has a genetic predisposition. Probably ApoE4. At this point in time, we have to learn about programs like Bredesen's and implement it ourselves, or do it for a sick family member. At least we have an easy way to get the knowledge. Just buy their books. (that's the easy part). Lifestyle modifications are a lot harder.
@@incognitotorpedo42 Yes, l agree that implementing modifications are much harder, especially if you have no one to help consistently. Yesterday l left my pickup running for 2 hours and left the oven on for 3 hours. Got sidetracked onto other tasks and didn’t even realize until later. Tho still very good with language skills and other areas in which l operate at full capacity, a lot of things are starting to fall through the cracks snd l simply can’t keep all the balls up in the air anymore. I set alarms and forget why. I write notes but forget where l put them. I forget to pay bills and do not want to open mail or answer the door. I don’t really want to be around ppl. Going to church takes all my resolve. The best thing for me to do is to stay home. I can still go to the stores, the doctor, etc., then l come straight home. I have no social life at all except talking on the phone. I used to go see my mom in the Alzheimer’s unit about 80 miles away, but now can hardly make myself go. I could buy the books abt Alzheimer’s and read them but wouldn’t remember most of what they said in a week. It just gets more and more complicated as time goes by. As l said, unless someone is totally dedicated to your care and available most of the time, there’s really not much hope of avoiding incapacity. I am already to the point where the basics of life are a challenge, much less remembering the do’s, don’ts, whens, wheres and hows of avoiding dementia.
I've followed Dr. Bredeson for several years and his research! I started taking his supplements and regained the memory I was losing! He's the best in his field by far!!!
This retired psychiatrist who treated hundreds of patients for short-term memory loss with stress management (chronic stress hormone cortisol is neurotoxic and the detritus of dead neurons is what Alois Alzheimer saw and mislabeled as "Alzheimer's Disease"), sex hormone replacement by an experienced OB/GYN NP, and supplementation of B and C vits, Kelp for iodine, and DHEA (for those unable to see the OB/GYN NP), also saw dramatic improvement. I'd stick with Dale Bredesen's book and program, if you want my advice.
@@annelbeab8124 Dehydroepiandrosterone, a mid pathway OTC hormone that supports the synthesis of cortisol and the sex hormones, all of which derive from cholesterol. Our stressful lives, largely due to our stressor filled urban/suburban "built" environments over tax our adrenal glands, thus causing "adrenal fatigue", and DHEA can help restore the adrenal function. I've taken it several times over my 78 yrs. to restore my adrenal functions. Beat to consult a holistic healthcare provider for supervision. Good luck!
@@annelbeab8124It's a hormone. You can get it from purified omega 3 fish oil supplements, cod liver oil, coconut oil, and olive oil. Having an avocado a couple times a week is good too, as well as seeds, wild-caught fish, free range chicken, turkey, eggs, and grass fed meat.
You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity, get enough sleep and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks including fruit juices are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun. Every city should be a bicycle city. Speak up for bicycles in your community
I agree with all of this - except the meat part. All studies on meat include it in the realm of the standard American diet. I think at some point we'll realize that humans have been eating meat since the dawn of existence. It is not the demon we make it out to be.
One must be careful with over generalizations. I cannot eat certain legumes due to lectin sensitivity. I also avoid certain plants due to plant protein toxins. I am sensitive to ALOT of foods. I appreciate a good lean white meat and a good cheese for protein which is essential for proper metabolic functions. Finding what is causing your own inflammation is key. Excersise is medicine. Just avoiding processed foods and moving your body does wonders.

Double 4 here as well. First time I heard of Apoe was when I bought Dr. Perlmutter's "The Better Brain Book" when my mom started showing signs of cognitive problems.

I think of beta amyloid as spackle. When you see a concrete wall deteriorating, you might see spackle attempting to fill the cracks. So, spackle goes with decay ... but it doesn't cause it. It's a response.
So wonderful that there is an open and welcoming interaction and cooperation between MD and ND. For far too long and to our everlasting shame, we MDs have looked down on the NDs and not taken their work seriously. As an MD I am the first to admit that it took the care of ND's to get me through years of hell visited upon me by Lyme disease, Bartonella and other associated infections (thanks to a tick) when the MDs were skeptical and even dismissive.

The doctor is speaking the truth, so listen. These dietary changes are crucial for all Americans not just those with dementia & it's DIY; you can't get any more affordable than that! (And it may save you that $15,0000 a month by staying out of assisted living facilities)!
My dad died of Alzheimer’s in April aged 75 after being diagnosed 4 years ago. He was one of the fittest men I know. He was a builder and kept his strength, had good muscle mass, walked, cycled and did exercise everyday. I have read that hearing loss can contribute to Alzheimer’s and he hated to wear his hearing aids, so didn’t a lot of the time. Whatever the cause, it certainly wasn’t lack of exercise. Such an awful disease, sufferers seem to have the same look of complete fear in their eyes.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. We have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Lou Gehrig's that runs in my family when people get older, and around 20 years ago I started doing some research and found that all 3 of these things are caused by the same thing, an ATP7B copper binding gene defect, which causes an elevated free copper. People with this gene defect live a relatively normal life, while the toxic unbound or free copper builds up. Their brain is protected by the blood brain barrier BBB, but as people age the BBB starts to deteriorate and becomes permeable, allowing the free copper to enter the brain and short circuit it. I had my free copper tested around 20 years ago and it was 3 times normal and my elderly Mother's free copper was 5 times normal. We started taking high dose zinc and lowered the free copper to normal to prevent future problems. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS patients were tested around 20 years ago when free copper was discovered, and they all had elevated free copper levels. I've learned from experience that when taking high dose zinc like we were doing of 150 mg per day, to get the free copper tested at least once a year, because my Mother went from a toxic level of free copper to a copper deficiency. Along with blocking copper absorption, zinc also blocks iron, and now she's severely anemic, which is fortunately a reversible form of dementia. If you are interested, the free copper test code at lab corp is 279071. It's a rare test that most labs don't offer. Most doctors have never even heard of free copper, so if you ask for a free copper test, they'll just order a serum copper test, which is not the same. Since this is genetic, you might also have a high free copper and not know it. Once again, sorry to hear about your Dad. I was just curious, did his symptoms come on gradually or sudden?
I feel like screaming too, no mention of what to eat, when to eat, what times to eat, only Keto, only Grass Fed Meat, no eating after 6pm, no snacks, Nitric Oxide, NOT A WORD , VERY STRANGE....SHE WANTS YOU TO BUY HER BOOK.
Super B Vitamins and a tablespoon of liquid lecithin is improving my wife. She rides her bicycle every day. I wish I could limit her coffee drinking, with sugar.
buy the book by her mentor Dr Bredesen, The End of Alzheimer's. Its not just about food, but stop all junk and find an anti-inflammatory diet you can manage.
@ropeyarn A tiny bit less sugar in each cup over a number of weeks months till none. And if you were then to put in the amount now she would go "ugh'! Only works if you make the coffee every time. Otherwise smaller spoon in the sugar jar gradually can help a bit.
I would love to have this question answered....Granted Dr. Bredensen has helped many people with his guidance with a mostly plant based diet. However, I have found information that those that have high homocysteine levels can cause "brain shrinkage" and so need to introduce more B's into their diet should include B6, B9 and B12 (meat)..? Confused......
Thank you both for your work and amazing studies and discoveries. You are both amazing. As a non professional, I found the results of the studies and summary from approx 27:00 mins the most helpful. For professionals of course it's best watched in it's entirety.
suggest research into herbs like velvet bean-macuna pruriens, aswagandha, shankapushpi, rosemary, valerian root, bee pollen...dosage depends on strength of each herb and weight of patient. mind conscious breathing exercises-5levels, mind~body balancing techniques and spirituality also helps.
This is awful! I can’t even finish it because it’s not going into what you should be doing to reverse Alzheimer’s! That was the whole reason I clicked on this video! I also feel a lot what they did tell you, the small amount is old information!
One view is: if BAP is on the brain to protect from xxx but it disrupts synaptic activity that would equal to arterial plaque protecting the endothelial lining but causing obstructions. This would go back to the inflammation model and encouraging the clearing process of plaque/MAP. Cyclodextrin maybe?
Great. Interview when I was back home in Dublin in January from my mom's funeral. I noticed there were. Sauna huts right next to the ocean. Pretty amazing love this research. I was at home as my mom had passed away from dementia.
It always puzzles me when people either ask someone what they ‘feel’, or that they ‘feel’ a certain way. Then they go on to describe studies, logic etc. The word ‘think’ should be used rather than ‘feel’. People think about your words. We do not care how you feel about something. We listen to you, because we want to hear what you THINK.
Having a hard time believing this, first off my mom was healthy as they come, she was a hair stylist, golfer, did Karate (became a black belt) and was getting into a new hobbies such as stain glass and helped at her church. She has it now…she still eats healthy…..this just seems like a very long winded way to TRY something that will probably not work. I hope they are able to figure it out but this is not it…no child or caregiver has the time or support to do this.
My mom passed from alzheimers last year. As an adult she got a lot of cold sores on her lips and in her mouth. I'm sure there are other factors but this probably contributed to her getting it. She also rarely got beneficial exercise.
I feel the big inflammation is caused by Mast Cell Activation Syndrome....high Histamine. There is a broad array of symptoms and each person is unique in what they present with. Get in DAO, take Pepcid and the big one is Alpha Lipoic Acid to knock down inflammation. But the base is the diet....low Histamine. I had brain fog, pains in my gut and back pain. Doing this has reduced all my symptoms. Plus taking Choline ade a huge difference in my brain fog. I focus so much better and more energy. Lyme triggers the herpes virus and Epstein Barr already in the body causing the chronic fatigue syndrome 😮
Om gosh. You just described me to a T! Thank you so much. Did not know about DAO... When I looked up mast cell info the very foods that they list are the ones that I am having trouble with and have been wondering about for some time to get to the conclusions that they were bothering me. The lyme diagnosis, the Epstein Barr numbers that are always running high, the herpes cold sore virus, arrimias, breathing issues, swelling tongue etc. etc. Even going back further now you got me thinking. My mother had issues with hives and so forth my sister has the same issues with hives and reactions and having to take antihistamines, her twin as well. I was reading that it could be a hereditary Gene.... A correlation with vitamin C add motion sickness along with mast cell issues which my sister's both have motion sickness, and sensitivities to some of the foods mentioned IE vinegars etc. I'm still trying to take it all in and plan to try some of the things that work for you to see how it does for me. I am so brain fogged and fatigued I can't even begin to explain, especially as a caregiver..... Thank you again. You've given me some ideas and hopefully I'll be able to pass that along to my siblings....
I have it and while I continue to avoid histamine-releasing foods, the only thing that's made a real difference for me are IV infusions of Vitamin C, which I can get only from a naturopathic doctor here in Canada.
@@sherrywhitlow So glad I helped. It's a complex problem. In my family there are three of us with histamine issues since birth. I didn't know what it was ...why we were so sensitive to foods and sick all the time. I believe I just don't make enough DAO enzyme. Born that way. Following the diet I occasionally need DAO. If I eat whatever I need DAO with each meal.
9 minutes in and they have yet to say a single thing about their so called "unique" intervention. They dismiss another study outright without saying why.
My brother has been diagnosed with lewy body dementia. My mother has cousins and she also had a grandmother with alzheimer disease. On my dad’s side, he had a brother with parkinson’s with dementia. I worry about getting dementia also.
Chronically elevated glucose, and lack of saturated fat (essential building blocks for nervous system), as in those not following a ketogenic diet, is what causes inflammation in the brain and all other areas of the body.
I love the passion you two have for what you do in the cognitive health field people like you is where my hope for finding solutions will be, not medicine 💊 💉 thanks
Isolating old folks and everyone wearing masks killed many people. Hard of hearing people do way more lip reading than we can imagine, and they didn’t venture out even as much as they might have.
My dad was in an assisted living during Covid, he used to go to the gym there consistently almost daily. Because of Covid he was confined to his room, not allowed to go to the gym, and was not allowed visitors. Horrid. Then he got the vaccination a year later and died four months after that.
Great lecture but I think you need to be more careful with your words-instead of saying Alzheimer's can be reversed perhaps you could say Alzheimer's can often be reversed, or Alzheimer's can sometimes be reversed-otherwise it seems like clickbait, since statistically you know it cannot always be reversed depending upon their cognitive level at the start, just saying.
I am grateful and impressed by the courage you are showing by fact-checking big pharma, and pursuing the truth. I am eager to learn more about any specific long-COVID protocols that may be developing, and have started to search for providers who offer contrast oxygen therapy. Thank you so much.
Look into iver.mec.tin. even doses a year later can help with c.o.vid. detoxing and binders. Florida drs were treating successfully. Only 1- 2 NY drs, because NY dept of health blocked access.
Lifestyle intervention is what it takes to stop these people from going down the path that they're going down. Majority of people are not willing to change their lifestyle voluntarily even when there longevity is on the line. I care for an elderly man and he doesn't want to hear anything about his diet or lack of exercise or lack of sleep or anything else that he's doing wrong. 😢
Really, show me one documented case. If this were true there would be works famous clinics treating rich people from around the world at enormous profit. Alzheimer's is basically type 3 diabetes. That's why it affects those with 2 two ApoE4's the worst. Prevention is the key. Proper nutrition can reduce the risk up to 80%.
I believe there is more and more research. Check out Bredesen’s The End of Alzheimer’s book as well. Good that this is accessible, hopefully insurance will be covering this type of protocol soon!
You say that but I treated my own lupus with diet, I’d already signed myself out of hospital over a decade earlier and if I went back they would just say I didn’t have ana and not treat me. No one was like wow you treated yourself, even if I mention what I was doing they just give you a look and move you along. I don’t think it works like that. My friends dad is still around after 9 years after being given a few months to live but no doctor is interested in the lifestyle things he did they just consider it a medical miracle kind of thing.
Is there testing for people whose first language is other than English? My dad kicked cancer 2x. (The cancer had migrated to his right frontal lobe (initially lung) he has a successful surgery to remove the tumor. Followed by one more brain surgery 6+ yrs ago for a non-cancerous mass in the same frontal lobe). Now years later- the neurologist did testing in English (but he is going back to his first language - Greek). They tell us the imaging doesn’t show “Alzheimer’s” or dementia) but shows short term memory loss. I’m desperately looking for answers for my father. He fought cancer like a champ & it’s devastating to see him crawl into a shell because he knows his short term memory is not functioning well. He owns a business & doesn’t want to slow down. Any help/guidance would be a blessing 🙏🏽
I'm 62, m, & I've been on the carnivore diet for 6 months, & have, no negative effects from it that I notice, only good ones! How would I know anyway if I had Alzheimers, or memory loss? I've told my kids to watch for any changes, or deterioration in my behaviour, or my demeanour. So far no indication, & I see them often. It had been suggested that Alzheimers should be called Type 3 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can be cured by the carnivore diet, so why can't Type 3? I guess, obviously, if other factors can cause it, other than diet, then changing the diet may not fix it? Regardless, surely the brain, being the most precious part of our body, in a way, should be strongly protected from external damage, & external pathogens entering it? Or does the CD protect the brain from the influence of these other factors? - Besides the actual physical injury to the brain, via a major head injury, of course.
Yes there are a lot! We had a documentary here in Sweden don’t remember were it was form but yes it’s very effective but it’s hard to make the older people to understand this
Fasting is what people did before modern times out of lack of food, when cancer and Alzheimers were super rare. No research needed, just a knowledge of our past and the old world.
82 almost this my interest because I don’t want it…. Alzheimer’s 1. Keep your glucose reading down 2. Do weight resistance and cardio 3 Eat high protein. Now I did exercise up until last year much better at walking but fell on hard concrete hit my Greater Trochanter broke my femoral stem. Repaired with anterior hip replacement still on cane . I can walk sans cane but it is my security. I do four miles per day but idea is in my head that I may wear out this titanium joint???
I noticed a difference in myself once I started being around people again. Socialization helps me
Really?! I can’t stand people for the large part. Amazing
I am solitary generally. I like being in Pilates and Yoga. I love being with my grandchildren.
It does me too. But I'm stuck out about as rural as possible with no car. Thank goodness for my dog, Pablo. Only company I have.
I think socialization and movement are natural parts of life that modern life tries its best to get rid of. So we are just giving our bodies, minds, and spirits what they need.
I rarely socialise because my enthusiasm and curiosity is too much for most people they become quiet and serious when my joy doesnt quit. I also wear zany casual clothes (ex fashion designer) on my walks, which makes the black and grey brigade look at me like I'm weird. But I dont mind, each to their own. I just keep learning and enjoying every moment of being alive. Been mostly Keto since the early Atkins days. Powerwalk twice a day now, 71 and still only 2% grey.
I read Dr. Sandison's book, "Reversing Alzheimer's". In her book, she talks about keto diet, healthy (mold free) house, social interaction, and physical exercise. In the current medical recommendation for dementia patients, the primary missing piece is the physical exercise. People at any age need to keep healthy functional muscle mass. Not having healthy functional muscles lead us to less mobility or bed-ridden or chair-ridden lifestyle which also lead to less blood flow to our brain. Assisted-living facilities need to incorporating strength training and cardio exercises, not just jigsaw puzzles.
They do
Well seeing as many assisted living residents now need self defense skills, perhaps that could be taught?
One of the problems in aging is loss of balance. Some of the dementia types, like vascular dementia, accelerate loss of balance. This contributes to lack of exercise. Then, one gets comorbidities, like heart disease which can also limit exercise. But, this all contributes to this being a complex disease.
Totally agree, thanks for mention this quite important factor.
Absolutely
I am 67, have a brain FULL of Amyloid plaque of the highest intensity but my cognitive test score is 29/30. My metabolic health is generally good, I am not on any pills , I eat well and exercise. I have been very worried that my brain cognitive function will get worse as I age. This finding gives me hope. Thank you.
May I ask how do you know and what prompted you to find out?
You might consider prolonged fasting to see if autophagy can work to clear it.
@@ayleenhacopian4118 My partner thought I was not as sharp as I used to (forget names and a bit slower to come up with some words sometimes) etc. We saw our GP, she did some easy cognitive test on me (which showed I had no problem). Partner insisted GP to send me to have a brain MRI done. The result was normal for my age. My GP was happy and advised that no further investigation required. "Normal people" would be happy and would stop here, but not my partner :-) .He knew someone who could introduce me to a company currently doing testing for amyloid plague removal drugs. This group did the PET scan for me and I was also to perform a series of face to face cognitive tests. The result was : pathology test (PET scan) shows I have Alzheimer's, but as my cognitive test result was OK it was not conclusive, hence I am not qualified to join the trial (not that I want to join, as one of the side effects is brain bleed). Now I am doing all I know of, to improve brain health in general. I would be great to know if there are any other people in my same situation.
I like the amyloid plague malapropism which I blame on autocorrect since the q and g are not next to each other (statistically most likely IMO). Kudos if on purpose. Funny how things look similar whether you use a microscope, your eyes, a telescope, or your mind’s eye: invading forces look like chemical reactions. What a complex organ(ism)!
Amyloid plaque has been proven to be a fraud.
My mother had early onset. Dementia, caused me to leave school and work to care for her. My father is type two diabetes probably was the cause of his depression and also possibly dementia. I became a certified health and life coach, despite my years in a completely different field. And I have learned so much from people like you, as well as the good Dr. Sandison. Thank you both for your work!

Have you put him on a ketogenic diet yet? This is what this naturopath did for the person they improved the MOCHA score in. There are actually two placebo controlled intervention trials in actual human beings with Alzheimer's showing the ketogenic diet reverse AD. It would also reverse his diabetes

A friend of mine was a naturopath/herbalist who had a sucessful career. He radiated light, eyes sparkled. At sixty eight he was diagnosed with a brain tumour and died within months....I live healthy, meditate, walk and jog daily take no medication am seventy eight, but know that it doesn't guarantee anything....life has it's own plans.
did he die from tumor or therapy to cure tumor?
I am sorry, but would you mind clarifying what you mean by radiated light.
@@InTruthNLove Not everything in life requires neat little definitions....if you are lucky one day your awareness might expand.
@@2009gloriesProbably had great care if he was natural health oriented. Ive seen this happen too and sometimes no matter how good your care is, the battle is lost.
@@JohnBurman-l2l Do you know if he did keto at all after his diagnosis? I’d first heard of keto as being an option for at least some brain tumors as these tumors have a high demand for glucose. It wasn’t presented as a cure but it was giving people fairly significant amounts of additional time.
Some people do radiate 😊
my mother reversed her Alzheimers but with no ketogenic diet, very restricted sugar though, exercise, TM , yoga, Chinese traditional medicine and ayurvedic herbals
also she ate real wild salmon, other good fats. vitamins. mitocondrial boosters. lots of fresh vegetables, fruits, home cooked food. some processed foods but very little. She went from getting spatially disoriented in fairly familiar places and not being able to cook the things she was good at previously to speaking with profound and sparkling brilliance and cooking perfectly again.
May I ask how old she is and how long it took to experience the reversal?
What kind of Ayurvedic herbs?
@@juuskanda Please share more. What did you use as mitocondrial boosters? What Chinese & ayurvedic herbals were used? What about pasture raised red meat? Filtered water? Sleep support? Many Thanks.
@@juuskanda That is amazing!!! What were the mitochondrial boosters and was she able to have some fruit?
I can confirm that doctor Bredesen protocol works: my mother has Alzheimer’s and she very signinficantly improved two years ago when she was about to be checked in to a care facility because she was loosing touch with reality on siginificant level. With the protocol she improved so much that until today she is living on her own in a different city. The only thing that couldn’t be eradicated is the paranoia that affected her cognition for many years before. It still is a major problem…
Look for lithium and the effect on cognition. The german MD Michael Nehls made some very good german videos. With translated subtitles maybe you can understand it if you don´t speak german. He has also a few english articles on his homepage.
@@hwlz16 Thank you very much for your help. I will look into it. You think that it could work for somebody with Alzheimer's dementia and paranoia?
My mother has her good days however her paranoia is bad. She lacks motivation & is depressed .
Good question!
Thanks for sharing this kasia!
I read Bredesen’s the End of Alzheimer’s, and it is a very inspiring read!
Ozone treatments have helped a friend of mine! As a nurse I’d never heard of it. It’s been fascinating to watch her receive these treatments and get better. Ozone is O3 so super oxygenated blood. They draw out blood and infuse it with ozone then reinfuse. She’s gotten better with each one and has done four treatments. One must be sent to a naturopath to get this. Her physician didn’t know how to help her so she sent her to a naturopath. I think we need to rethink modern medicine. It’s so good in so many ways and not good enough in others.
I am 71 and have no dementia. I did something similar back in 1996 to assist me in getting rid of long term Lyme disease. I was doing it along with IV antibiotics and I actually could see with blood tests how my immune sytem was helped with it. Back then it was called UBI. I agree with you that it could be used much more than it is currently. (you can google UBI).
Wow her doctor sent her to a naturopath! Thank God no ego there to get in the way of really wanting your patient to get better!
O3 is very different from O2!!
Surely the ozone must be for creating the "mild stress" she was talking about.
In the distant past, Chinese Drs were only paid as long as their patients remained Healthy. Rethink indeed!
“Re-think modern medicine…”!!
American healthcare is so resistant to this!!!
Ten years ago I attended a medical appointment with a relative suspected of having dementia. I still remember the three items the doctor asked her to remember. Table, ball, and pen. I'm still balancing that ball on the pen as it spins across the table--in my head. Our diets were vastly different. Hers was junk food, high fructose corn syrup, grains, and fried foods. My diet is nuts, greens, berries, mushrooms, salmon, sardines, herring, chickpeas, lentils, beans, vegetables, fruit and nut oils, eggs, and minimal butter and quinoa. I drink water, tea, black coffee, and occasional home fermented drinks. No wheat, no dairy, no meat, no corn, no soybeans, no sugar, and no grain/seed oils. Fruit oils: olive, avocado, coconut, and walnut. I'm in my 70s. My relative displayed dementia in her 50s. I follow a lot of Dr. Perlmutter's guidelines for my diet and my diet is high fat, low-carb, and just enough protein. My omega 3/omega 6 fatty acid ratio hovers around 50-50. Fish and nuts!
@@GeckoHiker Your diet doesn't feed the parasites.
Thank you for sharing ❤
@@Subspace._tripmineTrue..interesting perspective..Thanks
How do you have high fat and no meat
@@RobertWillis-mw9nd Nuts are full of fat and protein. Most successful gatherer/hunter groups eat a high fat diet with nuts or grubs contributing the higher percentage of fat. Meat doesn't necessarily include a lot of fat. Rabbit starvation is real. Too much lean meat without fat.
Read Dr Bredesen's book in 2017, gifted it multiple times. One of my all time favorite books. Started the RECODE protocal then and never looked back. Made some tweaks here and there. I did it strictly as a preventative measure with no regrets. I support your sentiments about a Nobel prize. I liked the fact that he started in research, went back to medical school and then back to research. He has been right about the single drug approach. Thank you both.
i use the single everything approach and you tried to stop mne and r3 45pe amnd rob me
The same to me!
I appreciate Bredesen's work, but a Nobel Prize would be highly inappropriate. He didn't do the formative significant work in this field. He reported & popularized the work of others who beat him by a decade or two.
@@jamesthompson7282 There ought to be some sort of prize for people like Bredesen who put all the pieces together and help huge numbers of people.
I'm sick and tired of medical professionals going along with, excusing, and even being apologists for the co-opted, corrupt, and lying industry that they're in. Pharmacological FIRST is the worst model, and the fact that such a majority of doctors can't intuitively understand how ass backwards this is MORE than just "disappointing".
As a nurse, I completely agree. The pharmacy companies own medical school teaching it seems. They’re no longer taught to find the root cause and simply listen to signs and symptoms and write a prescription. Someone’s getting very rich but the regular guy is suffering for it. Thankfully, a lot of keto and carnivore doctors admit they learned nothing about actual nutrition and don’t often know how to find the root cause. Things are turning around.
I've heard it referred to as "Rockefeller medicine."

Why does Singapore and Bulgaria have the lowest death Alzheimer's and dementia death rates in the world. What foods are they consuming. Scientists figured out that people in Bulgaria live 20 percent long because they consume naturally fermented yogurt that contains a probiotic strain naturally present in the air called Lactobacillus Bulgaricus. Could this probiotic also help delay the onset of Alzheimer's or dementia?
Saw a graph recently that showed Singaporeans are the healthiest in the world. Don’t know why. Skeptical about probiotics.
As presented in the video, Both Alzheimer's and dementia are multi-factorial, so no, one probiotic is not the solution, because there is no one solution.
ua-cam.com/video/VAYTy7az2_E/v-deo.html
I am writing from Bulgaria, that is no longer the case. Dementia is on the rise, multinational companies overtook genuine natural products, like yogurt you mention, and replaced it with cheap mass GMO, starches and chemical flavouring. Real bulgarian yogurt is long gone. The population is overall very sick. 30 years ago, dementia was something very rare, indeed.
No longer the case for Asians.
Singapore and East Asians now have the highest ‘skinny’ diabetes in the world.
Every culture makes their own yogurt.
Wow indeed. Thank you so much for highlighting this doctor’s work. It was a pleasure to hear both of you.
We definitely need more messages of hope in these times. Thanks for the uplifting podcast!
Oh man after I got Covid I’ve had chronic fatigue and brain fog, my family has a long history of Alzheimer’s on both sides of the family, I’m struggling mentally and I’m only 48

Stop eating sugar! All disease will leave the body.
I too have family Alzheimer’s and I’m T2 diabetic and frustrating short term memory. I heard one doctor say ‘not to worry if you can’t remember where you left your keys, but when you can’t remember what keys are for’. Stay on a low carb eating plan (not keto, with all the fat) exercise physical and mentally; do crosswords, math problems etc. try and stay positive and keep up with the research.
@@katiedid1851excellent suggestion for lots of things. saved my gall bladder.

It makes sense to be able to reverse Alzheimer’s somewhat since we have learned so much about neuroplasticity. People and their family members need to advocate for themselves and take the steps needed before it gets so severe.

The primary cure for Alzheiner's is removing carbohydrates from the diet exercise helps the body but the diet with low to zero carbs helps the brain with Ketone bodies. This is why Alzheimer's is also called the third type of Diabetes !
Low carb diets like keto and carnivore lead to premature death: ua-cam.com/video/gzeP1obBe30/v-deo.htmlsi=rrzR2HzuTXQuEU5n
Very true. I’ve heard so many podcasts now that say cutting down carbs can guard against Dementia.

There are studies pointing to keto not being very efficient at preventing AD in Apoe4 carriers. Low GI-carbs though I can prescribe to. And less saturated fat because lots of LDL is implicated about as often as insulin resistance. And, for apoe4 carriers - no alcohol and somewhat intense workout sessions.
@@Poppy_love59 I listened to a long interview on NPR with an Alzheimer;s researcher who said that the people who get Alzheimer’s are those who eat a diet high in saturated animal fat.
I worked at a community excercise facility and in 2020 they shut down. Many elderly went there and it was a big social deal as well as the exercise. I was so sad to think about these elderly folks then lacking both for a year, which probably led to a ton of decline.

I’m 67 and have used keto diet for the last three years on and off to lose and maintain weight. It’s been obvious that my mental capacity increases when in nutritional ketosis. Within the past 3 or 4 months I’ve developed pain and weakness in my dominate arm which has been diagnosed as tennis elbow, explained to me as a repetitive motion disease. However, when in ketosis, the arm problems completely disappear. Obviously, I need to live a keto lifestyle. Keto blood tests are a bit expensive and a hassle, so now I use arm pain (assuming inflammation) to gauge how I’m doing on my diet.
I love what Dr. Sandison is saying. As a holistic provider myself, I have seen dramatic changes with just providing the right nutrients, supplements and lifestyle modifications. This is not really news - except to traditionally oriented docs. Do not appreciate Dr. Perlmutter pushing semaglutide, however, since there are so many solutions to these issues that don't require medications and without the serious potential side effects!
Interesting interview -I'm also impressed to see an MD respect a Naturopathic Doctor. Thank you for posting.
Statins cause, and exacerbate dementia! I woke from a coma and was diagnosed with dementia, I also was prescribed Statins, then my mental state got WORSE!!! Thank God my family noticed, so I stopped taking them! It's taken YEARS for the fog to lift! Now with the help of a Neuropsychologist I am doing much better. I went from just sitting and staring at a wall all day, to painting and cooking and DRIVING!!! I could not do any of that on Statins and Fenofibrate! So people need to know this!!!
Great testimony. Are you following some special diet?
Statins are on the list of drugs whose side effects cause much more harm than the drug itself helps. Those drugs were created supposedly to stop death from heart attacks, back when cholesterol was poorly understood. Turns out, cholesterol is not the devil. Statins do not work for their stated purpose, but doctors still prescribe them because they are too lazy to keep up with latest scientific research.
I quit medical to take care of my parent with Dementia. I have done a ton of research and put my mom on supplements and she has changed her eating to low carb, low chemical foods. She is doing quite well now. They have been slowly reducing her chemical meds as her body is coming back to normal.
Can you please share the supplements for dementia?

ONE WORD . AUTOPHAGY ! TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO HEAL THEMSELVES.
Fasting in the Bible one of the most powerful tools.
@@douglassmith2055i Fasting is a main stay of ancient Ayurvedic medicine and also practiced in many Indigenous cultures to assist in healing. The body rejects food and eating when you in-tune with your-self. Its ’s a way of saying cut the eating so I can get rid of the crap so you can heal. A a simple way of reducing the body burden. Hence Autophagy is a key to healing.
This is a great idea, but unfortunately the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical companies will pay and do whatever it takes to counter this approach. 😢 They want to keep the population in ignorance with their chronic diseases, so that they are completely, and permanently dependent on them for their medications. $$$
I agree with much of this approach but I would caution you that when patients go from a MOCA score in single digits to something much higher, it's because you reversed a low-grade confusional state you did not reverse a severe dementia. These things are frequently conflated, and low grade encephalopathy due to any number of things including infections, especially the prototypically common UTIs, moderate to severe sleep deprivation, medicine effects, particularly from CNS depressants like benzodiazepines and opiates, food toxicities and other inflammatory variables, all of these conjointly can depress someone's cognitive baseline, leading to the common mistake that they are moderately, moderately to severely, or perhaps even severely demented when in fact they are suffering from encephalopathy superimposed over a much lesser level of cognitive decline.
Reversal of these is not trivial, and I'm not suggesting it's not something to celebrate, but I think you're conflating baseline dementia level, and confusional state / encephalopathy. Sadly I can tell you from 40 years in the trenches working in Alzheimer's Clinics and on Alzheimer's units that this conflation is entirely commonplace. This becomes relevant particularly when people begin to get hope that somebody who is truly severely demented at baseline can have a miraculous recovery when in fact even these state-of-the-art approaches cannot promise or deliver such an outcome.
In other words determining that someone's at a true baseline as opposed to an encephalopathic/degraded baseline is a critical clinical task in assessment and, unfortunately, one that most clinicians are failing.
In other words, if you don’t have a family member who is medically and naturopathic savvy and has endless free time to dedicate to you and your diet, health, activities, etc., and you have already progressed to the point of not being able to process the mountains of instructions, information and do’s and dont’s, you are going to go the way of most ppl with dementia. After listening, its very clear that this multiple approach to treatment will not be attainable for the vast majority of ppl.
I think it must have more to do with genetics than anything else. My mom, her father, sister, and 5 brothers all had Alzheimer’s. All had good caretakers, love, family interaction, regular meals, and activity, but all eventually lost their capacity to think or ability to function, though they all lived very different lives in different areas as adults. All of them were extremely active and hardworking, rarely sick and had onset in their 70’s, except my aunt who developed severe problems in her early 60s.
Genetics is one way that you can get Alzheimers. Sounds like your mom's family has a genetic predisposition. Probably ApoE4. At this point in time, we have to learn about programs like Bredesen's and implement it ourselves, or do it for a sick family member. At least we have an easy way to get the knowledge. Just buy their books. (that's the easy part). Lifestyle modifications are a lot harder.
@@incognitotorpedo42 Yes, l agree that implementing modifications are much harder, especially if you have no one to help consistently. Yesterday l left my pickup running for 2 hours and left the oven on for 3 hours. Got sidetracked onto other tasks and didn’t even realize until later. Tho still very good with language skills and other areas in which l operate at full capacity, a lot of things are starting to fall through the cracks snd l simply can’t keep all the balls up in the air anymore. I set alarms and forget why. I write notes but forget where l put them. I forget to pay bills and do not want to open mail or answer the door. I don’t really want to be around ppl. Going to church takes all my resolve. The best thing for me to do is to stay home. I can still go to the stores, the doctor, etc., then l come straight home. I have no social life at all except talking on the phone. I used to go see my mom in the Alzheimer’s unit about 80 miles away, but now can hardly make myself go. I could buy the books abt Alzheimer’s and read them but wouldn’t remember most of what they said in a week. It just gets more and more complicated as time goes by. As l said, unless someone is totally dedicated to your care and available most of the time, there’s really not much hope of avoiding incapacity. I am already to the point where the basics of life are a challenge, much less remembering the do’s, don’ts, whens, wheres and hows of avoiding dementia.
I've followed Dr. Bredeson for several years and his research! I started taking his supplements and regained the memory I was losing! He's the best in his field by far!!!

This retired psychiatrist who treated hundreds of patients for short-term memory loss with stress management (chronic stress hormone cortisol is neurotoxic and the detritus of dead neurons is what Alois Alzheimer saw and mislabeled as "Alzheimer's Disease"), sex hormone replacement by an experienced OB/GYN NP, and supplementation of B and C vits, Kelp for iodine, and DHEA (for those unable to see the OB/GYN NP), also saw dramatic improvement. I'd stick with Dale Bredesen's book and program, if you want my advice.
Can you describe what DHEA means ? Kudos from continental Europe
@@annelbeab8124 Dehydroepiandrosterone, a mid pathway OTC hormone that supports the synthesis of cortisol and the sex hormones, all of which derive from cholesterol. Our stressful lives, largely due to our stressor filled urban/suburban "built" environments over tax our adrenal glands, thus causing "adrenal fatigue", and DHEA can help restore the adrenal function. I've taken it several times over my 78 yrs. to restore my adrenal functions. Beat to consult a holistic healthcare provider for supervision. Good luck!

You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health.
Lower stress, reduce obesity, get enough sleep and more exercise are key to a healthy life.
Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world.
Fast food and sugary drinks including fruit juices are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity.
Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly.
Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices.
Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly.
Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer.
Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game.
A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility.
Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun.
Every city should be a bicycle city.
Speak up for bicycles in your community
You should have your own channel
I agree with all of this - except the meat part. All studies on meat include it in the realm of the standard American diet. I think at some point we'll realize that humans have been eating meat since the dawn of existence. It is not the demon we make it out to be.
One must be careful with over generalizations. I cannot eat certain legumes due to lectin sensitivity. I also avoid certain plants due to plant protein toxins. I am sensitive to ALOT of foods. I appreciate a good lean white meat and a good cheese for protein which is essential for proper metabolic functions. Finding what is causing your own inflammation is key. Excersise is medicine. Just avoiding processed foods and moving your body does wonders.

- Importance of exploring root causes beyond beta amyloid accumulation.
21:30 *🧠 Multimodal approach to Alzheimer's prevention and delay*
- Multimodal approach suggested by Lancet can prevent up to 40% of Alzheimer's cases globally.
- 12 modifiable risk factors include obesity, hypertension, smoking, and more.
- Programs combining various modalities show significant cognitive improvement.
22:13 *📊 Results of a multimodal intervention study*
- A study involving 23 participants with cognitive decline demonstrated a 73.9% improvement in cognition.
- Intensive intervention based on the Bredesen approach showed statistically significant increases in memory, overall cognition, and quality of life.
- Results suggest potential for cognitive enhancement even in advanced stages of impairment.
26:45 *🌡️ Hormetic effects and contrast oxygen therapy*

I am an APOE 4/4 carrier. Thank you both so much for giving us hope!
Double 4 here as well. First time I heard of Apoe was when I bought Dr. Perlmutter's "The Better Brain Book" when my mom started showing signs of cognitive problems. Double 4 is not our destiny, but it was my wake-up call that I needed to make dramatic changes in my lifestyle if I wanted to avoid that same fate as my mom. I had not heard of Dr. Sandison until tonight, but I am definitely going to get her book. We need more creative doctors like her screaming that yes there is hope, yes we can fix this. Thanks Dr. Perlmutter for delivering great content like this.
@@drjohnny8237 I have one copy of APOE4. Mom passed Stone with severe dementia at the age of 97 at her whole family had late onset I am 82. And expected to be coming down with it well before now. But so far so good Partly, blind, partly deaf and do not exercise but I can still ride a bicycle
Why does UK not test for APOE?
I think of beta amyloid as spackle. When you see a concrete wall deteriorating, you might see spackle attempting to fill the cracks. So, spackle goes with decay ... but it doesn't cause it. It's a response.
Bingo. Exactly.. that's why reductionist medicine fails. It's a holistic approach that operates in the body.
Just like cholesterol responds to arterial damage. Cholesterol is not the cause of heart disease.
Dr. Sandison has the right ideas. I am a Ph.D. Microbiologist
In what way?
Thank you so much for this interview, which is so hopeful on this horrific disease. I have followed the work of Dale Bredesen on this topic also.
So wonderful that there is an open and welcoming interaction and cooperation between MD and ND. For far too long and to our everlasting shame, we MDs have looked down on the NDs and not taken their work seriously. As an MD I am the first to admit that it took the care of ND's to get me through years of hell visited upon me by Lyme disease, Bartonella and other associated infections (thanks to a tick) when the MDs were skeptical and even dismissive. Thank you for this most interesting and informative discussion. God Bless you both!

I've always thought that the presence of CO² allows the O² molecules to fall off the hemoglobin, so that hypob-oxygen helps the cells get what they need and too much O² hinders the hemoglobin in delivering this to the cells in the necessary quantities.
He had us doing "patterning" with the child - more or less crawling through a construction within a limited amount of time
In 1968-1970 we had a science teacher in HS (Mr. Roth) whose infant son was motorically-challenged. He had us doing "patterning" with the child - more or less the child crawling through a construction within a limited amount of time to do so - after which he was to breathe into a plastic bag/mask for 2 minutes which was supposed to raise the child's cognition and acumen through deficiency. This somewhat seemingly barbaric procedure achieved good results over the course of the year.

I tend to disagree with bacteria’s causing this the pioneer people had worse exposure to bacteria and viruses and never got it. I believe it’s our food and metabolic problems caused by it and also vaccines. Children are now getting it

The thing I do not respect about Dr. Sandison is that her living assistance facility for Alzheimer’s is approx. $15,000/month. Based on someone who sent their mom to her facility, they were not helped properly. I would just stick to the Bredesen protocol or the Crouse Protocol.
where is her facility? What happened that you know about?
The doctor is speaking the truth, so listen. These dietary changes are crucial for all Americans not just those with dementia & it's DIY; you can't get any more affordable than that! (And it may save you that $15,0000 a month by staying out of assisted living facilities)!
15k a month!? Isn't that really really cheap for medical services in the USA?

My dad died of Alzheimer’s in April aged 75 after being diagnosed 4 years ago. He was one of the fittest men I know. He was a builder and kept his strength, had good muscle mass, walked, cycled and did exercise everyday. I have read that hearing loss can contribute to Alzheimer’s and he hated to wear his hearing aids, so didn’t a lot of the time. Whatever the cause, it certainly wasn’t lack of exercise. Such an awful disease, sufferers seem to have the same look of complete fear in their eyes.
Sorry to hear about your Dad. We have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Lou Gehrig's that runs in my family when people get older, and around 20 years ago I started doing some research and found that all 3 of these things are caused by the same thing, an ATP7B copper binding gene defect, which causes an elevated free copper. People with this gene defect live a relatively normal life, while the toxic unbound or free copper builds up. Their brain is protected by the blood brain barrier BBB, but as people age the BBB starts to deteriorate and becomes permeable, allowing the free copper to enter the brain and short circuit it. I had my free copper tested around 20 years ago and it was 3 times normal and my elderly Mother's free copper was 5 times normal. We started taking high dose zinc and lowered the free copper to normal to prevent future problems. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS patients were tested around 20 years ago when free copper was discovered, and they all had elevated free copper levels. I've learned from experience that when taking high dose zinc like we were doing of 150 mg per day, to get the free copper tested at least once a year, because my Mother went from a toxic level of free copper to a copper deficiency. Along with blocking copper absorption, zinc also blocks iron, and now she's severely anemic, which is fortunately a reversible form of dementia. If you are interested, the free copper test code at lab corp is 279071. It's a rare test that most labs don't offer. Most doctors have never even heard of free copper, so if you ask for a free copper test, they'll just order a serum copper test, which is not the same. Since this is genetic, you might also have a high free copper and not know it. Once again, sorry to hear about your Dad. I was just curious, did his symptoms come on gradually or sudden?

Its not just about food, but stop all junk and find an anti-inflammatory diet you can manage.
@ropeyarn A tiny bit less sugar in each cup over a number of weeks months till none. And if you were then to put in the amount now she would go "ugh'! Only works if you make the coffee every time. Otherwise smaller spoon in the sugar jar gradually can help a bit.
Of course she does. Do you want people to pay you for work?
I would love to have this question answered....Granted Dr. Bredensen has helped many people with his guidance with a mostly plant based diet.
However, I have found information that those that have high homocysteine levels can cause "brain shrinkage" and so need to introduce more B's into
their diet should include B6, B9 and B12 (meat)..? Confused......

Hello 👋Beautiful Lady 🌹..How are you and the weather condition like?
suggest research into herbs like velvet bean-macuna pruriens, aswagandha, shankapushpi, rosemary, valerian root, bee pollen...dosage depends on strength of each herb and weight of patient. mind conscious breathing exercises-5levels, mind~body balancing techniques and spirituality also helps.

Pickleball has been a God Given gift for healthy aging. It’s high intensity activity, social, keeps your mind active and focused at the same time.
I know many people refer to Alzhiemers and Dementia interchanginly. Does this apply specific to Alzheimer's or any dementia?
One view is: if BAP is on the brain to protect from xxx but it disrupts synaptic activity that would equal to arterial plaque protecting the endothelial lining but causing obstructions. This would go back to the inflammation model and encouraging the clearing process of plaque/MAP. Cyclodextrin maybe?
I wonder if breath-holding exercises combined with hyperventilation could induce similar benefits to contrast oxygen therapy.
That’s a very interesting idea.

It always puzzles me when people either ask someone what they ‘feel’, or that they ‘feel’ a certain way. Then they go on to describe studies, logic etc. The word ‘think’ should be used rather than ‘feel’. People think about your words. We do not care how you feel about something. We listen to you, because we want to hear what you THINK.

Why does no one mention alcohol when it comes to causing Alzheimer’s?
Well alcohol is fermented sugar. So going keto/low carb includes cutting out alcohol

Regular socialization is the key. Plus healthy diet and some physical exercise to keep up the need of socializing.
Hermit monks rarely, if ever, develop Alzheimer's or dementia. They do fast very frequently, though.
Having a hard time believing this, first off my mom was healthy as they come, she was a hair stylist, golfer, did Karate (became a black belt) and was getting into a new hobbies such as stain glass and helped at her church. She has it now…she still eats healthy…..this just seems like a very long winded way to TRY something that will probably not work. I hope they are able to figure it out but this is not it…no child or caregiver has the time or support to do this.
My mom passed from alzheimers last year. As an adult she got a lot of cold sores on her lips and in her mouth. I'm sure there are other factors but this probably contributed to her getting it. She also rarely got beneficial exercise.
I feel the big inflammation is caused by Mast Cell Activation Syndrome....high Histamine. There is a broad array of symptoms and each person is unique in what they present with. Get in DAO, take Pepcid and the big one is Alpha Lipoic Acid to knock down inflammation. But the base is the diet....low Histamine. I had brain fog, pains in my gut and back pain. Doing this has reduced all my symptoms. Plus taking Choline ade a huge difference in my brain fog. I focus so much better and more energy.
Lyme triggers the herpes virus and Epstein Barr already in the body causing the chronic fatigue syndrome 😮
Om gosh. You just described me to a T! Thank you so much. Did not know about DAO... When I looked up mast cell info the very foods that they list are the ones that I am having trouble with and have been wondering about for some time to get to the conclusions that they were bothering me. The lyme diagnosis, the Epstein Barr numbers that are always running high, the herpes cold sore virus, arrimias, breathing issues, swelling tongue etc. etc. Even going back further now you got me thinking. My mother had issues with hives and so forth my sister has the same issues with hives and reactions and having to take antihistamines, her twin as well. I was reading that it could be a hereditary Gene.... A correlation with vitamin C add motion sickness along with mast cell issues which my sister's both have motion sickness, and sensitivities to some of the foods mentioned IE vinegars etc. I'm still trying to take it all in and plan to try some of the things that work for you to see how it does for me. I am so brain fogged and fatigued I can't even begin to explain, especially as a caregiver..... Thank you again. You've given me some ideas and hopefully I'll be able to pass that along to my siblings....

I have it and while I continue to avoid histamine-releasing foods, the only thing that's made a real difference for me are IV infusions of Vitamin C, which I can get only from a naturopathic doctor here in Canada.
@@sherrywhitlow So glad I helped. It's a complex problem. In my family there are three of us with histamine issues since birth. I didn't know what it was ...why we were so sensitive to foods and sick all the time. I believe I just don't make enough DAO enzyme. Born that way. Following the diet I occasionally need DAO. If I eat whatever I need DAO with each meal.
Thank you both great job 👍
9 minutes in and they have yet to say a single thing about their so called "unique" intervention. They dismiss another study outright without saying why.
My brother has been diagnosed with lewy body dementia. My mother has cousins and she also had a grandmother with alzheimer disease. On my dad’s side, he had a brother with parkinson’s with dementia. I worry about getting dementia also.
PS: Treatment makes Money, Cures do not make continual Money. Medicine and the Medical System is about Money and making Lots of It!!!!!
Chronically elevated glucose, and lack of saturated fat (essential building blocks for nervous system), as in those not following a ketogenic diet, is what causes inflammation in the brain and all other areas of the body.
I love the passion you two have for what you do in the cognitive health field people like you is where my hope for finding solutions will be, not medicine 💊 💉 thanks
Super inspiring !!
Isolating old folks and everyone wearing masks killed many people. Hard of hearing people do way more lip reading than we can imagine, and they didn’t venture out even as much as they might have.
My dad was in an assisted living during Covid, he used to go to the gym there consistently almost daily. Because of Covid he was confined to his room, not allowed to go to the gym, and was not allowed visitors. Horrid. Then he got the vaccination a year later and died four months after that.
@@cathy3951I’m so sorry that happened to you & your Dad. And mad…
Could genetics like a MTHFR mutation (causing problems with homocysteine, different B Vitamins, etc.) be a risk factor?
This is the first time I have heard of oxygen cycling, but it makes sense as a hormetic trigger. Thanks for the info!
What a wonderful interview - thank you🙏🌺❤️☘️
Great lecture but I think you need to be more careful with your words-instead of saying Alzheimer's can be reversed perhaps you could say Alzheimer's can often be reversed, or Alzheimer's can sometimes be reversed-otherwise it seems like clickbait, since statistically you know it cannot always be reversed depending upon their cognitive level at the start, just saying.
Great information
I am grateful and impressed by the courage you are showing by fact-checking big pharma, and pursuing the truth. I am eager to learn more about any specific long-COVID protocols that may be developing, and have started to search for providers who offer contrast oxygen therapy. Thank you so much.
Hello 👋Beautiful Lady 🌹..How are you and the weather condition like ?
Look into iver.mec.tin. even doses a year later can help with c.o.vid. detoxing and binders. Florida drs were treating successfully. Only 1- 2 NY drs, because NY dept of health blocked access.
Lifestyle intervention is what it takes to stop these people from going down the path that they're going down. Majority of people are not willing to change their lifestyle voluntarily even when there longevity is on the line. I care for an elderly man and he doesn't want to hear anything about his diet or lack of exercise or lack of sleep or anything else that he's doing wrong. 😢
Really, show me one documented case. If this were true there would be works famous clinics treating rich people from around the world at enormous profit.
Alzheimer's is basically type 3 diabetes. That's why it affects those with 2 two ApoE4's the worst. Prevention is the key. Proper nutrition can reduce the risk up to 80%.
I believe there is more and more research.
Check out Bredesen’s The End of Alzheimer’s book as well.
Good that this is accessible, hopefully insurance will be covering this type of protocol soon!
You say that but I treated my own lupus with diet, I’d already signed myself out of hospital over a decade earlier and if I went back they would just say I didn’t have ana and not treat me. No one was like wow you treated yourself, even if I mention what I was doing they just give you a look and move you along. I don’t think it works like that. My friends dad is still around after 9 years after being given a few months to live but no doctor is interested in the lifestyle things he did they just consider it a medical miracle kind of thing.
How did you treat your lupus?
You are exactly right on the type 3 diabetes. If people stop eating sugar, your body will heal.
Is there testing for people whose first language is other than English? My dad kicked cancer 2x. (The cancer had migrated to his right frontal lobe (initially lung) he has a successful surgery to remove the tumor. Followed by one more brain surgery 6+ yrs ago for a non-cancerous mass in the same frontal lobe). Now years later- the neurologist did testing in English (but he is going back to his first language - Greek). They tell us the imaging doesn’t show “Alzheimer’s” or dementia) but shows short term memory loss. I’m desperately looking for answers for my father. He fought cancer like a champ & it’s devastating to see him crawl into a shell because he knows his short term memory is not functioning well. He owns a business & doesn’t want to slow down. Any help/guidance would be a blessing 🙏🏽
Dale Bredesen, Apollo Health: 1 monotherapy is Nobel Prize worthy!💙
I'm 62, m, & I've been on the carnivore diet for 6 months, & have, no negative effects from it that I notice, only good ones! How would I know anyway if I had Alzheimers, or memory loss? I've told my kids to watch for any changes, or deterioration in my behaviour, or my demeanour. So far no indication, & I see them often.
It had been suggested that Alzheimers should be called Type 3 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes can be cured by the carnivore diet, so why can't Type 3?
I guess, obviously, if other factors can cause it, other than diet, then changing the diet may not fix it?
Regardless, surely the brain, being the most precious part of our body, in a way, should be strongly protected from external damage, & external pathogens entering it?
Or does the CD protect the brain from the influence of these other factors? - Besides the actual physical injury to the brain, via a major head injury, of course.
Any research on prolonged fasting and prevention of dementia?
Yes there are a lot! We had a documentary here in Sweden don’t remember were it was form but yes it’s very effective but it’s hard to make the older people to understand this
Fasting is what people did before modern times out of lack of food, when cancer and Alzheimers were super rare. No research needed, just a knowledge of our past and the old world.
@@gaiacielo5090
Please post the link of the research
Basically works by those people not consuming fructose during the fast. Eating foods not containing fructose would work just as well.
So you think you should starve the shrinking brain and deny it essential nutrients? Would you starve a sick perason? That's just stupid.
Love this interview and the work and energy you are all putting together for the betterment of humans quality of life .
82 almost this my interest because I don’t want it…. Alzheimer’s
1. Keep your glucose reading down
2. Do weight resistance and cardio
3 Eat high protein. Now I did exercise up until last year much better at walking but fell on hard concrete hit my Greater Trochanter broke my femoral stem. Repaired with anterior hip replacement still on cane . I can walk sans cane but it is my security. I do four miles per day but idea is in my head that I may wear out this titanium joint???
