Disrupting dementia -- Patient Zero -- How does it feel to come back from dementia? -- How to give yourself Alzheimer's: A primer -- Wit's end: From bedside to bench and back -- The God gene and the three types of Alzheimer's disease -- The "cognoscopy": Where do you stand? -- ReCODE: Reversing cognitive decline -- Success and the social network: Two people's daily routines -- Putting it all together: You can do it -- This is not easy: Workarounds and crutches -- Resistance to change: Machiavelli meets Feynman.
Summary: Everyone knows someone who has survived cancer, but no one knows anyone who has survived Alzheimer's Disease. Dale Bredesen, MD, offers hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive decline. Arguing that AD is not one condition, as it is currently treated, but three, Bredesen outlines 36 metabolic factors (micronutrients, hormone levels, sleep) that can trigger "downsizing" in the brain. He then shows us how to rebalance these factors using lifestyle modifications like taking B12, eliminating gluten, or improving oral hygiene.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Everyone knows someone who has survived cancer, but until now no one knows anyone who has survived Alzheimer's Disease.In this paradigm shifting book, Dale Bredesen, MD, offers real hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer's Disease and cognitive decline. Revealing that AD is not one condition, as it is currently treated, but three, The End of Alzheimer's outlines 36 metabolic factors (micronutrients, hormone levels, sleep) that can trigger 'downsizing' in the brain. The protocol shows us how to rebalance these factors using lifestyle modifications like taking B12, eliminating gluten, or improving oral hygiene. The results are impressive. Of the first ten patients on the protocol, nine displayed significant improvement with 3-6 months; since then the protocol has yielded similar results with hundreds more. Now, The End of Alzheimer's brings new hope to a broad audience of patients, caregivers, physicians, and treatment centers with a fascinating look inside the science and a complete step-by-step plan that fundamentally changes how we treat and even think about AD.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 457-465).
