I worked at UCLA for 34 years and I was used to high quality researchers and docs like you are. I actually did some of these techniques on my Dad years ago and they were amazingly helpful. However he had a fall and ended up in an unscrupulous LTAC that held him as a medical captive and fed him high carbs (cheap food with zero nutrition), dehydrated him and refused to let us give him his supplements or low carb diet. Our excellent treatment of Dad got him to an active 96 years old. My Mom had to endure the same medical assault. I worked for the Chief of Staff at UCLA and was given part one of the Urology Boards as a trial. I passed with flying colors. So where exactly are these modern docs educated....off shore? The are horrifically ignorant and intellectually lazy. They are just eugenecists, not doctors..and are peddling death. I want your type of medicine back...treating the cause, not drug pushing. You give me hope that we can clean up our toxic soup and heal ourselves as well. Congratulations on being a shining example of what medicine is supposed to be!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A "REAL" DOCTOR!!!!!! Bravo to you!!! What a breath of fresh air reading your comment was!!! So happy for your family, I'm so glad you were able to keep your parents healthy... when you could obviously! I can't tell you enough how happy I am that I know good doctors are still out there trying to do the real work of healing people!!! Don't ever give up! ❤❤❤❤
That happens to so many good elderly people. It’s criminal, well it should be. People work their whole life building the infrastructure that we all benefit from and then predators disguised as caregivers are allowed to take advantage of them when they become older.
If an elderly person doesn’t give “power of attorney” to a trustworthy family member and they sign a document while confused, they are there for life and often the rest home sells their house to bill beyond what Medicare/Medicaid will pay. I don’t care if you are the patient or the family of the patient, NEVER sign a single form while you or a loved one is in the care of a rest home. You don’t have to sign anything. They will try to shame you, they will try to intimidate you, but the only difference a signature makes in the care is becoming trapped and stealing a person’s net worth and their children’s inheritance. If you sign for a loved one, they will even put a lien on your home and send you a bill for thousands a day. If you don’t pay, they will take your home. Criminal. When my mom went into Brandel Manor, they yelled us, tried to shame and intimidate me and my family, but we all refused to sign, so they got nothing but what Medicare would pay and our mother was released back to us in 45 days. I don’t think we had to even threaten them with an attorney.
In India , few years ago when we followed our traditional family value systems , Dementia as a disease was seen in elderly people especially after they lost their partners , an emotional distress that they couldn’t deal with.. My mum recently succumbed to dementia after being alone in the house for over 10 years because we children were away pursuing our careers. Ever since we are back and her emotional support has improved,she’s showing recovery. Unfortunately the underlying cause of her dementia turned out to be medically proven Alzheimer’s. She wasn’t exposed to any toxin as we live in a village with everything sourced locally. I truly feel the emotional aspect of human behaviour too has a lot to do with this disease.
Very interesting share indeed. Many thanks. I would agree with you 100%, especially in cultures where families are big and generations of family have traditionally stayed in close contact-if not remaining in the same house. As you know, isolation can easily bring on depression, and emotional / psychological depression is like a powerful gatekeeper who prevents entrance of light, beauty, gratitude, enjoyment and a soul-centered existence into one's field of consciousness.
I’m 70, no existing medical conditions, no drugs, even over the counter, exercise regularly and working to keep it that way with the help of videos and information like this. Thank you, great info, just wish there weren’t so many ads.
At the age of 41 I was diagnosed with ms related dementia; im 43 now. Utterly shocking, but because of my lesions on the brain. I have spent the last two years taking vitamins, changing my diet, exercising etc and even now I am looking at taking some peptides to boost my brain power. One thing I have noticed after two years, I’m walking further and farther; I still need to sit down and rest, but it’s so amazing to find the power to walk; without my walking stick. I was on ms meds last September and October. In February there were no new lesions and I’m hoping this months MRI will show the same. Videos like this give me motivation to pay for something outside what my neurologist will provide. They never tell you to take certain vitamins to boost your brain power or to boost your energy levels. My fatigue it’s still an issue but I’m improving; I’m getting better. But as with ms, I still have my odd day when I feel like 🤬, but I’m a fighter not a quitter. Thank you 🙏🏼
any particular vitamins you would recommend ? My grandma has dementia and I would love to give her some vitamins , she doesn't eat much , no sickness ,great shape for her age but has dementia so she doesn't see much sun these days . Same as me who is 24 , I don't see much sun and I hope it wouldn't affect me much .
My Mom may she rest in peace. She was a diabetic, with dementia and Alzheimer’s. When we restricted her sugar and the carbs her memory would come back and her diabetes was reduced. However she would hunt out any sugar she could find and then revert to memory loss again. Eventually she died from a blood infection post heart surgery. I think avoiding sugar has many health benefits including reducing memory loss.
spændende læsning om din mor. Sukker er ikke usundt hvis du ikke har diabetes, men det skal naturligvis kun spises i fornuftige mængder....mådeholdt er en god ting for ældre mennesker
My grandpa had Alzheimer s it started age 85. He lived to be 88. He would eat up anything sweet quicker than a kid. Sugar was something he would eat by the tablespoon and lots of it...Cutting out sugar sure has a lot of long term benefits first of all reducing overall inflammation in the body which leads to most chronic illnesses...
Sugar sounds more addictive & deadly than US government's border FENTANYL.. It's sad to see nothing can be done about USA awful food that is destroying lives along with brain washed doctors who do what ever cdc fda & Marxist us gov demands of them in health care treatment. Remove soy, sugar, corn from our foods & stop gmo.
Sorry to hear of your Mothers struggles. Sugar drives dopamine( the feel good pursuit neurotransmitter) and yeast( candida ) likes and can promote further cravings toward seeking out sugar. With lots of antibiotics and preservatives in our foods these days would the bacteria/yeast balance in the gut get put out of balance, I think so.
Dementia comes in Cycles, with memories coming and going all the time. Dementia and Alzheimer’s are incurable though since they cause Brain Atrophy (brain shrinkage) and this is irreversible.
My dad was diagnosed at 60 with Alzheimer’s his mom was 40… I do not allow any of the Alzheimer’s meds recommended by neurologist and feed him a healthy diet along with edible at night before bed and he is 78 healthy strong and STABLE!
You're doing a great job, sadly I only realised after having lost my Father and my Mother was pretty sick that the medical industry is just for profit. I'm 61 and take no drugs, most people I know are not well and take a cocktail of drugs rather than ensure a good diet and exercise! My Mother died from cancer after having fluid in her abdomen for about a year, the hospital never told us and refused to remove the fluid when we asked almost a month before she died.
Years ago I saw a film about a group of nuns who were very aged but used to keep active and used their hands and fingers a lot playing cards together, using their rosaries and usual daily activities. They donated their brains to science when they died and several of the brains showed signs of alzheimer's yet they did not have any symptoms when alive. I found this most interesting as I am a reflexology practitioner and have also worked in a care/hospital environment, also my dad has Parkinsons disease. It got me thinking that it is really important to keep using your hands and fingers and this is something that elderly people stop doing as their movements slow and joints become stiffer. In reflexology your brain reflexes are the very tips of your fingers and toes and I think it is worth pressing down hard on a table or pen or using a rosary or beads every day to help stimulate the brain.
How do you know the Nuns had no signs of Alzheimer's? Did you observe them? If ALL the Nuns had Alzheimer's how would they see the signs of Alzheimer's in the others?
I'm a former pianist, and I'm fascinated by your comment about the connection between the brain and the fingers and toes. I will take your wisdom to heart and return to squeezing raquetballs as a way to keep my fingers active. I should add toe scrunches! [St3-18-23-0018E]
Very interesting. Orchestral conductors are some of the longest living people and I believe the theory is they get a lot of e exercise,not much sitting and waiving their arms helps lymphatic drainage. Don't think any if this is proven. They also use their fingertips a lot. Wonder if pianists and other musicians who press their fingers on keys live longer?
That was when they proved it wasn’t amyloid tangles that cause Alzheimer’s. Several autopsies showed this. BUT pharmaceuticals had meds for amyloid plaque so the truth was suppressed and has continued to be suppressed. It isn’t amyloid. I would find other videos on dementia and Alzheimer’s here on TH-cam.
This a what is real doctor is all about. My traditional doctor prescribes drugs to mitigate symptoms of illness, but it did not cure my health problem. Example: I have high cholesterol, my doctor prescribes statin drugs. Instead, I changed to a natural whole foods low carb diet and cardiovascular daily exercise and it worked all without the need for prescription drugs. I also reversed Type 2 diabetes at the same time.
The vast majority of physicians have no clue. All they know to do is prescribe pharmaceuticals, and when side effects occur, they prescribe more pharmaceuticals, and that continues and continues. Polypharmacy solves nothing; it only creates more problems.
Every time I listen to Dr. Bredesen speak I am celebrating so much of what he says especially when it comes to the new detective of medicine talk! EDIT: It would be amazing for this talk to be updated with how the science in 2023 is focusing on INSULIN SENSITIVITY in Alz, Parkinson's, MS and other neuro motor dysfunctions. Alzheimer’s is a lifelong degradation and there’s no way anybody’s gonna create a clinical model of exactly every single decision a person made when it came to diet and lifestyle for their entire life! What this world needs is a massive shift back to the simpler times when we were in good community with people we cared about we laughed every day we exercised every day we ate whole food not processed crap, and we embraced aging in a way that celebrates the wisdom we gain and understands when we need to move slower and things change and skin sags and we celebrate the beauty of it all! That will be a healthy society and people will go back to enjoying life and loving each other in this incredible experience we call “being human”.
I am 25 minutes into this discussion. So far there hasn’t been any mention of protocols or behaviors. Do they ever discuss any of that or is it just a meta discussion about the state of neuroscience and medicine practice? I’m hoping for some practical advice. By the way, this is the second talk I’ve heard from this doctor and the first one didn’t mention anything either. Where can I actually hear about what he’s proposing? I’m not trying to be antagonistic, but at some point, I’d like to hear some practical advice.
I was told i had early alzheimer years ago. I cut out beer, wine, chip, candy, soda, all junk food. I eat more "normal" food. Veg, fruit, rice, fish, chicken, do a lot of yardwork, sunshine, housework, walk my pooch, read, puzzle, music, very little tv, junk food, no alcohol. My memory, skin, hair, teeth, gum, weight, mood, has improved
@amygiles1727 1st 2 weeks maybe without alcohol was the hardest. Still not drinking. Oh wow 9 months no alcohol. But was also in treatment program which occupied most of my day. That's ending soon. I'm nervous with all the free time
I am from São Paulo, Brasil!!! 68 years and I have Alzheimer...THANKS FOR THE PRIVILEGE TO BE ABLE TO LISTEN TO SUCH A WONDERFUL DOCTORS GOD BLESS BOTH OF YOU
In Brazil, you should have access to natural foods and stay away from processed foods. Consider taking some supplements like vitamin D and B's. Keep your waste line THIN!!! Diet is important, so keep your weight in line.
It would be so helpful if you put a link in all of your podcasts that list the lab tests needed (outside of the standard panel), link to cognoscopy, preventative steps to take, any suggested supplements. It’s tedious to try to find this basic info again in the podcasts. Thank you
Olive leaf extract, Gingko biloba, Siberian ginseng(Eleuthero), grassfed beef and raw dairy, unrefined coconut oil, -and this video mentioned whole coffee fruit extract, and Citicoline (choline) plus pastured eggs.
Yes : inability to learn a foreign language / spell, seizure disorder started in Colorado at 5000 ft. Failed first grade. Raised in Cleveland. Currently on KETO - thank you for your research and concern.
I love the discussion here! I have a sister who has been dealing with what they are now calling Alzheimer's for the last 10 years. She has progressed to a stage where she is in a memory facility. I have researched and understand so much of what you are talking about. The problem is, most of the people who run the "so-called medical system" in this country, don't have a clue. This includes one of the hospitals she had a stay in that categorized their neurologists as "World Class". This is so disturbing and laughable to me when these people don't even have a basic understanding of the multitude of things that can cause this condition. They Look at you with blank stares when you mention words like Neuroplasticity, nutrition, vitamin D, cure, and recovery😳 As you say, it is different in every person. It's not a one size fits all "disease". I, personally, would like to see us get away from the overuse of the word "disease". It connotes something you are afflicted with you never heal from. The current thinking is the best you can do is remission. I feel that is totally false information. I would much rather see a word such as "condition" used as an umbrella term. It is a more hopeful one which suggest healing/recovery is possible.
.................I saw a study on dementia and Alzheimer's and the evidence showed a lack of oxygen to be the culprit. Older people sleep in closed rooms and the oxygen level can drop to 30% of normal from the isolation. There are plants famous for their production of oxygen and they inhale carbon dioxide, while increasing the oxygen, in a bedroom, by 20 and 40 points!.............................
Yes Yes Yes! We have a better understanding than our doctors. We are held hostage by the docs and insurance because it is costly to get the tests needed early and we need the doc to allow us most of the tests especially if you need a functional med doc which is usually not covered by insurance.
“Condition” might be more hopeful, but good luck getting insurance reimbursement for a condition. As a disease, Alzheimer’s may get more attention and more money for research, and the medicines that result are more like to be covered by insurance, or at least stand a chance of getting covered as an actual treatment and not get lost in drs having to prescribe the medicine off label to only the wealthy. Just look at the drugs that could help with obesity. Don’t fight this semantic fight…focus on the best way to get the most help for Alzheimer’s patients at a reasonable cost.
So awesome to see a focus on early intervention and root causes. Let’s work on cures rather than symptom management!! Wonderful interview and amazing work!
This is revolutionary research and medicine!! Thank you ! Why is the mainstream media not reporting on this incredible work that could save millions from misery? Why is is restricted to you tube and Podcats? Dr Bredesen should be interviewed on CNN and the BBC and other global broadcasters. It’s wilful blindness and negligence by the medical establishment to ignore these findings. It would be so helpful if you could link to for centres for cognoscopy and an outline of the protocol. Thank you 🙏
'big'pharma, all the 'big' industry's in fact can't gain gazillions of dirty dollars with healthful protocols. They prefer to take, take and take until our financial usefulness is depleted and gone, than we live. Mr P, doctors like you, Dr B and many others are bravely stepping one foot in front of the other carrying truth to those who listen. I'd like to be in one of Dr B's next human studies.
Thanks, I'm a senior citizen who is trying to increase my likelihood of survival. And I'm trying to zero in a bit more about Alzheimer's. Look forward to more articles like this one.
This gives me such hope!!! Fear is a constant companion when you don't have this information. I wish I had known this when my mother started showing signs of decline, we lost her, slowly, in 2017....I am now armed and ready to fight!! THANK YOU.
NO NEED TO FIGHT ...just KNOW you are healthy inside and out and do not be prey to any other story. Most people do NOT get alzheimers and with dietary changes its easy peasy
My mum got Alzheimer 6 years ago. However, she accidentally recovered from Alzheimer after 2 years. We had no clue how she got recovered. She woke up one day, and showed everything ok.
@@gurjeetsingh-gd1wr Not sure. She just recovered and returned to her old normal stage. She stopped behaving abnormally. She stopped saying non sensible things, she stopped imaging things. She just simply back to normal.
I think the increase in toxins coming at us from every possible avenue play a large part in so many surcoming to Alzheimers, Parkinsons, ALS etc etc. I do a lot of research on this subject and I can say without a doubt it's probably the leading cause. Knowledge is power. There are many things we can do on a daily basis to avoid some of them. The toxins in the air are problematic though. I do what I can and avoid what I can and pray about what I can't control.
I wish Dr Bresnan would research the emotional triggers of Alzheimers. My friends came on at age 50 almost immediately after loosing her son. She quickly could not remember things or add numbers whereas she had been a high functioning manager included working with numbers and coordinating ordering of supplies She is now in the last stages of the disease. No one on either side of her family ever had Alzheimers. It's like her brain just willed itself to try and forget everything. She spent the first 3 or 4 years crying daily for her son until she started to forget that he died on most days. One would think there is absolutely nothing positive about dementia but at least it finally gave her some relief from such profound sorrow. For several years, we could watch some old TV show she remembered and she could laugh. It was nice to see her laugh again, even though her Alzheimers was pretty bad by then. Her mind is mostly gone now. I think just waiting for the day she sees her sweet boy again.
It can be more in life style. People with shocks should not react by changing their behavior - they need to stay active and healthy - mentally and physically. Cope with losses; stay healthy!!!
Thank you, thank you Dr Perlmutter! Started following you when my son who is a MD handed me your book “Grain Brain”. With family and friends all around us have Alzheimer’s, correct information is sooo necessary. Please continue to give us more info every person on earth in our present times need by giving us that “right fit”💕
at 7:05 when he talks about chopping the legs off, my mom's hip surgeon cut off her bone so she would walk straight. Insane!! She has scoliosis and should have gone to a chiropractor, not cut off her bone in her leg!!!! My brother has scoliosis and Parkinson's. The spine has a lot to do with brain conditions. In my mom's case I'm sure it's the spine, poor diet and her botched surgery causing inflammation. She's in a nursing home and I had to call the doctor to ask him to check her insulin resistance. Naturopaths and Chiropractors seem to be the only ones listening but they don't take Medicare or Medicaid so I had to pay for her diagnosis and then send results to her regular doctor. Everything my mom has can be cured with diet. What if nursing homes understood this. We might have a lot more seniors that are well. Dr Berg gives healthy keto lessons so I'm doing that for myself.
I really don't think nursing homes and assisted living homes are interested in improving their clients' health. They're interested in money, and in keeping clients in their facilities. .
Many of our modern day diseases were rare 120 years ago. I believe a direct result of over consumption of sugar, processed flour, and seed oils ( Veg. Oils) these 3 are the main ingredients of processed foods. Turns out Grandma was right, "You are what you eat."
Do not forget meat! Meat of any kind is another big source of toxins that slowly destroy out body, physical mind and immune system. Also there is another very important aspect that greatly influence deterioration of the body. And very few people actually understand and comprehend that! Mental attitude toward self and others! Negative emotions destroy you from within!
Thank you doctor from Peru, excellent interview, very valuable information. I remember during my medical training at the university, the information i received about Alzheimer disease maked it looks like there was nothing we could do to improve the condition of patients suffering from this terrible desease.
From my point of view, Alzhiemer's is a cluster of symptoms resulting from one or more dietary, lifestyle, environmental or psychological / emotional influences. In this sense Alzheimer's is not a disease in the same way, for instance, that typhoid or cholera are. The same goes for cancer. Nothing but symptoms. I live in Southern California, but I've lived in México too and had daily contact with la gente del campo, fuera de la cordillera. These people do not express any modern diseases so prevalent in the USA. Even the city-dwellers of San Miguel de Allende [Guanajuato] told me that city people get sick often and suffer from today's diseases-but not the indigenous peoples. I wonder if that is true in Perú too? I can't imagine the Shipibo people, and other Ameroindians suffering from Alzheimer's, Parkenson's Dementia or Lewy Body Dementia unless they've been addicted to drugs like heroin.
@@higherresolution4490 I think you make a great point but should look into Germ Theory and Terrain Theory, Dr Sam Bailey has videos in this regard. Germ theory drives profit for big pharma.
@@1960ARC Many thanks. I'll look for Dr. Sam Bailey today. There's a new expression going around these days : "The pharmaceutical-industrial complex". This movement started with Bayer [in the mid-1950's after I.G. Farben had been dissolved into its original 4 German chemical company constituents]. One of the divisions had been Bayer. The scientists from "Operation Paperclip" in the USA, and the Bayer gang after release from prison, stated that they had lost the battle but not the war [WWII]. Hence, they developed a plan called Codix Alimentarious that would control the world via propaganda as education, pharmaceuticals, chemicals added to food, pestacides, herbacides, fungacides and [eventually] genetic modification. Quite an interesting time to be alive!
This is such a great video, thank you!! I discovered Keto and intermittent fasting (Dr Fung, Dr. Lustig, Dr Berg, Dr Pelz etc) because I had an incredible pain in my gut. It was desperation. Now I’m learning so much about the connection of metabolism and health, mental and physical. You guys are amazing to step outside the circle of wagons as medical specialised doctors and experts and care about the general health of the population and the specific health of the brain. All roads lead back to an overwhelming of the system by overeating and over processed carbs and sugar… to someone like me, this is a parallel universe where optimum health exists but we can’t reach it …. And now I discover from you guys that extreme optimum health is free. THANK YOU!!!! 👏 🎉🥳👏👏👏👏❤
I've a mild cognitive impairment thats related to my lesions. I changed my diet, exercise but mostly believe in the power of intentional positive thoughts and visualisatio, in affecting the inner workings of our body.
Wow aging backwards is on my agenda... in 2 months I'll be 80...perfect timing. Because with lyme and having had my 1st pfizer vaccine one month ago accompanied by 3.5 weeks of reactions....i definitely need to rebuild mitochondria and age backward! Thank you to our dear Dr. Perlmutter...👵💜
I also had a bad "cold which progressed to laryngitis and strep throat after my 1st Pfizer covid shot. At 5 weeks my dr office called in azithromycin antibiotic which finally cleared up my "symptoms" within 9 days. The person that gives the vaccine at the 2nd dose almost 9mo later now, says that the vaccine wouldn't cause that. I am glad to hear someone else confirm a similar experience. My pcp said some of his patients got sick after their shot & others did not. He thinks perhaps some of us were asymptomatic when we got our shot. But says it's the only hypothesis he can think of so far. The 2nd vax my doc told me to call him if I got sick again after 7-10 days of getting my vax. Fortunately this time I only had mild "flu-like" symptoms for 3days & then 3 more days of the hoarseness, fatigue, & mild fever. Did anyone else experience long flu/allergy/ laryngitis for 2 or more weeks After their vaccine ? And need antibiotics to "get over" this ? (Being healthy beforehand).
Another fascinating discussion Dr P. I am pleased Dr D included suggestions at the end for keeping a healthy brain. They were a tonic after hearing the frightening info you gave at the 1hr mark, on the chemicals Parkinson disease researchers use to induce the disease in mice, that is available in the gardening section at the hardware store for use in the veggie patch. I may not sleep tonight.
It can be done. I got my mum cured from dementia and alzheimers. I slowly got her off all the dozeens of pills these doctors fed her and after a bit her mind was cleared. She went into a seniors home to live and they refused to make sure she drank water. If I gave her water her memory cleared. They said she only wants coffee. I was fighting a losing battle. These senior's homes take on people who know nothing, don't speak or understand a lot of english and our seniors are left to look after themselves for big money and no proper care. During Covid the workers kept bringing Covid into the home because they all live together and pass it to each other. I get frustrated with people who call themselves nurses, doctors and care workers. Money is the name of the game with doctors and the caregivers are all in for a paycheck. My mother is 91 and a very healthy woman who lacks water and decent meals
My parents were in expensive "retirement" homes--same thing--even tho I pointed out they were dehydrating them, they didn't care at all. And they were constantly pushing sugar-wheat-seed oil processed products throughout the day. Clearly supporting health was not in their business plan.
Watching my aunt with alzheimer's just lay in bed all day, unable to walk and barely able to talk was very disturbing to me. We were glad when she just recently passed, so that she wasn't in that shape anymore.
.1 What every doctor coming out of medical school in the 60's and 70's was taught to do-find the cause of the illness and treat it - now has to be done at an exponentially higher cost by a functional medicine doctor. 2. A timeline of diseases as it relates to environmental changes (which Europe and Russia have banned) would be so much quicker and give a clear picture of why people are always sick. 3.While they are wasting time trying to create diseases in animals to mimic humans so they can find a pill to treat it, just advocate to ban glyphosate from the soil and our food, fluoride from our water and dangerous toxins in vaccines.
It seems to me that way too many doctors have difficulty looking for and/or finding "cause" and, instead, focus on pharmaceutical prescriptions, and that creates problem upon problem.
you are 100% with Glyphosate AMPA POEA in Food Water Air Soil OCEANS Manatees have the same issue of COVID actually THEY HAVE COVID Autopsy Manatee next to COVID Human - PROOF or PROVE ME WRONG
At MINUTE 32:00, I wonder if availing oneself to a SPECT Scan at one of Dr. Daniel Amen's clinics would be better than an MRI? I think the SPEC would show more detail, especially because it displays in real time. Not crazy about the radiation levels of either ...
I just had a spect scan Amen clinic Chicago I have brain atrophy on mri. Amen clinic putting together an integrative plan for brain health. The spect scan shows vascular changes and inflammatory changes my pattern not clearly Alzheimer’s I did find value in the process and plan.
@@jc10907Sealy Excellent decision on your part, Sealy. The success Dr. Amen has had with celebral physiological insults, like the success of Dr. Bredesen, is outstanding. If Dr. Amen can turn around severe cases of brain inflammation and damage experienced by retired Pro NFL players, a case like yours ought to be, more or less, straight forward. Success for sure. Just be completely consistent with the program-the hard part. This will sound rediculously simplistic, but do make sure your electrolyte levels are sufficient, and in connection to this, that you are fully hydrated everyday. Hydaration is impossible without sufficient electrolytes. Dehydration of the brain comes with many symptoms, including foggy thinking and inflammation. Hopefully Dr. Amen checked for Type III diabetes [cerebral diabetes].
I do agree that we can test at home some basic metrics, but I feel a big miss in our healthcare system is to get cheap and readily accessible blood tests.
Thanks what a show, my son was falling down after getting covit and he started with a juice diet lot's of green veggies for a whole month drinking lots of water he stop drinking, he lost 30 lb he came back to life ,he also had suicidal thoughts he started talking Brand vitamins, coilatle silver, poor body extract drops for cleansing thank you
Both you and Dr Bredesen are highly educated in nutritional health... This was an extremely interesting conversation, and if I could only utilise part of what was discussed, I'd be far healthier. I did like the statement regarding treatment:- "It's like re-building a house, whilst it's still on fire"... That is so true with doctors who have no clue about nutrition.
Also over processed foods delete vitamins and minerals that the body needs to rebuild and keep the body running correctly. The body keeps trying to keep everything running correctly but when we feed the body with poisons it messes up the immune system
Thanks for the great interview. Could you do an interview or podcast on pneumonia since there are not very many informative and preventative videos out there. Thanks.
Thank you for this very Informative update. The take home message was Priceless-- Metabolic Flexibility: Three Pillars which can be subdivided will starve off Alzheimer, Dementia and host of other age related diseases. Worth listening to over to get the full impact. I highly recommend you continue doing interviews with scientists who are at the forefront. One recommendation which would take effort : If you can link references so that we can read those research studies as well.
What about the toxin alcohol? Alcohol is also very high in sugar. But also we know the effects of alcohol on the brain ie look at the memory problems caused when people are 'intoxicated'. Also, we are fully aware of the damage caused to the brains of the developing foetus when women drink alcohol in pregnancy ie the lifelong disabilities of the affected children (FASD - Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders) including adhd, asd, learning disabilities etc. There is also a strong correlation with the fact that more women than men get alzheimer's and currently women are drinking more alcohol than men. Also, women are being encouraged to continue to drink throughout their lifetime ie not just as teens but in their 50's, 60's and 70's etc with the advent of boutique wine bars as opposed to the old fashioned pubs which were historically frequented by men.
I'm 75 and I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes and I have been following many well-known resources and videos on control of blood-sugar etc. However, I have always been slim so I had the test for antibodies to see if I'm type 1.5. results were negative but I'm sure I'm not producing enough insulin (as apposed to being insulin resistant). So where do I go from here? I am on very low carb diet and walk 4 to 5 miles each day?
Just adding my experience to the mix. My Mum got Alzheimer's in the 80's and it seemed to coincide with a fat free diet fad at the time. In hindsight it was a dairy free diet. No milk, butter etc...When she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, doctors "doubled down" on a dairy free diet and she had nothing fatty to make it easier for my Dad to maneuver her. Nothing would have alerted me if it was not for about 1 yr before her death they said she may as well enjoy life so took her off the diet. To me, I noticed there were noticeable improvements in her behaviour - like a light and life came back to her. To me I always wondered if fat was an important part of our diet. This clip seems very convoluted to me. Eat dairy.
I don't know how bad dairy is, but healthy fats are now regarded as being very beneficial to our overall health. High quality (non oxidized via processing and storage) omega 3 fats as well as a good quality olive oil are both considered to be protective and supportive of good health. This is widely held by most functional docs to be a cornerstone of good nutrition as the fats improve our absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.
My grandmother was sharp as a tack drinking whole milk, eating real butter, eggs, and bacon at 91. My Mom lived to 93, only had cognitive issues when she had a UTI, and then a couple doses into an antibiotic run, fog always lifted. She saw a stellar urologist after recurring UTIs, who prescribed she take oil of oregano drops in olive oil twice a week, and 2 NOW brand d-mannose cranberry pills 3x/day. No more episodes or UTIs.
It was first known 100 years ago that common diseases could be caused by a LACK of nutrition. Prior to that it was assumed that invasive viruses & bacteria caused disease (which is of course true in many cases, but not all). Thank you Dr Bredesen!
My brother was diagnosed and treated for Parkinson's for over 10 years, but died of undiagnosed Gliablastoma. I have no idea if he ever had an MRI. I suggest if you have a loved one with Parkinson's, insist on an MRI. Maybe also Alzheimer's.😢
I thrive on sunlight... warmth helps... grown your own food, eat right out of the garden instead of a fridge... amazing what you can do with dirt... and avoid stupid harmful toxic people with bad karma...
Same here! I grow my own food, LOVE working in my garden and I cycle every day (I'm also a gym instructor, so I'm so happy to interact w/people and spread positivity around 😊 ). Simple things are the foundation of happiness and health! Thank you for this great discussion, Dr. P!! 💟
“Cognoscopy” noted , let’s see if I can convince my GP 😄 It consists of 3 steps; 1.Bloods tests looking for inflammation markers, HMR(?), insulin sensitivity, Vit D and hormones reduction, Uric acids levels. 2.Online Cognitive assessment (if test is not positive go to point 3) 3.MRI, include volumetrics.gey area volume, hypocampus volume, cortisol vs hypocampus balances .. Also important to check nocturnal oxygenation, and other things I missed 🤷🏽♀️
Hi Gretchen, I experienced and observed too many incidents of misdiagnosis and mistreatment before I entered University and unfortunately across a long international career (over 50 years). Quite often I would discuss this problem with senior civil and military doctors, including the head of a national health service and other highly capable doctors, including those of a hospital that I once supervised. That anecdotal experience spanned a wide range of age groups and doctors from North America, UK, Western Europe, Russia, several high-capability Asia countries, Africa and Australia. Whilst I observed cultural, and educational-cultural differences impacting methodologies in diagnosis and personalization of treatment, neither that, nor generational changes seem to be dominant. Highly informed, perceptive doctors with a ‘determined detective’ attitude, richly informed by observations and tests were the close colleagues of doctors, seemingly sadly lacking in those characteristics. So if I would point to something that is systematically lacking, it would probably be the posture reinforced through education and early practice, and whether that posture is actively reinforced by both colleagues and the media of the profession. The importance of professions refreshing their colleagues’ attitudes and capabilities is continues to increase, and it seems to me to be vital to our changing direction on Alzheimer’s, diabetes, aging and longevity, as well as our general ability to promote health and disease prevention, alongside more efficient and effective support to our demographically aging populations. The contribution from an informed and empathetic community is also important. I endorse Dr. Shruti Sood’s anecdotal observations of the strong impact of vibrant social activity interaction in the cultures where that is still rich and strong, versus solitary existence with aging, with lack of intellectual nourishment, mental and physical exercise and lack of diversity and healthy nutrition. My own mother used to bounce back physically and mentally within days and weeks of me receiving advice from her doctors that she was rapidly declining possibly near death, and then taking the family and grandchildren to her, all through her mid-80s into early 90s. A huge regret is that there was then a protracted time when it was more difficult for me to go to my homeland and spend time with her and she rapidly deteriorated in a modern (Australian) home with good medical staff, but with, I think, a negative feedback loop on social interaction, fluids, management, and nutrition and activity, so that she passed away in a highly deteriorated cognitive state at the age of 97. She was wonderfully supported by my retired sister that lived not far away, and was professionally experienced in care for the aged, but that is different to the intensity of interaction and range of intellectual and physical activity in a traditional extended family environment. I am 74 and so fortunate to benefit from an environment that is socially, physically, intellectually and nutritionally stimulating in so many ways. My mental bandwidth seems to be higher than when I was 18 when certain ‘social motivations’ possibly over-focused my attentions.
Mother has dementia and she lives in Germany. I am looking forward to learning more about this and hopefully, I will be able to stop the process of her getting worse with her dementia and hopefully reverse a bit of it. This is great news. After this CORVID disaster, it is finally time to get some good news. Thanks.
I am so excited that there is NOW some hope with dementia and specifically, Alzheimer's. I was invited to a group, here in Colorado about a week ago from an MD who was teaching people how to reverse Alzheimer's. They had received your training. I was really excited and proceeded to read the instructions and sign up, until I got to the last sentence which indicated it would be $1997 for the course. Guess what? Didn't sign up--couldn't afford it!! I was upset and surprised at the cost!! I thought this would be free or at least NOT this amount.
What can we do. If doctors see patients for only a few minutes, ask questions and then say you need blood test, maybe an nuclear test or whatever is bad 10 days before next appointment and the appointment is 3 or 6 month away! it is so common that is really worrisome, we are getting sicker and sicker and then the horrible medicines that make us sicker with other problems. We spend years complaining before there is a diagnostic or treatment.
Doesn't reducing your feeding window or fasting potentially cause low blood sugar and then increasing Glutamate in the brain which basically fries the neurons, isn't this a problem if you have high levels of Glutamic acid in your labs, high Glutamate levels are implicated in many neuro or brain diseases from depression, anxiety, MS, dementia etc what say you?
I have read Dr. Dale's book . I would like to go to his clinic if that is possible . My wife was diagnosis of alzheimer in January. How do I get in contact with Dr. Dale,
I had to eat liver when I was pregnant as I could not get my iron levels up high enough otherwise. My midwife recommended grilling it with lots of onions & garlic, then, just before taking it off the heat, pour tamari sauce on it. It's almost good if you don't count the texture. Good luck!
Dr. Perlmutter and Dr. Bredesen, I'm listening to your podcast and am able to comprehend some of what you are discussing, but sorry to say, some I can not. I'm interested because my mother died with a diagnosis of Lewy Body Dimentia and now my husband and I had covid-19 last July. I was 72 and he was 82. He became so disoriented, needed hospitalization for 2 weeks in severe cognitive distress. I was told to bring him home where he could get better in his own familiar surroundings. I began to notice lasting behaviors, such as him seeing things/hallucinsations and short terms memory decline. I took him to our family MD who took him off all the medications he was placed on and to continue with at home. He was sent for Lab tests, additional cat scan, (besides the ones he had while in the hospital, including an MRI and EEG). My husband was placed on 5 mg Donepezil and only to continue with his regular meds of Atorvastatin 5 mg, Tamsulosin .4 mg and Metformin. He had dropped 40 lbs., 5-6 years ago and has kept it off. So 9 months after covid and he has gotten worse. He's gotten lost while driving twice, which resulted in having to give up his license. Most currently, he has begun to be confused in thinking/believing that I am multiple people when he refers to me as "they", or "she", and that other people are with us. He most recently has seen two doctors for a psychological evaluation and we are waiting for the results. We have known one another for 7 years and married for 3. He is a retired special ed teacher and sports coach. Prior to covid, he only showed slight forgetfulness about where he put something, or perhaps not able to recall a name, but other than that, he has always been very sociable, with weekly, golfing, playing cards, crosswords, swimming, but he's not motivated to do as much. Please tell me what I can do to help him. I need specifics. I know you mentioned diet, food supplements, along with good sleep and exercise. I will do everything I can possibly do to help him. I just really need more guidance. Thank you, Becky
In the States and at almost 60 yrs old, I never once experienced a doctor who even seemed to consider vit D levels. It was only after I connected a number of symptoms to vit D, pointed it out to a doctor, and specifically requested vit D levels be assessed, that the doctor ordered vit-D levels be drawn, and found my level to be deficient at only 11.
How can you reduce the risks of autoimmune diabetes (T1) and its impacts on the risk of Alzheimer's and other degenerative autoimmune diseases? I have had T1 for 42 years and have been pretty healthy but in the last 10 years I am noticing a decline ... thyroid disease (autoimmune antibodies detected), signs of RA... father died of Alheimer's and I am very concerned. My doctors act like all is fine or they don't have anything to offer me. I am now obese, in pain, and finding it hard to do simple exercise and work all day.
With Alzheimer's patients having such high levels of Aluminum in the brain (second only to Autistic children) why no mention of this, and how to detox from it?
My husband has been recently dealt diagnosed with ALS. He started having fasciculations after we walked through a field that had been sprayed with herbicide and not marked. can you direct me toward any research that might help? He cannot take Ryluzole due to liver impairment. They forgot to tell him to have his liver his liver enzymes checked once a month and when they finally after three months remembered, his liver enzymes were high. Now they are back to high normal.We are willing to do anything. He does not drink or smoke but he does like junk food. He is willing to give up the junk food however.
I worked at UCLA for 34 years and I was used to high quality researchers and docs like you are. I actually did some of these techniques on my Dad years ago and they were amazingly helpful. However he had a fall and ended up in an unscrupulous LTAC that held him as a medical captive and fed him high carbs (cheap food with zero nutrition), dehydrated him and refused to let us give him his supplements or low carb diet. Our excellent treatment of Dad got him to an active 96 years old. My Mom had to endure the same medical assault. I worked for the Chief of Staff at UCLA and was given part one of the Urology Boards as a trial. I passed with flying colors. So where exactly are these modern docs educated....off shore? The are horrifically ignorant and intellectually lazy. They are just eugenecists, not doctors..and are peddling death. I want your type of medicine back...treating the cause, not drug pushing. You give me hope that we can clean up our toxic soup and heal ourselves as well. Congratulations on being a shining example of what medicine is supposed to be!
Just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING A "REAL" DOCTOR!!!!!! Bravo to you!!! What a breath of fresh air reading your comment was!!!
So happy for your family, I'm so glad you were able to keep your parents healthy... when you could obviously!
I can't tell you enough how happy I am that I know good doctors are still out there trying to do the real work of healing people!!!
Don't ever give up! ❤❤❤❤
Is there I differance if caused by a head injury? I'm so sorry for what was done to your Dad.
No more witch doctors! I have had enough of what I call Al Capone medicine.
That happens to so many good elderly people. It’s criminal, well it should be.
People work their whole life building the infrastructure that we all benefit from and then predators disguised as caregivers are allowed to take advantage of them when they become older.
If an elderly person doesn’t give “power of attorney” to a trustworthy family member and they sign a document while confused, they are there for life and often the rest home sells their house to bill beyond what Medicare/Medicaid will pay.
I don’t care if you are the patient or the family of the patient, NEVER sign a single form while you or a loved one is in the care of a rest home. You don’t have to sign anything. They will try to shame you, they will try to intimidate you, but the only difference a signature makes in the care is becoming trapped and stealing a person’s net worth and their children’s inheritance. If you sign for a loved one, they will even put a lien on your home and send you a bill for thousands a day. If you don’t pay, they will take your home.
Criminal. When my mom went into Brandel Manor, they yelled us, tried to shame and intimidate me and my family, but we all refused to sign, so they got nothing but what Medicare would pay and our mother was released back to us in 45 days. I don’t think we had to even threaten them with an attorney.
In India , few years ago when we followed our traditional family value systems ,
Dementia as a disease was seen in elderly people especially after they lost their partners , an emotional distress that they couldn’t deal with..
My mum recently succumbed to dementia after being alone in the house for over 10 years because we children were away pursuing our careers.
Ever since we are back and her emotional support has improved,she’s showing recovery.
Unfortunately the underlying cause of her dementia turned out to be medically proven Alzheimer’s.
She wasn’t exposed to any toxin as we live in a village with everything sourced locally.
I truly feel the emotional aspect of human behaviour too has a lot to do with this disease.
Very interesting share indeed. Many thanks. I would agree with you 100%, especially in cultures where families are big and generations of family have traditionally stayed in close contact-if not remaining in the same house.
As you know, isolation can easily bring on depression, and emotional / psychological depression is like a powerful gatekeeper who prevents entrance of light, beauty, gratitude, enjoyment and a soul-centered existence into one's field of consciousness.

At the age of 41 I was diagnosed with ms related dementia; im 43 now. Utterly shocking, but because of my lesions on the brain. I have spent the last two years taking vitamins, changing my diet, exercising etc and even now I am looking at taking some peptides to boost my brain power. One thing I have noticed after two years, I’m walking further and farther; I still need to sit down and rest, but it’s so amazing to find the power to walk; without my walking stick. I was on ms meds last September and October. In February there were no new lesions and I’m hoping this months MRI will show the same. Videos like this give me motivation to pay for something outside what my neurologist will provide. They never tell you to take certain vitamins to boost your brain power or to boost your energy levels. My fatigue it’s still an issue but I’m improving; I’m getting better. But as with ms, I still have my odd day when I feel like 🤬, but I’m a fighter not a quitter. Thank you 🙏🏼
Keep going. Good luck!
If you don't know her already...check out the work of Dr.Wahl on MS..functional medicine can do a lot. Good luck with your healing journey.
Good luck to you from me in the UK, Aluna. Better diet can do wonderful things.
any particular vitamins you would recommend ? My grandma has dementia and I would love to give her some vitamins , she doesn't eat much , no sickness ,great shape for her age but has dementia so she doesn't see much sun these days . Same as me who is 24 , I don't see much sun and I hope it wouldn't affect me much .
I've read that taurine is an unsung nootopic OTC.
My Mom may she rest in peace. She was a diabetic, with dementia and Alzheimer’s. When we restricted her sugar and the carbs her memory would come back and her diabetes was reduced. However she would hunt out any sugar she could find and then revert to memory loss again. Eventually she died from a blood infection post heart surgery. I think avoiding sugar has many health benefits including reducing memory loss.
spændende læsning om din mor. Sukker er ikke usundt hvis du ikke har diabetes, men det skal naturligvis kun spises i fornuftige mængder....mådeholdt er en god ting for ældre mennesker
My grandpa had Alzheimer s it started age 85. He lived to be 88. He would eat up anything sweet quicker than a kid. Sugar was something he would eat by the tablespoon and lots of it...Cutting out sugar sure has a lot of long term benefits first of all reducing overall inflammation in the body which leads to most chronic illnesses...
Sugar sounds more addictive & deadly than US government's border FENTANYL.. It's sad to see nothing can be done about USA awful food that is destroying lives along with brain washed doctors who do what ever cdc fda & Marxist us gov demands of them in health care treatment. Remove soy, sugar, corn from our foods & stop gmo.
Sorry to hear of your Mothers struggles. Sugar drives dopamine( the feel good pursuit neurotransmitter) and yeast( candida ) likes and can promote further cravings toward seeking out sugar. With lots of antibiotics and preservatives in our foods these days would the bacteria/yeast balance in the gut get put out of balance, I think so.
Dementia comes in Cycles, with memories coming and going all the time. Dementia and Alzheimer’s are incurable though since they cause Brain Atrophy (brain shrinkage) and this is irreversible.
My dad was diagnosed at 60 with Alzheimer’s his mom was 40… I do not allow any of the Alzheimer’s meds recommended by neurologist and feed him a healthy diet along with edible at night before bed and he is 78 healthy strong and STABLE!
Impressive! How about any other medications and vaccines? Do you stay away from them to prevent inflamrion?
@@Portia620 no I’m anti any vaccine and no other meds
@@lizzyflip7578 at least you have a stand. I say to each his or her own. None of my business. I’m not like all the other sheep’s. You do you. ❤️🙌
You're doing a great job, sadly I only realised after having lost my Father and my Mother was pretty sick that the medical industry is just for profit.
I'm 61 and take no drugs, most people I know are not well and take a cocktail of drugs rather than ensure a good diet and exercise!
My Mother died from cancer after having fluid in her abdomen for about a year, the hospital never told us and refused to remove the fluid when we asked almost a month before she died.
Would you share the healthy diet?♡
Years ago I saw a film about a group of nuns who were very aged but used to keep active and used their hands and fingers a lot playing cards together, using their rosaries and usual daily activities. They donated their brains to science when they died and several of the brains showed signs of alzheimer's yet they did not have any symptoms when alive. I found this most interesting as I am a reflexology practitioner and have also worked in a care/hospital environment, also my dad has Parkinsons disease. It got me thinking that it is really important to keep using your hands and fingers and this is something that elderly people stop doing as their movements slow and joints become stiffer. In reflexology your brain reflexes are the very tips of your fingers and toes and I think it is worth pressing down hard on a table or pen or using a rosary or beads every day to help stimulate the brain.
How do you know the Nuns had no signs of Alzheimer's? Did you observe them? If ALL the Nuns had Alzheimer's how would they see the signs of Alzheimer's in the others?
I'm a former pianist, and I'm fascinated by your comment about the connection between the brain and the fingers and toes. I will take your wisdom to heart and return to squeezing raquetballs as a way to keep my fingers active. I should add toe scrunches! [St3-18-23-0018E]
Very interesting. Orchestral conductors are some of the longest living people and I believe the theory is they get a lot of e exercise,not much sitting and waiving their arms helps lymphatic drainage. Don't think any if this is proven. They also use their fingertips a lot. Wonder if pianists and other musicians who press their fingers on keys live longer?
Some researchers say that coconut oil improves memory along with MCT 8.
That was when they proved it wasn’t amyloid tangles that cause Alzheimer’s. Several autopsies showed this. BUT pharmaceuticals had meds for amyloid plaque so the truth was suppressed and has continued to be suppressed. It isn’t amyloid. I would find other videos on dementia and Alzheimer’s here on TH-cam.
This a what is real doctor is all about. My traditional doctor prescribes drugs to mitigate symptoms of illness, but it did not cure my health problem. Example: I have high cholesterol, my doctor prescribes statin drugs. Instead, I changed to a natural whole foods low carb diet and cardiovascular daily exercise and it worked all without the need for prescription drugs. I also reversed Type 2 diabetes at the same time.
The vast majority of physicians have no clue. All they know to do is prescribe pharmaceuticals, and when side effects occur, they prescribe more pharmaceuticals, and that continues and continues. Polypharmacy solves nothing; it only creates more problems.
Given the right nutrition the body will heal itself.
Yes some doctor is not honest
Try Carnivore,you will heal and be reborn! I’m 76 and have virtually been 75% vegan till now ! Miraculous results immune wise!
@@JohnSmith-gy4qjyes ,we heard all that from Barbara Whois a good woman that doesn’t look well and looks very aged ! She is vegan!
Every time I listen to Dr. Bredesen speak I am celebrating so much of what he says especially when it comes to the new detective of medicine talk!
EDIT: It would be amazing for this talk to be updated with how the science in 2023 is focusing on INSULIN SENSITIVITY in Alz, Parkinson's, MS and other neuro motor dysfunctions.
Alzheimer’s is a lifelong degradation and there’s no way anybody’s gonna create a clinical model of exactly every single decision a person made when it came to diet and lifestyle for their entire life!
What this world needs is a massive shift back to the simpler times when we were in good community with people we cared about we laughed every day we exercised every day we ate whole food not processed crap, and we embraced aging in a way that celebrates the wisdom we gain and understands when we need to move slower and things change and skin sags and we celebrate the beauty of it all! That will be a healthy society and people will go back to enjoying life and loving each other in this incredible experience we call “being human”.
Well said! Thank you!
I am 25 minutes into this discussion. So far there hasn’t been any mention of protocols or behaviors. Do they ever discuss any of that or is it just a meta discussion about the state of neuroscience and medicine practice? I’m hoping for some practical advice. By the way, this is the second talk I’ve heard from this doctor and the first one didn’t mention anything either. Where can I actually hear about what he’s proposing? I’m not trying to be antagonistic, but at some point, I’d like to hear some practical advice.
I was told i had early alzheimer years ago.
I cut out beer, wine, chip, candy, soda, all junk food. I eat more "normal" food. Veg, fruit, rice, fish, chicken, do a lot of yardwork, sunshine, housework, walk my pooch, read, puzzle, music, very little tv, junk food, no alcohol. My memory, skin, hair, teeth, gum, weight, mood, has improved

In Brazil, you should have access to natural foods and stay away from processed foods. Consider taking some supplements like vitamin D and B's. Keep your waste line THIN!!! Diet is important, so keep your weight in line.
Also, try to tablespoons of coconut oil each day. It has shown to improve the brain immensely..
You know this doctor is full of shit, don't you???😂😂😂 His research has been disputed and hasn't been replicated by other scientists.
It would be so helpful if you put a link in all of your podcasts that list the lab tests needed (outside of the standard panel), link to cognoscopy, preventative steps to take, any suggested supplements. It’s tedious to try to find this basic info again in the podcasts. Thank you

I love the discussion here! I have a sister who has been dealing with what they are now calling Alzheimer's for the last 10 years. She has progressed to a stage where she is in a memory facility. I have researched and understand so much of what you are talking about. The problem is, most of the people who run the "so-called medical system" in this country, don't have a clue. This includes one of the hospitals she had a stay in that categorized their neurologists as "World Class". This is so disturbing and laughable to me when these people don't even have a basic understanding of the multitude of things that can cause this condition. They Look at you with blank stares when you mention words like Neuroplasticity, nutrition, vitamin D, cure, and recovery😳 As you say, it is different in every person. It's not a one size fits all "disease". I, personally, would like to see us get away from the overuse of the word "disease". It connotes something you are afflicted with you never heal from. The current thinking is the best you can do is remission. I feel that is totally false information. I would much rather see a word such as "condition" used as an umbrella term. It is a more hopeful one which suggest healing/recovery is possible.
Well said. Our local neurologist doesn’t have a clue. Prescribes Aricept and maybe Namenda and that’s it.
.................I saw a study on dementia and Alzheimer's and the evidence showed a lack of oxygen to be the culprit. Older people sleep in closed rooms and the oxygen level can drop to 30% of normal from the isolation. There are plants famous for their production of oxygen and they inhale carbon dioxide, while increasing the oxygen, in a bedroom, by 20 and 40 points!.............................
Yes Yes Yes! We have a better understanding than our doctors. We are held hostage by the docs and insurance because it is costly to get the tests needed early and we need the doc to allow us most of the tests especially if you need a functional med doc which is usually not covered by insurance.
“Condition” might be more hopeful, but good luck getting insurance reimbursement for a condition. As a disease, Alzheimer’s may get more attention and more money for research, and the medicines that result are more like to be covered by insurance, or at least stand a chance of getting covered as an actual treatment and not get lost in drs having to prescribe the medicine off label to only the wealthy. Just look at the drugs that could help with obesity. Don’t fight this semantic fight…focus on the best way to get the most help for Alzheimer’s patients at a reasonable cost.
please-please tell us exactly what supplements we need to take.
Another fabulous hour+ spent listening to these amazing doctors. What a privilege. Thank you xo
So awesome to see a focus on early intervention and root causes. Let’s work on cures rather than symptom management!! Wonderful interview and amazing work!
Cure?? PREVENTION
This is revolutionary research and medicine!! Thank you !
Why is the mainstream media not reporting on this incredible work that could save millions from misery? Why is is restricted to you tube and Podcats? Dr Bredesen should be interviewed on CNN and the BBC and other global broadcasters. It’s wilful blindness and negligence by the medical establishment to ignore these findings.
It would be so helpful if you could link to for centres for cognoscopy and an outline of the protocol. Thank you 🙏

I think the increase in toxins coming at us from every possible avenue play a large part in so many surcoming to Alzheimers, Parkinsons, ALS etc etc. I do a lot of research on this subject and I can say without a doubt it's probably the leading cause. Knowledge is power. There are many things we can do on a daily basis to avoid some of them. The toxins in the air are problematic though. I do what I can and avoid what I can and pray about what I can't control.
I wish Dr Bresnan would research the emotional triggers of Alzheimers. My friends came on at age 50 almost immediately after loosing her son. She quickly could not remember things or add numbers whereas she had been a high functioning manager included working with numbers and coordinating ordering of supplies
She is now in the last stages of the disease. No one on either side of her family ever had Alzheimers. It's like her brain just willed itself to try and forget everything. She spent the first 3 or 4 years crying daily for her son until she started to forget that he died on most days. One would think there is absolutely nothing positive about dementia but at least it finally gave her some relief from such profound sorrow. For several years, we could watch some old TV show she remembered and she could laugh. It was nice to see her laugh again, even though her Alzheimers was pretty bad by then. Her mind is mostly gone now. I think just waiting for the day she sees her sweet boy again.
It can be more in life style. People with shocks should not react by changing their behavior - they need to stay active and healthy - mentally and physically. Cope with losses; stay healthy!!!
Excellent info as always Dr. P. I am encouraged by dr. Bredesen's work and look forward to reading this case series.

Thank you, thank you Dr Perlmutter! Started following you when my son who is a MD handed me your book “Grain Brain”. With family and friends all around us have Alzheimer’s, correct information is sooo necessary. Please continue to give us more info every person on earth in our present times need by giving us that “right fit”💕
at 7:05 when he talks about chopping the legs off, my mom's hip surgeon cut off her bone so she would walk straight. Insane!! She has scoliosis and should have gone to a chiropractor, not cut off her bone in her leg!!!! My brother has scoliosis and Parkinson's. The spine has a lot to do with brain conditions. In my mom's case I'm sure it's the spine, poor diet and her botched surgery causing inflammation. She's in a nursing home and I had to call the doctor to ask him to check her insulin resistance. Naturopaths and Chiropractors seem to be the only ones listening but they don't take Medicare or Medicaid so I had to pay for her diagnosis and then send results to her regular doctor. Everything my mom has can be cured with diet. What if nursing homes understood this. We might have a lot more seniors that are well. Dr Berg gives healthy keto lessons so I'm doing that for myself.
The goal of the medical industry is to keep us all sick and constantly paying…no doctor will listen because they’re paid to keep us sick
I really don't think nursing homes and assisted living homes are interested in improving their clients' health. They're interested in money, and in keeping clients in their facilities. .
I am a Medicare Plan Broker. Some plans have a chiropractor benefit.
Many of our modern day diseases were rare 120 years ago. I believe a direct result of over consumption of
sugar, processed flour, and seed oils ( Veg. Oils) these 3 are the main ingredients of processed foods.
Turns out Grandma was right, "You are what you eat."
Do not forget meat! Meat of any kind is another big source of toxins that slowly destroy out body, physical mind and immune system.
Also there is another very important aspect that greatly influence deterioration of the body. And very few people actually understand and comprehend that!
Mental attitude toward self and others! Negative emotions destroy you from within!
Nobel Prize for stating the bleeding obvious !
I agree. And the use of petroleum products (carcinogens) and so many chemicals also contributes.
Add to that homogenised and pasteurized milk.

Thank You Dr. David Perlmutter For All Your Informative Videos, Especially With Your Discussions With Dr. Dale Bredesen, and With Dr. Robert Lustig.
Thank you for watching!
Why are they not talking about the damage done by chemtrails which have existed for years?
I wonder this too. Chemtrails are disturbing to think about when it comes to this topic
RIGHT!
Thank you doctor from Peru, excellent interview, very valuable information. I remember during my medical training at the university, the information i received about Alzheimer disease maked it looks like there was nothing we could do to improve the condition of patients suffering from this terrible desease.
From my point of view, Alzhiemer's is a cluster of symptoms resulting from one or more dietary, lifestyle, environmental or psychological / emotional influences. In this sense Alzheimer's is not a disease in the same way, for instance, that typhoid or cholera are. The same goes for cancer. Nothing but symptoms.
I live in Southern California, but I've lived in México too and had daily contact with la gente del campo, fuera de la cordillera. These people do not express any modern diseases so prevalent in the USA. Even the city-dwellers of San Miguel de Allende [Guanajuato] told me that city people get sick often and suffer from today's diseases-but not the indigenous peoples.
I wonder if that is true in Perú too? I can't imagine the Shipibo people, and other Ameroindians suffering from Alzheimer's, Parkenson's Dementia or Lewy Body Dementia unless they've been addicted to drugs like heroin.
@@higherresolution4490 I think you make a great point but should look into Germ Theory and Terrain Theory, Dr Sam Bailey has videos in this regard.
Germ theory drives profit for big pharma.
@@1960ARC Many thanks. I'll look for Dr. Sam Bailey today. There's a new expression going around these days : "The pharmaceutical-industrial complex". This movement started with Bayer [in the mid-1950's after I.G. Farben had been dissolved into its original 4 German chemical company constituents].
One of the divisions had been Bayer. The scientists from "Operation Paperclip" in the USA, and the Bayer gang after release from prison, stated that they had lost the battle but not the war [WWII].
Hence, they developed a plan called Codix Alimentarious that would control the world via propaganda as education, pharmaceuticals, chemicals added to food, pestacides, herbacides, fungacides and [eventually] genetic modification. Quite an interesting time to be alive!
In the future please give links to specific info given in these talks re cognoscopies, online cognitive tests, etc. Thanks!!
Doesn’t glyphosate cause leaky gut? And too much linoleic acid damaging mitochondria? Linoleic acids also promote insulin resistance…
How refreshing for a doctor/researcher to admit they were wrong. Immediately allows me to trust him.
Boy what an episode to be introduced to you two gentlemen. Big love - double crush and plans for reading and food healing ahead.
Best of luck on your health journey!
Thank your Dr.s Perlmutter and Bredesen. So much great info in an understandable and actionable format. Incredible progress and hope.
This is such a great video, thank you!! I discovered Keto and intermittent fasting (Dr Fung, Dr. Lustig, Dr Berg, Dr Pelz etc) because I had an incredible pain in my gut. It was desperation. Now I’m learning so much about the connection of metabolism and health, mental and physical. You guys are amazing to step outside the circle of wagons as medical specialised doctors and experts and care about the general health of the population and the specific health of the brain. All roads lead back to an overwhelming of the system by overeating and over processed carbs and sugar… to someone like me, this is a parallel universe where optimum health exists but we can’t reach it …. And now I discover from you guys that extreme optimum health is free. THANK YOU!!!! 👏 🎉🥳👏👏👏👏❤
I've a mild cognitive impairment thats related to my lesions. I changed my diet, exercise but mostly believe in the power of intentional positive thoughts and visualisatio, in affecting the inner workings of our body.
Wow aging backwards is on my agenda... in 2 months I'll be 80...perfect timing. Because with lyme and having had my 1st pfizer vaccine one month ago accompanied by 3.5 weeks of reactions....i definitely need to rebuild mitochondria and age backward! Thank you to our dear Dr. Perlmutter...👵💜
Stay away from covid vaccine...as ubseem to be doing so well without it. Much love xx
Get some pine needle tea to pull out bad toxins from the shot. Don’t take the booster please
Covid vagscene is a control device not a health device. Period. Stay away from it or any flu shots.
Like others said stay away from that poison and all other “vaccines “ this point on .
I also had a bad "cold which progressed to laryngitis and strep throat after my 1st Pfizer covid shot. At 5 weeks my dr office called in azithromycin antibiotic which finally cleared up my "symptoms" within 9 days. The person that gives the vaccine at the 2nd dose almost 9mo later now, says that the vaccine wouldn't cause that. I am glad to hear someone else confirm a similar experience. My pcp said some of his patients got sick after their shot & others did not. He thinks perhaps some of us were asymptomatic when we got our shot. But says it's the only hypothesis he can think of so far. The 2nd vax my doc told me to call him if I got sick again after 7-10 days of getting my vax. Fortunately this time I only had mild "flu-like" symptoms for 3days & then 3 more days of the hoarseness, fatigue, & mild fever. Did anyone else experience long flu/allergy/ laryngitis for 2 or more weeks After their vaccine ? And need antibiotics to "get over" this ? (Being healthy beforehand).
This is so important..my GOD....I wish thounds of people could hear such an
INCREDIBLE DOCTORS!!!!! I AM FROM SÃO PAULO..BRAZIL
Another fascinating discussion Dr P. I am pleased Dr D included suggestions at the end for keeping a healthy brain. They were a tonic after hearing the frightening info you gave at the 1hr mark, on the chemicals Parkinson disease researchers use to induce the disease in mice, that is available in the gardening section at the hardware store for use in the veggie patch. I may not sleep tonight.
Dr Bredesen is awesome to listen to.
Absolutely agreed!
Cognoscopy is a beautiful word! Simple and meaningful.
Yes, good doctor and marketer too!
It can be done. I got my mum cured from dementia and alzheimers. I slowly got her off all the dozeens of pills these doctors fed her and after a bit her mind was cleared. She went into a seniors home to live and they refused to make sure she drank water. If I gave her water her memory cleared. They said she only wants coffee. I was fighting a losing battle. These senior's homes take on people who know nothing, don't speak or understand a lot of english and our seniors are left to look after themselves for big money and no proper care. During Covid the workers kept bringing Covid into the home because they all live together and pass it to each other. I get frustrated with people who call themselves nurses, doctors and care workers. Money is the name of the game with doctors and the caregivers are all in for a paycheck. My mother is 91 and a very healthy woman who lacks water and decent meals
My parents were in expensive "retirement" homes--same thing--even tho I pointed out they were dehydrating them, they didn't care at all. And they were constantly pushing sugar-wheat-seed oil processed products throughout the day. Clearly supporting health was not in their business plan.
Watching my aunt with alzheimer's just lay in bed all day, unable to walk and barely able to talk was very disturbing to me. We were glad when she just recently passed, so that she wasn't in that shape anymore.
.1 What every doctor coming out of medical school in the 60's and 70's was taught to do-find the cause of the illness and treat it - now has to be done at an exponentially higher cost by a functional medicine doctor.
2. A timeline of diseases as it relates to environmental changes (which Europe and Russia have banned) would be so much quicker and give a clear picture of why people are always sick.
3.While they are wasting time trying to create diseases in animals to mimic humans so they can find a pill to treat it, just advocate to ban glyphosate from the soil and our food, fluoride from our water and dangerous toxins in vaccines.
It seems to me that way too many doctors have difficulty looking for and/or finding "cause" and, instead, focus on pharmaceutical prescriptions, and that creates problem upon problem.
you are 100% with Glyphosate AMPA POEA in Food Water Air Soil OCEANS
Manatees have the same issue of COVID actually THEY HAVE COVID

Thank you Dr. Bredesen and Dr. Perlmutter.
Thank you both so much, for your intelligence, knowledge, research, committment, caring and subsequent amazing contributions to the world ❤
Most excellent interview! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
At MINUTE 32:00, I wonder if availing oneself to a SPECT Scan at one of Dr. Daniel Amen's clinics would be better than an MRI? I think the SPEC would show more detail, especially because it displays in real time. Not crazy about the radiation levels of either ...
No, MRI has no radiation like SPECT. Also, MRI is the best test for calculation of gray and white matter volume and to show the brain anatomy well.
I just had a spect scan Amen clinic Chicago I have brain atrophy on mri. Amen clinic putting together an integrative plan for brain health. The spect scan shows vascular changes and inflammatory changes my pattern not clearly Alzheimer’s I did find value in the process and plan.
@@jc10907Sealy Excellent decision on your part, Sealy. The success Dr. Amen has had with celebral physiological insults, like the success of Dr. Bredesen, is outstanding.
If Dr. Amen can turn around severe cases of brain inflammation and damage experienced by retired Pro NFL players, a case like yours ought to be, more or less, straight forward. Success for sure. Just be completely consistent with the program-the hard part.
This will sound rediculously simplistic, but do make sure your electrolyte levels are sufficient, and in connection to this, that you are fully hydrated everyday. Hydaration is impossible without sufficient electrolytes. Dehydration of the brain comes with many symptoms, including foggy thinking and inflammation.
Hopefully Dr. Amen checked for Type III diabetes [cerebral diabetes].
Would you please share the link for the cognitive online test?
I do agree that we can test at home some basic metrics, but I feel a big miss in our healthcare system is to get cheap and readily accessible blood tests.
Thanks what a show, my son was falling down after getting covit and he started with a juice diet lot's of green veggies for a whole month drinking lots of water he stop drinking, he lost 30 lb he came back to life ,he also had suicidal thoughts he started talking Brand vitamins, coilatle silver, poor body extract drops for cleansing thank you
Both you and Dr Bredesen are highly educated in nutritional health... This was an extremely interesting conversation, and if I could only utilise part of what was discussed, I'd be far healthier.
I did like the statement regarding treatment:- "It's like re-building a house, whilst it's still on fire"... That is so true with doctors who have no clue about nutrition.
Thank you for all your work and this beautiful, encouraging interview. We have al your books.
Also over processed foods delete vitamins and minerals that the body needs to rebuild and keep the body running correctly. The body keeps trying to keep everything running correctly but when we feed the body with poisons it messes up the immune system
Thanks for the great interview. Could you do an interview or podcast on pneumonia since there are not very many informative and preventative videos out there. Thanks.
Thank you for this very Informative update. The take home message was Priceless-- Metabolic Flexibility: Three Pillars which can be subdivided will starve off Alzheimer, Dementia and host of other age related diseases. Worth listening to over to get the full impact.
I highly recommend you continue doing interviews with scientists who are at the forefront. One recommendation which would take effort : If you can link references so that we can read those research studies as well.
Thank you both,
looking forward to that conversation with Stephanie Seneff
Great conversation! Thanks guys.
Are FDA-approved mercury fillings a factor in AZ?
What about the toxin alcohol? Alcohol is also very high in sugar. But also we know the effects of alcohol on the brain ie look at the memory problems caused when people are 'intoxicated'. Also, we are fully aware of the damage caused to the brains of the developing foetus when women drink alcohol in pregnancy ie the lifelong disabilities of the affected children (FASD - Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders) including adhd, asd, learning disabilities etc. There is also a strong correlation with the fact that more women than men get alzheimer's and currently women are drinking more alcohol than men. Also, women are being encouraged to continue to drink throughout their lifetime ie not just as teens but in their 50's, 60's and 70's etc with the advent of boutique wine bars as opposed to the old fashioned pubs which were historically frequented by men.
I'm 75 and I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes and I have been following many well-known resources and videos on control of blood-sugar etc.
However, I have always been slim so I had the test for antibodies to see if I'm type 1.5. results were negative but I'm sure I'm not producing enough insulin (as apposed to being insulin resistant).
So where do I go from here? I am on very low carb diet and walk 4 to 5 miles each day?
Just adding my experience to the mix. My Mum got Alzheimer's in the 80's and it seemed to coincide with a fat free diet fad at the time. In hindsight it was a dairy free diet. No milk, butter etc...When she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, doctors "doubled down" on a dairy free diet and she had nothing fatty to make it easier for my Dad to maneuver her.
Nothing would have alerted me if it was not for about 1 yr before her death they said she may as well enjoy life so took her off the diet. To me, I noticed there were noticeable improvements in her behaviour - like a light and life came back to her. To me I always wondered if fat was an important part of our diet. This clip seems very convoluted to me. Eat dairy.
With Dairy, I have personally found that unhomogenised is much less inflammatory, and raw milk is even better.
I don't know how bad dairy is, but healthy fats are now regarded as being very beneficial to our overall health. High quality (non oxidized via processing and storage) omega 3 fats as well as a good quality olive oil are both considered to be protective and supportive of good health. This is widely held by most functional docs to be a cornerstone of good nutrition as the fats improve our absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.
My grandmother was sharp as a tack drinking whole milk, eating real butter, eggs, and bacon at 91. My Mom lived to 93, only had cognitive issues when she had a UTI, and then a couple doses into an antibiotic run, fog always lifted. She saw a stellar urologist after recurring UTIs, who prescribed she take oil of oregano drops in olive oil twice a week, and 2 NOW brand d-mannose cranberry pills 3x/day. No more episodes or UTIs.
Raw grassfed dairy if possible. Add coconut oil.
Brain needs lipids. Unheated lipids like hempseed, virgin olive and coconut oils may help, or omega oils from chia seeds.
How do patients receive treatment for dementia or alzheimers in Seattle with the compromise of health care treatment?
It was first known 100 years ago that common diseases could be caused by a LACK of nutrition. Prior to that it was assumed that invasive viruses & bacteria caused disease (which is of course true in many cases, but not all). Thank you Dr Bredesen!
My brother was diagnosed and treated for Parkinson's for over 10 years, but died of undiagnosed Gliablastoma. I have no idea if he ever had an MRI. I suggest if you have a loved one with Parkinson's, insist on an MRI. Maybe also Alzheimer's.😢
I thrive on sunlight... warmth helps... grown your own food, eat right out of the garden instead of a fridge... amazing what you can do with dirt... and avoid stupid harmful toxic people with bad karma...
Same here!
I grow my own food, LOVE working in my garden and I cycle every day (I'm also a gym instructor, so I'm so happy to interact w/people and spread positivity around 😊 ).
Simple things are the foundation of happiness and health!
Thank you for this great discussion, Dr. P!! 💟
👏👏👏👏
You're right!,
“Cognoscopy” noted , let’s see if I can convince my GP 😄 It consists of 3 steps;
1.Bloods tests looking for inflammation markers, HMR(?), insulin sensitivity, Vit D and hormones reduction, Uric acids levels.
2.Online Cognitive assessment (if test is not positive go to point 3)
3.MRI, include volumetrics.gey area volume, hypocampus volume, cortisol vs hypocampus balances ..
Also important to check nocturnal oxygenation, and other things I missed 🤷🏽♀️
I would add Wim Hofs work into the mix for anti inflammatory strategies- Great interview- makes totally makes sense
Exposing yourself to freezing temperatures isn’t practical
Tell us about the cost of dealing with Dr Bredesen.
Hi Gretchen,
I experienced and observed too many incidents of misdiagnosis and mistreatment before I entered University and unfortunately across a long international career (over 50 years). Quite often I would discuss this problem with senior civil and military doctors, including the head of a national health service and other highly capable doctors, including those of a hospital that I once supervised. That anecdotal experience spanned a wide range of age groups and doctors from North America, UK, Western Europe, Russia, several high-capability Asia countries, Africa and Australia. Whilst I observed cultural, and educational-cultural differences impacting methodologies in diagnosis and personalization of treatment, neither that, nor generational changes seem to be dominant. Highly informed, perceptive doctors with a ‘determined detective’ attitude, richly informed by observations and tests were the close colleagues of doctors, seemingly sadly lacking in those characteristics. So if I would point to something that is systematically lacking, it would probably be the posture reinforced through education and early practice, and whether that posture is actively reinforced by both colleagues and the media of the profession. The importance of professions refreshing their colleagues’ attitudes and capabilities is continues to increase, and it seems to me to be vital to our changing direction on Alzheimer’s, diabetes, aging and longevity, as well as our general ability to promote health and disease prevention, alongside more efficient and effective support to our demographically aging populations.
The contribution from an informed and empathetic community is also important. I endorse Dr. Shruti Sood’s anecdotal observations of the strong impact of vibrant social activity interaction in the cultures where that is still rich and strong, versus solitary existence with aging, with lack of intellectual nourishment, mental and physical exercise and lack of diversity and healthy nutrition. My own mother used to bounce back physically and mentally within days and weeks of me receiving advice from her doctors that she was rapidly declining possibly near death, and then taking the family and grandchildren to her, all through her mid-80s into early 90s. A huge regret is that there was then a protracted time when it was more difficult for me to go to my homeland and spend time with her and she rapidly deteriorated in a modern (Australian) home with good medical staff, but with, I think, a negative feedback loop on social interaction, fluids, management, and nutrition and activity, so that she passed away in a highly deteriorated cognitive state at the age of 97. She was wonderfully supported by my retired sister that lived not far away, and was professionally experienced in care for the aged, but that is different to the intensity of interaction and range of intellectual and physical activity in a traditional extended family environment. I am 74 and so fortunate to benefit from an environment that is socially, physically, intellectually and nutritionally stimulating in so many ways. My mental bandwidth seems to be higher than when I was 18 when certain ‘social motivations’ possibly over-focused my attentions.
Keep posting please. I love learning about human anatomy.
Mother has dementia and she lives in Germany. I am looking forward to learning more about this and hopefully, I will be able to stop the process of her getting worse with her dementia and hopefully reverse a bit of it. This is great news. After this CORVID disaster, it is finally time to get some good news. Thanks.
Timestamp would greatly add to your nice videos ❤❤❤❤❤
I am so excited that there is NOW some hope with dementia and specifically, Alzheimer's.
I was invited to a group, here in Colorado about a week ago from an MD who was teaching people how to reverse Alzheimer's. They had received your training. I was really excited and proceeded to read the instructions and sign up, until I got to the last sentence which indicated it would be $1997 for the course. Guess what? Didn't sign up--couldn't afford it!!
I was upset and surprised at the cost!! I thought this would be free or at least NOT this amount.
Still all about the money.
What can we do. If doctors see patients for only a few minutes, ask questions and then say you need blood test, maybe an nuclear test or whatever is bad 10 days before next appointment and the appointment is 3 or 6 month away! it is so common that is really worrisome, we are getting sicker and sicker and then the horrible medicines that make us sicker with other problems. We spend years complaining before there is a diagnostic or treatment.
Please get to the point. Explain what causes Alzheimer and what methods to reverse it. Step 1..10. thank you
Have you turned the volume up?
Just put it on 2 x some of us like to hear the whole thing
Organic soy lecithin for choline is what I take. I mix it in tofu scramble or in nut butters etc. TY for the amazing discussion, loved it.
Doesn't reducing your feeding window or fasting potentially cause low blood sugar and then increasing Glutamate in the brain which basically fries the neurons, isn't this a problem if you have high levels of Glutamic acid in your labs, high Glutamate levels are implicated in many neuro or brain diseases from depression, anxiety, MS, dementia etc what say you?
Thanks for this valuable discussion 👌👌🙏🙏🙏
Darren & I love Dr.Perlmutter.We wish he was still in practice.
Want to be in touch again!.
I have read Dr. Dale's book . I would like to go to his clinic if that is possible . My wife was diagnosis of alzheimer in January. How do I get in contact with Dr. Dale,
I had to eat liver when I was pregnant as I could not get my iron levels up high enough otherwise. My midwife recommended grilling it with lots of onions & garlic, then, just before taking it off the heat, pour tamari sauce on it. It's almost good if you don't count the texture. Good luck!
Dr. Perlmutter and Dr. Bredesen, I'm listening to your podcast and am able to comprehend some of what you are discussing, but sorry to say, some I can not. I'm interested because my mother died with a diagnosis of Lewy Body Dimentia and now my husband and I had covid-19 last July. I was 72 and he was 82. He became so disoriented, needed hospitalization for 2 weeks in severe cognitive distress. I was told to bring him home where he could get better in his own familiar surroundings. I began to notice lasting behaviors, such as him seeing things/hallucinsations and short terms memory decline. I took him to our family MD who took him off all the medications he was placed on and to continue with at home. He was sent for Lab tests, additional cat scan, (besides the ones he had while in the hospital, including an MRI and EEG). My husband was placed on 5 mg Donepezil and only to continue with his regular meds of Atorvastatin 5 mg, Tamsulosin .4 mg and Metformin. He had dropped 40 lbs., 5-6 years ago and has kept it off. So 9 months after covid and he has gotten worse. He's gotten lost while driving twice, which resulted in having to give up his license. Most currently, he has begun to be confused in thinking/believing that I am multiple people when he refers to me as "they", or "she", and that other people are with us. He most recently has seen two doctors for a psychological evaluation and we are waiting for the results. We have known one another for 7 years and married for 3. He is a retired special ed teacher and sports coach. Prior to covid, he only showed slight forgetfulness about where he put something, or perhaps not able to recall a name, but other than that, he has always been very sociable, with weekly, golfing, playing cards, crosswords, swimming, but he's not motivated to do as much. Please tell me what I can do to help him. I need specifics. I know you mentioned diet, food supplements, along with good sleep and exercise. I will do everything I can possibly do to help him. I just really need more guidance.
Thank you, Becky
Many of the suggested tests are not available to so many in the UK... UK GP's not even allowed to do a Vit D level test...
In the States and at almost 60 yrs old, I never once experienced a doctor who even seemed to consider vit D levels. It was only after I connected a number of symptoms to vit D, pointed it out to a doctor, and specifically requested vit D levels be assessed, that the doctor ordered vit-D levels be drawn, and found my level to be deficient at only 11.
Give it to your loved ones without permission.
How can you find a doctor local to where you live that is educated about this and can help you?
what about heavy metals and EDTA?/magnesium? what about fluoride/aluminum in toothpaste/foods...
How can you reduce the risks of autoimmune diabetes (T1) and its impacts on the risk of Alzheimer's and other degenerative autoimmune diseases? I have had T1 for 42 years and have been pretty healthy but in the last 10 years I am noticing a decline ... thyroid disease (autoimmune antibodies detected), signs of RA... father died of Alheimer's and I am very concerned. My doctors act like all is fine or they don't have anything to offer me. I am now obese, in pain, and finding it hard to do simple exercise and work all day.
Thank you so much and especially thanks for linning to the research paper that made the discussion much clearer to me than just listening 🌷
With Alzheimer's patients having such high levels of Aluminum in the brain (second only to Autistic children) why no mention of this, and how to detox from it?
Great video.. I shared it with a friend who her mom has dementia…
Hope this is helpful
I work with a dementia population and will reference this to the case managers, all RN's. If I get a 30% response I'd regard it as monumental.
@@wisconsinfarmer4742 How was the response when you shared the information?
@@gelliebeane6789 In spite of the devastating nature of dementia, they were all too lazy to look for hope.
@wisconsinfarmer4742 That's unfortunate.
My husband has been recently dealt diagnosed with ALS. He started having fasciculations after we walked through a field that had been sprayed with herbicide and not marked. can you direct me toward any research that might help? He cannot take Ryluzole due to liver impairment. They forgot to tell him to have his liver his liver enzymes checked once a month and when they finally after three months remembered, his liver enzymes were high. Now they are back to high normal.We are willing to do anything. He does not drink or smoke but he does like junk food. He is willing to give up the junk food however.
Is there a recommendation on where to get a cognoscapy? Or a trusted online cognition test?
