The Bredesen Protocol™ – Is nutrition the key to

Alzheimer’s?
Following our recent visit to the US, and The Buck Institute, we at Cytoplan are excited to announce a col-
laboration with Professor Bredesen – and The Bredesen Protocol™ – to help bring his work surrounding
Alzheimer’s to the UK. The Bredesen Protocol™, a multi-factorial lifestyle and nutrition based approach
to treating, and reversing, early onset Alzheimer’s, has so far successfully reversed Alzheimer’s symptoms
in 90% of 110 people.
In this week’s blog we look at The Bredesen Protocol™ in more depth, the scale of the concern surround-
ing Alzheimer’s disease and the failings of monotherapy.
Reversal of cognitive decline – Diet and lifestyle intervention
From the moment we first saw publication of Professor Bredesen’s research paper ‘Reversal of cognitive
Decline; a novel therapeutic programme’ in October 2014, and realised the programme involved almost
exclusively diet and lifestyle intervention, it was something that excited us greatly.
Why? – because for 25 years we (at Cytoplan) have promoted a philosophy that diet and lifestyle errors
are at the heart of most chronic diseases, and conversely if we can adopt a diet and lifestyle that gives our
genes the nourishment and environment they need for health, most chronic diseases would no longer be.
It was particularly exciting to see Professor Bredesen’s work demonstrate that a disease such as
Alzheimer’s – which is presently viewed as one which cannot be treated, prevented or reversed and is in-
citing such widespread fear among the population – is indeed not omnipotent and in fact is far more dy-
namic than popular medical opinion leads us to believe.

The Bredesen Protocol™ - Is nutrition the key to Alzheimer’s? - Cytoplan https://blog.cytoplan.co.uk/bredesen-protocol-nutrition-key-alzheimers/
to provide a talk surrounding the ongoing work of MPI Cognition and The Bredesen Protocol™.
Alzheimer’s disease – The Scale of the Problem
Alzheimer’s disease is reaching epidemic proportions and has ‘touched’ most of us through friends and
family who suffer, or have died, from the disease. It is a growing problem that has recently been brought to
the fore by many world leaders.
30 million people are affected globally (likely to be 160 million by 2050); it is the 3rd leading cause of
death in USA and the leading cause of death for women in England and Wales (2nd for men).
The Failure of Drugs & Monotherapy
Drug therapy and monotherapies (single agent drug therapy) for neurodegenerative diseases have failed,
hundreds of £millions have been spent worldwide on drugs research and there is presently no effective
treatment for Alzheimer’s disease as a result.
This failure is perhaps best explained by recent genetic and biochemical research, which has revealed an
extensive network of molecular interactions involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease. Hence a
network approach, rather than a single target drug approach, is likely to be more appropriate.
Dozens of biological mechanisms need to be brought into a state where they are enhancing a person’s cog-
nitive health. There is a not a single therapy that exerts anything beyond a marginal, unsustained, sympto-
matic effect with little or no effect on disease progression. Complexity is therefore the main obstacle with
Alzheimer’s disease and the people who have this condition.
Professor Bredesen likens this to a roof with many holes. Monotherapy (single agent drug therapy) plugs
just one of these holes and one needs to plug a good number of the holes to have any chance of improving
the condition. This latter approach utilised in the Bredesen Protocol™ programme equates to a multiple
therapeutic approach, identifying and addressing the areas of imbalance.
Professor Bredesen hypothesises that Alzheimer’s disease, considered by much of medical science to be a
single disease, actually consists of three distinct sub-types:
Infl
In fl ammatory – in which markers such as C-reactive protein and serum albumin to globulin ratios
are increased. These people have biomarkers of systemic inflammation.
Non-infl
Non-in fl ammatory – in which these markers are not increased but other metabolic abnormalities
are present. This sub-type is known as ‘cold alzheimer’s’ and is often associated with low levels of
vitamin D and high homocysteine.
Cortical/distinctly different – affects mainly young individuals and appears more widely distrib-
uted across the brain than the other subtypes of Alzheimer’s. Sufferers of this sub-type are always
deficient in zinc – often toxic.
Enter The Bredesen Protocol™

Protocol
Recently the first success in reversing cognitive decline in early Alzheimer’s disease and its precursors,
[Mild Cognitive Impairment] MCI and [Subjective Cognitive Impairment] SCI, was reported (Impact Aging,
Bredesen 2014). This published study reported the initial 10 patients treated with a novel, therapeutic
approach called The Bredesen Protocol™.
“Of the first ten patients tested, nine showed subjective or objective improvement. These included people
2 de 26 17/10/2017 21:48
with memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s disease and/or varying degrees of cognitive impairment. All
six patients who had given up or severely limited work, returned to work or were able to work without dif-
ficulty.
And now over 100 patients have been treated, with unprecedented results. A clinical trial is planned in the
USA and UK.“

What is the Bredesen Protocol ™?
The Bredesen Protocol™ targets the multiple underlying causes of Alzheimer’s disease, with a goal to im-
prove cognitive function. The list below outlines the targets of the programme and the physiological
biomarkers that it aims to change to improve cognition.
It simultaneously addresses:
Insoluble and soluble beta-amyloid

Tau and tau tangles
Metabolic issues
Inflammation
Toxicity
Insufficiency of trophic factors
Hormone imbalance
Gut health
Genetic errors
Nutrient deficiencies
Cognitive stimulation
Lifestyle factors that contribute to the pathology such as poor sleep; stress; lack of exercise; poor
diet high in sugar
The same programme can be used by healthy individuals wanting to prevent Alzheimer’s disease and, as
Professor Bredesen discovered, it seems to be a protocol that will optimise every area of health.
This is no surprise, really, because it comprises all areas of diet and lifestyle that the human genome needs
for optimal health.
Most of the chronic diseases we see today are caused by a mismatch in the diet and lifestyle our genes
need for health and the one in which we choose to adopt. We are effectively “fish out of water.”
This situation can only really be remedied by understanding and meeting our genetic needs within our
current environment – which is exactly what The Bredesen Protocol™ achieves.
Moreover it permits for individualisation. We humans are all genetically different in the same way as we
look different on the outside. We know that “one man’s meat is another man’s poison,” and this exists be-
cause variations in genes that impact on metabolic processes dictate this.
3 de 26 17/10/2017 21:48
For example, some people can drink large quantities of alcohol and recover well whilst others experience
long-term effects from very small quantities. In the main this is due to differences in genetic detoxification
and methylation pathways.
The science-based conclusions of Professor Bredesen in respect of Alzheimer’s disease include:
Monotherapy has never worked because Alzheimer’s disease is a condition of multiple aetiology af-
fecting multiple pathogenetic and signalling pathways.
Alzheimer’s disease involves multiple patho-aetiology that is influenced by both intrinsic and ex-
trinsic factors.
Alzheimer’s disease is wholly preventable and modifiable up until the late stages of disease.
Nutrition and lifestyle components are at the heart of the Bredesen Protocol™.
Inflammation drives metabolism dysfunction. Metabolic dysfunction is at the heart of Alzheimer’s
disease.
The Bredesen™
Bredesen Protocol™
Protocol & Cytoplan
Since the publication of Professor Bredesen’s

paper on the subject of reversal of cognitive
decline using the ‘MEND’ programme (‘meta-
bolic enhancement for neurodegeneration’,
now termed ‘The Bredesen Protocol™’), and
his subsequent talk in the UK (March 2015),
Cytoplan has been in close contact with Pro-
fessor Bredesen and his team to try and bring
the protocol and research to the UK.
Following our recent visit to the US, and the

Buck Institute, we are excited to bring you the
news that Professor Bredesen will be in Eng-
land this September, and that he will be giving
a talk on behalf of Cytoplan Education on September 8th.
Clinical trials are planned for the US and UK, and health practitioners and their patients are being sought
to collaborate on this project.
Summary
The most important thing to come out of Professor Bredesen’s research is that Alzheimer’s disease is not
an omnipotent neurological disorder over which we have no control, but a metabolic disease which is
wholly within our control. This is true right up to the late stages of the disease – which is another factor
that underpins the importance of early diagnosis.
With this knowledge we can all be self-empowered about our health, not only for Alzheimer’s disease, but
for many other chronic diseases too, as similarities have been identified between the disease process in
Alzheimer’s disease and other diseases, such as Cancer, Osteoporosis, Atherosclerosis and Parkinson’s.

Hi Erica,
The Bredesen Protocol™ is a comprehensive, personalised programme that

cytoffice targets the multiple underlying causes of Alzheimer’s disease, with an overall
goal of improving cognitive function. The programme is able to identify all the
biochemical and metabolic imbalances in an individual that give rise to the
disease, and offers a tailored protocol to restore health and reverse the disease
pathology.
The paper ‘Reversal of cognitive decline: A novel therapeutic program’ (a link to

which we provide in the blog) detailing the Bredesen Protocol™ is the first to
suggest that memory loss in patients may be reversed – and improvement
sustained – by using this 36-point therapeutic system that involves a
comprehensive combination therapy approach combining medical expertise with
software management to evaluate results and individualise the programme for
each person. This paper openly details the science surrounding the protocol in a
lot more depth – including recording successful patient case studies. A further
paper is also soon to be published.
The programme takes into account an individual’s genetic, metabolic, hormonal,

and behavioural makeup to produce a personalised therapeutic program that is
based on the underlying pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, and which involves
multiple modalities in the treatment protocol; including diet, supplements,
exercise, sleep and other lifestyle changes – we will be going into more depth on
the specific elements of the protocol in various blogs over the next few months.
If you follow the link to another blog of ours – Alzheimer’s and Dementia – Time
for ‘A Novel Therapeutic Programme’? – then towards the bottom you will find a
6 de 26 17/10/2017 21:48
number of useful links providing further research, blogs and articles concerning
the science surrounding The Bredesen Protocol. You can also find more
information on the MPI Cognition Website – the company responsible for
leading The Bredesen Protocol ™ in the US.
As a company we are investing large sums of money (as are our charitable
owners – The AIM Foundation) to help bring this protocol to the UK; by helping
to fund further research, set up clinics dedicated to the protocol in the UK, and
simply raising awareness.

Hi I watched an interview with Dr Bredesen and am blown away iI have a mother

who has dementia probably vascular as well as having had carbon monoxide
Mary Anne poisoning so I have become very interested in all avenues of research about
Hattingh cognitive decline maybe a bit fearful of myself getting it as well. This seems to make
the most sense of a personalized program and getting the different states of the
body , biochemical and hormonal as well as ridding the body of toxin levels to
optimum levels wow . What I was wondering is if it I could send this information to
my moms treating physicians or would it be the wrong thing to do ethically ? We are
in South Africa is there anything in the near future of running clinical trials here. This
is such a breakthrough and I commend all who are working on thus I Thanks again
3rd October 2016 at 4:00 pm
Dear Mary Anne,
Thank you for your comment on our blog. Yes I think it would be a good idea to
cytoffice send that information to your mother’s doctor. You could also forward a link to
Professor Bredesen’s 2014 paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed
/25324467
We will shortly be publishing an Action Against Alzheimer’s booklet which goes

through diet and lifestyle steps that research has shown beneficial, particularly in
the early stages. If you would like to email me your address:
clare@cytoplan.co.uk, I will send you a copy. Also we do offer a free health
questionnaire service that your mother may be interested in. If your mother
completes and returns a health questionnaire we will send some written diet and
supplement recommendations. Finally there will also be GP-led clinics in the UK
in the future that will be able to consult with Alzheimer’s patients. I hope this
information is useful to you. If you have any questions please contact me.
Best wishes,
Clare

20th January 2017 at 1:49 pm
Thank you for the comment on our blog,
I do understand your concerns and reservations and I am so sorry to hear of your

cytoffice wife’s illness. Maybe I can explain a little more about Professor Bredesen’s work
and the results of his protocol when used on people with active diagnosed
Alzheimer’s disease.
As I speak today, In the USA over 140 people with Alzheimer’s disease have used
Professor Bredesen’s protocol, 90% of which have experienced a reversal of
symptoms and returned to health sustainably. At this time there is further
independent research planned in America, the UK and also Australia and we
hope the results of this will prompt the health services to look more closely at
how this protocol could be incorporated into mainstream medicine. As you are
probably aware changing health policy is not a light decision and usually it
requires research to be positive in many thousands of people and can be very
expensive. Our charity are funding small scale research in the UK and we hope
that along with the results of other similar research and the biochemical
evidence that Professor Bredesen has able to demonstrate will provide the
impetus for the NHS and/or other Alzheimer’s related funding bodies to start
research on a larger scale.
When I first saw Professor Bredesen’s research and studied the pathways he
12 de 26 17/10/2017 21:48
was describing, plus the evidence as to how the prescribed diet and lifestyle
could impact beneficially on this disease process I was hugely excited as not only
does its offer hope for sufferers, it also provides a very sound model that can be
used by people wanting to help themselves prevent the disease and/or optimise
their cognitive health. Since then I have met many of the people treated by
Professor Bredesen and most of them have been able to return to work and are
now once again leading normal lives, something that is not thought possible by
mainstream UK medicine.
After getting to know Dr Bredesen over the last 18 months I can tell you that his
motivation is purely altruistic and he is personally driven to eradicate the global
burden of Alzheimer’s disease.
I would be very happy to talk to you in more detail as I do appreciate it may

appear like a leap of faith whilst in fact it is a programme that is supported by
research, biochemistry and scientifically validated evidence and one which is now
being widely applied in the USA.
Our dream would be to see it incorporated into the NHS so that the population
at large could benefit.
Please contact me directly should you have any further questions by emailing
amanda@cytoplan.co.uk
Thanks

I would like to reassure people like Andrew that the protocol appears to be
saving my husband’s life.
Stephanie He is 58 years old with a lost career and a PET scan to prove young Alzheimer’s.

back to life. Even his driving has improved
Today I saw our practice nurse for my own health needs and she looked at my
name and without any prompting from me, commented that she had seen my
husband last week about an ear infection. She said she had read in his notes that
he had dementia. However she said she couldn’t reconcile the gap between the
diagnosis and the man she had met.

Stephanie The protocol requires someone around to put it into place and given your
Stacey job demands, we hope you have family members or friends around to
co-opt to the cause as you will probably need their help. (We say this after
watching our builders working on a diet of constant tea and biscuits over
the summer!) We really hope you have extra support, if you want to think
about beginning to do something now which will immediately benefit her,
you could look at what a low GL diet will mean – dietdoctor.com/low-carb
is a good place to start. we have heard that Cytoplan wants to set up a
blog for participants in the protocol and the sooner this kicks off the
better. Lots of good wishes from both of us, Stephanie and Tim

includes 8 workshops, held usually at weekly intervals. The workshops cover
nutrition, gut health, sleep, stress reduction, exercise and brain training. You can
also have an individual consultation with the nutritional therapist if you wish. If
you would like to email me (clare with your address I can look to see if we have a

Thank you for your comment on our blog and interest in the Action Against

What about other dementia: Picks, LBD, or even MS, etc. has this protocol helped
with that any? ? ? Do you believe it comes from a similar source as the gentleman
Ben above suggested in the China study??
Those can just as bad as ALZ.. and can strike those who are much younger.
While I feel bad for seniors who experience memory loss in their 60s… its simply
unbelievable for one to suffer anything above in their earlier years being that many
are STILL raising young children. Life is hard enough!
Unacceptable! After doing my research I can not believe conditions like this are even
possible at this point. All those research dollars for shatty drugs that heal little to
nothing and in fact damage so many. How Countries are still tolerating this is beyond
me.

Without reasonable health and peace of mind what do we have really?
15th May 2017 at 2:46 pm
Hello Ben,
Professor Bredesen’s approach has been used with other types of dementia and
cytoffice neurological diseases (eg Parkinson’s). I am not sure that he has worked with
those conditions that you mention, however, there is certainly research showing
that diet and lifestyle approaches help with autoimmune conditions such as MS.
As you mention, younger people may suffer these neurological illnesses. Sadly,
the pathology seen in Alzheimer’s is now also being seen in younger people.
Teenagers in Mexico City are showing changes to the brain as a result of high
pollution levels. We have put together an Action Against Alzheimer’s programme
– this is a workshop programme for people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, –
BEFORE a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. It is based on the principles of Professor
Bredesen’s approach and covers nutrition, gut health, stress reduction, sleep
optimisation, brain training and exercise. The programme is being delivered
around the country by nutritional therapists. If you would like more information
on this please email me – clare@cytoplan.co.uk.
All the best,

Clare

Have you ever seen/heard of this protocol working on someone who is in the mild to
moderate stage, but unwilling or unable to recognize that there is any
Ellie problem/deficiency and is resistant to help?
18th May 2017 at 9:36 am
I can’t resist saying that anyone who is in this condition is likely to be resistant – the
future painted for them is so bleak they can go into denial. As someone who
Stephanie persisted and got my hubbie on to the programme, i would say that it would be a
Stacey challenge to coerce anyone who is unwilling to make the dramatic changes in life
style needed. However if you could find another way in, it might be possible? For
example, the low gl diet is great for weight loss as well as great for the brain. So if
you are able to find a way to persuade the person you are thinking about to do the
18 de 26 17/10/2017 21:48
diet to support you, or another member of the family, you don’t have to tell them it is
about their memory loss. The same could go for supplements and brain training –
make it all about someone else and not them and they may co-operate. Equally if
they are intelligent they may respond to the youtube films which are available
(search Dale Breseden) to explain the science – I know someone who has used this
as a starting point. Use your imagination and you may be surprised what you can
achieve. However it will be you or someone else who is close to the person you are
thinking of who will have to do this. Good luck

Hi Stephanie,
Thank you your comment on our blog. It is very difficult if someone doesn’t want
cytoffice to engage, thanks for your useful ideas.
We do have some private doctors who are working with Alzheimer’s patients – if
you might be interested in this please email me – clare@cytoplan.co.uk
Dr. Bredesen is releasing a book called ‘The End of Alzheimer’s: The First Program to
Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline’. It is available now for pre-order on Amazon,
Heather with a scheduled release date of August 22, 2017. The cost is $16.50 or you can get
it on Kindle for a little less. If you type ‘Dale Bredesen’ in the search bar, the book
titles comes up immediately.
Excellent article thank you. I had heard of Dale Bredesen via Dr David Perlmutter’s
interviews. At 62 my memory is just starting to play up slightly (despite excellent
Bev diet) and I want to stop any decline in its tracks. Could you let me know where and at
what time Dr Bredesen will be speaking on the 8th Sept? Also I’d be very interested
to hear about the Action Against Alzheimer’s programmes in the UK. Many thanks,
Bev

I would very much like to learn more about the research planned in the UK for this
Lisa project. I am a qualified nurse with personal family experience of Alzheimers disease
Thompson and would like to know how to get involved, either as a research assistant or a
patient. Thank you
Dear Lisa,
Thank you for your question. I’m not sure of timescales currently, but the
cytoffice planned research is Likely to be starting towards end of 2018 and running in the
Lancaster area in conjunction with Lancaster University. This will be publicised
when the trial is due to start.

I am about to launch a website and online community for women in their sixties and
beyond called AfterSixtyClub.com. I have nearly finished Dr. Bredesen’s book, ‘The
Heather End of Alzheimer’s and I am about to share it on our site in our section on Health.
There are many women who are either worried for themselves or for a loved one
who is experiencing this disease. My mother died 2 years ago after a 12 year battle
and I know first-hand what it is like to watch someone you love disappear. Thank you
for expanding your reach with this incredible protocol. I am pleased to be able to
share it through our site and hope it can help make a difference for someone. Even
one life changed would be a miracle.

Do you have all the specific herbs and other supplements available that are
Sarah mentioned in the book? I’d like to be able to source everything needed in one place,
perhaps even bundled together?
31st August 2017 at 4:37 pm
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for your question. Most are indeed contained in our range to support the
cytoffice Bredesen protocol. But it might not be immediately apparent that they are the
same as we have put nutrients together that naturally fit together and our range
is mapped to specific programmes as used by Professor Bredesen in different
sub types. Please email me at amanda@cytoplan.co.uk if you require any further
information.
All the best,

Amanda
1st September 2017 at 2:52 am
Dear Amanda,
I have just read Dr. Bredesen’s fantastic book and have, for the last few days been
Douglas researching how to make the protocol available for my wife who has been diagnosed
Johns and treated for AD for 18 months.
This has achieved widely differing results from various the medication, none of
which have had any noticable positive effect, some indeed having detrimentally
affected her by increasing her anxiety and depression.
Dr Bredesen’s message has for the first time gives me a sense that there might well
be a chance to allow my wife to escape the inevitable fate that has been painted for
her by all, so far. I have read the contents of your pages and all the comments above,
and am in a state of suppressed euphoria sensing that there just may be a future for
my wife.
The big questions are:- how can I get access to the required tests necessary to begin
the process of personalising a protocol for her? Are there test interpretation
facilities available to us? How do I go about getting these?
I really feel so desperate to get something started as time is passing and time is not
what my wife has on her side. I have helped her to implement the Coconut oil and
MCT supplementation to her diet as described by Dr Mary Newport, and this has
had a measurably positive effect on her well-being. This has improved and stabilised
21 de 26 17/10/2017 21:48
her to the point of being calm and a lot less depressed, but only whilst there
continues to be an input of MCT.
The suggestion of an LC diet is one that we will both take on-board, but hope that
this might be only a stop-gap prior moving on to the Bredesen Protocol.
As with Sarah, I’d really be most grateful if you were able to let me have details of all
the specific herbs and other supplements available that are mentioned in the book,
as well as any information you might be able to provide about the tests that are
required.
Dear Douglas,
Many thanks for your post. We will be in contact with you shortly and try to help
cytoffice you with your queries.
All the best,

Amanda
Thanks, Amanda.

Dear Amanda, please could you let me know more about the trials etc in a project
being planned for ?end 2018 at Lancaster University that you mentioned in this
Sue thread.
Madden I live in Kendal Cumbria, have a medical/scientific background and an intense
interest in the way real science (as in asking fundamental questions at all stages in
the genesis of current medical opinion )is now confirming my suspicions about the
true nature of many common diseases whose causes and nature have been
inexcusably misunderstood (bad science elevated to dogma consolidated by vested
interests) eg diabetes, CVD, hypothyroidism and now cognitive decline.
I read widely in my quest to understand what is currently being revealed in all these
fields by people asking the right questions and am very able to discover quickly if a
given source is reliable. Dr Bredeson`s work passed scrutiny – I have read his
recently released book from cover to cover and the papers. This is an unbelievable
breakthrough, to no longer have to fear for people we care for and for the wider
suffering of so many! My biggest fear is that this wonderful news will directly affect
only the relatively well-off, it is hard to see how it can be otherwise. Still, it remains a
huge step forward, and many will soon be able to benefit from it. I`m so pleased to
find your blog and to discover that something will start to happen in the UK, sincere
thanks, Sue Madden
Dear Sue,
Thank you so much for your supportive and positive comments. Our research at
cytoffice Lancaster is progressing slowly through the preliminary and formative stages
and we should have more information and a starting date in about 6 months
time.
We concur that most chronic disease has its origin in a combination of diet and
lifestyle errors and most particularly in a mismatch between genes and lifestyle.
23 de 26 17/10/2017 21:48
Dale’s work has demonstrated this for Alzheimer’s disease and as a complex and
chronic disease it shares many similarities with other chronic diseases such as
Parkinson’s, cancers, osteoporosis etc and we feel it is likely and logical that a
similar diet and lifestyle programme can be used to prevent most common
chronic diseases.
As you suggest the well-off will be able to benefit most from Dale’s work and
receive a higher level of support and therapeutics, but the wonderful reality is
that for people who want to prevent the disease or who are in the early stages
who are motivated or well-supported by family – the protocol can be applied
relatively inexpensively. Motivation is more important than money as this is a
long term diet and lifestyle programme. Have you received a copy of our Action
Against Alzheimer’s book?? This is a self-help guide for people who want to be
self-empowered for optimum cognitive health and utilizes many of the
components of the Bredesen therapeutic protocol. I am very happy to send you a
free copy if you would like this?
Also, we have developed a workshop programme that is being run by Nutritional

Therapists. This is primarily a programme for people before they develop
Alzheimer’s. You can find out more information at http://www.action-against-
alzheimers.co.uk.
All the best,

Amanda
Amanda, is the Action Against Alzheimer’s guide available electronically? I

live in the US and would really like to get a copy.

vassallo medicine for Alzheimer’s which has done absolutely nothing to my mother

Hi Maria,
Thanks for your comment. I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s illness. If you
cytoffice are able to complete one of our health questionnaires, downloadable from our
website, on behalf of your mother I am sure we can give you some help and
guidance as to nutrition, supplements and other lifestyle interventions that could
help your mother. It is also worth you contacting the Institute of Functional
Medicine info@ifm.org to ask if there are any IFM qualified medical practitioners
in your country as this would be an ideal solution for you. Ahead of this, and if
you are able to give me a postal address, I can also send you a copy of our self
help guide called “Action Against Alzheimer’s” which outlines diet and lifestyle
practices that can be used by everyone wanting to optimise their cognitive
health.
Kind regards,
Amanda
I would like a copy of the self help guide “Action against Alzheimers” and any
opportunity to participate in trials or other events/programs. I have mild memory
Isami loss and saw a neurologist who says I am “normal”. I have been in this state for five
Arifuku years or so and want to have my memory back. My father died of Alzheimers and I
want to do what I can to live a non-Alzheimer life. I live in Pinole, CA and would
consider myself very grateful to participate in helpful programs. I’ve seen the 12
videos on Alzheimers and after seeing them, I know that I can prevent it. Thank you
for your help.
25 de 26 17/10/2017 21:48
Hi Isami,
Thank you for your comment. We will happily send you the Action Against
Alzheimer’s book and I will contact you on your email regarding this.
cytoffice Also, it may be worth worth contacting Dr Bredesen @

http://www.drbredesen.com and IFM @ http://www.ifm.org and asking for list of
Doctors in your area who have done the IFM Bredesen Protocol training. We
also believe that there is research starting at the Cleveland Clinic which is the
medical centre allied to IFM, but either Dr Bredesen’s office or IFM will be able to
advise on this.
All the best,

Amanda
