Partner insisted GP to send me to have a brain MRI done. The result was normal for my age. My GP was happy and advised that no further investigation required. "Normal people" would be happy and would stop here, but not my partner :-) .He knew someone who could introduce me to a company currently doing testing for amyloid plague removal drugs. This group did the PET scan for me and I was also to perform a series of face to face cognitive tests. The result was : pathology test (PET scan) shows I have Alzheimer's, but as my cognitive test result was OK it was not conclusive, hence I am not qualified to join the trial (not that I want to join, as one of the side effects is brain bleed). Now I am doing all I know of, to improve brain health in general. I would be great to know if there are any other people in my same situation.

Ozone treatments have helped a friend of mine! As a nurse I’d never heard of it. It’s been fascinating to watch her receive these treatments and get better. Ozone is O3 so super oxygenated blood. They draw out blood and infuse it with ozone then reinfuse. She’s gotten better with each one and has done four treatments. One must be sent to a naturopath to get this. Her physician didn’t know how to help her so she sent her to a naturopath. I think we need to rethink modern medicine. It’s so good in so many ways and not good enough in others.

You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity, get enough sleep and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks including fruit juices are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility.

Double 4 here as well. First time I heard of Apoe was when I bought Dr. Perlmutter's "The Better Brain Book" when my mom started showing signs of cognitive problems. Double 4 is not our destiny, but it was my wake-up call that I needed to make dramatic changes in my lifestyle if I wanted to avoid that same fate as my mom. I had not heard of Dr. Sandison until tonight, but I am definitely going to get her book. We need more creative doctors like her screaming that yes there is hope, yes we can fix this. Thanks Dr. Perlmutter for delivering great content like this.

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

Read Dr Bredesen's book in 2017, gifted it multiple times. One of my all time favorite books. Started the RECODE protocal then and never looked back. Made some tweaks here and there. I did it strictly as a preventative measure with no regrets. I support your sentiments about a Nobel prize. I liked the fact that he started in research, went back to medical school and then back to research. He has been right about the single drug approach. Thank you both.

Thank you so much for this interview, which is so hopeful on this horrific disease. I have followed the work of Dale Bredesen on this topic also.

Methylene blue and coconut oil are good. VitD, magnesium,Zink and selenium are important. Not to forget Keto and exercise.

He had us doing "patterning" with the child - more or less crawling through a construction within a limited amount of time In 1968-1970 we had a science teacher in HS (Mr. Roth) whose infant son was motorically-challenged. He had us doing "patterning" with the child - more or less the child crawling through a construction within a limited amount of time to do so - after which he was to breathe into a plastic bag/mask for 2 minutes which was supposed to raise the child's cognition and acumen through deficiency. This somewhat seemingly barbaric procedure achieved good results over the course of the year. Thanks for your research, video and positive energy. I'm sorry that covid has affected you so very drastically, Dr. Sandison, My brother (75) reports similarly. His other infections and fungii probably contribute to an exacerbation of/to his brain-fog.

Get in DAO, take Pepcid and the big one is Alpha Lipoic Acid to knock down inflammation. But the base is the diet....low Histamine. I had brain fog, pains in my gut and back pain. Doing this has reduced all my symptoms. Plus taking Choline ade a huge difference in my brain fog. I focus so much better and more energy. Lyme triggers the herpes virus and Epstein Barr already in the body causing the chronic fatigue syndrome 😮

Really, show me one documented case. If this were true there would be works famous clinics treating rich people from around the world at enormous profit. Alzheimer's is basically type 3 diabetes.
