A Dr in the USA, Dale Bredesen, has been testing out a programme to help or reverse Alzheimer’s disease/dementia. He features on Cremola

There have been many false medical dawns in the Alzheimer’s story, as drugs are hyped and appear good in trials, get marketed, make a lot of money and turn out to be of marginal benefit.
This may be due to fiddled trials; but also, Alzheimer’s has complex pathways and being able to interfere with just one or two of them has always been of limited benefit.
A more sober view then is that until researchers get to the bottom of the whole process, to what’s really happening, it’s unlikely to be tackled successfully.
According to the guest Dr Breseden, the latest wonder drug, Lecanemab/Leqembi, is a case in point. He says it wasn’t even the best treatment in the research trial. (It’s been greeted with the usual relief in the media as the latest ‘Thank Goodness’ drug)
He would say that of course…but the sober view would say that if any group is ever going to make a real dent in this disease, it will be one like this.
Here’s Cremola’s summary
Story at-a-glance
• In 2014, Dr. Dale Bredesen published a paper demonstrating healthy lifestyle choices could reverse Alzheimer’s in 9 out of 10 patients. His team is now launching a new randomized, controlled trial at six sites. Biological aging, brain aging and epigenetics will be included in this trial, using newer blood tests that weren’t available even a few years ago
• The glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) test can be a valuable tool. This test basically looks at brain changes associated with astrocytosis. Astrocytes respond when there’s a problem in the brain, so it can give you a heads-up that something is afoot up to 10 years before symptoms set in
• Supporting energy production and reducing inflammation in the brain are the two most important factors to prevent and treat Alzheimer’s
• The entire family of herpes viruses is associated with changes in the brain and neurons. Left untreated, chronic infections put your innate immune system into overdrive. Alzheimer’s is an innate immune system mismatch with the adaptive system. You’re not clearing the pathogen, so you’ve got a continued onslaught of cytokines causing damage in your brain
• Valuable adjuncts that can help improve mitochondrial energy production include methylene blue, niacinamide, NAC and glycine
The successful 2014 mini-trial is here
How is this different from the way drugs are usually developed? It’s a protocol not a pill, attempts to tackle the whole thing.
A ‘Trial balloon’ posits the questions to the research community.
It’s a little understated. But as you can see Dr Dreseden’s team aren’t hanging about, with randomised controlled trials across the USA.
We can watch and wait. I hope to see results before I…forget that I saw it 
Cheers
