Reviews"Alzheimer's is a disease for which there is no cure. Dr. Bredesen's experimental program gives me hope that there are actions we can all take to care for our brains and keep Alzheimer's at bay."  --Maria Shriver,  Today Show   " The End of Alzheimer's  is a monumental work. Dr. Bredesen completely recontextualizes this devastating condition away from a mysterious and unsolvable process to one that is both preventable and, yes, reversible. Pinning our hopes on pharmaceutical research to develop a miraculous wonder drug has left both physicians and patients empty handed. But now, this comprehensive approach offers solid results, bringing hope to so many." -- David Perlmutter, MD, Board-certified neurologist and author, #1  New York Times  bestseller,  Grain Brain,  and  Brain Maker   "This book represents a major turning point in our approach to Alzheimer's disease, from viewing it as a mysterious and incurable affliction that is governed almost exclusively by our genes, to understanding it as a multifactorial condition that can be prevented and even reversed largely through nutrition and lifestyle change. For the first time ever, patients and families affected by Alzheimer's--as well as those at high risk for this devastating disease--truly have a reason to be hopeful." --Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac Founder, Kresser Institute for Functional & Evolutionary Medicine, Author of the  New York Times  best seller  The Paleo Cure   " The End of Alzheimer's  is a masterful, authoritative, and ultimately hopeful patient guide to functional medicine for your brain. It will help you prevent and reverse Alzheimer's disease, whether you have the ApoE4 gene or not. My patients fear Alzheimer's more than any other diagnosis. This is the book to transmute fear into action." --Sara Gottfried, MD,  New York Times  bestselling author of  Younger "Dr. Dale Bredesen is a world class neuroscientist/neurologist who through his innovative and exacting research has discovered a safe and effective approach to the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease that will revolutionize the way we think about the disease." --Jeffrey Bland, PhD, FACN, FACB; President, Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute   " The End of Alzheimer's offers a new beginning in Medicine -- changing the focus from a singular disease to recognizing the systems-based approach required to care for the whole person. Dr. Bredesen translates the knowledge of science to the wisdom that helps to heal our people . . . and provide a vision for the end of Alzheimers!" --Patrick Hanaway, MD, Founding Medical Director, Director of Research, Center for Functional Medicine, Cleveland Clinic   "In this engaging, heartfelt, and insightful book, Dr. Bredesen elucidates a bold new approach to Alzheimer's, rooted in decades of his own pioneering research.  A must read for anyone wondering what can be done for this dread disease, whether for themselves, a loved one, or a patient. " --Nathan Price, PhD, Professor & Associate Director of the Institute for Systems Biology

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

    A wonderful book to help you avoid sliding into Alzheimers or other brain related diseases

    Every adult should read this book. Alzheimers is scary, but few people understand completely how much you can do to prevent or reverse it. Prevention is better. Dr. Bredesen has reversed Alzheimers in most of his patients in his clinics by checking a number of factors and then guiding his patients to make the necessary changes and treatments. He goes deep enough into the story of how he developed his protocols and the science behind it to help us understand why the things he recommends are so important. It's actually a life or death matter as much as many people are in denial. Well worth reading.

  • Top critical review

    Don't believe the hype

    Two stars because the diet suggested in the book has some value. The pompous title and self congratulatory tone throughout suggest Snake oil salesmanship. People have been fleeced upwards of $30K by this "Doctor" and some of the "professionals" he trains to his protocol with little to no result. Wish I had done more research before spending money on the book.

  • The book tells how to heal Alzheimer's, or never get it.

    Wondering if you're heading for Alzheimer's? This book can help you get that answer twenty or thirty years prior to you noticing symptoms. It also explains how to avoid having Alzheimer's becoming a diagnosis for you, and if your loved one is already in bad shape, what can be done to drastically improve their competency. In a world where the the Alzheimer's drugs are less than effective, The End of Alzheimer's explains why, and clearly indicates the path to healing.

  • Breakthrough & Transformational Medicine for anyone with MCI, SCI, Alzheimer’s or any number of other brain issues.

    This is the most informative and cutting edge book on MCI, SCI and any number of other brain issues. A MUST read to reverse and/or prevent brain decline into Alzheimer’s disease. Hope and help are offered here. I did not, however, realize what I was purchasing was a PDF version. That part I did not like or want.

  • A great manuel

    I heard Dr. Bredesen on an interview where I learned about his groundbreaking work revealing we can get rid of Alzheimer's. I wanted lots more detail in print so I could implement his protocol and findings for myself and friends. I believe Dementia & Alzheimer's disease are curable. He goes into detail about the failure of Western medicine and it's industry of drugs to come up with any kind of a solution, much less a possible cure. This book gives you much HOPE and what you can do about it if you wish. It takes a lot of effort and support Dr..Bredesen explains the ReCODE he developed, and also provides an appendix of source foods, supplements and other components including physicians and other health-care practitioners who are knowledgeable, and can help implement the ReCODE in your life. This book is a very practical, easy to use, step by step manual for preventing and reversing the cognitive decline so many are suffering from... .

  • The book is for everyone who is concerned with his "senior minutes"

    You have to learn from the book because your doctor won’t tell you. Your doctor is a knob of the Big Pharma mechanics, the author of the book is not. To be sure, It takes a lot of work to read and understand the book. However, the queue to get the book from the public library is huge. Much more comfortable to have it in your comp!

  • The End of Alzheimers

    It gives us hope. It is a complicated protocol, but I learned so much. If one were deep in the throws of Alzheimer's, a normally functioning caregiver would have to implement this protocol...the patient would not be capable. For example, take the person for all the testing, buy all the supplements and see that they took them, provide the diet.... buy the groceries, cook the food. It certainly would not be easy, therefore I don't expect the masses to jump on the bandwagon. Probably only those with the most education and resources would attempt this.

  • Yes! You should buy this book!

    It is a five-star product because it makes you focus on what is important to restore and maintain good health mentally and physically. Proper nourishment is so important. Eating wholesome, organic foods - avoiding sugar and gluten's, getting proper deep sleep - not just sleep. This book makes you focus on what is going to make you feel great - you just have to read it!

  • My Handbook for Dealing with Alzheimer's

    This book is an incredibly valuable source of information which is why I have it for my personal use in Audible + Kindle + Hard Cover for me to listen to + search when I need information. The book takes a system approach to Alzheimer's with 32 holes in a roof analogy with them falling into three categories = Inflammation + Neurotrophic Deficiencies + exposure to infectious pathogens I buy used copies and give them with my Quick Start paper to help those who could use the information. My experience is that the RECODE Protocol requires a lot of discipline and that the two best opportunities to beat Alzheimer's are the Chapter 7 Cognoscopy with possible ways to improve your chances if caught early. The third, exposure to infectious pathogens seems to have a good recovery chance per Bredesen's second book with people describing what they did to recover.

  • Excellent information

    Dr Bredesen provides his anti-Alzheimer's protocol of ketogenic diet and supplements, based on decades of research and many recovered patients. Very valuable information if you want not to become senile and incapacitated in your later years.
