This book is already outdated because it’s from the year 2000 I was able to get it from the library so I didn’t have to spend any money on it. I was not very impressed by the information included. From personal experience, doing everything that they recommend, doesn’t actually work. The plan for prevention involves more things of that than the kitchen sink, and even some things that are harmful and outdated, like dark organic chocolate, which is filled with lead. This hypocritical book condones people that drink red wine yet shuns people who drink fruit juice, and both of these things are very similar in composition. It also claims the diet is ketogenic, but it’s a mostly plant-based diet without enough meat proteins. I think the stories that they made up or absolute lies. I see no evidence of any truth in them or any proof. ( ) You may remember (and if you do, you may not need this book!) that on the evening news and health news circuit a few years ago, neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen made startling news about a pilot study he had conducted with ten advanced Alzheimer’s patients. He claimed unprecedented success, with improvements in all ten patients. (See Bredesen, D. E., Amos, E. C., Canick, J., Ackerley, M., Raji, C., Fiala, M., & Ahdidan, J. (2016). Reversal of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease. Aging (Albany NY), 8(6), 1250–1258. http://doi.org/10.18632/aging.100981). Of course, this article raised many eyebrows, with debunkers at the ready. Dr. Bredesen is no research lightweight. A search of PubMed shows him authoring scores of peer-reviewed research articles. On the “People’s Pharmacy,” he promised a follow-up book, and we now have it. Dr. Bredesen’s approach rejects the conventional research strategy to date. For example, he regards the signature amyloid plaques as a defense mechanism for the brain, rather than a principal cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Drugs designed to reduce this plaque as a sole strategy are doomed to failure. You can’t argue with one of his points; there is no standard therapy for Alzheimer’s that has made much of a difference. My Dad was on Aricept, for example, and I think the side effects far outweighed any delayed onset of additional symptoms- the therapeutic goal for Aricept, not cure. Dr. Bredesen regarded this initial study as pilot, but the NIH rejected his application for a large clinical trial. He reports that his novel approach of individually evaluating each patient and prescribing a custom, multimodal therapy based on blood chemistry, genetic testing, and brain scans was outside the scope of NIH funding. It probably didn’t help that much of Dr. Bredesen’s approach called for lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, and meditation as well as an herbal supplement regimen. Does this sound like a recipe for rejection by traditional Western Medicine or what? Nevertheless, the book reports that hundreds of patients have now been successfully treated. Whether you view the book as a skeptic or someone trying to desperately deal with their senior moments or both, this is a really interesting book. Even as someone with a reasonable science background, I occasionally found the book is a little difficult to digest, but mostly it is very accessible, and I highly recommend it. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Todos sabemos de alguien que le ha ganado la batalla al cncer, pero nadie conoce ningn sobreviviente de Alzheimer ... hasta ahora. El doctor Dale E. Bredesen, experto en enfermedades neurodegenerativas reconocido internacionalmente, rene en esta obra los resultados de ms de treinta aos de investigacin mdica de vanguardia para crear un sofisticado e innovador programa, prctico y fcil de seguir, con un objetivo sin precedentes: prevenir y revertir los devastadores efectos del Alzheimer y otras formas de inflamacin cerebral. En este libro aprenderemos que el Alzheimer no es una sola enfermedad, como se considera desde el punto de vista teraputico, sino la suma de varios trastornos altamente influenciados por desequilibrios en 36 factores metablicos capaces de detonar "encogimiento" cerebral. Este libro explica el protocolo cientfico diseado para reequilibrar esos mecanismos por medio de ajustes al estilo de vida, incluyendo micronutrientes, niveles hormonales, estrs y calidad del sueo. Bredesen explora el papel central que desempea la alimentacin en el deterioro cognitivo, as como la importancia de la autofagia, la cual implica un estricto ayuno nocturno. Los resultados son sorprendentes: de los diez primeros pacientes atendidos con el protocolo aqu descrito, nueve mostraron una reversin significativa durante los primeros meses del tratamiento, y desde entonces son cientos los pacientes y especialistas mdicos que han atestiguado la inslita mejora.-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
