Summary of Dale Bredesen's The First Survivors of Alzheimer's

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 I was desperate to find a way to save my brain. I flew to California and met with Dr. Bredesen, who explained that Alzheimer's is not one disease manifestation that can be fixed with a drug. It is a combination of numerous factors that have gone wrong.#2 I was the first patient to test Dr. Bredesen's protocol, and I was able to reverse cognitive impairment. Other patients went on the protocol, and their group grew to ten. Nine of them were able to reverse cognitive impairment.#3 I had a reputation for producing excellent work. I found myself unable to read or understand any of it. I became depressed. It was obvious that I could not represent myself as an expert in anything. I stopped working. I could no longer read a book or understand any of the news articles I was reading.#4 I was a workaholic, and I was always in demand for the next assignment. I grew up in an athletic family, and was a runner. I was obsessed with staying thin, and I tried every new diet. I once ate only grapes for three days.
