Survivor of Alzheimer’s Disease

You can become a Survivor of Alzheimer’s Disease. I am writing my story to give you hope and proof that Alzheimer’s can be reversed. With Dr. Dale Bredesen’s protocol, all of us can now prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s. This is a gift that our previous generation did not have. It is a miracle that you can have- if you are willing to change.

As a nurse, I cared for Alzheimer’s patients who were scared and confused because they did not understand what they needed to do and how to do it. Their families grieved. Sadly, advanced Alzheimer’s is a living Hell. Unfortunately, for most people it is a long, sad, and expensive process before death finally occurs.

My main point is that Dr. Dale Bredesen’s Reversal of Cognitive Decline (ReCODE) program actually works! This is in sharp contrast to today’s mainstream medical message that there is no cure for Alzheimer’s Disease. The anti-amyloid drugs currently available from traditional medicine only slow Alzheimer’s decline. They do not reverse the decline. But Dr. Bredesen’s ReCODE protocol does reverse the decline! And the anti-amyloid drugs risk serious negative side effects like brain bleeding and exorbitant costs.

My own reversal of Alzheimer’s is ongoing. But beyond a shadow of doubt, the changes required and the cost are worth it! In 2015, a physician told me that I would progress to advanced Alzheimer’s disease based on my diagnosed presence of beta amyloid plaques in my brain. I had many cognitive problems, including an inability to identify if the smaller arrow on an analog clock represented the hour or the minute. On a Montreal Cognitive Assessment, I officially scored Mild Cognitive Impairment. But my memory losses were not mild! I remember sadly telling myself, “Forget the denial, I have Alzheimer’s“ after I forgot to pick up my granddaughters to take them to school.

My miracle began in 2016 when I started Dr. Dale Bredesen’s Reversal of Cognitive Decline (ReCODE) protocol. Now, 9 years later, my brain works better than it did 25 years earlier.

The ReCODE protocol makes my life worth living! The benefits – living my life with a functioning brain – are well worth the costs. The costs include changes in my lifestyle behaviors and seeing a functional practitioner trained in Dr. Bredesen’s protocol.

I have written this to convey that you (or a loved one) can become a Survivor of Alzheimer’s Disease also. Your life and brain are worth the effort! The key is knowledge of Dr. Dale Bredesen’s protocol and a willingness to change. If you don’t want to follow ReCODE for yourself– consider doing it for the ones you love!
