Breaking Alzheimers

Breaking Alzheimer's is Dr. Dayan Goodenowe's story of personal and scientific perseverance. The biochemical mechanisms of neurological disease is his area of expertise and was his area of expertise for 15 years before he serendipitously discovered that low plasmalogen levels were causing Alzheimer's. Dr. Goodenowe had never heard of plasmalogens and he had never been taught about them. There are now 15 years of supportive validation of this discovery and access to plasmalogen testing and supplementation is now available to everyone. By sheer will, Dr. Goodenowe has completed the beginning and the middle of this journey such that the plasmalogen genie cannot be put back in the bottle. This book is about bringing the reader up to speed as to where we currently are on this journey and where we are going from here. The Breaking Alzheimer's Video Series and Audio Book will be available through Dr. Dayan Goodenowe's website soon.

Dale Bredesen, MD Author of The New York Times Bestseller The End of Alzheimer's "A brilliant and ground-breaking text on the science and clinical application of plasmalogens for the therapeutic amelioration of Alzheimer's Dementia. I have had the good fortune of observing firsthand the significant, clinical benefits in my patients with neurodegenerative disorders for whom I've prescribed plasmalogen therapy." Mitchel Fleisher M.D., D.Ht., D.A.B.F.M., Dc.A.B.C.T. Medical Director, Center for Integrative & Regenerative Medicine "A bold and promising approach. Dr. Goodenowe has performed groundbreaking and compelling research which is detailed in the book so that afflicted patients and health professionals will become aware of a discovery which may very well change our approach to Alzheimer's. We have been deploying plasmalogen precursors at the Regenesis Project and have found that within the timeframe of a few weeks, people become more alert and cognizant." Sheldon Jordan, MD, FAAN, DABPN, DABCN Medical Director, the Regenesis Project "Dr. Goodenowe has not only identified a biomarker-plasmalogen-that is strongly correlated with dementia, but he has also discovered a way to track and improve that marker allowing ApoE4 carriers, at the highest genetic risk for Alzheimer's, to potentially avoid disease onset. Indeed, many of our members have had a noticeable improvement after addressing low levels." Julie Gregory Founder & President of ApoE4.Info "I strongly recommend this book which I hope will be as transformative for you as it has been for me. It is easy to read and understand and will impact your everyday decision making." Bijan Pourat MD ACC FRCP(C) "Dayan Goodenowe has drilled down to the very core of what makes us tick. His patient 25 year journey of research and invention has unpacked unique and marvelous understanding into how our metabolic engine works. We have a whole new field of medicine opening up called "metabolic medicine" and it runs right through Dr. Goodenowe's inventions. Like tuning your carburetor and timing your engine, we can now heal your mitochondria and make your peroxisomes whistle with the careful measurement and replacement of plasmalogens. The implications of his inventions can't be overstated. This is the end of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer....and who knows what lies ahead in the paradigm shift to true wellness with the absence of disease." John E. Whitcomb, MD Brookfield Longevity Medical Clinic

The 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.

What is dementia? Does it have a deeper meaning? As a loved-one slips away for us, is she or he entering a higher plane? In her groundbreaking book, The Gift of Alzheimer’s, Maggie chronicles her beautiful journey with her late mother who suffered from Alzheimer’s. Miraculously, instead of destroying the lives of her family, the disease strengthened their bonds and revealed something incredible—the ability of Alzheimer’s to connect those it touches with another world. Including the latest research into neuroscience and altered states of consciousness, the book offers hope and a way forward for those affected by this devastating disease. What follows is the extraordinary story of healing, love, and soul-searching undertaken by Maggie and Pat that will make you rethink everything you believe about Alzheimer’s. In a disease that so many find distressing, the La Tourelle family found peace, renewal, and spiritual growth. This revolutionary book not only changes how we perceive Alzheimer’s, but is also a window into the amazing powers of the human psyche and soul. With The Gift of Alzheimer’s, La Tourelle explores the potential for Alzheimer’s patients and their families to find wisdom and meaning in the midst of tragedy and demonstrates how love, above all else, can heal.

After Moses shattered the first set of Ten Commandments, destroying them with the Golden Calf, Moses did not discard those tablets' broken fragments. Although he returned to Mount Sinai to replace the tablets of the Ten Commandments, the shattered shards of the earlier set also were retained. From this the Talmud teaches, "Respect the aged, because the fragments of the original tablets were preserved in the Ark with the new ones" (Babylonian Talmud, B'rachot 8b). Alzheimer's disease represents a human set of broken fragments. American Jews are living longer. With aging comes a greater risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Is there a Jewish response, or a response among Jews, to this worrisome illness? In essays by physicians, Jewish clergy, social workers, and family members of people with Alzheimer's disease, Broken Fragments weaves touching personal stories and rich Jewish texts into each chapter's narrative. It offers the comfort and wisdom of our ancient tradition while providing meaning and encouragement for the Alzheimer's caregiver of today. Book jacket.

The instant New York Times bestseller The New York Times Best Selling author of The End of Alzheimer's lays out a specific plan to help everyone prevent and reverse cognitive decline or simply maximize brainpower. In The End of Alzheimer's Dale Bredesen laid out the science behind his revolutionary new program that is the first to both prevent and reverse symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. Now he lays out the detailed program he uses with his own patients. Accessible and detailed, it can be tailored to anyone's needs and will enhance cognitive ability at any age. What we call Alzheimer's disease is actually a protective response to a wide variety of insults to the brain: inflammation, insulin resistance, toxins, infections, and inadequate levels of nutrients, hormones, and growth factors. Bredesen starts by having us figure out which of these insults we need to address and continues by laying out a personalized lifestyle plan. Focusing on the Ketoflex 12/3 Diet, which triggers ketosis and lets the brain restore itself with a minimum 12-hour fast, Dr. Bredesen drills down on restorative sleep, targeted supplementation, exercise, and brain training. He also examines the tricky question of toxic exposure and provides workarounds for many difficult problems. The takeaway is that we do not need to do the program perfectly but will see tremendous results if we can do it well enough. With inspiring stories from patients who have reversed cognitive decline and are now thriving, this book shifts the treatment paradigm and offers a new and effective way to enhance cognition as well as unprecedented hope to sufferers of this now no longer deadly disease.

There is a very good reason why Sue is getting speaking engagements to educate caretakers and medical personnel about information found in this book! This might be the only book on Alzheimer's and dementia that you need! Whether you purchase this book for yourself, your doctor, or for a friend or church member that is the caretaker for somebody with dementia, you/they will probably be extremely grateful that you did!"I wish Sue's book was available when I was struggling with my Mother's Alzheimer's; it would have put made it "easier" for us to make sense of what was happening to my Mother. I did not know anything about dementia or Alzheimer's before my Mother was diagnosed. All the signs were there: not being able to describe what she went to the store for, getting lost, and questioning how to do things she did her whole life. I knew something was not right, but did not know what. If you notice change or think it's odd that Mom or Dad doesn't remember, please take them for a checkup and find out what you can do to help them. It is a terrible disease it robs you of your mind, and you are no longer the person you once were and will never be again. She is now my child and I am her protector... " Beth Erickson"Alzheimer's and dementia touches almost everybody's life... It touched my life. My grandmother had dementia. My mother had reversible dementia. This started my journey of researching and attending every conference and class I could to help me personally deal with this. I saw how my mother and brothers struggled as they took care of MaMa, my grandmother. I saw how Annie's family struggled with it. Beth struggled with it too as she shared her personal testimony. After over 800 pages of research, between 1 � - 2 years in the making, and attending many conferences and classes, the result is this book. Soon after I started this book-writing journey, I contacted the American Geriatrics Society who gave me permission to list "Potentially Inappropriate Medication Use in Older Adults". That was huge in my opinion to receive permission to publish their chart in this book. I was humbled by that experience.Chapters in the book: Understanding how the brain "breaks" What it might feel like to have dementia Myths and Facts What is Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease Types of Dementia Conditions Masked/Diagnosed as Dementia (Reversible dementias-worth buying the book for) Could Your Loved One Have Dementia or Alzheimer's If Alzheimer's is not reversible, why seek treatment Finding the Right Doctor Preparing for the Doctor's Visit Types of Testing Dealing with Each Level of Alzheimer's Getting Their Affairs in Order Dementia Risk and Prevention Resources for Caretakers Dangerous Medications for Seniors to TakeTestimoniesOther Recommended Books
