Alzheimer's
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. It is a progressive disease beginning with mild memory loss and possibly leading to loss of the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment. Alzheimer’s disease involves parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language.
More than 6 Million People of all ages have Alzheimer’s
1 in 3 seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. It kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined.

Risk Factors
Chronic inflammation whether due to infection leaky gut poor diet or other factors
Sugar toxicity causes both inflammation and insulin resistance and therefore contributes to type 1 & 2 Alzheimer’s
Some toxins are determined to cause dementia , examples are metal such as Mercury and some biotoxins
Vascular damage and poor blood flow are important contributors to type 4 Alzheimer’s disease
Reduction in hormonal vitamins nutrients or growth factors support drives type 2 Alzheimer’s disease
Head trauma due to a concussion or injuries is an important contributor to type 5 Alzheimer’s disease

Bredesen Protocol for Alzheimer's Treatment
A diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is frightening. The cognitive impairment, memory loss, and inevitable cognitive decline can seem like a death sentence to both patients and loved ones. The standard reductionist approach seeks to boil every problem down to its most basic components. Most modern medicine is looking for a single silver bullet cure found in monotherapeutic treatment (translation: one medication that will cure Alzheimer’s).
This approach does not take into account the fact that Alzheimer’s disease “manifests from the confluence of multiple factors” (Bredesen, 2020, p. xiii). Treating Alzheimer’s disease requires the equally multi-faceted response of functional medicine. “Holism considers any and all options available if there’s something positive to offer” (Bredesen, 2020, p. xiii).
In other words, there is no single drug that can treat Alzheimer’s… But perhaps a protocol that addresses the many factors that lead to Alzheimer’s can make a difference.
