Bredesen Protocol Treatment
Can the Bredesen Protocol offer hope to patients with Alzheimer’s?
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.
Who is Dale Bredesen? Dr. Dale Bredesen is a neurologist who created a twenty-first-century approach to predict and prevent cognitive decline through holistic lifestyle changes.
Dr. Bredesen is endeavoring to introduce new holistic principles of medicine toward a brighter 22nd century. His work identifies the multi-faceted causes of Alzheimer’s disease and outlines a multi-pronged approach to its prevention.
What is the Bredesen Protocol used for? The Bredesen Protocol is a multi-faceted, holistic, and functional approach used to enhance cognition and reverse cognitive decline.
Current treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease have only shown limited improvement for a small percentage of patients’ symptoms. Yet, they show no positive effect on the progression of the disease.
