Summary

«Un libro que [...] ilumina nuestra lucha en la oscuridad, ofrece un camino científico claro para terminar el azote de una enfermedad que roba la mente a millones». - Doctor Mark Hyman, autor de los bestsellers Come grasa y ade/gaza y La solución del azúcar en la sangre

En El fin del Alzheimer, Dale Bredesen expuso la ciencia de­ trás de su revolucionario y novedoso protocolo, el primero en prevenir y revertir los síntomas de la enfermedad de Alzheimer . En esta ocasión, traza a detalle el programa que aplica con sus propios pacientes, en su consultorio. Es tan accesible que se puede modificar para cubrir las nece­sidades de cualquier persona, a cualquier edad. Lo que conocemos como enfermedad de Alzheimer es más bien una respuesta protectora del cerebro ante una gran variedad de agresiones: inflamación, resistencia a la insulina, toxinas, infecciones, niveles inadecuados de nutrientes, hormonas y factores de crecimiento. Pero gracias a la investigación cien­tífica del doctor Bredesen, hoy podemos descubrir exacta­mente que detonan esas agresiones y evitarlas al mejorar nuestra alimentación y estilo de vida. Con anécdotas inspiradoras de pacientes que ya han revertido su deterioro cognitivo y progresan de manera cotidiana, este libro brin­da una esperanza sin precedente para quienes padecen esta enferrnedad, la cual ya ha dejado de ser mortal.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

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.
