When conventional medicine talks about this devastating illness, it mentions no cure. But when Following functional medical guidelines, especially when caught early rather than in the late stages, it is reversible.
We only need to look at the monumental work of Dr Dale BREDESDEN to realise that dementia can be turned around.
The actual methods that we use to induce change in the 36 different trigger factors mentioned by Bredesen for dementia, are those relating to our functional medicine work. This looks at the metabolic biochemistry and root cause processes behind the illness. It measures changes that are all manageable when a knowledgeable physician works with a patient and family.
Make no mistake, that these are not simple issues. It takes a lot of persistence, to really focus and be determined to address all aspects of health that are needed to conquer dementia. But with the right help and support, it can be done and you can do it! The key is to catch it as early as possible!
Maybe I shouldn’t mention autism and schizophrenia in the same breath as Alzheimer’s or dementia. But when these three conditions have been studied, they have one major thing in common and that is they show large ventricles in the brain. Therefore, it is possibly that all these conditions could be reversed by similar means.
Indeed, in my clinical experience, with my own son who has schizophrenia, ( by the way this is a ridiculous name for a condition involving essentially what is “neuroinflammation”)he now has his life back. He remains on some medication called Clozapine; he remains on a functional medication called low dose naltrexone and he has managed his lifestyle aggressively together with my help, over a period of two years, which subsequently shifted something fairly major. He moved from a cocooned like state, with poor memory and social interaction, to living a normal life, now studying for accountancy qualifications, working in a bar and playing tennis without becoming psychotic, which he was previously. In short; he has his life back!
If you look at the work of Bredesen you will see that it is complex. However in reality, we will be able to help you with the tests and knowledge that you require to turn your life around.
Admittedly there are a lot of tests initially, but if you are able to engage with the process, preferably with help from your family, then anything is possible. Slowly and surely we will help you get back on your path.
