I updated my draft today for the complete 9 months of my third year with AZ.

#361 The End of Alzheimer's Program by @DrDaleBredesen
P 58 "the first (AZ) survivors are already here
Surprised @ginakolata hasn't picked up on this yet.
@DrDeborahMD

#362 #Alzheimers
"The first of the plan’s five goals: prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer’s by 2025" From @alzassociation .

#363 #Alzheimers
Maybe the AZ survivor that @DrDaleBredesen is referring to is in this paper? researchgate.net/publication/32… Since this paper was written in 2018 I think it is time for an update on the survivors. @DrDeborahMD Reversal of Cognitive Decline: 100 Patients

364/ #Alzheimers
Below are the list of AZ survivors in @DrDaleBredesen article. I highlighted two that I would like a follow up on.
This paper:
Reversal of Cognitive Decline: 100 Patients
was written in 2018 @DrDeborahMD

365/ #Alzheimers
I guess my mistake is equating survivor with cure.
No one is making that claim @DrDeborahMD

366/ #Alzheimers
It seems Julie Gregory may be the first "cure" of Alzheimers? @DrDeborahMD Do U know her?

367/ #Alzheimers
@ginakolata R U aware of Julie Gregory who may Bfirst "cure" of Early onset Alzheimers homozygous positive? She now has a site for gene + patients. ApoE4.Info
Her routine is very arduous and extensive. @ZKForTre @kevinnbass @PeterAttiaMD

368/ #Alzheimers
@DrDaleBredesen says in his book published 2020
"there R people who have sustained their improvement on our protocol for more than 8 years now"
Pretty remarkable. @JoanneKenen @GretchenReynold @Drlipid @dylanlscott @PamBelluck @robsteinnews @RobertLangreth

@DrDaleBredesen @JoanneKenen @GretchenReynold @Drlipid @dylanlscott @PamBelluck @robsteinnews @RobertLangreth 369/ #Alzheimers
There needs to be clarification of terms. What would a cure of AZ entail. First the patient needs an brain autopsy. In my trial I gave permission to autopsy my brain.

420/ #Alzheimers @drsanjaygupta book just arrived. Best book on AZ I have read. I have several problems w it.
1- He is against artificial sweeteeners because they affect gut biodome, however he does not advise probiotics.
2- Thryve test 4 gut biodome
meandgin.blogspot.com/2021/02/thryve…

421/ #Alzheimers Keep Sharp may B easiest book for general public to understand. Easy read probably due 2 @drsanjaygupta experience as journalist. Book has lapses
p 163 "What's good 4 heart is good for brain" Yet no mention of statins?

@drsanjaygupta 422/ # Alzheimers I was pleased @drsanjaygupta mentioned Dr. Issacson's work on p164. I learned of him on @PeterAttiaMD podcast. Neither of them mention @DrDaleBredesen who has done similar work & results??
meandgin.blogspot.com/2020/12/introd…

423/ #Alzheimers
@drsanjaygupta does not list #ketosis in index? I think this is a major mistake. On p170 he writes "AZ can now be considered type 3 DM" He does not offer ketones as alternative brain food. As a neurosurgeon he knows better.

424/ #Alzheimers
@drsanjaygupta is right about DM2 usually due 2 central obesitIy. Both R my problems. 0n p172 his solution is the "ABC diet" I can quarrantee him it would not cure my DM2 or my obesity. I suspect he has not heard of the "reduced obese"

meandgin.blogspot.com/2018/05/the-va…

425/ #Alzheimers
@drsanjaygupta is wrong about fish 2x a week for omega3's
He needs to get a @OmegaQuant 2 test himself. His warnings on p176 R overblown. I have taken Lovaza for a decade w no problem & great "nonfasting" TG. meandgin.blogspot.com/2019/11/how-to…

426/ #Alzheimers @drsanjagupta does not list magesnium in his index. It's easy to have low Mg especially if U drink wine. meandgin.blogspot.com/2020/07/magnes… Lab doesn't dx it, muscle cramps are a good clue.

427/ #Alzheimers p253 @drsanjaygupta advises Aricept & Namenda. I take both as Namzaric since my Dx in Dec 2017.
4 all I know it has helped me the most? No side effects.

428/ #Alzhimers @LukeEdwards504 @MarkEdw56369259 @bmaccullough above is a long thread reviewing a new book. This is a good book for lifestyle changes to prevent AZ or worsening of AZ since Amyloid starts 10 yrs earlier. Too much emphasis on diet. Good scientific advice
