Synopsis

First person stories of patients who recovered from Alzheimer's Disease--and how they did it.

It has been said that everyone knows a cancer survivor, but no one has met an Alzheimer's survivor – until now. In his first two books, Dr. Dale Bredesen outlined the revolutionary treatments that are changing what had previously seemed like the inevitable outcome of cognitive decline and dementia.  And in these moving narratives, you can hear directly from the first survivors of Alzheimer’s themselves--their own amazing stories of hope told in their own words.
 
These first person accounts honestly detail the fear, struggle, and ultimate victory of each patient's journey. They vividly describe what it is like to have Alzheimer's. They also drill down on how each of these patients made the program work for them--the challenges, the workarounds, the encouraging results that are so motivating. Dr. Bredesen includes commentary following each story to help point readers to the tips and tricks that might help them as well.

Dr. Bredesen's patients have not just survived; they have thrived to rediscover fulfilling lives, rewarding relationships, and meaningful work. This book will give unprecedented hope to patients and their families.

Accessible, easy to read book further explaining Bredesen's RECODE protocol for Alzheimer's prevention/reversal. As someone with a familial propensity to late-onset dementia, I'm interested in Bredesens's research and have already begun implementing some of his suggestions. My only complaint about t......more

Goodreads review by Jeannie on July 16, 2022

The thought of Alzheimers looming in our senior years is very scary. Dr. Bredesen has challenged the way it had been treated in the past. His research has led him to believer that a person may develop Alzheimers as part og aging but that there are probably underlying infections or allergies or envir......more

Goodreads review by Sheila on November 12, 2021

Interesting and hopeful follow up to Bredesen’s previous books detailing how people can reverse cognitive decline using his RECODE protocol. This protocol, which includes steps such as improving insulin sensitivity, ensuring proper hormone levels,and minimizing inflammation, involves some lab testin......more

Goodreads review by Chad on March 28, 2022

The majority of the book was very good! There is hope for Alzheimer’s. I feel that the end of the book moved off topic and started using Alzheimer’s to address other topics. Overall I would recommend this read especially to people who have Alzheimer’s in their family.......more

Quotes

"Perhaps the most important quality for Alzheimer’s patients and their families is hope, and in The First Survivors of Alzheimer’s, seven survivors offer genuine hope, both with their poignant stories and with their descriptions of the protocol details that led to their own successes. This is an inspiring book for the millions dealing with the challenges of cognitive decline and for those who want to prevent it."—Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global

"Dr. Bredesen takes us beyond the scientific validation of his program to reveal the depth of the personal narrative of those brave and pioneering individuals who chose to participate in his vanguard, approach to their illness... Although it challenged them and their loved ones to the core, they were rewarded with recovery."—David Perlmutter, MD, FACN, Board-certified neurologist, author, #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain and Brain Wash

"In The First Survivors of Alzheimer’s, 7 patients describe their struggles and ultimate triumphs, using the protocol developed by Dr. Bredesen. This book restores hopes for the millions of families impacted by Alzheimer's!"—Terry Wahls, MD and author The Wahls Protocol

"Amazing success stories of Alzheimer's patients that have been victorious in using the revolutionary program that the author, renowned neurology scientist and clinical innovator,  Dr. Dale Bredesen has developed. This is a must read for all those that have heard that Alzheimer’s is an untreatable disease."—Jeffrey Bland, PhD, FACN, FACB, President of Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and Founder of Institute for Functional Medicine
 
"In his new book, The First Survivors of Alzheimer’s, Dr. Dale Bredesen continues to amaze and hearten readers who are either suffering from memory issues, have a loved one with memory issues, or have been told that they carry the Apo E 4 gene, and that it is only a matter of time until memory loss occurs. I have had the pleasure of knowing Dr Bredesen for many years now and have even shared mutual patients, so I know first hand that he knows what' he's doing! In uplifting patient stories, told in their own words, in easy to follow advice, and the reasons for that advice, Dr Bredesen has again written the definitive testing, eating, and life-style plan to not only reverse dementia, but perhaps more importantly, as he and I do daily in our practices, prevent it from happening in the first place. Your mind (and your whole body) will thank you for reading and following this book!"—Steven R Gundry MD, four time NYTs bestselling author of The Plant Paradox, The Longevity Paradox and Founder and Medical Director of The International Heart and Lung Institute and The Centers for Restorative Medicine
