"Meat is a condiment, not the main course."
Dr. Dale Bredesen is a neurologist and researcher who developed one of the first protocols claiming to reverse early-stage cognitive decline. The End of Alzheimer's argues that Alzheimer's isn't one disease with one cause but a final common pathway for dozens of underlying imbalances — inflammation, toxins, nutrient deficiencies — and lays out a personalized, multi-pronged protocol to address them.

Read Summary →Bredesen frames cognitive decline as the result of dozens of possible imbalances — inflammation, insulin resistance, toxin exposure, nutrient gaps — rather than a single disease with a single drug target.
Because the contributing causes vary by person, Bredesen's protocol relies on extensive testing to identify each patient's specific imbalances, then addresses them simultaneously rather than with a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Eliminating simple carbohydrates and treating meat as a condiment rather than a main course are central dietary recommendations, aimed at reducing the inflammation and insulin resistance Bredesen links to cognitive decline.

Dr. Dale Bredesen's ReCODE protocol identifies 36 contributors to Alzheimer's and addresses them all simultaneously — the first published evidence that cognitive decline can be reversed.
