This week episode of "Pushing the Limits" Lisa interviews internationally recognized expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, Dr. Dale Bredesen.
 
Alzheimer's disease is one of the most significant global health threats we face today. It is an ailment that, as our population ages, is forecasted to become a worldwide epidemic. To understand the magnitude of the problem, the COVID-19 pandemic has already led to the death of over one million Americans, however, 50 times more of the currently living Americans let alone the rest of the world— nearly 50 million — will die of Alzheimer's disease if effective prevention and reversal are not implemented. 
 
Mainstream medicine would have you believe that it can't be prevented, is untreatable, and is progressive, with most patients not surviving beyond three to eleven years post-diagnosis.
After having spent myself 8 years researching brain rehabilitation in the effort to save my mum after an aneursym, stroke, multiple concussions, small vessel ischemic disease and brain cancer I know Professor Bredesen's work to be at the very cutting edge and that his programme approach really the only way to go.
 
In this episode you will learn
  • the different types of alzheimer's 
  • the many causes of alzheimers and neurodegeneration 
  • how to take a holistic programme approach to recovering your brain
  • why you should get a "cognoscopy" 
  • how to get on active prevention
  • stories of the first survivors of alzheimers 
  • discussions on the role of toxins, viruses, pathogens, hormones, trophic support, insulin resistance, ketones, adjunctive therapies and more 
This is an episode that could literally save your brain, the quality of your life or that of a loved one so don't miss it 
 
If you want to learn more about brain rehabilitation and the role hyperbaric oxygen therapy plays listen also to this episode with my mum Isobel.
 

Dr. Dale Bredesen Bio

Dr. Dale Bredesen
Changing the world of Alzheimer's Disease Research

An internationally recognized expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases, Dr. Dale Bredesen's career has been guided by a simple idea: that Alzheimer's as we know it is not just preventable, but reversible. Dr. Bredesen's dedicated pursuit of the science that makes this a reality has placed him at the vanguard of neurological research and led to the discoveries that today underlie the ReCODE Protocol™.

Dr. Bredesen earned his M.D. from Duke University Medical Center and served as Chief Resident in Neurology at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), before joining Nobel laureate Stanley Prusiner's laboratory at UCSF as an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow. He held faculty positions at UCSF, UCLA, and the University of California, San Diego. Dr. Bredesen also directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before joining the Buck Institute in 1998 as founding President and CEO.

Dr. Bredesen's research explores previously uncharted territory in explaining the physical mechanism behind the erosion of memory seen in Alzheimer's disease, and has opened the door to new approaches to treatment. This work has led to the identification of several new therapeutic processes that are showing remarkable early results. Dr. Bredesen is a prodigious innovator in medicine, with over thirty patents to his name. Notably, he put much of his findings and research into the 2017 New York Times' Best-S
