The first Alzheimer's survivors

Everyone knows a cancer survivor, but until today, no one has met an Alzheimer's survivor. In his first two books (The End of Alzheimer's and The End of Alzheimer's - The Program), Dr. Dale Bredesen described revolutionary treatments that can reverse cognitive decline and dementia, two neurological disorders whose outcome previously seemed inevitable. In this third volume, he gives voice to the first survivors of Alzheimer's disease: their stories of hope told in their own words. These first-person stories first trace the astonishment, the refusal to accept fate, then the fight against illness and finally the healing. They describe in a moving and vivid way what it is like to have Alzheimer's disease. They also explain how they made the ReCODE program work for them – the challenges faced, the alternative solutions that had to be found, the encouraging results obtained that are so motivating. Dr. Bredesen then provides commentary at the end of each story to help the reader find tips and tricks that might be helpful to them. Dr. Bredesen's patients not only survived, they managed to return to fulfilling lives, meaningful relationships, and meaningful work. This book will give immense hope to all those suffering from cognitive decline or dementia, and their families.
