Memory Loss Caused By Alzheimer’s Disease Is Reversible Through A Systems-Based Treatment Approach

Alzheimer’s disease and permanent memory loss have always gone hand-in-hand, until now. A new study shows that memory loss in people who have Alzheimer’s disease is reversible through a combination of nutrition, medication, and lifestyle change.
The study, which was conducted by the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, in collaboration with the UCLA Easton Laboratories for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, involved a 10-patient trial in which subjects were tested for signs of memory loss prior to a lifestyle intervention and were tested again afterward. In the trial, improvements in memory were measured by quantitative MRI scans and neuropsychological testing. This study procedure mimics a scientific protocol known as “metabolic enhancement for neurodegeneration.” According to Science Daily, this protocol is the scientific recipe for the reversal of cognitive decline.
