...Yet a very small study out of UCLA is offering a glimmer of hope for those with what is often a hopeless diagnosis. Nine out of the 10 patients involved in the study, who were in various stages of dementia, say their symptoms were reversed after they participated in a rigorous program. The program included things like optimizing Vitamin D levels in the blood, using DHA supplements to bridge broken connections in the brain, optimizing gut health, and strategic fasting to normalize insulin levels.
A few months after starting the extreme program, patients in the study, aged 55 to 75, noticed their cognition had either improved or returned to normal. Only one patient, a 60 year-old female who was in the late-stages of dementia when she began the program, continued to decline...

Improving her kidney function, too.
Improvements shown on both MMSE and kidney-related lab tests.
That’s great!
It will be several months before the results of my father’s autopsy are released. Until then, his condition was “dementia consistent with Alzheimer’s Disease,” because he couldn’t have the brain scan.
If it proves to be AD, I’ll (obviously) continue to be very interested in advances in prevention and treatment.
