Bredesen has written a number of papers on Alzheimer's, but these three are notable in that they show the improvements in patients when they used his protocol.

The first paper is particularly important in that he explains, in Table 1, exactly what the protocol he used consisted of. (He's since updated and refined it and has written a couple of books detailing the new version.) I always recommend that people skip the Introduction (unless you're a science geek like me) and go directly to the Results. The information in the Results isn't difficult reading, and it's absolutely fascinating!

These papers will give you hope. Please let me know if you have any questions (about Bredesen's MEND protocol or anything else). I'm honestly happy to help in any way I can.
