Bredesen Protocol
for Alzheimer's Disease and
Other Neurodegenerative Diseases

The Bredesen Protocol works to successfully
prevent or reverse Alzheimer's Disease
when used by a certified doctor for their program.

 Everyone forgets stuff.  Key misplacement.  Lost car in parking lot.  Names.  Yes, it happens to everyone.

As we get older, we have more senior moments which are normal.  But if they become more frequent and if they are associated with other cognitive and/or emotional symptoms, then we may think about Alzheimer's Disease or other neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and more.  And we are not alone. 

Most Americans are more worried about Alzheimer's Disease than they are about cancer and heart disease.  And rightly so.  When we lose our memories and our minds, we effectively lose who we are, our true selves.

30 million people had Alzheimer's Disease in 2012.  An estimated one in nine Americans who are 65 years old and older currently have been diagnosed with this neurodegenerative disease.  And 160 million people will have Alzehimer's Disease in 2050.  It is epidemic!

Unfortunately, modern medicine has no effective treatment for this neurological disease.  But fortunately, the Bredesen Protocol can successfully prevent and reverse Alzheimer's Disease if treatment is started early, and it can slow down the progression even if started late! 

Alzheimer's Disease results when resorption of synapses (synaptoclastic) occurs at a faster rate than production of synapses (synaptoblastic).  Inflammation, insulin resistance, lack of nutrients and hormones, and toxins cause weakened neurons and synapses as well as increased production of amyloid as a form of protection.  Essentially, the brain is systematically pruning itself as a natural response to adverse conditions.

Dr. Bredesen has identified five types of Alzheimer's Disease based on their causes.  The main types are Type 1 inflammatory (hot),  Type 1.5 glycotoxic (sweet), Type 2 atrophic (cold), and Type 3 toxic.  Most patients are predominantly one type, but may have features of other types. Each type is treated differently because each type has different causes although they manifest similarly.

ApoE4 is the strongest known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease.  In fact, people with two copies of this marker are at least 50% (and up to 90%) more likely to develop Alzheimer's Disease. However, people can still develop this disease even if they do not have this marker.

Until now, knowing your risk factor was just plain depressing because there was nothing that anyone could do to prevent this disease.  But now, the Bredesen Protocol can make a difference and the earlier that you start the program, then the more likely that you will never experience loss of brain function!

This treatment uses a personalized functional medicine multimodal approach from a certified physician who has completed appropriate training.  Functional medicine emphasizes life style factors (diet, exercise, sleep, stress, relationships) along with clinical imbalances (inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, toxins, insulin resistance, trophic factors, leaky gut/brain, and microbiome) to create an environment conducive to health and healing. Treating chronic infections (such as Lyme disease) and biotoxin illlness (such as mold) are emphasized as appropriate.

Dr. Bazylewicz is a certified physician for the Bredesen Protocol in Southern Ohio near Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Louisville, and Lexington as well as surrounding areas of Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Western Pennsylvania and more.  She follows most of their recommendations, but also includes much more based on her experience with chronic infections and biotoxin illness.  Therefore, she is no longer participating in their various reports.

In order to make an appointment with Dr. Bazylewicz, please read the Patient Information/FAQ page and then fill out the Request Appointment page.  Patients are usually seen initially, then at one month and then every three months.  However, if the disease has progressed significantly, then the patient should be seen monthly for maximum benefit.  Telephone appointments and health coaching appointments for the patient or support person are available between regular in-person appointments if needed.

The Bredesen Protocol works best when started early.  So, if you are concerned about memory loss and if you want to prevent cognitive decline, it is best to be evaluated and treated as soon as possible. 

As Dr. Bredesen says, "Everyone knows a cancer survivor: no one knows an Alzheimer's survivor." This program is changing that statement!

Dr.  Bazylewicz can help you prevent and reverse

the cognitive decline from neurodegenerative disease!

The secret of health

for both mind and body

is not to mourn for the past,

worry about the future,

or anticipate troubles,

but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
