Avery The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words

When combined with his other book, this is a must read groundbreaking book for anyone with the Alzheimer’s gene or who know someone close this the disease.

I’ve seen quite a few comments in the reviews that the people going through Alzheimer’s don’t remember their glitches. I can tell you this; This is NOT the facts. Here’s my OWN small piece of a huge story: I was struggling with major memory loss, loss of smell and other senses. Loss of time, loss of sense of direction and a general loss of connection. I couldn’t get out of bed I couldn’t find my way to the grocery store. I had no recollection of what had done the day before let alone my week. I was a danger to myself, and those around me there were times I couldn’t even figure out how to work my stove and the buttons were unfamiliar. I couldn’t figure out recipes that I’ve known my entire life. I couldn’t remember that my beautiful husband to be said he was going to the store so I search the house, and when I couldn’t find him I wandered into the street where the police found me disoriented and lost. I was scared, terrified and feeling very alone. When I got home, I had no recollection of the experience. Let alone, even coming to the realization that I had urinated myself in the middle of the street. I remember being so devastated that I could not find the words to describe what I was going through. I completely lost the feeling of a deep connection with my loved ones which was terrifying. I knew their faces, but felt no soulful or spiritual connection to them. It was as if I was desperately searching for a counterpart, but feeling very little through a veil of plastic cellophane wrap, and cotton-wads that were preventing and even deflecting any new and old information that I’ve known for years from entering my thoughts. I felt like static was in the middle of my brain, and then like I was being lodged headfirst into a fishbowl three sizes smaller than my cranium all while being transfixed by a pair of doll rusting butter, knives, being thrust, deep in to my already thumping, aching, confused fatigued skull that feeling was utterly petrifying, and I was panic stricken with no abilities to express how I was feeling whatsoever! I had zero sense of time or direction, three hours felt like five minutes what should’ve been familiar streets were now uncharted by my memory. I lost access to all passwords that I’ve known for years and all phone numbers that I’ve kept in my memory bank, my entire life. That is what I describe as THE FOG and I’m in sheer panic stricken mode when I think of going back to that place. My husband said all he could see was that my eyes were terrified.I later found out that I had inhalation Alzheimer’s that I got from toxic mold!!! When I got well from the Bredesen protocol, I remembered everything!!!! I remember those glitches and being so angry that I couldn’t express them to anybody.. My story sounds a lot like those written in this book, except mine was written two years ago before I even knew this book existed.. So these stories are not ALL written by the same author at all! These stories are shared by people with one thing in common- middle stage Alzheimer’s.The English language only consists of so many words to get how Alzheimer’s FEELS across… Unless you have experienced it yourself. You will NEVER understand. Please do yourselves a favour pick up this book educate yourselves and then pass it onto somebody’s suffering because it is the best gift of hope that you can possibly hand to somebody that was in the same situation I once climbed out of. IT IS possible I promise you!!

Easy to read, entertaining, full of practical advice and joy.

Lots of recommendations in this book that appear to have some level of scientific backing. Lots of common sense things that we forget throughout the course of our lives that are really critical to remember, get right, and reintroduce into our lives. But this book and read it earlier in your life than you need it, like age 30-40.

Good to hear what happens in the real world. Very interesting seeing treatments work. Always knew keto affects the brain positively
