Reversal of cognitive decline: A novel therapeutic program.
Bredesen DE.
This report describes a novel, comprehensive, and personalized therapeutic program that is based on the underlying pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, and which involves multiple modalities designed to achieve metabolic enhancement for neurodegeneration (MEND). The first 10 patients who have utilized this program include patients with memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), or subjective cognitive impairment (SCI). Nine of the 10 displayed subjective or objective improvement in cognition beginning within 3-6 months, with the one failure being a patient with very late stage AD. Six of the patients had had to discontinue working or were struggling with their jobs at the time of presentation, and all were able to return to work or continue working with improved performance. Improvements have been sustained, and at this time the longest patient follow-up is two and one-half years from initial treatment, with sustained and marked improvement. These results suggest that a larger, more extensive trial of this therapeutic program is warranted. The results also suggest that, at least early in the course, cognitive decline may be driven in large part by metabolic processes. Furthermore, given the failure of monotherapeutics in AD to date, the results raise the possibility that such a therapeutic system may be useful as a platform on which drugs that would fail as monotherapeutics may succeed as key components of a therapeutic system.

生活習慣の変更、サプリメント、ホルモンの複雑なプログラムを用いることで早期アルツハイマー病に関連する記憶障害を回復させる小規模な研究が成功したとの報告が、「Aging」9月号に掲載された。　このプログラムは、米カリフォルニア大学ロサンゼルス校神経学教授のDale Bredesen氏が開発した。

炭水化物や加工食品を含まない食事、定期的な運動、ストレス軽減（ヨガや瞑想）、良い睡眠習慣、魚油・クルクミン・ビタミンDなどのサプリメント、ホルモン療法などの36の要素からなっており、個々の患者に合わせて調整する。
