Alzheimer's Treatments That Actually Worked In Small Studies! (Based On New, Cutting-Edge, Correct Theory!) That Will Never Be Tested & You Will Never Hear About From Your MD Or Big Pharma !

..I keep thinking to myself, while it would be easy to do so just for the lack of proper editing; think of the greater good that the message can bring. And that is kind of where the matter gets two-sided (and remains so for me), because this book is the ONLY one that I found so far that could actually make a difference in dealing with a case of A., in terms of providing a way to a cure, in a circle of family (and/or friends, which ever applies to you), IF they would also read it and understand that giving it a try is a most reasonable action to consider, for their loved one(s).Reading it however, goes well into a third or half of the book at most, as the author narrates a long thought with short side stories, to give you a summary of conclusions based on his research, studies, and those of others, as he pieces them together. After that, I slowly started loosing it (the thread, not like A.), and then, really lost, to the point I had to lay it aside, and there is no way of getting help from an index (absent), headings (absent), titles of chapters (no chapters; no titles), etc., as the book starts pasting copies of medical reports one after another, without indications of who or what they mean.This is aside from the fact that, even though the author made an effort to bring the message in 'common people's language', medical knowledge and terms/abbreviations tend to blindside one still, in reading, without 'help' being available (i.e. what about short abbreviation lists at the start of a chapter/paragraph ?).On the redeeming side (hence the title of the review) then; the effort to make this unique insight available to a large audience (the 'world') alone, is something to be grateful for. In short, the author has had a lifelong interest in the process of aging, and made a connection to the A. disease approximately 20 years ago, with certain hormones being the connection between the two. He then stumbled upon connections between agents/hormones that counteract those same hormones that are responsible for both aging and the disease, especially so in (small-scale) studies with real humans, and confirmed by finding in studies with animals; hence, the real potential for a cure.It is obvious that the author has a certain amount of grudge and contempt in regards to established medical science, scientists, etc., and the pharmaceutical industries that employ those, as he is also pointing out why a finding like the one he did (and others) never made/makes it to mainstream medical world, with the take-way being that; there is no money in it, because the potential curing agents/hormones, are already readily available to everyone, both in 'over-the-counter' format, as well as by doctor prescription (good luck though, getting that doctor on board); personally I would put my hopes in the 'over-the-counter' hormone, Melatonine in this case, which as we know is active in sleep cycles in humans (i.e. we take it to get over a jet lag), for more than one reason; less (severe) side-effects, easily available. What's there to loose, why not start today ?Concluding; if this were properly edited, it would be a five+ stars; hence, four stars mainly for content/ideas, and would recommend it.

Alzheimer's disease is a horrible disorder. It total destroys the mind of an individual and ruins all his/her relationships as well as the lives of the relatives and friends of the affected person (who can be anyone of us soon in our greying population!). Though this condition is simple a function of aging and genetically determined. Overall the argumentation presented in this book is absolutely logical. It makes sense that age-related changes in sex-hormones drive aging and age-associated diseases such as dementia. It will be very surprising if they would not have any effect at all on the mind of a living being. In such this book wonderfully explains why such devastating condition is just a side effect of the age-related changes and can be cured by reversing the alterations of aging.Further the author fantastically pinpoints to an enormous problem of our profit-orientated system: In our capitalistic economy there will be no support for anything which does not make it possible to earn a lot of money out of it, even if the cure is already found to save millions of minds and lives. Sad but true, our world is just like this.However there is hope! As the author figured out by his great effort in deciphering the root cause of Alzheimer's disease, there are simple solutions of powerful treatments to prevent and even reverse the impending mental doom which threatens all of us as we get older.Many thanks to the author for the great insights! It is amazing and a great read.I can really recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the truth. Please spread the message all over the world to save lives!

The author has no credentials, the science and writing is extremely amateurish, the book has had no editing.More than half of the book is defensive jibes at the scientists who rejected his simplistic theory that Alzheimers Disease (AD)is caused by luteinizing hormone (LH). I am not a part of the medical community, but based on my own research of Alzheimers I'd say that LH is probably not causal but incidental. It is produced by the pituitary, apparently as a signal to produce reproductive hormones, so it normally becomes very elevated when the reproductive cycle ends. In AD patients, according to Bowles, it is even more elevated and is found in impressive amounts in the brain. That may be because progesterone levels are lower in AD patients, or because the pituitary is damaged from the free glutamate that it can't process. (Pituitary tumors are common in people with AD and those who manufacture MSG.) The genetic picture of AD involves a failure in an enzyme system which results in inefficient production of the precursor of hormones, which results in excessive amounts of wasted free glutamate as well as hormonal imbalances. High levels of LH may well be a marker for AD and/or other brain damage, but there was no evidence presented in the book that indicates it destroys tissues or does any harm. It may end up being like cholesterol - the bandaid that is falsely accused of being the splinter. And just like artificially lowering cholesterol with statin drugs may cause more damage and death than leaving it alone, so attempts to lower LH by inadequately tested drugs and hormones may cause more damage.Bowles first presents as a cure for Alzheimers, a drug that has such bad side effects that at the end of the book he recommends you only try it as a last resort. (And it was all but withdrawn from the market due to questionable and unencouraging research.)He prescribes massive doses of Vitamin D3, which could be toxic. Vitamin D3 should certainly be taken, but not above 5,000 IU per day unless blood work is done regularly.He also prescribes massive doses of melatonin, which he explains will cause some undesirable side effects such as loss of sexual desire, and baldness in women, but he thinks it's worth it in order to prevent AD. That might be true if there were actually evidence that it would prevent AD, and not by shortening the life span. I was very pleased to find out some of the connections he presented about melatonin, but I do not think it is a good practice to prescribe massive doses of it (and other hormones) as he does. Mixing up the hormonal balances even further by trial and error, and without benefit of research, is a dangerous prospect. It would be much more rational and health promoting to try to normalize melatonin production(and adrenal health) through walking in early morning sunlight and encouraging serotonin production (the precursor of melatonin) through exercise, relaxation, cocoa, etc.Bowles does not discuss the possibility that the damage may be caused by excitoxins such as glutamate, artificial sweeteners, and cortisol, nor by heavy metals such as aluminum, iron, excessive calcium, though all of those have been proven to damage the brain and be involved in AD. Nor does he discuss the enzyme system failure, which can be greatly helped by increasing magnesium and B-complex.The damage from AD involves many different facets, from the body's inability to utilize glutamate and produce certain metabolic enzymes, to the ability to detoxify heavy metals and pesticides, to the inability to digest wheat, rice, and flax seeds. There can be no bullet cure, and it is irresponsible to expect one, or to promote as a cure some hormone or drug that has never been proven to be a cure.While I appreciate the information I learned about melatonin, I do not recommend this book to anyone, and suggest that the author withdraw this book until he can investigate recent research into AD itself, and into alternative treatments for brain repair, such as lecithin, berries, and exercise.

I read Jeff's VitD3 book, which was great and very helpful (and I can attest to the healing potential of ViTD having used it myself (before reading his book)). So having dementia in the family I had to read this too. Sure, the theories he comes up are not well tested yet (as they are quite novel after all), but they do constitute a ray of hope with an illness that has not much hope attached to it yet. His treatment protocols seem innocuous enough, and do not cost the world - so I hoping that they will be given a try in my family!!!!

I would recommend anyone with an open mind read this book and his book regarding vitamin d3. This is certainly not to be ignored and gives another view and possible ray of hope!

Great book - love the way Jeff writes and informs you of current thinking and of course his own! Well worth reading and taking his advice

A very interesting read and I am taking the recommended supplements. Now let's see what happens . . . (if I can remember) . . .

seems to me more pertaining to men than women did not find it helpful to me
