Trauma of memory loss can be unbearable and an Alzheimer’s patient can be devastated by the insecurities that brew because of forgetfulness. But now a new study claims that ‘Awakening from Alzheimer’s is possible’.
There may be no proper treatment that can halt the dreaded forgetfulness disease “Alzheimer’s till now, but researchers are now claiming that it is possible to turn around the loss of memory, in Alzheimer’s patients. A research study of 10 patients, from both Buck Institute for Research on Aging and UCLA Easton Laboratories for 
Research, made the observation, that memory loss in Alzheimer’s patients can be improved and their memory can be reversed with the help of a complex, 36-point therapeutic personalized program.
This program includes brain stimulations, comprehensive changes in diet, sleep optimization, exercise, vitamins, specific pharmaceuticals and some other factors that have affect on brain chemistry.
An unprecedented improvement was noted in 10 patients, who were in the early Alzheimer’s disease stage or its precursors, after the treatment was given by researchers, during the study. The patients went through neuropsychological testing and quantitative MRI’s for result analysis and they were administered a well mapped out programmatic and personalized therapy as treatment. Results showed that the reversal of memory loss was possible.
Dale Bredesen, the author of the research study closely studied people who had been forced to give up their work activities or were managing to perform the works after a struggle. He stated that they showed improvement after the treatment and “All of these patients had either well-defined mild cognitive impairment (MCI), subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) or had been diagnosed with AD before beginning the program. Follow up testing showed some of the patients going from abnormal to normal.”
Bredesen stated that people need to get their genetic status diagnosed early to help in prevention. The details of the study can be accessed online in the journal Aging.
