What results may one expect following the Bredesen Protocol (TM)? 

Here is what has been seen from Dr. Dale Bredesen’s experience so far:


People who have no cognitive impairment, truly no symptoms, and started PreCODE have not gone on to dementia. There has not been one documented case so far.


And virtually all people who were just experiencing subjective cognitive decline and started ReCODE, if they were doing the basics to address their root causes, like infections and toxins, all improved and stay improved.


People already experiencing mild cognitive decline have a more difficult time regaining lost ground. Drs. Ann Hathaway and Deborah Gordon co-authored a 2022 study on 25 patients with mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer's disease. After nine months of implementing the Bredeson Protocol (TM), 84% of the trial patients' cognition improved, with some having their cognitive scores increase from the dementia range to normal. Some improved a lot, some a little, but as a group, the marked improvement was not as significant as for those following the protocol with SCI.


And for those who started the protocol for someone already with dementia, he has seen fair results. Some with MoCA scores of zero become continent again. Others can recognize their families again. But those with dementia don't come back to perfect.


In the end, we don't want to wait until MCI or dementia. We want to treat at the prevention and SCI stages if we can. If someone is already in the MCI or dementia stage, following the protocol within the family’s wishes, is a compassionate choice for getting the best chance at positive outcomes seen so far. Generally, the more effort one puts into closely the protocol and the more support from family, coaches and practitioners, the better the results.
