Beating the Dementia Monster: How I stopped the advance of cognitive impairment from Alzheimer's Disease

In 2015, Dave Brown was shown three common words and was asked to remember them. He was drilled on the words repeatedly and was then asked a few minutes later to repeat them. He could recall only one word. Based on this and other tests, his neurologist diagnosed him with Alzheimer's disease. He stopped driving but became confused when trying to cross the street on foot. He was 65 years old.

Later, his care team would read MRIs of his brain that showed his hippocampus volume had atrophied to the <1 percentile, and his lateral ventricles had grown to >99 percentile for men his age. The hippocampus plays a critical role in memory. The ventricles are void spaces that grow as the whole brain atrophies. These are changes that signal the advance of Alzheimer's disease.

But late in 2017, Mr. Brown was given a test with 10 words to remember, and he could confidently recall nine of them. In another memory test, he scored perfectly. In fact, his cognitive test scores improved steadily into 2018. What happened?

Mr. Brown investigated what was being shown by scientific research to actually counter cognitive decline from Alzheimer's disease. Based on his investigation, he formulated his own strategy which has worked spectacularly for him. He now wants to share that strategy with the hope that it will help others.

In Beating the Dementia Monster, he tells his personal story and describes his strategy. He also identifies scientific research that explains why his strategy has worked so well.

If you are looking for the magic dietary supplement or the exotic diet that will cure your cognitive decline, it's not here. However, if you or someone you love is facing the progression of MCI ("mild cognitive impairment") due to Alzheimer's disease, there are things that you may be able to do to slow, stop, or even reverse cognitive decline from Alzheimer's disease.

No drug has yet been found to cure Alzheimer's disease. But this book provides information that can help. It applies best to people with this diagnosis who are otherwise in reasonably good physical condition. The strategy in this book can also be applied by people who fear the development of Alzheimer's disease in the future.
