The mere mention of Alzheimer's disease often stirs deep emotions, given its significant impact on cognitive abilities and daily living. But imagine if a potential solution to this pervasive issue lay right within our mouths? Current research underscores a potent connection between oral health and Alzheimer's Disease. At Complete Health Dentistry of Columbus, we bring this scientific research directly to you, embracing the Bredesen Protocol.
If you or a loved one are grappling with the challenges posed by Alzheimer's, we warmly invite you to reach out. The best time to fortify against Alzheimer's is now and we are here to be your guide towards prevention and reversal.
Understanding the Bredesen Protocol
Developed by Dr. Dale Bredesen, the Bredesen Protocol offers a comprehensive, tailored program aimed at enhancing cognition and reversing cognitive decline seen in subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and early-stage Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Bredesen identifies 36 metabolic factors that can instigate "downsizing" within the brain. The PreCODE and ReCODE Reports, stemming from this protocol, allow us to balance these factors through a variety of treatment and personalized lifestyle adjustments.
Shield Your Cognitive Health for Tomorrow
Taking protective measures early on is crucial. The underpinnings of Alzheimer's disease, as identified by experts, evolve over a decade before ever manifesting as noticeable symptoms. This prolonged window before symptoms emerge presents us with a pivotal phase in which proactive intervention can be most impactful. To navigate this effectively, it's essential to gauge where your cognitive health stands currently.
Embarking on a cognitive assessment can be daunting, particularly if you've noticed those occasional "senior moments." We empathize with your concerns, but gaining clarity on your cognitive status is pivotal in enhancing brain health. Remarkably, with the advent of the Bredesen Protocol®, we now have the means to reverse early-stage dementia. Begin by taking your complimentary Cq assessment - click here!
