The Bredesen protocol probably slows the decline, but I doubt that it reverses the disease.

  The reversal seems more along the lines of the effects of the disease + side effects of the previous drug(s). Although if the new treatment stops the damage to the brain then over the course of years, not weeks or months, I could see a recovery of functionality.

  Bredesen has published about the reversal and with the small sample of 10 patients showed full reversal in 9 patients. There is no doubt at all when you read that patients were extremely forgetful, unable to do their job and unable to learn a new language were completely opposite after the short treatment: good memory, able to do the old job, and having pleasure learning a new language. Bredesen followed the 9 patients for 4 years after the treatment and there is no new decline. The treatment is a true cure. There is nothing magical. Inflammation makes a mess of a brain and a healthy body is able to recuperate from almost any disease.
