"Alzheimer’s is a disease for which there is no cure. Dr.
Bredesen’s experimental program gives me hope that there are
actions we can all take to care for our brains and keep Alzheimer’s
at bay."
—Maria Shriver, Today Show
"The End of Alzheimer’s is a monumental work. Dr. Bredesen
completely recontextualizes this devastating condition away from a
mysterious and unsolvable process to one that is both preventable
and, yes, reversible. Pinning our hopes on pharmaceutical research
to develop a miraculous wonder drug has left both physicians and
patients empty handed. But now, this comprehensive approach offers
solid results, bringing hope to so many."
—David Perlmutter, MD, Board-certified neurologist and author,
#1 New York Times bestseller, Grain
Brain, and Brain Maker
"The End of Alzheimer's, for the first time, synthesizes the latest
science into a practical plan that can reverse Alzheimer's and
dramatically improve brain health and function. If you have a
brain, read this book."
—Mark Hyman, MD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Eat
Fat, Get Thin
"This book represents a major turning point in our approach to
Alzheimer’s disease, from viewing it as a mysterious and incurable
affliction that is governed almost exclusively by our genes, to
understanding it as a multifactorial condition that can be
prevented and even reversed largely through nutrition and lifestyle
change. For the first time ever, patients and families affected by
Alzheimer’s—as well as those at high risk for this devastating
disease—truly have a reason to be hopeful."
—Chris Kresser, M.S., L.Ac Founder, Kresser Institute for
Functional & Evolutionary Medicine, Author of the New York
Times best seller The Paleo Cure
"The End of Alzheimer’s is a masterful, authoritative, and
ultimately hopeful patient guide to functional medicine for your
brain. It will help you prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s disease,
whether you have the ApoE4 gene or not. My patients fear
Alzheimer’s more than any other diagnosis. This is the book to
transmute fear into action."
—Sara Gottfried, MD, New York Times bestselling author
of Younger
"Having spent several years implementing many of Dr. Bredesen's
insights in my patients, I can assure you that following his advice

Plant Paradox
"Dr. Dale Bredesen is a world class neuroscientist/neurologist who

Bredesen translates the knowledge of science to the wisdom that
helps to heal our people . . . and provide a vision for the end of
Alzheimers!"
—Patrick Hanaway, MD, Founding Medical Director, Director
of Research, Center for Functional Medicine, Cleveland
Clinic
