The End of Alzheimers
"The End of Alzheimers", is the name of a new book by Dr Dale Bredesen. He has over 1000 patients who have made remarkable recoveries, some of whom joined his programme 5 years ago. So this is a good news story, except the in Australia they are talking about $45,000 a patient. They are currently training over 1000 consultants to bring the protocol to many places. Several Australian's already trained.
However, for not much more than a few hours on the Internet you can learn a great deal about his programme, and with your own local doctor, or with your neurologist, if you are so lucky, you can work up a programme that YOU can do, or you can help your mum or dad to do.
MUCH of the Bredesen programme is simple ordinary stuff that we too often neglect because we think it doesn't matter much. To find out more follow the link. It does NOT involve any miracle new drug. It does involve quite a lot of testing for metabolic dysfunction, that any NZ doctor will know quite a bit about. Do your own work. LEARN.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
