Episode description

When it comes to treating patients for cognitive decline, the traditional model has for many years been focused on the removal of beta amyloid plaques, which has done nothing to address symptoms of cognitive decline. Dr. Dale Bredesen believes that the plaques are actually the brain's protective response to injury. In this first episode in a series with "The End of Alzheimer's Program" author, he and the Amens discuss how a revolutionary shift in treating patients with cognitive decline has radically changed lives.
