Reversing Alzheimer's: The New Toolkit to Improve Cognition and Protect Brain Health
Dr. Heather Sandison, a distinguished naturopathic doctor, offers hope for Alzheimer's treatment. Her research challenges the traditional focus on beta-amyloid plaques and emphasizes a multi-disciplinary approach.

Alzheimer's disease, a relentless thief of memory and cognitive function, has long been shrouded in a fog of frustration. The traditional focus on beta-amyloid plaques, a protein build-up in the brain, led to numerous failed drug trials based on faulty research (as highlighted in influential research cited over 2,500 times, which ultimately led to the retraction of the beta-amyloid study).
But here's the good news: Dr. Heather Sandison, a distinguished naturopathic doctor, offers a ray of hope in her YouTube video, "Reversing Alzheimer's: New Research Improves Cognition & Protects Brain Health"Link to Youtube video. Dr. Sandison proposes a paradigm shift – there's no magic bullet, but a "multi-disciplinary approach" holds immense promise.
This new perspective acknowledges the complexity of Alzheimer's. While the disease manifests in cognitive decline, its roots lie deeper, intertwined with inflammation and other factors. Dr. Sandison emphasizes that "so much we can do to prevent, delay and reverse systems of the disease."
Intrigued? Here's why Dr. Sandison's approach warrants attention:
- A Holistic View: It goes beyond addressing just one factor like beta-amyloid, focusing on a holistic approach that tackles the underlying causes.
- Personalized Solutions: Dr. Sandison emphasizes that a "one-size-fits-all" approach doesn't work. The best treatment plan for you will depend on your unique health profile.
- Focus on Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is suspected to play a significant role in brain cell damage and cognitive decline. Dr. Sandison explores natural therapies, like omega-3 fatty acids, curcumin, and resveratrol, which may help reduce inflammation.
Dr. Sandison's work doesn't offer a cure yet, but it paves the way for more effective prevention, management, and even potential reversal of Alzheimer's.
