One-Minute Book Review

The First Survivors of Alzheimer's: How Patients Recovered Life and Hope in Their Own Words – by Dr. Dale Bredesen

We previously reviewed this author’s “The End of Alzheimer’s”, which pertains to the very protocol whose (successful!) results this book examines.

It has generally been considered that Alzheimer’s is a case of “once you have it, it’s downhill until the end”. Of course, such was also true historically of many things that are now easily treatable, and there is no pressing reason to believe that Alzheimer’s should have any special immunity to the onwards march of science.

As such, the first part of the book is given over to 7 personal accounts, in which the titular first survivors of Alzheimer’s tell their own stories, one per chapter. After that, we get to part two, which is more about the science, on the small and large scale—so, practical advice directly applicable by individuals, and epidemiological considerations of more use to healthcare providers.

The style is, of course, varied—due to kicking off with seven (deeply!) personal accounts. To give an idea of tone, the first paragraphs of the first story are about the writer’s erstwhile plan to kill herself. The other six stories are also very human. And then, once we get into the second part of the book, it’s not quite so hard-science has The End of Alzheimer’s, but it’s also written with the sort of detachment that you might expect from a scientist writing about neurology and inflammation and metabolism and gene expression and so forth.

Bottom line: if you just want the clinical aspect, then you want “The End of Alzheimer’s”. If you just want practical advice, then you want the same author’s “The Ageless Brain”. But if you want both of those things plus a strong human element that makes it all very real, then this one’s the book for you.
