    This is interesting. Experimental reversal of early Alzheimer's using diet and supplements.....

    Fasting rears its head again in this - used in the study to reverse insulin resistance.

    Very interesting article Ali, I've highlighted and copied some of the words from the study/report

    "She fasts for more than 12 hours between dinner and the next day's breakfast, making sure there are at least three hours between dinner and bedtime. The idea behind fasting, said Bredesen, is that with the break the body begins a process called autophagy, which can help destroy amyloid-beta, a problematic protein that builds up in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

    Gee has also cut out processed foods from her diet, including sugar, grains and other starches, since they can stir up inflammation in the brain. Her rule of thumb: "I don't buy any packaged, boxed or canned food."

    A typical dinner for her includes mostly raw organic vegetables drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and wild caught fish. Occasionally she replaces the fish with grass-fed lean meats. She has integrated more fermented foods into her diet — research is beginning to correlate gut health with brain health.    "

    Alzheimer's / Dementia is a very cruel disease, it is one that runs in my family. It is the main reason I now follow a LCHF lifestyle. Of course there are many different illnesses out there but as Hippocrates said all those years ago ' Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food'

    All the best Jan

    I agree, for me, the best dietary advice is to tell people what they SHOULD eat, not focus on what they SHOULDN'T. Most people who bother to join a diabetes forum and spend time on them are pretty clued up on this but when docs, nurses or even forums are looking to target newly diagnosed the advice needs to be speck.
