唯一能成功逆轉認知能力的方法，不是特效藥，而是能針對失智原因進行調整的個人化療程 ＊《紐約時報》暢銷書《終結阿茲海默症》作者提出的最新ReCODE療程計畫，希望能幫助想預防及逆轉認知衰退，或單純想激發腦力的人 ＊六十歲出現阿茲海默症狀的人，其實四十歲時大腦就已經開始出現變化，你現在就應該開始，阻止讓病情惡化成真正的失智症 2017年，全球公認的神經退化性疾病研究權威戴爾‧布萊迪森博士公開劃時代的ReCODE療法，這項療法在美國已實證可改善初期阿茲海默九成的症狀，重症患者也能看到逆轉。在全世界都獲得廣大的矚目和迴響，是徹底改變對阿茲海默基本常識的一種治療法。 ․阿茲海默症不是一種疾病，它是大腦對應各種衝擊的保護反應 阿茲海默症不像肺炎是單一原因引起的疾病。它其實是大腦長期處在不良環境中，以製造類澱粉蛋白自我保護引發的一連串認知衰退反應。發炎、胰島素抗性、毒素、病菌感染、營養不良、荷爾蒙與神經生長因子不平衡等都可能導致此一結果。因此，要改善阿茲海默症狀，要先知道是哪一種或哪些種原因對大腦造成傷害，之後才能針對處理。 ․45歲之後，人人都該進行「認知鏡檢測」，針對大腦功能進行優化 六十歲出現阿茲海默症狀的人，其實四十歲時大腦就已經開始出現變化。布萊迪森博士提出的認知鏡檢測，結合各項醫學常規的血液、生化、基因及腦容量檢查，為腦部所處環境及腦功能狀態提供具體的檢查建議，並提供能維持最佳腦功能的生化數值指標。愈早發現認知衰退的成因並進行調整，認知功能改善的情況就會愈好。 ․更進階、更精準，能針對個人需求進行調整的Recode療法終極版 布萊迪森博士自從二○一一年前開始以ReCODE療法治療第一個病人以來，已累積了數百位成功案例。ReCOD療法從整體醫療的概念，將目前已知所有可能造成阿茲海默的原因一一細分，並對照「認知鏡檢測」結果，結合飲食、斷食、營養補充品、排毒、運動及生理監測、適當的藥物，針對個人最需要補足的部分，對大腦環境進行優化，以提升認知功能。 書中完整公開了療法的細節，從如何執行，該根據什麼指標進行個人化的調控，如何確認該進行療程中的哪些部份等，都一一具體描述，無論對專業醫療人員、想改進自身認知功能的一般人，都有很大的幫助。 ․一套全新的阿茲海默治療典範 這套計畫已有1500餘名醫師接受訓練，於三十餘個國家使用，已成為新的治療典範。書中描述了許
