Dale Bredesen, M.D., a professor in the UCLA Department of Neurology and author of The End of Alzheimer's: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline, has studied the disease's neurobiology for decades. He believes drug therapies have failed because scientists neglected to focus on why individuals develop the disease in the first place. He emphasizes, "Alzheimer's is not a single disease," even if the symptoms appear to be the same. Bredesen says it's the result of the brain trying to protect itself from multiple metabolic and toxic threats.
