Alzheimer's disease is a condition which first identified a little over 100 years ago. Since then, it has become an epidemic. The reason for this is that Alzheimer's disease, which causes 70% of all cases of dementia, is a metabolic disease of the brain. And our metabolic health has gotten far worse in recent decades. This is why drug companies who believe Alzheimers' is a genetic condition have failed, despite spending billions of dollars. Don't be misled by the recent approval of an a drug (Aduhelm) by the FDA - 10 of 11 members of the FDA's own scientific advisory panel expressed the opinion that the use of this new (and expensive) drug was not supported by science.

Nor does the promise of genetic therapy offer much hope. How could genetics explain a condition which has gone from being only just described a little over 100 years ago to epidemic proporotions. Rather it is much more likely that lifestyle is to blame. Even the APOE4 gene doesn't necessarily mean one will develop dementia, for genetics is not fate.

Learn how the rigth diet can prevent, help manage and potentially even reverse Alzheimer's disease in this scientific lecture by Dr Paul Mason.

    This one is personal for me. I cared for my father for the last two years of his life, after his fairly advanced Alzheimer's was finally diagnosed. And I saw first hand how changing his diet to eliminate seed oils, grain and sugar, and putting him on a keto based diet helped his functioning, even with more advanced dementia. With the cooperation of his doctor, we were able to get him off all medications as well, and improve the quality of his life.

    I am living proof that his conclusions are correct. I was diagnosed with Mild cognitive Impairment at age 58. I am Apoe4/4. I used to be fat, hypertensive and pre-diabetic. After switching to a low carb diet and a healthy lifestyle, I was able to lose 50 lbs., cure my hypertension, reverse my pre-diabetes and cure my MCI. I recently entered a drug trial for an Alzheimer’s drug but was rejected from the study because I had TOO LITTLE amyloid beta plaque to qualify😁🥩😋
  • Salute from Bangladesh. I am a neurosurgeon, I advised my patient on HFLC.They are getting better after following the good life style based on real science. Thank you paul for your relentless effort for the humanity. After Covid Pls come to our Bangladesh, we will arrange a conference on HFLC

    This doctor is a national treasure. Pls protect him at all costs.
  • Dr Mason. You are my inspiration. My wife and are mostly on a carnivore diet. Gone from over weight diabetics on many meds to non diabetic blood sugar on no meds. Be so careful of unexpected sources of sugar and “vegetable” oil. We recently bought a corned beef roast from a supermarket. My blood sugar spiked. Checked the label and it had added sugar and veg oil. We now only eat grass fed beef, lamb, butter, cheese and free range eggs. Blood sugar totally under control. And our minds and bodies are working better all the time. We are mid 70’s and both look and feel great.

    This information was largely inaccessible to the public until people with a depth of education and exceptional communication skills began sharing. Thank you Dr. Mason.

  • Our bodies need cholesterol!! I eat, fatty meat, eggs, butter and full fat dairy. Statins lower cholesterol and have been implicated in raising the risk of dementia. Even if high cholesterol caused heart attack I would rather die from a heart attack rather than slowly waste away from dementia/alzheimers.

    Three months after going Keto my A1c went from 7.3 to 5.3, thereby reversing a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis. My internal medicine physician was gobsmacked. I'm 72 and I take no Rx meds. I feel better at 71 than I did at 50.
  • @YourSpeechCoach
    Keto has been my dietary choice for five years due to this very issue. Avoiding cognitive decline through good nutrition is something we all can do. Thanks for the research updates. Very helpful.
  • @carlosclass787
    When will the community nominate Dr. Paul Mason for a Nobel Prize? Honestly, it's the least we can give back you, Sir. You are our key to real data and better health. Thank you.
  • @LordRocco777
    I wish more of the doctors and nurses I worked with would be open to this mode of thinking, I’m very thankful for your knowledge and insight. Thank you sir, keep It up!

    Keep unraveling the pack of lies. You are saving lives.

    I missed the recent conference!! This video is very good though!! Thanks Dr Mason. I'm 72 and my parents died in their early 90's but could well have gone on longer had LCHF been more 'around'. I've been on LCHF now for 5months, lost some 'good' weight with subtle but definite physical improvements. Wow! I love the history angle of all this - the Ancestors' angle plus the corrupt modern industrialisation of knowledge and practices. I'm a former RN and can allow myself to be contemptuous of medical practice, religious monopolistic interference and societal 'norms' led by lobbyists: makes me think that my past work ethic and trials were a bloody waste of time as so much and so many of us were ignorant! Cheers.
  • @magsmcginty3929
    Thank you so much for this video; I cried when I saw it, cos I felt as tho it were a response to my comment. I am going to use it, to try to convince my dad's GP to keep him on a ketogenic diet. The GP listened previously, when I showed him the studies linking anticholinergics with dementia, and deprescribed these terrible drugs, that my dad had been on for over 30 years, for IBS. Along with a high sugar diet, they definitely contributed to my dad's dementia. Thank you so much, Dr Mason - I am extremely grateful.

    Dr Mason always gives a master class in coherent, well supported arguments.
