Thank you for sharing this — I really appreciate your honesty. I completely understand your scepticism; the space is absolutely filled with false hope, and it’s heartbreaking how many people are taken advantage of when they’re most vulnerable.
That said, I’m in a few of the Bredesen Protocol groups on Facebook, and there are people here in the UK actively working with some of the clinics offering this approach — both in England and Scotland. So it’s not entirely theoretical, at least in terms of access.
That being said, I’m with you on the NHS front. We’ve tried going down the clinical trials route too, but in our area they require a referral from the NHS — and that process has been awful. Glacially slow and incredibly disheartening.
I would also really appreciate hearing from anyone else who may have read Dr Bredesen’s book and tried the full protocol — particularly the ketogenic diet, the exercise recommendations, and supplementation. How did it work for you or your loved one? And if you decided to stop at any point, what led to that decision?
Still, I completely agree with your advice: staying active, staying social, and focusing on quality of life are vital — no matter the path taken.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply — it really means a lot.
