THE ReCODE PROTOCOL
ReCODE stands for reversing cognitive decline and has been developed from the research of Dr Dale Bredesen and colleagues. It has been successful in reversing subjective and mild cognitive impairment and some cases of early stage Alzheimer disease. Screening of cognitive health is carried out to identify individual contributing factors to cognitive impairment, after which a personalised ReCODE prescription can be compiled.
If experiencing cognitive symptoms, the earlier the protocol starts the more chance of success. My own screening showed some cognitive deficits, inflammation on the brain and a few recognised contributory factors from the precision medicine approach. I also had a neurofeedback session that identified age related cognitive decline earlier than I should have experienced it. At this stage I began an initial ReCODE protocol.
It is a treatment from integrated functional medicine addressing the causative factors and so reversing or halting the disease process rather than targeting the amyloid that is part of the disease presentation. Dr Bredesen's first book The End of Alzheimers explains the science behind ReCODE for anyone wanting to delve deeper.
I could feel myself returning from the cloud of cognitive decline on the protocol, which ,having watched the disease devour relatives, was truly a heartfelt remarkable experience. I had other ongoing health problems and the impact of the pandemic on accessing health services caused much delay and after surgery my memory scores fell to 32 on testing. I reached out to a ReCODE 2.0 health coach and started the protocol to a greater extent. By September of the same year my memory score was 92.
Dr Bredesen has explained should someone who has been doing well on the protocol develop symptoms once again, ReCODE practitioners would reassess to discover the "why". Once identified , this can be treated and cognitive function restored. There is now also a PreCODE protocol for anyone wanting to go onto a preventative program. In facet my last cognitive assessment with the memory score of 892 suggested I could continue on PreCODE, however, I do my best to adhere to the program that got me there.
