Alzheimer Doctors

Postby Rotterdam » Thu Jun 18, 2020 6:57 pm

Wondering about Alzheimer people like Peggy Sarlin, Dr Mary Newport, J. Teitelbaum, Dr Perlmutter - they are big on their circuit but seem to be the opposite of Dr. McDougall. They quote "remarkable" recoveries. Confused again by mixed messages by "experts." What's the thinking on them as they seem pretty convinced of their methods.

We have our own Alzheimer experts on our side -

Doctors Dean and Ayesha Sherzai: https://teamsherzai.com/ have their own Alzheimer's prevention website and book, The Alzheimer's Solution

Dr. Neal Barnard and his Power Foods for the Brain: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Foods-Brai ... op?ie=UTF8

And even though all the others, like Dr. McDougall, Dr. Esselstyn, etc. don't have books specifically on brain health, they do still mention it in the books they do have and their lectures.

Guess I'm wondering what makes "our" experts more believable than others?

Their intellectual framework is broader and more solid. For example, more conservative claims, longer term observations, broader cultural observations, multiple lines of reasoning: epidemiology, laboratory, clinic, etc.

But the others are believable enough to a segment of the population. There can be a kernel of truth in some of what they say. Wheat is typically highly processed and keeps terrible company, for example. The typical diet is so bad, that just eating more naturally improves people's lives.
