Reduction of Aß

The thirteenth intervention to reverse mild Alzheimer's in the Bredesen Protocol is:

Goal: Reduction of Aß

Approach: Curcumin, Ashwagandha

Aß (Amyloid beta) is the main component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer patients.

Consider taking anti-inflammatory herbs, such as Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), 500-1000mg, or spices, such as ginger (one or two 500mg capsules) or turmeric (400-600mg) or curcumin (1000mg on an emtpy stomach).
