What if everything we've been told about Alzheimer's is wrong? Picture a 75-year-old man who can't remember his grandchildren's names, wandering through life in a fog of forgotten faces. Now imagine that same man, six weeks later, lighting up as he names each grandchild without hesitation. This isn't science fiction-it's the documented reality of patients following a comprehensive brain health protocol. While 6.5 million Americans live with dementia and conventional medicine shrugs with "nothing can be done," clinical results tell a radically different story: 75% of patients show measurable cognitive improvement within six months. The question isn't whether the brain can heal-it's why we've spent decades looking in the wrong direction.
