And it was five words and then seven words and 10 words and 20 words.
And then people who were mild cognitive impairment, these people who were repeating themselves, many of them would remember a hundred words, forward and backwards.
This was incredible.
You know, when I was running the program, we put these people on Facebook and they agreed to show off that they memorized a hundred words.
And we put them on our Facebook page, showing off that they came with not remembering anything.
We're told that they're early stages of Alzheimer's disease.
And here they were memorizing a hundred words.
And those are the things that cause a lot of people come to our brain center.
This is really a revolutionary time in the field of memory and Alzheimer's disease.
Absolutely.
Let me give you an example.
100 years ago, most people in the 80s would have dentures.
And over decades, these days, you don't see too many people with dentures.
There's still a lot of people when they get to the 70s required to remove all their teeth and put dentures.
But because people have been taking care of their teeth, we don't see too many older adults requiring dentures because they took care of the little things along the way.
they brush their teeth, they do the flossing, they saw a dentist two or three times a year.
And if there are any issues like cavity, they took care of it right there.
And as a result, people nowadays have their own teeth.
They didn't need to have dentures.
Same applies to your brain.
