It's like a death sentence.
As you mentioned, it's like worse than death sentence.
And I would tell them, listen, there are two bags of things that cause problems.
You have the plaques and tangles and a whole lot of reversible things.
Even though we're beginning to realize that even plaques and tangles can be reversed.
But these other things are definitely reversible.
I'm going to work with you and I'm going to have you to memorize five words.
And I said, doc, I can't do that.
I said, listen, we have these brain coaches and they're going to work with you.
You can't memorize five words.
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.
