Help Reverse Cognitive Decline with

Bredesen Protocol Alzheimers Treatment in York, PA

There's no way around it: Getting diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease can be both scary and disheartening for patients and their loved ones. The cognitive impairment, memory loss, and eventual cognitive decline can seem like a grim prognosis. Unfortunately, the standard reductionist approach seeking to identify a single silver bullet cure doesn't account for the multifactorial nature of Alzheimer's disease.

That's why treating Alzheimer's disease requires a multifaceted response from functional medicine. While there is no single drug that can cure Alzheimer's, protocols addressing the nuanced factors contributing to the disease can make a difference. That's where Proactive Wellness Centers and Bredesen protocol treatment in York, PA comes into play.

The Proactive Wellness Approach to Brain Health

At Proactive Wellness, we firmly believe that brain health is an essential part of your overall well-being. However, despite the emergence of new research, there has been limited understanding of how to promote brain health effectively. This includes reducing the risk of dementia/Alzheimer's and stabilizing cognitive decline in patients with early symptoms. Dr. Lawson, an esteemed Bredesen Protocol practitioner and ReCode 2.0 Certified with 17 years of experience in functional medicine can identify and address the root cause of cognitive decline in you or your loved one.

Dr. Lawson's goal isn't to replace the role of family physicians. Rather, we collaborate with primary care physicians, internists, and other medical professionals to provide a comprehensive approach to care. We believe that every individual is unique from a physiological perspective, and therefore, we avoid a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, our programs focus on a customized approach, addressing risk factors that, if avoided or modified, could have beneficial effects for men and women who have dementia.

Our programs have a strong emphasis on slowing down and reversing the aging process, preventing diseases, and treating chronically ill patients. To achieve this, we employ a three-pronged approach:

  • We empower patients with the knowledge they need to manage their health and attain optimal well-being.
  • We prioritize disease prevention by conducting a thorough evaluation with the help of comprehensive diagnostics and the patient's health history form.
  • We collaborate with patients to implement a rejuvenation program that includes various science-based treatments, like our Brain Health Optimization Program (BHOP) for people suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's

One of the most popular and effective programs we offer includes Bredesen protocol treatment in York PA. This revolutionary approach to dementia has provided hope and improved cognitive function for countless people in the US. But to understand the importance of the Bredesen protocol, it's important that you first understand dementia, Alzheimer's, and its effect on people across the world.

The Wide-Reaching Effects of

Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia

There are currently more than 5.8 million individuals in the United States who are living with Alzheimer's disease. It is predicted that the number of individuals with Alzheimer's disease will more than double by 2050.

Dementia is a type of cognitive decline that affects mental abilities. There are many different causes and complex layers involved. Cognitive impairment is characterized by abnormal results on tests measuring memory, speech, critical thinking, and other cognitive abilities, but individuals with this diagnosis are still capable of performing daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. Without proper treatment, Alzheimer's disease is likely to follow within a few years. Alzheimer's disease is the most prevalent form of dementia, and it is diagnosed through neuro-imaging and analysis of cerebrospinal fluid.

In the past, being diagnosed with Alzheimer's was often worse than receiving a death sentence. It was dehumanizing and stripped individuals of their memories, thinking abilities, and independence. However, after three decades of research, we now have a greater understanding of this devastating illness and even solutions like Bredesen protocol treatment in York, PA that can help patients deal with dementia.

What Causes Dementia?

Dementia is caused by a normal and healthy brain process that malfunctions due to a toxic environment, inflammation, and a lack of necessary nutrients and hormones. The brain's defense mechanism produces amyloid plaques, which serve as a protective helmet around the brain. Unfortunately, these plaques destroy connections between nerve cells, ultimately affecting comprehension, recollection, and clarity.

 Dementia Care York, PA

Dementia by the Numbers

It's important to understand the impact of Alzheimer's disease (AD) around the world. According to the CDC, AD is present in 50% of patients in nursing homes and causes more than 110,000 deaths annually in the US. It was the 6th leading cause of death in 2015. More than 5 million people in the US are affected by AD, and recent data indicates that the problem is getting worse.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 47 million people around the world are currently living with dementia, and this number is expected to rise to 75 million by 2030 and 132 million by 2050. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, accounting for 60 to 80 percent of all cases.

While reading those statistics can be disheartening, there's reason to be hopeful. New therapies and treatments offered at Proactive Wellness - like Bredesen protocol treatment - can help patients deal with dementia and cognitive decline.

The Power of

Bredesen Protocol Treatment in York, PA

The Bredesen Protocol is a highly personalized treatment program that aims to reverse cognitive decline and improve brain function in patients. Dr. Bredesen has designed the protocol to be adaptable and customizable, tailored to the specific symptoms and needs of each patient.

The program is centered around lifestyle changes, medication, and nutritional adjustments, all of which are tailored to address the unique symptoms and environmental factors that may be contributing to cognitive decline. This approach, referred to as ReCODE, helps patients to combat brain fog and prevent the onset of dementia.

It has also helped patients improve cognitive function significantly, reverse symptoms, and even return to work. The ReCODE program comprises lifestyle interventions, therapeutic diets, and targeted nutrients. Proactive Wellness Centers is thrilled to offer this promising treatment modality for Alzheimer's disease to benefit our patients.

It all starts with a baseline Bredesen evaluation at our wellness clinic in York, PA.

Baseline Bredesen Evaluation from

Proactive Wellness Centers

At Proactive Wellness Centers, we have two ways to help patients who are in search of Bredesen protocol treatment in York, PA. The first option is our Baseline Bredesen Evaluation, which is best suited for asymptomatic patients - that is, individuals who do not exhibit any significant cognitive decline beyond what is expected with age. Dr. Bredesen classifies such patients as "PreCode."

This evaluation serves as a starting point for PreCode patients, as well as those who are unsure of their cognitive status and potential risk factors. Our baseline evaluation includes the following:

The first step involves conducting a comprehensive set of baseline labs to evaluate your overall health, closely following the Bredesen protocol. This step goes beyond standard labs that you might have for a physical. It includes tests for magnesium, zinc, and selenium levels, B6, B12, and folate levels, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid levels.

It also includes

  • Pre-Diabetes Evaluation
  • Hormone Level Evaluation
  • Thyroid Level Evaluation
  • Specific Immune Marker Evaluation such as TH1, TH2, IL6, and TNF.

Our goal with this assessment is to establish a starting point and compare your cognitive function against what is typical for your age group. We have chosen to use the CNS Vital Signs cognitive assessment, which is widely recognized as one of the best in the industry. Additionally, we will be conducting the standard MoCA test as part of the evaluation.

A DNA test is performed to identify the specific APOE genotype present in your DNA. APOE e4 has been shown to be associated with an increased chance of late-onset Alzheimer's disease, which occurs after a person is 65 years old.

This step covers your lab results and includes a detailed plan of action to address areas of improvement as identified in your baseline evaluation.

What are the Early Signs of

Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease?

As we grow older, it can be difficult to distinguish between normal changes in our cognitive abilities and the initial signs of dementia. The issue with preventing chronic illnesses is that we often believe we are healthy as long as we don't experience any symptoms, but this is not entirely accurate. Symptoms are typically the last indicator of a disease, meaning it has already progressed by the time they appear.

While it's always best to catch diseases before you notice symptoms, taking proactive measures at the first sign of cognitive changes can greatly impact the aging of your brain and body. It's crucial to act immediately if you're experiencing the following symptoms of Mild Cognitive Impairment. That way, ,you have a better chance of preventing the development of Alzheimer's.

Central Pa. family at Eagles playoff game learns house burned down: ‘Pretty surreal’

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had just streaked down the field 44 yards for the team’s first touchdown Sunday when Derek Sandstrom felt his phone vibrating.Sandstrom, his wife Sheri and son Carter were attending their “one game a year.” But instead of a friend phoning to celebrate the Birds’ score, it was a neighbor who didn’t normally call.&l...

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had just streaked down the field 44 yards for the team’s first touchdown Sunday when Derek Sandstrom felt his phone vibrating.

Sandstrom, his wife Sheri and son Carter were attending their “one game a year.” But instead of a friend phoning to celebrate the Birds’ score, it was a neighbor who didn’t normally call.

“I don’t know why I answered the call when I did,” Sandstrom told PennLive on Monday. He guessed it was just one of those odd feelings that guided him.

Amid the celebratory cacophony of the stadium, Sandstrom, 53, got some of the worst news of his life.

“Your house is fully engulfed in fire,” the neighbor told him. The house, located on the 100 block of Hemlock Lane in Newberry Township, York County, went up in flames around 3:30 p.m. Sunday.

“It sounded like a joke,” Sandstrom recalled thinking.

It wasn’t.

“You can imagine. It’s loud there in the stands. It was a festive, crazy environment. People were high-fiving and fist-bumping each other. And I hear my house is destroyed. The news amidst all of that was pretty surreal.”

Then Sandstrom informed an unsuspecting, smiling Sheri.

“I leaned over and told my wife. Our whole mood changed instantly,” he said.

If the family needed further proof, they were soon receiving pictures of their one-and-a-half-story home in flames as several neighbors sent out texts. One even posted the photos on Facebook.

“Flames were licking out of the top of the roof. They’re telling us what’s going on,” Sandstrom said of his neighbors. “It was a pretty destructive event. Not just a little fire.”

One moment, the Sandstrom family was “super-excited, huge Eagles fans.” The next, they were headed back to what was left of their home amid snowy, stormy road conditions.

“We didn’t even make it through the first quarter,” Sandstrom said of the divisional playoff game, which the Eagles won over the L.A. Rams 28-22.

That was the only good news.

After a long, three-hour-plus journey back to Newberry Township, the Sandstroms slowly approached their address. Night had fallen, but the flashing emergency lights of multiple fire trucks still at the scene lit the dark.

“We’re coming up over the hill. You see all the fire trucks; all the lights were flashing wildly,” Sandstrom recounted. “Then we got close enough to see exposed framing, melted siding, windows busted out and missing sections of roof. It became real very quickly.”

Sandstrom credits the responding fire departments of Newberry and Fairview townships, as well as Goldsboro, with being “awesome, helpful and kind.” They even managed to rescue the family cat, Pirate.

The Newberry fire department reported in a Facebook post that one firefighter slipped and fell in the icy conditions outside the home. He was treated at the scene by EMS and fire crews, then transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Sandstrom said he was told by fire officials at the scene the likely cause of the blaze was a chimney fire, fueled by a wood-burning stove in the basement that the family used for heat for the past 25 years.

“They took us through the house,” Sandstrom said of the on-scene fire officials. “The firemen said it’s a total loss. Most of the house is gone. There isn’t any furniture. It’s all burned up. Most of the exterior walls are gone. Where you used to see a wall, now you see the backyard. It’s destroyed. We’re going to be starting over.”

Asked about a dollar figure for the loss, Sandstrom said, “I wouldn’t even know how to calculate that.”

The work of starting over began Sunday evening. With the help of neighbors, Sandstrom and his family began salvaging his many musical instruments from the basement, an area spared from the flames but not smoke and water damage.

Thus far, the music instructor and church musical director said they’ve been able to rescue some keyboards and sound systems, along with a trumpet, clarinet, flute and trombone.

“I’m still looking for my saxophone,” he said.

As for any other belongings, Sandstrom said, “We don’t have any.”

But the family does have the help of their church, Collective Journey Seventh-day Adventists of York, as well as an appointment with the American Red Cross later Monday.

“There’s definitely been an outpouring of support,” Sandstrom said. “So many people have reached out.”

For now, the family is living with relatives. A second son, Morgan, 24, who also lives at the house, is currently working out of state. Most everything else is up in the air.

“You have to start again. I don’t know how this works,” Sandstrom said. “We have faith in God to get us through all this.”

One thing’s for sure, come next Sunday afternoon the Sandstroms will be watching their beloved Eagles in the NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders. They just don’t know from where.

As for this past Game Day, there’ll be plenty of memories — just not the kind they ever expected.

“We’re never going to forget this one,” Sandstrom said.

Weather forecasters can feel pretty good about their predictions for Sunday’s storm.

They said a fast-moving storm would drop the heaviest amounts of snow during the afternoon hours, and accumulate 4 to 6 inches.

As weather spotters reported their total while skies began to clear on Sunday night, those predicted amounts turned out to be spot-on.

Based on the National Weather Service (NWS) forecast for the week, whatever snow that fell will stick around into next weekend.

A multi-day period of bitter cold temperatures and dangerous wind chills is expected late Sunday night through Wednesday night, according to the NWS, with wind-chill values as low as 10 to 25 degrees below zero Monday and Tuesday nights in a few spots around the state.

Highs might top 20 degrees on Monday and not leave the teens on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Average temperatures for the month in Harrisburg are 2.5 degrees below normal, and that average will only drop more this week.

As for the storm, it affected most of the central and all of the eastern sections of the state, with the mountains and western half of the state missing out.

Per the NWS, here are the snowfall totals from Sunday’s storm:

Here are some totals from eastern Pa., according to NBC10 in Philadelphia and the Lehigh Valley News.

The snowstorm is the first part of a wintry week, with a record-setting cold spell starting on Monday.

How cold is it about to get? Most of Pennsylvania won’t see the temperature reach the freezing mark until Friday at the earliest, with wind chills values in the teens during the day and near or below zero at night through Tuesday night.

Even Wednesday looks brutally cold despite the winds dying down, with highs in the teens and a low that night in the single digits.

Temperatures will moderate Thursday through Sunday.

No precipitation is in the forecast.

Per the NWS, here’s the seven-day forecast for Harrisburg:

Monday: Mostly sunny, high near 21 and gusts to 25 mph

The onset of the snowstorm is prompting everything from cancelations to snow emergencies across central Pennsylvania.

Many central Pa. churches either canceled or curtailed their Sunday worship schedule and other activities because of the storm, which could drop 4 to 6 inches across the region before it clears out tonight.

Those include the Calvary Evangelical Lutheran Church in Dover, York County, which closed for the day at 10:45 a.m., Goodwin Memorial Baptist Church in Harrisburg, which canceled its morning service, and First United Methodist Church of Hershey, Dauphin County, which canceled all worship services and all afternoon and evening activities.

Considering that conditions are expected to worsen from late morning through the afternoon, anyone planning to attend a church service or other event on Sunday would be smart to check the website or social media or make a phone call to see if it’s still taking place.

The same advice applies for any business you were planning to visit on Sunday.

Many communities already have put into effect snow emergencies. You can view those at the following links:

More will be added to the list as they are announced.

Most school districts already are closed Monday for Martin Luther King Day, although there could be lingering cancelations or delays on Tuesday morning because of the windy conditions and dangerously cold temperatures that are forecast to follow in the wake of the storm.

The Gamut Theatre Group in Harrisburg canceled its Sunday matinee performance of “Much Ado About Nothing” originally scheduled for 2:30 p.m. No scheduled date is planned. All patrons who purchased tickets will receive refunds that will go back to their original payment methods, the group announced. Refunds will be issued on Sunday, but it might take a few days before they are reflected in your bank statement. If you do not receive your refund by Jan. 25, contact the theater group.

Also, The Shops at Rockvale in Lancaster County announced via Facebook that they will not open Sunday.

One postponement already announced for Monday is the town hall planned by the Black Pastors United for Education (BPUE). It was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Monday at the New Covenant Church of Philadelphia,7500 Germantown Ave. It will be rescheduled at a later time.
