xFight Early-Stage Alzheimer's Disease & Dementia

Despite what you may have heard, it’s possible to treat dementia symptoms.

Watching a loved one fade away is heartbreaking for the family and confusing—even terrifying—for the patient. Nobody should have to experience the tragedy of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or other forms of dementia.

Pharmaceutical therapies have largely failed to stop or reverse the progression of these diseases. At AFFIRMATIVhealth, we go far, far beyond a simple doctor’s visit. When designing the RE:mind program, we drew upon the latest research to create a revolutionary treatment approach that improves memory and overall cognitive ability. In just a few months, most people see significant progress.

Your familiarity with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia is key to understanding how our approach can improve your memory.

AD is just one condition within the family of diseases known as dementia, which is characterized by memory loss, impaired thinking, personality changes and confusion. AD is the most common cause of dementia, but dementia can also be caused by conditions such as poor vascular health, fluid buildup in the brain, and various genetic diseases.

The latest research has shown that certain forms of dementia, including AD, have a strong environmental and lifestyle component. Rather than having a single, primary cause, dementia typically develops from dozens of factors. Here are just a few of the many causes involved:

  • Hormone, insulin, blood sugar or cholesterol abnormalities
  • Heavy metals or other toxins
  • Vitamin or mineral deficiencies
  • Poor social engagement
  • High stress

Timing is important! When fighting dementia, every day counts.

Dementia is progressive, meaning it gets worse over time. When considering treatment, the cause and timeframe of your dementia is crucial to proper care. Waiting to seek help may hamper your long-term cognitive health.

New hope for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Discovering the metabolic and lifestyle factors that contribute to most dementia cases is exciting and encouraging for the millions of Americans suffering from these terrible diseases. It also explains why pharmaceutical therapies haven’t been effective—drug treatments tend to only address one mechanism within the body. However, the latest research from our partner organization, the prestigious Buck Institute for Research on Aging, shows that addressing all or most of the factors that contribute to dementia can improve symptoms such as memory loss, confusion, personality change and low quality of life.

Astounding outcomes from the foundational study for the RE:mind program. Most people can return to work and enjoy life like they used to.

In the groundbreaking study that we’ve used to build our RE:mind program, researchers evaluated 10 patients who showed varying levels of dementia-related memory loss and cognitive decline. Of that group, six participants had recently stopped working due to difficulty performing their job duties.

Each participant was put on a comprehensive program to optimize the lifestyle factors linked to dementia. After 6 months on the program, the results were incredible:

  • 90% of participants showed improved cognitive function.
  • All participants who had recently stopped working were able to return to their jobs.
  • The only patient who did not show improvement had very late-stage Alzheimer’s disease.

Since this study was published, AFFIRMATIVhealth has treated hundreds of patients who are now achieving similar results!

An overview of our RE:mind program structure.

At AFFIRMATIVhealth, we’ve adopted the program structure used in the Buck Institute study (above) as the foundation of our two programs: RE:mind Immersion Retreat and RE:mind@home. While each program has a different style of execution, which is explained on their web pages, they both provide effective treatment for dementia using the same overall approach, detailed below.

Step 1: Testing
Because we’re optimizing your lifestyle in over 40 different areas, we need to conduct comprehensive tests, gather information on your current and past lifestyles, and review your medical history. By evaluating your blood work, genetics and cognitive performance, as well as having an in-depth conversation with you and your loved one, we can assemble a complete picture of your health.

Step 2: Plan Formulation & Implementation
After gathering your complete health information, we use a state-of-the-art, proprietary computer algorithm to analyze your information and generate a custom treatment plan based on your personal nutrient deficiencies, hormone imbalances, lifestyle choices and more. Our experts will then work closely with you as you begin to adopt these changes.

Step 3: Ongoing Coaching & Plan Adjustments
Just as important as developing your planis the coaching and monitoring we provide afterward. Sometimes, your plan will require adjustment after we observe your body’s response to the changes. For example, if we initially discover that you’re deficient in vitamin D, but supplementation doesn’t raise your levels, we’ll need to investigate and solve the deeper reason why your body isn’t absorbing the supplement.

Most people notice significant improvements in their dementia symptoms within 3 months! We understand how difficult it can be to change your habits, but we ask you to trust our expertise and history of great results. By following our plan and suggestions, most people can turn their lives around and avoid the heartache of memory loss, personality change and confusion. And because dementia has a genetic component, it will be worthwhile for family members without present symptoms to learn effective prevention strategies.

AFFIRMATIVhealth isn’t just a group of specialists. We’re a community that we invite you to join.

In addition to working closely with our clinical team, you can interact with your peers in an online community that’s accessible through this website. For many, meeting others struggling with dementia and maintaining long-term communication are some of the highlights of our program. Mutual encouragement can help inspire yourself and others to keep on track toward improved brain and body health.

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with AD or another form of dementia, you need to make changes now. Call us at 855-949-7364 to speak with one of our team members about how you can continue living the life you love.
