My wife cried watching this. Her mother has been on Aricept for 3 years with zero improvement. We started the protocol last week. Already noticing she's more present at dinner. I know it's early but this is the first real hope we've had.

I'm 71 and was terrified of ending up like my sister. Started this 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I remembered the name of my third grade teacher completely out of nowhere. My daughter says I seem sharper. I don't know the science but I know how I feel.

Retired physician here. I was skeptical. But the type 3 diabetes mechanism is real — it's been in the literature for years. The fact that this targets insulin resistance in the brain actually makes sense. I've shared this with two colleagues and they agree the science is solid.

I bought this for my dad who is 84. He's been doing it for 6 weeks. Last Sunday he told a story from his childhood with details none of us had ever heard before. My brother and I just looked at each other. We couldn't speak.

My husband looked at me this morning and said my name clearly for the first time in months. I had to leave the room so he wouldn't see me cry. We're on day 19. Whatever is in this protocol, something is working.

Was getting lost driving routes I've taken for 20 years. My neurologist said it was "early decline" and gave me nothing useful. Started this protocol 30 days ago. Got through an entire crossword yesterday — first time in over a year. Make of that what you will.
