Please do not allow these to delay your treatment. Read More »

In the Emperor’s New Brain on 60 Minutes, Dr. Dale Bredesen draws a parallel between the Hans Christian Anderson folktale and a segment on 60 Minutes in which a neurosurgeon used focused ultrasound to open the blood-brain barrier on Alzheimer’s patients to treat them with the anti-amyloid antibody aducanumab — with no proof of cognitive benefit.
