Dean and Ayesha Sherzai, M.D. – The Alzheimer’s Solution: Prevent Cognitive Decline at Every Age
Dr. Dean and Dr. Ayesha Sherzai are dedicated to educating people on the simple steps to long-term health and wellness through their work as Directors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University Medical Center, with patients, as well as through online writing, videos, and books.
There is a tsunami of diseases of the brain such as Alzheimer’s, stroke and Parkinson’s disease permeating our culture. In our own communities and families, we all have known at least one person suffering from these illnesses and in many cases seen the fallout first-hand. There is no treatment for these diseases, and the emotional, financial and social burden is immense. These diseases are thieves, stealing time, money and ravaging the minds of our loved ones. The Sherzais see scientists and physicians working furiously to find a cure or these diseases, and in this frantic race against time somehow, the big picture is usually lost among the molecules and chemicals related to the diseases.
As Co-Directors of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University Medical Center, the Sherzais, through research and their extensive collective medical backgrounds, work to demystify the steps to achieving long-term brain health and the prevention of devastating diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Dean Sherzai, MD, PhD, is co-director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University. Dean trained in Neurology at Georgetown University School of Medicine, and completed fellowships in neurodegenerative diseases and dementia at the National Institutes of Health and UC San Diego. He also holds a PhD in Healthcare Leadership with a focus on community health from Andrews University.
Ayesha Sherzai, MD is a neurologist and co-director of the Alzheimer’s Prevention Program at Loma Linda University, where she leads the Lifestyle Program for the Prevention of Neurological Diseases. She completed a dual training in Preventative Medicine and Neurology at Loma Linda University, and a fellowship in Vascular Neurology and Epidemiology at Columbia University. She is also a trained plant-based culinary artist.
PBN Documentary ‘Vegan 2018’ Launches On YouTube Today
The film charts the rise of the vegan movement, showcasing key events that happened over the last 12 months, as well as interviews with leaders in the movement.
Vegan 2018: The Year A Movement Went Mainstream shows a movement in its ascendancy, painting a portrait of how more people are starting to move away from the ethical, environmental, and health horrors of animal exploitation.
The film’s predecessor – Vegan 2017 – has garnered more than 1,500,000 views on YouTube. The new film showcases a bigger narrative and more detail.
The making of Vegan 2018
Over the year, PBN Founders Klaus Mitchell and Robbie Lockie have traveled across the world to track down leading voices in the movement and film monumental events.
This footage – along with sourced clips – will tell the story of veganism throughout 2018. A number of celebrities including Miley Cyrus, Lewis Hamilton,Will. I. Am and Moby are seen in the documentary, along with footage shot on location at events like the London Animal Rights March.
Spread the word
PBN Founder – and the film’s Director – Klaus Mitchell says: “If any of you last year saw our film Vegan 2017, that was a smaller project and a bit of a test run for this documentary which is feature-length and something I’ve wanted to do for years.
“It is the result of hundreds of hours of research, investigation and editing, and charts the rise and growth of the vegan movement across the globe today.”
A changing narrative
PBN Co-founder Robbie Lockie added: “It’s incredible to see the vegan news every day, and observe how this movement is becoming more prominent in mainstream media and dialogue.
“We’ve seen a real pushback from animal agriculture over the last year, which reflects changing public perceptions around animal agriculture.
“Taking all of the stories from a year and assimilating them into one journey has been absolutely fascinating – and we hope our audience will also enjoy it.”
Cancer is a disease that most people either have personal experience with, or know someone who does.In this interview, Annie Brandt — herself a 16-year cancer survivor and author of “The Healing Platform: Build Your Own Cure!“— shares some of the support detailed in her book, which can give anyone challenged with cancer access to valuable resources.
We first met last year at Dr. Lee Cowden’s ACIM Conquering Cancer conference in Orlando. Brandt is also the coordinator of the Answers for Cancer Summit, an international cancer conference that will include many great speakers.It’s scheduled for April 27 through April 29, 2017, in San Diego, California. You can purchase tickets on bestanswerforcancer.org.
From my perspective, a foundational strategy for anyone concerned about cancer is to address your diet. That’s my passion, and it got reignited once I understood that cancer is not a genetic, but a metabolic disease, primarily rooted in mitochondrial dysfunction.
In fact, this is the topic of my latest book, “Fat for Fuel,” which will be published in May. More information on this will be coming soon.
I think that’s the first step. However, for most people, diet alone will not solve the cancer riddle. It will likely prevent it, but may not solve it if you already have cancer. That’s where Brandt’s resources and The Healing Platform come in. They really are a great collaborative addition to a healthy diet, which I outline in “Fat for Fuel.”
Do you know the right questions to ask? This free guide could save your life! In 2003, I was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer. I was 26 years old, and clueless about cancer treatment.
The first oncologist I saw didn’t tell me the risks, lied to me about the success rate, and told me I was “INSANE” if I didn’t do what he recommended. I was afraid I had no other options, but my wife and I accidentally asked two questions that in hindsight helped save my life…
In the last 12 years, I’ve talked with hundreds of cancer patients. Many reach out to me after treatments have failed them, worse off than when they started, and wishing they had taken the time to read and research before blindly following their doctors advice.
This free guide will arm you with POWERFUL questions that get straight to the truth. 20 Questions For Your Oncologist is a compilation of essential questions submitted by doctors, survivors, patients and their loved ones. The guide includes a 1-hour audio program, a transcript to follow along and take notes, and a printable question list.Your next steps could be critical to your survival, or the survival of someone you care about. Don’t let fear, uncertainty and helplessness influence the decision-making process. Get the guide.
Most heart attacks are likely caused by an imbalance in your central and autonomic nervous system, which controls the function of your internal organs.
Intake of saturated fats and added sugars, two of the primary components of a modern Western diet, is linked with the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
