• “AD” refers to Alzheimer’s Disease.
• AD is a neurological disorder resulting from the death of brain cells, causing memory loss. Often present with old age.
• “MCI” refers to Mild cognitive impairment.
• MCI is an intermediate stage between memory loss and serious dementia.
• “SCI” refers to Subjective cognitive impairment.
• SCI is a self-reported perception of memory decline, commonly used to potentially diagnose AD.
• Both SCI and MCI are precursors to diagnosis of AD
• “MEND” refers to Metabolic enhancement for neurodegeneration.
• MEND is a method derived from the combinatory therapies from MCI and SCI.
• New study reveals that MEND application to persons with AD over the course of a year shows results of cognitive decline reversal.
• MEND treatments in patients previously stopped from working has shown positive recovery from mental decline, and is now reinstated at work.
• Patients diagnosed with MCI and, or SCI, subsequently treated with MEND shows positive recovery fro mental decline:
  • Patient with 17 % hippocampal-to-age-volume now show 75 % ratio.
  • Patient with 11 years of progressive memory loss now show improvements after 6-month treatment
• “MRI” refers to Magnetic resonance imaging, a type of x-ray.
• Scientists used MRI to observe neurological progress in each patient treated with MEND.
