Content: When dealing with a disease as biologically complex as AD, it is especially necessary because the number of false leads is massive. The Functional Medicine approach
The MEND Protocol is a functional medicine approach to AD. According to the website of Muses labs, which owns the rights to the protocol (as evidenced by the “TM” after name – always a red flag): MEND Protocol is designed to address the active underlying pathways for Alzheimer’s disease including metabolic issues, toxicity, inflammation, and mitochondrial damage. The therapeutics recommended by the MEND™ Protocol offer a way to bring these mechanisms into a state of enhancing a participant’s cognitive health – and maintaining that control over time. These factors and their complex interrelationships must be personalized based on an individual’s specific needs. Due to the complexity of the personalization process, the Protocol is created via health management software. Our algorithms are able to process a wide range of data on an individual’s health status and recommend specific interventions matched to each individual. Essentially their approach is to address all the markers in AD, all the things that basic science studies show might be off, without addressing the issue of whether or not these markers actually cause or drive AD. They then add the further layer of complexity of “personalized” medicine.
