In July 2019, my mother and I were told by an aging specialist who was also a medical doctor that she had Alzheimer’s. 4 months later, I was her full-time caregiver and was ready to move mountains to reverse this rapidly advancing disease.

I used the Apollohealthco.com website to track down a couple of chiropractors in my area of Maine who were educated in the methods behind the Bredesen Protocol for reversing cognitive decline. One wasn’t taking on new patients and one was. Naturally, I proceeded forward with making an appointment with the one who was and we started to see positive results in her cognition.

Here’s the practitioner locator tool if you’re not familiar with it: https://www.apollohealthco.com/practitioner-locator/

Here’s how I structured my search for the greatest number of results and you want to do this with me now:

1) I put in my zip code (at the time) of 04106
2) Hit search

Up pops a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine (chiropractor) just 3.7 miles away. But you’ll see right away that unless you’re a paying member of Apollo’s PreCODE or ReCODE program, the name of the practice doesn’t show up.

Since we were not members of Apollo, the way I got around this was to Google search terms like: Bredesen, Alzheimer’s, Scarborough Maine, chiropractor. If I do this now, nothing shows up that looks like it’s a match, but 4 years ago when doing this same search, the website of the chiropractor I chose showed up on the first page. I’ve tried looking for his website using different terms, and I still can’t get it to show up, so it’s possible they have moved, gotten out of the brain health business, or have taken down their website.

Clearly, going this route can take some time and be frustrating, while not producing results. Or if you do find a local practitioner using Google, you may be left wondering, is this practitioner qualified to meet the demands of the Bredesen Protocol?

When you sign up through ApolloHealth, you will not only have access to the FULL practitioner tool that provides the NAME and contact details of local practitioners, but you will have access to the Apollo Health staff who will go the extra mile to ensure that you land a qualified practitioner who is right for you and your needs. 

This is possible because each practitioner who is listed in the Apollo Health practitioner tool as a Certified 2.0 practitioner has gone through a rigorous process prior to being listed. Not only have they gone through the intensive ReCODE 2.0 training, but they have had to submit a bio listing their areas of specialty, pricing, background and training. The Apollo staff reviews this bio and presents an edited version prior to posting it on their website, thus ensuring a consistent process and service.

Apollo Health WANTS to see you succeed and will do anything they can to support you, including giving you access to the man himself…Dale Bredesen.

If you join Apollo Health, you’ll be able to submit your questions and concerns directly to Dr. Bredesen, who presents a monthly Town Hall meeting where he addresses subscriber questions just like yours.

If only I had known about the value of going through Apollo Health vs. working the program on our own, I would have done things very differently. I will talk more about this in a future blog post.

So in summary:

• Apollo Health provides the best, most comprehensive support in locating a qualified practitioner of the ReCODE 2.0 protocol.
• You can use Google to help you find a practitioner knowledgeable in the Bredesen Protocol but just because someone is familiar with the protocol does not mean that they are certified.
• Choosing a certified ReCODE 2.0 practitioner through Apollo Health is the BEST way to ensure peace of mind that you have selected the right match for you.
