Alzheimer’s: managing symptoms and quality of life, not the disease
The focus is symptom management and quality of life, as an adjunct to the neurologist’s treatment. It does not give back what has already been lost, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something that does not exist.

- days in Mexico
- 1–3

- $6,000–15,000
- USD, base protocol range
What it can do and what it does not
Both lists carry the same weight because both matter equally to your decision.
Safety notice
Do not stop or adjust neurological medication because you read this page. Any change is their neurologist’s decision.
What it does not do. And we will not imply otherwise
- It does not reverse the disease.
- It does not halt its progression.
- It does not bring back lost neurons or memory that is already gone.
- It does not replace their neurologist’s treatment.
What it can do. In documented cases
- It may be offered with a focus on symptom management and quality of life, as an adjunct to neurological treatment, in assessed cases.
What it does to your day
Memory
Recent things are hard to hold on to: appointments, conversations, what was done that morning.
Finding words
Finding the word, following a conversation or getting an idea out becomes hard.
Getting oriented
Difficulty placing themselves in familiar surroundings or recalling dates.
Independence
Managing medication, cooking or handling money become tasks that no longer happen on their own.

What we need to assess you
We need certainty about the diagnosis, at what age and when it was made, what stage it is at and what treatment is being taken.
Tests that help, without being required
- Neuropsychological tests (MoCA, MMSE)
- Complete blood count
What follow-up looks like
24 hours later
First follow-up
We call to confirm you are well, hear how you have been feeling and answer any question that came up after the application.
Day 3
Check-in
We contact you again to hear how you are doing and confirm everything is still fine.
Day 7
Close follow-up
A third contact to review how you are getting on and advise you if anything has changed.
Day 45
Progress review
From here on, changes may begin to be seen. The timing and the size of any change vary from person to person, and in some people none is seen.
Questions about alzheimer’s disease
Written by the treating physician. The first one prevents the most wasted trips.
Anyone expecting to recover lost memory or to halt the disease: that does not happen. In advanced stages, the assessment usually concludes that the trip is not worth what it can offer.
No. These treatments do not reverse the disease, do not halt its progression and do not bring back what has already been lost. The focus is symptom management and quality of life, as an adjunct.
It is an application through a lumbar puncture. It carries its own risks, different from those of an intravenous application: headache, bleeding or infection. If the assessment calls for it, the physician will explain what it involves before you decide to travel.
That the decision should not be made without their neurologist knowing, and that this treatment does not change the course of the disease. We wrote a page for people in your position, with the questions worth asking any clinic.
Two to seven days, depending on what the assessment indicates and the number of applications.
The first review point is at forty-five days. Changes, when they happen, are gradual and not universal.
Send us your MRI and we will tell you if you are a candidate
The assessment is with the specialist who performs this protocol. If your case is outside what it can help, we tell you on the first call.
What we need from you
- An MRI or X-ray less than 12 months old
- A list of the medication you take today
- What you have already tried: physiotherapy, injections, surgery
