@marionbuck There is no such thing as reversing Alzheimers disease, despite years of research costing billions of dollars. Yet every day/week/month a new cure becomes big news. This one is no different.
Not only you and your husband, but millions of other people wish there was a cure or proven prevention for this terrible affliction.
You are referring to this article:

What you read as an endorsement, I read as an advertisement, talking about current short-term results for a single patient - in science this is "anecdotal evidence", not proof. When looking to the main Bredesen Protocol Website, the one clinical study cited involved 25 people, an earlier one included 100. In neither study did they measure an untreated control group to see how they compared.
Have you read this rebuttal?

While I truly believe that a healthy diet and lifestyle, as well as keeping the mind and body active, can help delay the onset of symptoms of Alzheimer's and some other dementias, so far science has found no way to prevent or cure it.
To me the true "Red Flag" is that Bredesen left his research at Buck Institute to promote his business full time. If this was a verifiable and viable system, why didn't he continue to develop it inside the scientific system?
Now you have my 2 cents worth, and I fervently wish there was a cure. We lost our 69 year old niece to the ravages of dementia just one month ago, and it has afflicted my family and my husband's for generations.
@sueinmn I totally concur with the information and thoughts made by @marionbuck. I'm a retired physician, though I am not offering this as medical advice but only as a concerned caregiver.
