Advisory Board

Established in 2014, our Medical and Dental Advisory Board works in the interest of the public and medical community to advance the mission of Sharp Again Naturally.

The Advisory Board’s primary focus is on the following critical initiatives:

• Produce a “living protocol” for an integrative approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Create a set of guidelines for practitioners which outlines evaluation and treatment options for the identified causes of dementia, supported by research studies. This approach recognizes that there are many potential causes of dementia and many ways to treat it.
• Review new research and information as it is published to determine whether it bears on our comprehensive, holistic approach. Make recommendations to amend the guidelines when warranted.
• Promote the new paradigm of a multi-causal, multi-therapeutic approach for treating dementia with patients and other practitioners through conversations, newsletters, blogs, articles and other means.
