Video Transcription:Hi everyone this is Dale Bredesen I am a neurologist and neuroscientist and I have been working on neurodegenerative disease mechanisms and treatment for coming up on 40 years we've always been interested in the same thing which is understanding the disease so that we can get the absolute best outcomes and we were the first to report reversal of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease and we're continuing to look for how we can get best outcomes as you already know it has turned out over the last several years that it's become very clear uh that Alzheimer's is largely a dental disease it's largely its oral microbiome it's Mercury it's Airway sleep apnea it's uh infections uh that have been undiagnosed often these things are incredibly important and therefore for all of us to get best outcomes requires well-trained Physicians along with well-trained dentists and so we've looked around for the for the best Partners to partner with and understanding especially with some very interesting recent data that if you look at the microbiome within the brain and of course I was taught in medical school many years ago that the brain is a sterile organ you're not going to find any microbiome but that's turned out to be incorrect and when you look at the brain microbiome both in health and disease the majority of what you find is oral microorganisms which is really quite amazing some also from rhinal sin sinus regions as well uh so it really behooves us to to be looking at this and to optimize and I think in the long run there will be neurobio discs just as there are probiotics that we use for the gut and for the oral cavity so we're always interested in partnering with the people who've got the the best products and the best evaluations and treatment approaches and so recently we we have partner partnered with StellaLife very excited about this  and are offering three on our website they're offering uh three different excellent products one is Vega Oral Care rinse and this is something that actually reduces P gingivalis reduces F nucleatum and other organisms that are associated uh with cognitive decline and Associated with invasive organisms associated with periodontitis and that sort of thing the second thing then is a a pre and probiotic lenes so that now with this with these together  we can really improve the oral microbiome and by extension very likely improve the brain microbiome and then the third is Vega Oral Care gel which is for things like pain a dry mouth things like that so we're very excited to do this I think that this is going to help us to take the next step to get better and better outcomes and I encourage everyone take a look with a StellaLife care specialist at a 30 minute online discussion  about these and about what can be done to get better outcomes I think we all need to work together to get absolute best outcomes we can help in people with these neurodegenerative diseases that have been otherwise untreatable thanks very much
