Generally speaking, our brain and body may be on fire for years before being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or dementia. It is our mission to be able to tell you way ahead of time if you are dealing with inflammation which is the root cause of memory loss.
We provide cutting-edge testing and prevention for those with concerns based on symptoms or family history.
Advanced Genetic Testing for determining Alzheimer’s Risk
Dr. Richard Pither, Ph.D., CEO of Cytox at Oxford, is the originator of genoSCORE, a method of evaluating an individual’s risk of Alzheimer’s disease that is a key component of the Alzheimer Risk Test developed by Sampled. Sampled is a CLIA-certified laboratory and has developed this saliva test that analyzes over 100,000 genetic variants associated with, or protect against, the development of Alzheimer’s disease. The test then provides a single score – based on your unique genetics – that shows your risk compared to the wider population. The test will also report on APOE status – a known risk factor in Alzheimer’s. Dr. Lalezar firmly believes this test will empower you to take preventative measures to treat and prevent dementia.
Cost of at-home test and consultation: $1250
Please call our office at 310-477-1166 and ask for a test kit to be shipped to you. Once we have your test results, we will either set up a phone consultation or invite you to the office to discuss your care plan.
Treatment:
Heavy metals, pesticides, and toxins accumulate in fat cells, including the brain. In general, heavy metals are neurotoxins that disintegrate the neurons’ structure and cause havoc in the brain. Dr. Lalezar highly recommends replacing dental amalgam fillings (in a safe manner) with porcelain or composite. She also recommends coming off high mercury fish such as tuna, king mackerel, sea bass, cod, catfish, orange roughy, and swordfish.
IV DMPS and CaEDTA chelation and high dose IV Glutathione is highly recommended to remove all heavy metals from the body. An infrared sauna is suggested to remove smaller toxins such as pesticides and chemicals.
Taking curcumin, ginkgo Biloba and fish oil and being on an anti-inflammatory and keto diet is essential to improve cognitive function and memory.
