ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor.  After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine.  While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine.  From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics.  His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics.  He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.

At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline.  We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event.  Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area.  We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance.  Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
AREDs is Age-Related Eye Disease. It is a major cause of blindness and loss of sight. It really is prevented by supplements: Vitamins A, C, E and Zin. These are very high doses, the kind you won't get in a routine multivitamin. Since eyes are derived from the same tissue as brain, and biologically behind the blood-brain barrier, you have to wonder about the implications re: the meaning of this. Would antioxidant supplementation at this level protect the brain as well? This specific video is about the 10 year follow up on the AREDs study population. Yes, it still protected against AREDs. But guess what? It also protected against overal death. Hmm.  

The original video on AREDs ( pt 1 ) is at the following link.
