I did some digging into Dr. Bredesen's work and the study you mentioned didn't have a control group. If you don't have a control group and you're changing dozens of variables simultaneously, you're not doing science.
This is not to say that his patients don't enjoy some subjective benefits, or that diet and exercise and mental stimulation aren't helpful, but Dr. Bredesen cannot have any scientific insight into Alzheimer's until he does an actual study.
On the other hand, Dr Dale Bredesen has already in a very small study with 10 persons, reversed Alzheimer in 9 of 10 patients. A followup study with 100 persons is not yet finished but preliminary results show "similar results". The work of Dr Bredesen is mostly unknown but this will likely change in the near future. The work of Dr Bredesen may start a revolution since he does not use a traditional medicine but a holistic approach which basically fights inflammations at all levels possible.
