Michael Nehls (born October 20, 1962) is a German doctor of medicine, author, and former cyclist. From 1983 until 1989 he studied medicine at the universities of Freiburg and Heidelberg. In 1997, he achieved his postdoctoral lecture qualification in molecular genetics. Nehls authored over 50 scientific publications, two of which were published with the Nobel Prize winners Paul Greengard and Martin Evans. In 2015, his work was honored by the American Association of Immunologists as a "pillar of immunologic research" for leading investigators in the discovery of a key molecular switch required for the development of the adaptive immune system.[1]
Career
In 2003, after a carrier in scientific research and upper management, the former marathon runner decided - after 20 years of a sedentary lifestyle - to reconvene with serious sport.[2]
In 2008, after having successfully competed in several long-distance cycling events,[2] he finished the Race Across America in 10 days, 22 hours and 56 minutes to cover a distance of 3.000 miles between Oceanside, California, and Annapolis, Maryland. Out of 27 solo-participants he finished in seventh position. Nehls devised a new regenerative strategy and rested a total of over 90 hours, several times more than his competitors.[3] und so insgesamt über 90 Stunden pausiert.[4] He wrote a book about his experience called "Herausforderung Race Across America" ("Challenge Race Across America") and produced a DVD called 'Du musst nicht siegen, um zu gewinnen. (English translation: "You need no victory to be a winner") on his own.
Since 2011, Nehls has published several books on the necessary behavioral changes required for healthy aging from an evolutionary history point of view. First "The Methuselah-Strategy" then with Alzheimer-Lüge (English translation: '"The Alzheimer's Lie") and Alzheimer ist heilbar (English translation: "Alzheimer's can be cured") two books about Alzheimer's disease, in which he presents his theory about the development of this special form of dementia from evolutionary history of life and systems biology point of view.
The German biochemist Christian Haass criticized Nehls' statements on Alzheimer's disease for the Alzheimer-Gesellschaft München (Munich Alzheimer Society) in 2015 as misleading and harmful for those affected. Behavior and preventive measures did have an influence on the onset and progression of the disease. In principle, however, Alzheimer's disease cannot be prevented in this way. “Preventing Alzheimer’s disease simply through a correct lifestyle” is “too nice a pipe dream” and “does not do justice to the 1.2 million people affected in Germany.” Such claims are “well suited for pseudo-scientific treatises, but they are... On closer inspection, it only serves the author’s vanity.”[5] In 2021, the bioethiciane Silke Schicktanz described Nehls as a “popular science author”, whose content is more or less ignored by the scientific mainstream, with his focus on prediction and preventing dementia (as opposed to curing it) is illustrative of the contemporary discourse in Germany on the topic.[6]
Dr. Nehls' article titled "Unified theory of Alzheimer's disease (UTAD): implications for prevention and curative therapy" was also internationally published in the Journal of Molecular Psychiatry.[7] For his breakthrough discovery regarding the development, prevention and therapy of Alzheimer's disease, he received the 2015 Hanse-Award for Psychiatry from the University of Rostock, Germany.[8]

Es gibt also erst mal keinen Grund, warum ich dann nur eine Stunde schlafen sollte. Ich habe mir dann ausgerechnet, dass ich pro Tag 15 Stunden fahren werde. Und den Rest schlafe. Dadurch vermutete ich eine Regeneration, die es wettmachen würde, dass ich schlief, während die anderen weiterfuhren
