Preventing Alzheimer's: Ways to Help Prevent, Delay, Detect, and Even Halt Alzheimer's Disease and OtherForms of Memory Loss

Deep down, many of us Boomers harbor fears of this dreaded disease. As we recognize ourselves "slowing down" we are fearful of memory loss and the challenges of a progressive disease which 'takes no prisoners.' Here, in "Preventing Alzheimer's Disease" is a study which gives hope through valuable information and explanations presented in a practical way,confronting our deepest fears and directing us in ways to detect and even the halt this heartless killer in it's stealthy path towards destruction of ourselves and our family. Congratulations to Drs. R. Shankle and Daniel Amen, M.D. for their diligent research and generosity in sharing their knowledge with those of us who live daily in the shadow of Alzheimer's-a thief of our past allowing only a despairing present and hopeless future. We must all take up arms against this enemy and defeat it...research and early prevention is the answer! --Elaine A. Small, BA, MA, Author: Priests in the Attic.com

Absolutely convincing and motivating that Alzheimer's is to the brain what heart disease is to the heart.And so, as with heart disease, my future is most likely up to me, whatever hand I've been dealt.Also, as with heart disease, it is best to talk about risk factors, lifestyle factors, scenarios, and statistics, rather than live in fear and/or denial.The book is now dated and probably overly technical, but periodic screening is now available, and where I go, they share the basic philosophy of the book.

We are at a loss when our memories start to go. Nothing happens when we tell our doctor. Another says "Old Age", another says "Depression". Where is the help we were promised when urged to tell at early signs? PREVENTING ALZHEIMER'S gives us explanations, photographs, and tools with which to fight that awful fate. So much can be done with exercise,diet, attitude. The results are backed up. We see light!

Interesting information is provided on Alzheimer's and other types of dementia. Although some information is rather technical, there is a great deal of information for the average person. An included glossary of terms is very helpful in understanding the material presented. One of the main points made is the importance of early treatment for this condition. With early diagnosis and treatment the progression of Alzheimer's can be delayed. Also, new treatments for Alzheimer's and other dementia will be available in the near future.

The latest information concerning Alzheimer's. very important information that we can all benefit from!

I have purchased just about every book Mr. Amen as written. My dad died of Alz. in 1999. I refuse to let that dreaded disease hit my brain. I am doing everything he teaching in this book and feel confident in developing a healthy mind. Thank you Dr. Amen.
