Awakening From Alzheimer's: How America's Most Innovative Doctors are Reversing Alzheimer's, Dementia and Memory Loss

This book is wonderful and my favorite . It is easy to read and not full of whys but full of choices. My husband has had ALZ for almost 11 years. We have done a lot of these and other treatments. I read other reviews, and my thoughts are: even not reversing but slowing down decline is an absolute win! My husband was diagnosed at age 60 using a nuclear brain test. We started many off the beaten path things mentioned in this book and some that were not mentioned. 11 years into the disease he is still functioning in life and just went to the college World Series. Buy this book and start fighting. The younger the patient the more success I think possible.

This book should be in every family library. It holds many important resources, all presented in a crisp, vital writing style that captivates and holds the reader's attention and imagination. We all need to pay attention to this text, for it could save your mind and your life. The information comes from interviews with the nine top physicians featured in the book. The author brings these dedicated physicians to life. Their courage and conviction supports their findings and implementations. Each chapter ends with valuable resources, including a link to the Oxford University site in England that even includes a short Cognitive Function Test (with almost immediate evaluation). This well done Test could serve as a warm-up for anyone going in for cognitive evaluation. The United States has significantly improved lately in educating its citizens in all matters concerned with our health and well-being. I just finished reading Peggy Sarlin's book, so I have not had time to search online for a site as functional and educational as the Oxford site. Perhaps other reviews can fill in this gap? Order this book soon, and read it aloud to your family as soon as it arrives!

I found the book very informative with several different approaches to preventing and treating Alsheimers and dementia. Several different practitioners relate the natural treatment programs which have bought back and/or prevented would be sufferers of having Alzheimers. There a several different approaches and treatments.. Good information and knowledge well worth the read.

Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia among older people. It is a neurodegenerative disease that damages the parts of the brain controlling thought, memory, and language. AD is named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer, a German doctor who, more than 100 years ago, studied the brain tissue of a woman who had died of an unusual mental illness, and found abnormal clumps (now called amyloid plaques) and tangled bundles of fibers (now called neurofibrillary tangles). Today, these plaques and tangles in the brain are considered signs of AD, as are other brain changes, including the death of nerve cells in areas of the brain that are vital to memory and other mental abilities and the disruption of functional connections, called synapses, that allow nerve cells to communicate with each other. The disease is also characterized by lower levels of some of the chemicals in the brain that carry messages between nerve cells. AD may impair thinking and memory by disrupting these messages. There probably is no single cause of AD. The most important known risk factors are age and family history, although education, diet, and environment might also play roles. Scientists are also finding evidence that some of the risk factors for heart disease and stroke—such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and low levels of the vitamin folate—might increase the risk of AD. Evidence is also increasing for physical, mental, and social activities as protective factors against AD. Although scientists have learned a great deal about AD, they still do not know what causes the disease and have not identified a cure for it. This book is truly a treasure of research and tips on how to address the symptoms of Alzheimer's, especially in the first and second stages of Alzheimer's. I have adopted the recommendations for my husband, Maj. Larry S. Potter, USAF Ret. (Remembering4You(dot)com) even if he is now in the advanced stage of his Alzheimer's. It has made all the difference in the world for him and he has regained so much. For example, he had not spoken full sentences for about 1.5 years. Now he speaks full sentences, is asking questions such as "Are you happy?" or "What did you say?", and he is able to move his arms to reposition his own pillows and his legs are moving again with the feet reaching to touch the floor. He stopped walking almost 3 years ago now. I like to say that adopting some of these recommendations such as Prevagen(R) and Lion's Mane to replace the standing Alzheimer's medications prescribed today with all sorts of dangerous side effects is a breakthrough for millions of individuals.

Good book about alternative new ways that doctors are helping patients with Alzheimers and Demtia Note I wanted the new updated 2016 version as shown in the photo, but instead got the older version with less chapters.

It makes sense. Certainly worth trying for your loved one to see if it can slow down the progression of Alzheimer's. My Dad was diagnosed a little over a year ago and while he is forgetful, he hasn't progressed past that to dangerous forgetfulness yet. I believe that the protocol in this book is helping.

What I particularly liked is how Peggy talks to you in such an easy way. Each chapter illustrates a different approach, introduces the science behind the approach and discusses any adverse interactions. The stories are based on actual family experiences which resonated with me. I also liked how Peggy explained how to get started and what to do with each of the ideas she presented. This is a must read book for anyone, not only those with any form of dementia but anyone interested in nutrition in general. I also had an opportunity to attend and hear Peggy speak to a group of elder care specialists. She is an excellent presenter and one whose message should certainly be heard.

I bought this book because my father is affected by this kind of illness and I believe the products described in the book are interesting. You probably kwow some of theses products such as coconut oil or gingko biloba, but there are others that are less known and more expensive. Il you want to try all the products described in this book, you will probably need to spend a few hundreds dollars per month but this is far less than the cost to place someone in a nursing home. However, there is no guaranty that thoses products really work for everyone, but it may be worth a try if you can afford it. I am not expecting miracles, but if this could help, why not trying it? The book is very easy to read. I read it in less than two hours and English is not my first language. Very easy to read and well done.

It is essential in our 21st century era to truly recognise Alzheimer's insidious threat and not be deceived until it is too late. As Alzheimer's reaches way beyond epidemic, way beyond massive scope of covid, the perilous responsibility of managing ones health 10-20 years from now when failure to self manage is likely

Really excellent book. Here you have all the information you need to keep a brain in as good shape as possible.

An up-to-date guide on the latest Alzheimer's findings. Well written, easy to understand and very interesting. It is good to have guidance on how to help yourself.

I had followed the series on " Awakening From Alzheimer's ", but never bought the book. It is such an easy read, chalk full of new ways to address Alzheimer's, and have started to use the coconut oil myself. Should be interesting. Just the occasional lapse, but wanted it as a preventative.

A very informative book full of surprising revelations. Thanks - - - will try a few things. I have already bought Coconut oil and have started taking it regularly.
