Book excerpt: Invited to appear as an expert on the topic of Alzheimer's and dementia on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and CW, Dr. Jay Sordean, LAc, OMD expands upon his segments seen on TV stations all around the country in this concise and purposeful book. Do you believe that your brain is reading this description? If you said "Yes!" to yourself, that shows you the power that your brain possesses. So would you agree that your brain is your greatest asset and should be treated as such? That is the foundation belief of this book. So how do you go about taking care of your brain as if it is worth more than its weight in diamonds? What are you feeding your body? We have these amazing bodies, and these amazing systems called the brain and nervous system. So if you had a high end car (maybe you do), would you put low grade fuel in it or even would you put dirt and sand in it? Well, of course you wouldn't. So why would you put a steady diet of chips and fast food in your body? It, and your brain, is worth WAY MORE than the most expensive automobile. Interestingly, in the horse racing world, some people feed their horses more expensive food than they feed their children!! That makes no sense at all. Don't you think that your children are worth more than an animal? Of course, a particular food being expensive does not mean that it is necessarily really high quality, but you get what we are talking about. Are you spending lots of time reading about how you take care of your garden and car but are neglecting knowing about your brain and how to cultivate your children's brains? Your brain is your most important asset. Assessing the status of your brain early and often is the best way to spot early degeneration. Prevention of degeneration, dementia, and Alzheimer's risk is possible with 7 key memory care actions -- including combating obesity, blood sugar metabolism imbalance, inflammation, addressing multiple head injuries, proper nutrition, avoiding sugar, remembering names, improving blood circulation with NRCT and acupuncture, removing toxins from the body, preventing toxins from getting in the body, and preserving and honing sexual activity. NRCT is neurologic relief center technique and focuses on meningeal compression. Learn more about meningeal compression, NRCT, neurologic relief technique and the other methods necessary for everyone to improve their brain and increase their chances to avoid Alzheimer's and dementia, based on the latest of scientific studies. Obesity is epidemic. Physical toxicity is epidemic. ADHD is epidemic. Autism is epidemic. Diabetes is epidemic. Why so many epidemics? Could they all be related? Scientific studies and literature clearly show the connections between obesity, toxicity, immune dysfunction, sugar imbalances and degeneration of the brain. The degeneration of the brain, and the imbalanced development of the various parts of the brain are underlying factors related to autism, ADHD, diabetes, Alzheimer's and dementia. While the Alzheimer's Association states that there are many factors related to Alzheimer's, this book focuses on the key and primary factors that everyone has the ability to do something about to blunt the super-epidemics that are the results of modern lifestyles. Purchase this book and the companion book, "Super Brain: Maximize Your Brain Health for a Better Life" and you qualify for a discount on the comprehensive brain function consultation and evaluation by the author, Dr. Jay Sordean, LAc, OMD, QME.

Midge, a Harvard educated intellectual, struggles to comprehend the simplest words; Sarah’s father, Rob, slowly adapts to his new role as full-time caretaker, but still finds time for wordplay and poetry with his wife; Sarah and her sister Hannah argue, laugh, and grieve together as they join forces to help Midge.

Download or read book Understanding Alzheimer s Disease written by Neal R. Cutler and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2010-02-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alzheimer's disease has received growing attention in recent years because the affected population is growing quickly as life spans in America creep ever upward. As they near retirement, many Americans start to fear that any minor memory lapse-misplacing the keys or forgetting a name-might spell Alzheimer's. In reality such incidents are a normal part of the aging process. In Alzheimer's disease, such incidents progress to a point at which they interfere with normal daily activities on a regular basis, and memory loss becomes progressively more disabling. This book is written for anyone interested in learning more about Alzheimer's disease-people who have it, their families and caregivers, professionals who serve such people, teachers, and anyone with a general interest in the disease. An important feature of this book is clear explanation of the basic biology of the disease. Here is information about who gets the disease, how it is diagnosed, and what happens to people who have it. A large section is devoted to the subject of caring for affected individuals, including legal and financial planning advice and pointers for finding outside support services. Existing treatments are discussed along with suggestions for handling many symptoms without drugs. Understanding Alzheimer's Disease describes the most current knowledge of how and why it arises and gives information about the many avenues being explored in search of a cure. With its chapters on causes and on the search for treatments, this guide will be of interest to a wider section of the population than other books on the disease.

Download or read book On Pluto Inside the Mind of Alzheimer s written by Greg O'Brien and published by Good Night Books. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about living with Alzheimer’s, not dying with it. It is a book about hope, faith, and humor—a prescription far more powerful than the conventional medication available today to fight this disease. Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the US—and the only one of these diseases on the rise. More than 5 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia; about 35 million people worldwide. Greg O’Brien, an award-winning investigative reporter, has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's and is one of those faceless numbers. Acting on long-term memory and skill coupled with well-developed journalistic grit, O’Brien decided to tackle the disease and his imminent decline by writing frankly about the journey. O’Brien is a master storyteller. His story is naked, wrenching, and soul searching for a generation and their loved ones about to cross the threshold of this death in slow motion. On Pluto: Inside the Mind of Alzheimer’s is a trail-blazing roadmap for a generation—both a “how to” for fighting a disease, and a “how not” to give up!
