Excellent resource!

Excellent resource for anyone interested in Alzheimer's, especially for those who are at risk or have a loved one at risk. The most up to date information I've found, written for all of us to understand, and by a neurologist no less! My mother was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's at only 75 years of age (intermediate stage), and both my maternal grandparents had Alzheimer's as well. I have sent this book to all my siblings...it gives some relief from the fear of heredity to be able to have an active role in the possibility of prevention. The first thing I did when I bought this book was to read the chapters on vitamins and supplements (and promptly added those to my daily regimen), only then did I find myself at chapter one.

Impressive!

I found this book extremely helpful for anyone having questions about Alzheimer's. And that includes most people who intend to live to a ripe age! Also those who have relatives with the disease. It is written by a medical doctor but in layman's language, and it gives practical advice based on latest scientific research.

A must read for everyone!

This book is outstanding! I'm in my early 30s, but because my grandmother just got diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I am trying to find out as much about the disease as possible. This book is an extremely useful tool to: 1) learn more about how the disease will affect my grandmother as she progresses, and 2)learn about things I can do right now to help reduce my risk for Alzheimer's as I age. If I could recommend one book, it would be this one. It's easy to read and provides real answers to the questions we all seem to have. Since I finished the book, I've passed it along to other family members so they can benefit from the information, too.

Not just for Alzheimer's patients. This book is for us all

Dr. Sabbagh has written a book that has benefits for everyone. He lays out the science of Alzheimer's research in a way that is clear and understandable to the lay reader. Reading this book is like having a conversation with someone who cares. I recommend it to anyone with an interest in improving quality of life for themselves or loved ones.

Dr. Sabbagh makes it clear that Alzheimer's is an issue for us all. He describes current understanding of the disease without being afraid to admit that there are yet limits to what the scientific community knows about its treatment and prevention. He gives clear and simple suggestions for maintaining and improving brain health and overall health in general.

It is easy to see that Dr. Sabbagh cares deeply about his subject matter. His case studies are poignant and touching, and oftentimes inspirational. He makes it clear that it is his hope to eradicate Alzheimer's and work himself "out of a job." He sees this disease as a global concern that we all would be wise to learn more about.
