At Wit's End truly helped our family see the differenbce
between normal aging and the problems presented by the
horrible disease Alzheimer's. Our fears have been minimized
knowing what signs to look for that are normal and those
that could be early signs of Alzheimer's. Thanks for all
the great information.

Plain Talk is just what this book is by Betty Swenson (Wisconsin)  5 Stars
October 09, 2006
The title of this book is just what it is - Plain and simple talk about Alzheimer's disease. But it is not only for families and clinicians. It is for anyone interested in the disease and how it affects not only those afflicted, but those around them. I have no family member or friend with this disease, however I found the book easy to read and easy to understand. Dr. Kraus has presented this subject in a sensitive, yet very informative manner. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to broaden their knowledge of this subject.

The other camp posits that all...
