The End of Alzheimer’s: The First Program to Prevent and Reverse Cognitive Decline

A groundbreaking plan to prevent and reverse Alzheimer’s Disease that fundamentally changes how we understand cognitive decline.
 
Everyone knows someone who has survived cancer, but until now no one knows anyone who has survived Alzheimer’s Disease. 
 
In this paradigm shifting book, Dale Bredesen, MD, offers real hope to anyone looking to prevent and even reverse Alzheimer’s Disease and cognitive decline.  Revealing that AD is not one condition, as it is currently treated, but three, The End of Alzheimer’s outlines 36 metabolic factors (micronutrients, hormone levels, sleep) that can trigger “downsizing” in the brain. The protocol shows us how to rebalance these factors using lifestyle modifications like taking B12, eliminating gluten, or improving oral hygiene.
 
The results are impressive. Of the first ten patients on the protocol, nine displayed significant improvement with 3-6 months; since then the protocol has yielded similar results with hundreds more. Now, The End of Alzheimer’s brings new hope to a broad audience of patients, caregivers, physicians, and treatment centers with a fascinating look inside the science and a complete step-by-step plan that fundamentally changes how we treat and even think about AD.

And for This, I Am Grateful: Inspirations for Caregivers on the Alzheimer’s Journey

During her mother’s four-year journey through Alzheimer’s, Susan Vohs Fairley yearned for words of support, guidance and advice from those with experience and knowledge of what she was going through. Aided by friends and inspired by a belief in the power of miracles, she eventually started a support group so that she could be a knowledgeable and comforting source for others. Every Sunday, Susan pauses to write words of inspiration and encouragement to the members of her group and a much wider network of caregivers. Collected in this volume are two years’ worth of Susan’s weekly newsletters.

A Guide for Caregivers of Aging Parents with Alzheimer’s: Words of Assistance, Comfort and Inspiration

If you are interested in this book, you’re probably in a similar situation as I find myself. I’m a baby boomer who is helping to care for a loved one with Alzheimer’s. In my case, it’s my 94-year old mother. How we may differ is that I’m also a grief and relationship coach, and I have had experience helping people deal with difficulties brought on by change and loss. Of course, it’s a lot easier to offer assistance to others than to put these same suggestions to use in your own life. However, I try my best. In fact, that’s why I’ve written this book. It’s to constantly remind me about how I can best respond to my own difficult situation. The words of assistance, comfort and inspiration contained within these pages cannot make your parents well again. However, your power lies in how you choose to respond to their illness and failing health issues. This book provides you with concrete suggestions on how to handle common situations you will encounter. Additionally, it offers you an alternate perspective on how to view your changing circumstances as you become the parent and your parent the child.
