Alzheimers - What you must know to protect your brain
Dr Sandra Cabot
Each
day, in every corner of the world, thousands of people are seeing their
brains and their lives destroyed by Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a deadly
epidemic that’s only getting worse
Worldwide, nearly 36 million
people are believed to be living with Alzheimer's disease or other
dementias. By 2030, if breakthroughs are not discovered, we will see an
increase to nearly 66 million. By 2050, rates could exceed 115 million.
Every
four seconds, a new case of dementia occurs somewhere in the world.
These numbers are staggering, and they are also climbing steadily. But
do not despair.
In Alzheimer’s: What you must know to protect
your brain, which is based on Dr Cabot’s careful research and her 30
years of experience as a doctor, you’ll find new hope and many new
options in your personal battle to reduce your risk of Alzheimer’s and
other forms of dementia.
Learn about how Alzheimer’s affects the
brain and how other medical problems may mimic its symptoms. Also, hear
from an expert, the vital techniques to improve your memory.
You’ll
take a tour of the normal brain and see how billions of neurones guide
your body and your life. Then, learn what happens when Alzheimer’s
strikes. With Alzheimer’s, you forget all too soon the things you
thought you could never forget.
Are you personally at risk for
the disease? Take a test and find out—and then review some of the most
common risk factors and learn how many of these risk factors can be
neutralised.
There is no one medical or laboratory test that can
pinpoint early Alzheimer’s with certainty, but Dr Cabot has researched
the most effective tests and is sharing this information in a manner
that is easy to read, and even easier to understand.
Diagnosing
early-stage Alzheimer’s is like trekking deep forests with no map—it’s
very easy to get lost. Dr.Cabot can put you on the right path, as she
reveals the 10 common warning signs of Alzheimer’s.
The association between depression and the risk of dementia is discussed for the first time in a book.
With
no current cure available for Alzheimer’s, this is essential reading
for those who don’t want to leave the fate of their brain and their
golden years to chance. For the first time in print, Dr Cabot explains
her 4-Point Program for Stopping Alzheimer’s. She doesn’t accept the
common medical belief that Alzheimer’s can never be prevented or slowed,
and reveals how a few simple lifestyle changes are the stepping off
point to a healthier brain.
Brain Boosting Foods & Recipes
The
fattiest organ in the human body…what is it? The liver perhaps, or a
kidney? No, it’s the brain, and this fatty organ is terribly fragile and
vulnerable to damage from free radicals. What you put in your stomach
has a huge effect on the health of your brain. Dr Cabot pulls no punches
in providing a selection of foods guaranteed to tune-up and protect the
vulnerable structures of the brain against the damage caused by
Alzheimer’s dementia.
All of the recipes for meals, raw juices and shakes have brain-boosting and brain-protective potential.
Brain Booster Supplements
First,
try powering your car engine with muddy water. Then, switch to a
high-quality petrol. The improvement you’ll see is similar to the
improvement that will take place in your brain when you start eating
brain boosting foods (garlic and turmeric are great for your brain).
There are various vitamins and minerals which are vital to the health of
your brain - they include selenium, fish oil, magnesium, B vitamins,
lecithin, zinc and amino acid supplements.
Brain Games
The
final piece of Dr. Cabot’s 4-Point Program is mental stimulation, a
definite Alzheimer’s antidote that can be practised any place, with
anybody, and at any time. Learn simple brain exercises and games to
strengthen you mind.
Medications
There are a number
of possible advances in prescription drugs where Alzheimer’s is
concerned. You’ll read about these, find out what medicines are
currently being dispensed, which ones may follow, and how participating
in a clinical trial may help you and let you help others.
Final Thoughts
Can
Alzheimer’s disease be prevented? In many people it can. Can it's
progression be slowed? Yes, again. Can some of the brain damage
inflicted by Alzheimer’s be repaired? Very possibly, as we now have new
research that shows that laboratory animals with Alzheimer’s dementia
actually get better once the abnormal genes are switched off. We also
know that it is possible to grow new brain cells and new connections
between brain cells no matter how old you are. Dr. Cabot reviews the key
points of her 4-Point Program for protecting the brain and shares her
compassionate and practical tips on caring for loved ones who have the
disease.
