"Staff Picks" by Liberties Fine Books of Boca Raton
This five-hour seminar condenses decades of careful observation and considerable corporate-neutral research. Dr. Roberts clarifies the nature and evolution of Alzheimer's disease, the risk and contributory factors, early warning clues, misconceptions, and the numerous neurotoxic influences to which our society has been exposed. He then details a panoramic program of valid-- but not guaranteed-- preventive efforts BEFORE extensive irreversible brain damage has occurred.

Nutrition Health Review
We can do little about some of the risk factors Dr. Roberts names--such as being female or being tall--but he provides lengthy lists of measures we CAN take to minimize our exposure to those things he believes can increase our chances of getting the disease. These include diet modification, tobacco, and remaining physically and mentally active in middle age. Particular emphasis is placed on the responsibility of physicians to "Think Alzheimers Disease!"...even if gross memory loss is not yet present, since early detection can maximize preventive efforts.
