What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About™ Alzheimer's Disease: The Complete Guide to Preventing, Treating, and Coping with Memory Loss (What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About...(Paperback)) Paperback – 31 Oct. 2000

very informative and an easy read. Good for some one looking for things to do that will exercise the neurons. Very good value for money

I'm trained as a counselor specializing in elder care, so I read a lot of books about different mental and physical problems that effect older people. This book is one of the best for its positive approach, concrete, simple suggestions and thorough treatment of the subject of this disease doctors still don't really understand.Recently I ordered a copy for my aunt who suffers from Alzheimer's Disease. Since she lives alone, she doesn't remember receiving the copy or where it is. So, thanks to Amazon and the ease of ordering, I ordered her two more copies! She's looking forward to receiving one at least.I think this book is now out of print as I've been ordering used copies. Too bad. The only thing about this book that needs updating might be the medications now being used or the newest research. Otherwise, this book is the best for the person who suffers from this disease and all of the effected care givers.

I originally took this book out of the library but quickly decided that it was one I wanted to own. The book is honest and informative and I was even blessed enough to get an e-mail answer from the author when I had a question. As much as I pray for a cure, this guide has proved very helpful to me.

Excellent book, although there have been advances in the last 13 years. Unfortunately in the meantime Alzheimer's is now the leading cause of death in the US. Will buy the updated book if ever available Does not invalidate this valuable reference for individuals or families, in what to expect for those already diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and includes possible prevention regimens.

This is a very practical book and gives HOPE. While it is a bit dated--written in 2004, it still is full of great ideas. It offers great alternative approaches as well and is written by a doctor with a heart.
