Stop Alzheimer's Now! by Dr. Bruce Fife

In this new book, Dr. Fife discusses, in layman's terms, the many faces of neurodegeneration, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, dementia with lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, ALS ,MS (Multiple Sclerosis), and FTD (frontotemporal dementia).

In the first couple of chapters he describes the outward signs of these neurodegenerative disorders and explains the physical processes that lead to the death of the neuron cells in the brain and spinal cord. He also discusses available treatments for these diseases.
In addition, he gives great information on how the brain normally ages. Dr. Fife also covers how free radicals affect the brain and how genetics, diet, trauma, drugs, stress, toxins and infections all play a role in premature aging and neurodegeneration.
This book's pages are filled with research and studies and contain a wealth of information. There is new information with current studies on the relationship between cholesterol and health, and a great explanation of cholesterol's many roles in the body as well as the effects of both low and high cholesterol levels.

In the last half of the book he outlines the preventative measures readers can take, including changes in diet. For example, Dr. Fife explains how ketones "feed" the brain and the effect this has on the neurons. The menu examples, recipes, and battle plan he gives the reader is invaluable, as too are the tests included in the appendix for assessment, and the section on drugs that are known to aggravate neurodegeneration.
