Product Description

Review

...a choice pick for health collections focusing on senior issues. (Midwest Book Review )

Product Description

This groundbreaking work rests on the belief that Alzheimer's is one of several types of dementia and in most cases is avoidable. Rather than being the inevitable result of aging, Mendelson asserts dementia is primarily the result of bad diet, stress, lack of mental and physical exercise, and other lifestyle choices. He offers hope to both patients and their caregivers by recommending vitamins and more that may mitigate or delay the effects of dementia, as well as suggesting lifestyle changes that might help a person avoid dementia altogether.

This review is from: Beyond Alzheimer's: How to Avoid the Modern Epidemic of Dementia (Hardcover)

I am a Social Worker assisting clients and families affected by dementia. I must say, Beyond Alzheimer's is the best book I have read on this topic. Dr. Mendelson's writing style keeps both the layman and professional in mind. The book provides easy to understand descriptions of the physiology of the brain as we age, causes of dementia, and preventative strategies - including well studied alternative approaches. Beyond Alzheimer's is very well researched, citing the most current data available. It is on the top of my list to recommend to both colleagues and clients.

This review is from: Beyond Alzheimer's: How to Avoid the Modern Epidemic of Dementia (Hardcover)

Like his previous book "Metabolic Syndrome and Psychiatric Illness, Dr. Mendelson's new book BEYOND ALZHEIMERS - how to avoid the modern epidemic of dementia -ventures with great clarity to new conceptualizations of very important health issues. His insights are remarkable and I thoroughly enjoy his writing which I find compelling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Avoid the Modern Epidemic of Dementia, Oct 27 2009

By Gene Taft - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Beyond Alzheimer's: How to Avoid the Modern Epidemic of Dementia (Hardcover)

Highly recommended for anyone interested in A) the definitions for Alzheimer's, Dementia and related issues, B) the causes of Dementia, and C) the many ways to help prevent and treat dementia. Great for both caregivers and those touched by dementia, as well as the layperson simply interested in enlightening him/herself about the realities of this crippling problem that is becoming more and more prevalent across the globe.
