Harvard-trained Neurologist Dr. Richard Isaacson answers the most common patient and caregiver questions on the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease (AD). He shares his cutting edge, comprehensive approach in the fight against AD, the greatest public health crisis today. This groundbreaking book has been written especially for patients, caregivers, family members, and allied healthcare professionals. Dr. Isaacson writes in easy to understand terms and easy to read (larger-type) print to help educate and inform those confronting AD. He outlines his comprehensive and scientifically-based approach that includes a comprehenisve 9-week diet and nutrition plan, with examples of what to eat, what not to eat, and a food terminology guide to help read and understand nutrition labels. He discusses the available medications, supplements, vitamins, and medical foods, as well as the proven non-drug approaches that have been shown to help in treatment and prevention. This book is a resource to empower families to understand the latest in AD. Remember: Knowledge is Power - Get informed, Get Educated. The fight against AD is a battle we must win. Sample Chapters: "What are the best strategies for treating and preventing AD?" "Where can I turn to for help and should I get a second opinion?" "I have a family member with Alzheimer's and am concerned about developing AD. What strategies do you suggest for prevention?" Dr. Isaacson has appeared widely in the media, including the Today Show, CBS, ABC, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, US News and World Report, CNN.com and Univision. This new 2012 edition is revised and expanded from his groundbreaking approach first published last year, was highlighted twice on the NBC Today Show (interviews by Meredith Vieira, and Kathie Lee and Hoda), Fox Good Day L.A., and a myriad of other television and radio programs throughout the United States. Review: WOW a must read... - WOW This book is a "must read" for families and health care workers dealing with the disease of Alzheimer's! I heard Dr. Isaacson on the Today Show a few weeks ago and was so impressed with him and his "cutting edge" approach to treating and preventing Alzheimers disease, that I immediately ordered two hardback copies and one for my Kindle (e-reader). I immediately received and read the kindle version. Giving hard copies to friends with family members with Alzheimer's. This book is informative, concise and very easily understood. As a healthcare provider (CRNA) dealing with Alzheimer's patients frequently, this book is the most hopeful and forward thinking book on the market today. Dr. Isaacson and his research on Alzheimer's is known and highly respected throughout the U.S. I highly recommend this book. Review: Very informative and easy to understand - The book contained the info I was looking for in a concise,easy to understand manner. He repeated a lot of the info, but this helped me to remember the key points. We have a family member w/AD, so now we have the option of following his guidelines and possibly preventing or lessening the effects of AD for other family members. It would certainly be rewarding to find a doctor in our area who would treat his patients like Dr Isaacson, with the one on one approach.

Somewhat informative
Okay but not as informative as desired about family relations to these patients. The author appears to be very experienced.

Good, but wordy, buy instead "The Alzheimer's Diet" by same author and a MD dietitian
You might skip this book as the contents are mostly or all included in "The Alzheimer's Diet" which is more comprehensive. But for the seriousness of the subject, and the low cost, you might want to buy both books.

Very Helpful Addition to the AD Library
An excellent outline for the benefit of patients and caregivers. Thoroughly researched, with materials explained carefully for patients and caregivers alike. Includes very practical suggestions for living with the illness, whether as a patient, care-giver or loved one. The book moves a curious reader beyond denial to an offering of constructive steps to deal with the disease process in its varying stages.

Please read this before you buy this book
i just wish there was a minus rating! This book is a complete rip off! There are no new recommendations at all It is just padded out to sell as a new study. Isaacson recommends a good quality fish oil, high in DHA and a good quality Curcumin tablet (turmeric root). There now you know - you do not have to waste your money! It is often I get upset about such things but this a blatant attempt to cash in on others medical misfortune. I do wish there were a way of returning books or complaining about them in a such a manner that others are fore-warned.
