Best user friendly book on the market
By Diane Fallon - July 3, 2004As someone whose father died from Alzheimer's and whose mother is suffering from this terrible disease, I wish this book was written years ago. I've read a lot about the disease and Drs. Shankle and Amen have written the best user friendly book on the subject. The brain diagrams, along with the descriptions of the areas of the brain, and what behaviors each area is responsible for, makes for an enjoyable read. Most importantly, however, is the overall upbeat tone of the book. An early diagnosis can make a huge difference in the life of the sufferer as well as their caregiver, so one need not feel their condition is hopeless. The new therapies Dr. Shankle mentions, along with over-the-counter supplements show real progress has been made in treating all kinds of dementia. Another important aspect of the book is the Shankle-Amen Early Dementia Detection Questionnaire which assesses one's risk factor. I know from taking this test that I need to have a neurological check-up every year... read more
If you are frightened by AD, read this book.
By Gaetan Lion - April 27, 2006If you are interested in this book, you are probably over 50 and have a relative or friend who suffered from Alzheimer's disease (AD). You are probably frightened by even the faintest possibility of sharing such a fate. And, you want to inform yourself to do everything you can to prevent AD for yourself and loved ones.
This is a timely book for you to read. It is written by two medical experts. This book goes into greater detail in explaining the specific functions associated with the different lobes of the brain going much beyond the vapid left brain vs right brain concept. They also define all the different types of Dementia related to AD. They explain the four main neuronal causes of AD. They outline underlying medical conditions (cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, etc..) that can ultimately affect the brain and cause AD. They clearly outline the genetic component of AD. If you carry one or more of the Apolipoprotein E4 or Presenilin genes, your risk of getting... read more
Outstanding! Concrete, helpful and encouraging expert advice
By nohmn - June 2, 2004This is a book I would recommend to anyone concerned about the risk of deterioration in mental functioning, about MCI (mild cognitive impairment) or Alzheimer's Disease. It describes new developments in diagnosis by brain scanning technology and treatments (and practices in our lives)that can be done early enough to really make a difference in holding off deterioration until even more effective treatment protocols (which the authors anticipate) are developed. It also suggests steps that promise to reduce greatly one's risk of Alzheimer's and related dementia's.The authors discuss the research 'to date' (it is a 2004 book). Dr. Shankle is a neurologist noted for research work involving the brain who also has worked a great deal with Alzheiemer's victims. Dr. Amen is described as a neuroscientist and psychiatrist who has done extensive work with brain scanning technology such as the SPECT scan referred to in the book.Having experienced the effects of Alzheimer's on a close... read more
