the myth of alzheimers what you arent being told about todays most dreaded diagnosis

A leading gerontologist presents his provocative approach to aging and senility, calling for a relabeling of age associated cognitive challenges. In a call to arms to re-evaluate the way we think about and deal with Alzheimer's disease, the author states that the current view of Alzheimer's as a virtual death sentence obscures the potential for vitality and wisdom that still exists in the graying years. The Alzheimer's label too often generates fear, paranoia, and anxiety. By taking a closer look at what Alzheimer's is and isn't, he can offer hope to families as well as to the individuals themselves who suffer from a decline in their cognitive abilities. He presents a new approach to the treatment of brain aging, using examples from his own practice as well as from around the world, and provides practical advice for getting the best level of care.
