Laughter and Tears: From the Diaries Written by Their Loving Spouses

Matt Allen - Author
Peers have labeled Allen, a resident of Beaverton, OR, an unorthodox, visionary, creative, maverick engineer. The GI Bill and working as a logger allowed him to earn a BS in engineering from OSU. His positions in heavy industry and defense were devoted to applied research in manufacturing. With the desire of becoming an MD, he investigated health issues...HIV/AIDS, cancer, heart disease. Having two family members succumb to Alzheimer's, he spent two decades investigating and researching the disease as a caregiver and messenger. The emphasis of this book is toward lifestyle and supplements...exercise, nutrition, and natural medicine...the prevention of Alzheimer's.
