monumental work. Dr. Bredesen completely recontextualizes this
devastating condition away from a mysterious and unsolvable process
to one that is both preventable and, yes, reversible. Pinning our

drug has left both physicians and patients empty handed. But now,
this comprehensive approach offers solid results, bringing hope to
so many.

--Mark Hyman, MD, author of the #1 New York Times
bestseller Eat Fat, Get Thin This book represents a major

nutrition and lifestyle change. For the first time ever, patients
and families affected by Alzheimer's--as well as those at high risk
for this devastating disease--truly have a reason to be
hopeful.
