Product Description
From a world-renowned neurologist: the first book to feature a scientifically substantiated program for the only treatment for Alzheimer s: prevention.
Alzheimer s is pandemic among older adults worldwide, and as baby boomers age it promises to be the Great American Epidemic of the twenty-first century. Unlike other books in the category, which focus primarily on caring for an Alzheimer s patient after diagnosis, The Anti-Alzheimer s Prescription presents a program to lower your risk by 70%:
Assess your risk factors and determine your Real Brain Age
Step One: the Anti-Alzheimer s Diet, including recipes and a twenty-eight-day menu
Step Two: daily physical exercises for the body and mind
Step Three: daily neurobics to build a big brain reserve
Step Four: the importance of stress reduction and quality sleep
Making a diagnosis and the latest medical therapies being developed
For the millions of men and women at risk for developing this debilitating illness, The Anti-Alzheimer s Prescription is a lifesaving breakthrough.

Dr. Fortanasce's "Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription" is written in an easy to read, non-clinical style. Combining established scientific findings and anecdotal information based on years of clinical practice, he presents the 4 step program in a logical and compelling way. Especially if there is a history of Alzheimer's in your family, or if you are just interested in staying "at the top of your game" for as many years as possible, the Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription offers the reader simple and practical lifestyle interventions to promote longevity of mind and spirit.

I found the Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription very informative and easy to understand. The exercise program is excellent. I have started on the diet and found it satisfying and I am losing weight.

As a speech-language pathologist, I feel the book was an outstanding guide for understanding the symptoms and preventative measures to overcome the onset of the disease. I would recommend this book to colleagues, patients and family members for an informative, and exceptionally well-written book. Dr. Fortanasce has written the information so all can understand the impact this disease has on the patient and the family.
Essential & Hopeful Must Read with Practical Information August 26, 2008

The Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription is a must read for all of us, who are concerned about a healthy future without Alzheimer's-- whether it's our own, our parents' or our loved ones. This book provides practical information on how we can make deliberate changes and modifications in our diet and lifestyle for a healthy brain. In a very conversational style, this medical self-help book is a quick read, easy to understand and presents examples we can personally relate to.
Dr. Vincent Fortanasce's own personal story about helplessly watching the spirit and essence of the father he knew, disappear to the horrible Alzheimer's disease heightens the book's urgent message of Alzheimer's prevention. In addition to his genetic pre-disposition, Dr. Fortanasce writes from his training, knowledge and medical experience in neurology, psychiatry and rehabilitation.
Who would have thought that a byproduct of our successful lives--often a frenetic, stressful, sleepless existence is exactly what can contribute to dementia? It is alarming that there is currently no drug available that can stop the progression of Alzheimer's. With suggestions regarding specific diet, exercise, neurobics and lifestyle changes, the Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription conveys a message of hope in battling this horrible epidemic.

This is an excellent book written by an outstanding neurologist that my husband and I have known for several years. He has given our daughter such quality help with her severe neurological difficulties. Dr. Vincent Fortanasce shares so clearly and honestly some of his life experiences of his own Father which makes his book an easy read and all about being aware of risk factors in regards to Alzheimer's. His approach to this horrific disease makes such tremendous sense in what we can do "now" in our lives for prevention. We have already purchased two copies for friends -- plus one that we have for ourselves. Paul & Jeannie Cedar
