Several years ago I had a study participant, a former engineer who developed dementia incidental to a hernia operation. So I did quite a bit of studying on that. I may have mentioned this in class, but I don’t always, however, we do talk about this problem in chapter 7 of our book on stopping Alzheimer’s. […]

Thousands of researchers will descent this weekend on Boston for the annual Alzheimer’s Association’s International Conference. This always provides a smorgasbord of new insights, the best of which I will be posting or linking to here on this website. One I am most excited about is the study I was involved in last year.

BOSTON, Massachusetts — One of the first practical studies presented this week at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in Boston was on early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The first study suggests a combination of memory tests and brain imaging may identify the earliest stages of AD, before symptoms appear, when measures to slow the […]
A new study out on Autism suggests that gut health may play a major role. In this study conducted at Arizona State University they found that the gut bacteria of autistic children is “vastly different” than that of typical children, they tend to have fewer types and much more of […]

The class is titled: A Nutritional & Complementary Evidence-based Approach to Healthy Cognitive Functioning. It would be GREAT to see any of you again! In this class I will also be talking about a […]
