Publisher's Synopsis
- Established Author Platform: Dr. Newport is a leader in her field and a tireless promoter, traveling often to give presentations nationally and internationally. She also has a robust digital presence, giving many virtual presentations and interviews.
- Major Need: There is a prevalent misconception that nothing can prevent or help treat Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. The National Institutes of Health, the National Institutes on Aging, and the Alzheimer's Association have identified a number of modifiable risk factors that appear to account for at least 30 percent of dementia cases. In the latest edition of Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure?, Dr. Newport provides the most recent research on possible causes of Alzheimer's due to the herpes simplex virus and nitrosamine substances and how infection, inflammation and genetic makeup may affect an individual's response to fatty acid therapy.
- Fully Updated and Expanded: In this third edition, Dr. Newport covers the recent advances in imaging technologies, which have made it possible to detect subtle changes in the brain a decade or more before a person develops obvious symptoms, giving at-risk individuals the opportunity to take preventive measures. While the cause of Alzheimer's disease is not known, Dr. Newport's research offers a message of hope and shows how adopting certain lifestyle changes could prevent, delay, or otherwise alter the course of the disease.
