Alzheimer's Disease: Forget Antioxidants & Supplements is a
book presenting the scientific facts regarding the failure of these
agents to prevent or reverse this disease. As our life spans
increase, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is fast becoming a terrifying
scourge for mankind, as it robs its victims of their memories and
families of their finances. There are about 28 drugs in development
for treating Alzheimer's but there are no promises of a pending
success at hand. Painfully, I watched my dear mother succumb to
this dreaded disease and hope that my in depth research into oxygen
metabolism will offer opportunity for future research
breakthroughs. Supplement manufacturers frequently mislead
consumers with high-pressure advertisements, designed to create a
feeling of guilt when family members do not resort to the use of
one of their so called "memory miracle" pills. Overall,
antioxidants and supplements have been disappointments and
failures. Even though none of the current AD drugs have proved
effective over the long haul, they are prescribed to 25% of those
diagnosed with AD. The cost of care for AD patients is predicted to
"break the Medicare bank." Vaccines have also been failures. To be
perfectly candid, we do know what causes AD and do not know how to
prevent or treat it. That is the truth but research still offers
hope. We must fight to have increased funding for Alzheimer's
research. In the interim, we must require and demand respectful and
qualified care for all Alzheimer's patients. About 5.3 million
(figures vary) Americans currently have AD and a new case is
diagnosed every 70 seconds. The word "victim" seems overused in
today's media but it is truly appropriate for those suffering from
the tragedy called Alzheimer's disease (AD). We can and we must do
better. Read my book for clues to the future of AD.
