My book titled "Alzheimer's Unmasked" is the culmination of over 7
years of self-funded, full-time research that started in 1998. The
initial goal was to identify what causes the neurodegenerative
disease known as Alzheimer's dementia. What advances this disease
from mild cognitive impairment, to moderate cognitive impairment,
and finally to the end stage of severe cognitive impairment, which
terminates in death. Alzheimer's dementia completely destroyed my
mother's cognitive functions over a 10 year period of time. She
died in May of 1999. My research was unproductive until this
disease started to affect me. Using a 3 year process of elimination
diet and testing on myself, I was able to isolate what caused my
Cognitive impairment. It took a couple more years of research
before I was able to understand the mechanisms involved. Trace
minerals, by themselves will not reverse Alzheimer's, but, I have
found that by using them in conjunction with a restricted diet that
removes certain chemicals in the foods I eat, I have completely
restored my cognitive functions back to normal. If you are looking
for answers as to what causes this Alzheimer's disease and what to
do about it, you will want to read "Alzheimer's Unmasked."

This is a book by and about military research
psychologists-behavioral scientists who apply the principles and
methods of psychology toward the goal of understanding and
improving human health and performance in our defense forces. This
group of specialists, along with their counterparts in the Army's
sister Services and the many civilian research psychologists
throughout the Department of Defense (DOD), forms a critical and
essential core asset for our current and future national security.
Since World War II, we have relied increasingly on research
psychologists within DOD to design better and more efficient
selection and classification tools and strategies, more effective
training programs for military personnel, and improved leader
development programs. In addition, these specialists have applied
rigorous research methods to understanding the limits and
capacities of human mental and physical performance in a range of
demanding operational environments. Their work has provided much of
the knowledge that has allowed senior national security leaders to
design systems and policies that appreciate and capitalize on our
human talent, rather than ignore or frustrate it. Some of this
research relies upon the use of animal models, an approach that has
proven essential for understanding and developing treatments for
chemical defense, stress, and traumatic brain injuries. More
recently, military research psychologists have applied their
expertise to understanding the causes and cures of stress-related
injuries in troops, such as post-traumatic stress disorder,
traumatic brain injury, drug and alcohol problems, and even
suicide. This work being done by research psychologists not only
helps with operational effectiveness, but it also helps the
individuals who are put under great stress during military
operations to cope with that pressure; it can save lives and
enhance well-being. Military research psychologists are responsible
for significant advances in understanding human resilience and
hardiness under stress, knowledge that is being applied in the
design of more effective training and prevention programs. As the
military operations that we are engaged in as a nation and as
allies grow in complexity, understanding the human dimension is
more essential than ever. No matter how good our technologies may
be, technology alone will not win the day in the challenges before
us. It is the quality, strength, intelligence, and morality of our
human systems that ultimately will allow us to realize the shared
goal of a world in which security and prosperity are the normal
state for all inhabitants. The contributions of research
psychologists such as those in this volume are critical for moving
us toward that goal.

"Dr. Barton's book will provide an arena for significant dialogue
among scholars, as well as between Catholics and Protestants, on
the nature and significance of Hispanic Protestantism in the United
States.... There is no question that this book is a significant
contribution to the field. Indeed, there is no other book like it."
-- Justo L. Gonza lez, author of the highly praised volumes The
Story of Christianity and History of Christian Thought and other
major works
The question of how one can be both Hispanic and Protestant has
perplexed Mexican Americans in Texas ever since Anglo-American
Protestants began converting their Mexican Catholic neighbors early
in the nineteenth century. Mexican-American Protestants have faced
the double challenge of being a religious minority within the
larger Mexican-American community and a cultural minority within
their Protestant denominations. As they have negotiated and sought
to reconcile these two worlds over nearly two centuries, los
Protestantes have melded Anglo-American Protestantism with
Mexican-American culture to create a truly indigenous, authentic,
and empowering faith tradition in the Mexican-American
community.
This book presents the first comparative history of Hispanic
Methodists, Presbyterians, and Baptists in Texas. Covering a broad
sweep from the 1830s to the 1990s, Paul Barton examines how
Mexican-American Protestant identities have formed and evolved as
los Protestantes interacted with their two very different
communities in the barrio and in the Protestant church. He looks at
historical trends and events that affected Mexican-American
Protestant identity at different periods and discusses why and how
shifts inlos Protestantes' sense of identity occurred. His research
highlights the fact that while Protestantism has traditionally
served to assimilate Mexican Americans into the dominant U.S.
society, it has also been transformed into a vehicle for expressing
and transmitting Hispanic culture and heritage by its
Mexican-American adherents.
