As a caregiver with two Alzheimer’s victims, I found the book to be a how to do little right and treat the patient like a mindless doll. I prefer a real world approach to AD not one from fantasy land.

I am so please to have yet another excellent resource to help battle this terrible disease – Alzheimer’s disease – why? Because we have an obesity epidemic as well as a diabetes epidemic.
Obesity, Diabetes, Heart Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease are strongly linked – we need to do all we can to reverse these diseases and books like the Learning to Speak Alzheimer’s are very important messages to help win the war against Alzheimer’s Disease. Recommend for nurses and doctors both.
Another excellent book I recommend is the two time Award Winning Book – THE APO E GENE DIET – An Integrative Medicine approach to Alzheimer’s disease, Heart Disease, and chronic illness – THE APO E GENE DIET – by Pamela McDonald NP.
Pamela McDonald is a Board Certified Nurse Practitioner – trained in disease prevention and an Integrative Medicine Fellow – trained at the University of Arizona Program in Integrative Medicine with Andrew Weil, MD.

I am having to deal with an 88-year old mom who not only has Alzheimers, but congestive heart failure and mild renal failure. I knew a moderate amount about Alzheimers before I bought the book. I was told to “Live in the Moment” “Don’t argue because you’ll never win”. The book was very helpful, but I haven’t finished it yet. I seldom have time now.
