Description
There are now more than four million Americans diagnosed with Alzheimer's and it's estimated that 14 million will have the disease by 2050. It's also an increasing problem world-wide. The good news is that everyone can make lifestyle changes to increase the odds that they will live well into old-age with their mental faculties intact. Dr. Devi's groundbreaking programme can help prevent the disease from developing and slow the memory loss of those already affected. By taking an active role in the management of the disease and through a combination of medication, natural hormone therapies, mental exercises, cognitive rehabilitation and nutritional and herbal supplements, it is possible to slow the effects of this debilitating condition and improve quality of life.
