At best, this book is a guide to coping with AD for patients and loved ones who have resigned themselves to allowing the disease to take its course. It contends there is no link between nutrition and AD and makes no reference whatsoever to the role of silver (52% mercury) dental fillings in AD. Those favoring a more spirited approach may want to read Beating Alzheimer’s by Tom Warren.

The print is too small! I ordered this book, sight unseen, for my elderly sister, who is the care-giver for her blind, Alzheimer-ish husband. Who would have thought that the publishers would have selected an inappropriate font size? Carol Clivio

I guess I should have been clued in by the phrase “a family guide” in the title but many other resources I have dealt with use the term “family” caregivers to differentiate from professional caregivers.
As the only living relative to take gave of my dad, this book was totally useless for me. It assumes you have other family helping to support and share caregiving duties with you.
Even if I had other family I would not recommend this book.
I do not understand why it is the most recommended Alzheimer’s guide.
The information is more superficial than that readily available on Alz.org and other free websites.

I can see how this book would be helpful for some, but to me it was filled with a lot of common sense. If you know nothing at all about dementia, it could be of assistance, but I wasn’t wowed by this book at all. If you feel that you are lost and have no idea what to do, you may benefit from this book, but I didn’t really benefit that much.
