A deadly neurological malady characterized by progressive and irreparable shrinking of brain tissue, Alzheimer's disease causes declines in memory, social abilities, and communication skills that accelerate aging and eventually lead to death. Conventional medicine has failed to develop treatments for this terrifying disease. No drug or proprietary medicine has been shown to be effective. In this groundbreaking book, leading integrative psychiatrist Dr. James M. Greenblatt reveals that hope has come from new research showing the answer lies with an integrative approach, of which nutrition is a key factor. The key lies in low-dose nutritional lithium, a naturally occurring mineral with a long and well-documented history of restoring brain and nervous system function at the molecular level. Integrative Medicine for Alzheimer's presents this simple and effective approach to the prevention and treatment of dementia, delivering a wealth of scientific support for the clinical use of nutritional lithium, including: ■ Insight into the causes of Alzheimer's disease ■ New information about nutritional lithium and its clinical use in the prevention Alzheimer's disease ■ Research showing how antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients support brain health ■ A roadmap for you and your doctor to build an integrative treatment plan to preserve healthy brain functio
