From decision making, to learning new things, to communicating with others, the brain functions as the central role in our daily lives. When our brain gets sick, we start to forget things and become frequently confused even in simple day to day stuffs. At its worst, it could hamper us to communicate properly. As this problem persists or aggravates, we lost our self-esteem and the disease takes away our life. It makes us feel incompetent and we start to fear for the day when we would become a scum of the world, be unable to do anything by ourselves or even end up as a helpless parasite who feeds on our love ones' expenses.
Not being diagnosed with Alzheimer's or any other neurodegenerative disease doesn't mean that your brain is okay. In fact if you have poor memory, or just plain forgetful, it could be a sign that your brain has been slowly deteriorating. Having history of heart issues or breathing problems adds more to the risk of developing a neurodegenerative disease in a near future.
If you are one having brain problems (confusion, forgetfulness, incompetence) and want to find ways to improve your condition or a person with Alzheimer's or neurodegenerative disease, but have exhausted conventional treatment or just someone who wanted to try an alternative approach to improve your mental deterioration. Then this book might probably be something worth investing.
