Dr. Tedde M Rinker: Recommend readingThe Brain Wellness Plan

While this book may be a bit loaded with biochemistry for the tastes of the average reader, it is an excellent book if you want to understand how the brain works best and what kinds of supplements, vitamins and nutients will help keep it functioning well. It is a good review for anyone in the medical field too, especially those wanting to provide a balanced integrative health approach to their family or general practice.The most important point is preventing degeneration of brain function over time, and while it will appear complex at first, attempting to understand and apply it could save your brain and keep you out of a long term care facility in the future.

Well-researched

Dr. Lombard, a neurologist, and Carl Germano, a nutritionist,have done an excellent job at explaining how nutrition and supplementscan influence the course of common neurological and psychiatric conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. I enjoyed reading their chapter on the brain-immune connection. There's a lot of good information here. I highly recommend this book although I may not agree with all of their supplement and dosage recommendations. You may also consider reading my book Mind Boosters which provides a different emphasis and explains how to use natural supplements to improve memory, mood, productivity, vision, libido, and mental performance.

The brain wellness plain

The generative diseases (in this case neurological diseases), from parkinson, to altzheimr, a.l.s, and others like c.f.s are coverd in that book with the latest medical, and the nutritional (plus supllements) views. The authors are both doctors. one of them is a neurologist and the other is a docter and a clinical nutritionist, that both with their simple yet complex explanations put a remarkable views of healling about the degenerative diseases and shows the benfit of the long term healling with nutrition and supllemnts. the roots of the diseases are discused very interstingly and it is a very informative book. i do have one comment about that book: that they givven amount of vitamin C in those specific diseases (degenerative neurological diseases), should be much higher, but beside of that it's the best natural book that dealing in one copy on the brain wellness plain against degenerative diseases. i know what i'm saying because i'm dealing with those diseases with my patients.

Must Reading for anyone with Neurodegenerative Disease!

Treating and preventing neurodegenerative diseases is difficult, but as a practicing clinician, I know that optimal nutrition can make an enormous positive difference in the course of the disease. This is an excellent book, and is must reading for anyone with ALS, MS, Alzheimer's or Parkinson's Disease. It is also an excellent book for those who want to maximize their brain wellness with optimal nutrition. Congratulations, Jay and Carl, on a superb contribution to the field! Robert Crayhon

Depression, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's Disease, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are the diseases the authors tackle in this trend-setting book. The latest in nutritional and immune-boosting therapies in a concise and well organized format. Considering the millions affected by these diseases and the lack of consistent treatment in the medical community, this book truly offers a complete plan.
