Abstract

Much is yet to be discovered about the precise biological changes that cause Alzheimer's, disease, why it progresses more quickly in some than in others, and how the disease can be prevented, slowed, or stopped. And while researchers continue to search for the magic pill that can prevent or halt the spread of amyloid in the brain, our authors believe that changing or modifying one's lifestyle and attitude can make a difference in both prevention and treatment.
