Summary

A scrupulous doctor's all-consuming search for the cure to her father's Alzheimer's, leads her to a discovery she did not expect. This is the sequel to Dr Helena's first autobiographical book In Search of My Father, about being thrown into caring for her estranged father after her mother dies. The reader is taken on an engaging journey through the diagnosis, treatment and ongoing challenges of a chameleonic disease with no simple cure. Despite the absence of effective medications, father and daughter are nonetheless able to find meaning, joy and tremendous hope. Alzheimer's is not the inevitably progressive disease that doctors previously believed it to be. The health of our brain is in our hands. Our brain is influenced by everything we do, think, eat and experience and it's never too late - or too early - to make positive life-affirming changes. The book provides a step-by-step guide to outwitting Alzheimer's and shows how education is more powerful than medication.
