Alzheimers: Prevention is the cure

In his new book, Patrick Holford explains why Alzheimer’s is a preventable disease.

Less than 1% of cases are caused by genes.

We already know how to prevent at least 8 out of 10 cases and cut your risk by at least 80% if not completely for the vast majority of people. Later in life you may lose your hair but you never need to lose your memories.

This book explains how.

• Learn  the truth about amyloid and p-tau, the targets for ineffective drugs.
• Discover which genes do cause Alzheimer’s, which predict increased risk and how to eliminate that risk.
• Understand why Alzheimer’s will not be solved by a drug since it is not caused by one thing but a combination of factors, different for each person, that create the ‘perfect storm’ that leads to brain degeneration and cognitive decline.
• Explore how to assess your weakest links that drive future risk.
• Unlock exactly how to dementia-proof your diet and lifestyle.
