520    A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in 2016 is startlingly 
       similar to a half-century ago. Despite decades of research
       and millions of dollars invested in uncovering the causes 
       and developing treatments for this devastating illness, 
       progress has been slow, with each new -blockbuster- drug 
       proving to be as big a disappointment as the ones that 
       went before it. Today, an Alzheimer's diagnosis is a death
       sentence.  However, there may be ways to prevent, delay, 
       and possibly even reverse the course of this crippling 
       neurodegenerative disease. In The Alzheimer's Antidote, 
       Certified Nutrition Specialist Amy Berger presents a multi
       -pronged nutrition and lifestyle intervention to combat 
       Alzheimer's disease at its roots. Berger's research shows 
       that Alzheimer's results from a fuel shortage in the brain
       : As neurons become unable to harness energy from glucose,
       they atrophy and die, leading to classic symptoms like 
       memory loss and behavioral changes.  This is a 
       revolutionary approach--one that has been discussed in the
       scientific literature for years but has only recently been
       given credence in clinical settings, thanks to extremely 
       promising studies wherein Alzheimer's patients have 
       experienced complete reversals of the condition. Medical 
       and scientific journals are full of research showing 
       alternate ways to fuel the starving brain, but no one has 
       been bringing this essential information to the people who
       need it most--until now.
