You Can Reverse Alzheimer's We are no longer at the mercy of our DNA. The recent discovery of epigenetics--the science of understanding how to control the expression of our own genes--has given us the exciting new power to make conscious choices that reprogram our genetic destiny. In Reversing Alzheimer's, Dr. Timothy Smith shows you how to apply this new science to improve cognition and reverse Alzheimer's disease. Now, whether you have a healthy, dementia-free brain is completely up to you. In Reversing Alzheimer's you will learn * How to enhance the brain's the ability to grow, heal, and adapt * Which foods, herbs, vitamins, and minerals nourish your brain * How intermittent fasting can dramatically lower your risk of dementia * Which fats destroy the brain and which heal it. Reversing Alzheimer's will empower you to turn on the epigenetic control of genes that prevent--and even reverse--Alzheimer's disease.

Anger - A blessing or a curse? Many of us struggle to maintain relationships, even though we are constantly striving to be accepted by the very people we love and respect. Our efforts often fail us and the very people we want to please. We attempt to change, we will promise to do better, and then we fail again. With each failure our anger increases, then we work to become more loving. When we fail yet again we become angry and may even encounter depression. This is the Anger/Love Cycle we find ourselves in while we strive to manage our anger. Anger management does not work because we are focusing on the symptom, our anger, and not addressing the cause.
