Natural Brain Support. Your Guide to Preventing and Treating Alzheimer's, Dementia and Other Related Diseases Naturally Natural Brain Support offers a comprehensive natural self-help approach to preserving healthy brain function for those suffering from or at risk of Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. The book describes underlying and/or contributing causes of brain disease that need to be addressed. Within its pages you will discover peer-reviewed researched essential nutrients, diet and exercises for brain health, natural brain repair, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, essential oil modalities and nutrient deficiencies that can mimic symptoms of Alzheimer's and dementia. The brain is connected to the health of the whole body, so when one looks at brain health, we also have to look at many other variables that contribute both to its healthy function as well as its decline. Medications may help in the short-term, but single solutions are not going to bring overall positive results without evaluating the complex relationship of the whole body to the brain at which this book attempts to look.

There has been considerable increase in the knowledge concern ing tear secretion, the ocular surface, and pathophysiologic con ditions leading to the dry eye. Much of this new knowledge is not widely appreciated.

This textbook is designed to give the ophthalmic practitioner a comprehensive, yet concise, guide line concerning the diagnosis and treatment of the dry eye.
