If Only More Physicians Would Read This Book!:
As a physician specializing in Preventive Medicine for adults, I can highly recommend this book. This is an excellent and thoroughly researched review of brain function and pathology and the accessible treatments recommended by Dr. Perlmutter make sense physiologically in terms of really attempting to heal what appears to be going wrong in each disease or degenerative state. What is so tragic in medicine today is that so few physicians remember their basic science, or make any effort to remain real students of the human body. They just memorize a treatment protocol for each diagnosis, and try each medication as they are presented by the pharmaceutical companies, and that unfortunately, becomes the "standard of care" in the medical community. Most physicians get virtually no training in nutrition, and physiology and biochemistry are endured in the first year or two of medical school and forgotten. It is wonderful to see Dr Perlmutter bring this science back to the table in looking at the brain, and then to look first at healing the brain with the nutrients that it needs to repair itself and restore the natural neurochemical balance, bloodflow, conductivity and stability that it needs to function properly. It's a true genius who can write such a book so that a physician can read it and remember his or her important first years of medical school, and the interested and non-medical reader can also read it and comprehend enough to use this valuable reference to take better care of their own brain and learn how to help a loved one with a crippling mental or neurological disease. Highly recommended reading! www.stress-medicine.com

what to do with a slow brain.:
I have multiple sclerosis and Perlmutter is a doctor who seems to be interested in being proactive for treating MS. I am enjoying getting to know his work.

Loved the book. It was easy to read for non physicians and very informative. I can't wait for an updated version if he ever writes it.

Dr. Perlmutter calls his blog...:
...the "Renegade Neurologist" -- no doubt because he recognizes that there probably isn't a single neurologist practicing in the United States that would agree with anything he has to offer...for example, Dr. Perlmutter would have you believe that multiple sclerosis arises from some combination of chlamydia pneumoniae infection, candida infection, imbalance of gut bacteria, fatty acid deficiency, consumption of animal fats, antioxidant deficiency, and -- what appears to be his favorite factor -- inadequate "cellular energetics"...he offers a complete program of therapy at his clinic where he will gladly load a patient up with doxycycline, fluconazole, IV glutathione, coenzyme Q, primrose oil and assorted other supplements...and if you can't make it to Florida -- surprise, surprise -- he sells HIS own complete line of nutritional supplements (including HIS own "special formula" product called "Brainsustain") directly from his website...he also argues strongly for the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in MS and then -- I bet you already guessed this -- he invites prospective patients to HIS hyperbaric oxygen clinic in Florida...dealing with illness sometimes drives frustrated patients to "alternative" medicine -- aka "quackery" -- but the cold hearted facts make conventional medicine the rational choice...consult with your physician before pursuing any of Dr. Perlmutter's offerings.

Great book!:
Arrived on time and in great condition. I had this sent to my mother who has Parkinson's and she found it very helpful.
