In my book, "Beating the Dementia Monster," I describe what has occurred since 2015 when I first knew I had memory problems. (You can find it on Amazon.com.) I have experienced remarkable improvement, and I’m certain that I can share valuable information with many others. In this second edition I continue my story to 2020 and provide greater understanding of how Alzheimer's advances and why what I did worked.

News on Traumatic Brain Injury
I saw this article in this weeks issue of ALZFORUM. It cited two important recent studies of large populations that correlated traumatic brain injury (TBI) with the advent of dementia. (A TBI may be a concussion or result in a coma.) One notable finding was that a single TBI may increase the probability of the later onset of dementia by 22%. The study with this finding did not determine whether the dementia was due to Alzheimer's disease or something else.
