The Hormone Decision or Alzheimers

The Hormone Decision

Author: Tara Parker Pop

Do you have questions about menopause and the use of hormones?
The generation of women approaching or entering menopause today has heard more on the subject than any previous generation. First hormones were good. Then suddenly they were bad. Now they don't seem to be in the news much at all. But for the woman realizing that her body is starting to change, all these conflicting reports can be frightening. The truth is that every woman is different, and no one answer is correct for everybody.
Tara Parker-Pope, who has written about health for both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, details all the latest research on menopause in a clear, easy-to-read style that makes it possible for you to:

• understand the research
• ask intelligent questions
• choose whether or not hormone therapy is right for you.

Alzheimer's: Medical Science and Families Are Still Asking Why?

Author: James R Greenwood

In Alzheimer's: Medical science and families are still asking WHY? Author Jim Greenwood has documented his experiences in caring for his beloved wife, Maxine, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 74 in 1990. This is the true story of a beautiful, gracious lady and how her husband coped with her disease. It is also a tender tale of the love, faith, and devotion between two people whose dreams of sharing their twilight years together in peace and comfort were suddenly shattered by a twist of fate.

This dramatic nonfiction work includes humorous anecdotes of happier times as well as a look at the ongoing search for answers to that elusive question of WHY? Fast-paced and easy to read, this book can be a helpful guide for anyone facing similar challenges in his or her own life. It also describes what to consider in choosing the right care home for a loved one with advanced dementia. Greenwood was at Maxine's side when her long struggle with Alzheimer's ended early in the morning of August 27, 2003. "And in the not-too-distant future in the Columberium niche next to hers," concludes the author in his epilogue, "I will be reunited with my precious forevermore, just as it was meant to be."
