In this groundbreaking book, Dr Hatherill, a leading toxicologist, brings to light the latest discoveries of how the brain works, and explains exactly what we can do to preserve the brain's vital functions. This new science looks closely at the blood-brain barrier -- literally the gateway to the brain, which determines what enters our brain and what doesn't. Dr Hatherill's research into toxic substances and nutritional elements shows that what gets into our brain affects emotions, intelligence, disease, and overall well-being far more than scientists ever believed possible. Stress, cancer-fighting drugs, common medications, even the elements in processed foods, all allow harmful toxins to cross over and enter our brain and cause disease. The book includes a comprehensive 'Six-Step Brain Purification Program', the only brain detox and nutrition plan that jump-starts optimum brain health. You will find the Top 10 substances that threaten the health of your brain, and learn what foods you can use to fight off such debilitating diseases as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Highly Recommended,

This review is from: The Brain Gate: The Little-Known Doorway That Lets Nutrients in and Keeps Toxic Agents Out (Hardcover)
This extremely informative book is a great resource for what you need to know about the health of your brain. It goes into quite a bit of detail without being too scientific for a layperson. The emphasis is on nutrition and the author gives a lot of specific examples of foods and supplements to prevent brain diseases and improve brain function. But it is also comprehensive on the effects of other environmental agents, such as pesticides, chemicals, even sleep deprivation and stress. Since I had a grandfather who suffered from dementia, I found the descriptions of Alzheimer's and dementia particularly interesting. But I think that anyone who has an interest in their health and their brain will want to read this book.

This review is from: The Brain Gate: The Little-Known Doorway That Lets Nutrients in and Keeps Toxic Agents Out (Hardcover)
Doctor J. Robert Hatherill has done an oustanding job with this book! As a health and school psychologist I have already started recommending this book to helping professionals and parents. This author goes beyond writing about the links between good nutrition and health. This is the only book I have read that also demonstrates the critical role of nutrition in the promotion of learning as well as health. I highly recommend this book!
