Amazon.com Review

You stare at the person you met an hour ago, but her name eludes you. You exit the shopping mall and have no idea where you parked your car. You can sing a song that was popular when you were a teenager, but you can't remember the book you read last week. If you're suffering from the effects of age-associated memory impairment (AAMI), you're in a crowd of millions. By age 79, memory of written material declines 43 percent, and memory of names one hour after introduction declines 74 percent. But according to The Memory Cure, phosphatidylserine (PS), a soy-based nutritional supplement, has been scientifically proven to help people recapture their slipping memories.

The Memory Cure tells everything you ever wanted to know about memory, making scientific information lucid and accessible. Memory expert Thomas Crook and health researcher-writer Brenda Adderly discuss the different types of memory, why we forget, and how PS works to invigorate memory. The authors present a six-step "memory cure" plan, plus a variety of memory-enhancing tips, techniques, and games. They discuss lifestyle choices that can affect memory, such as foods, supplements, exercise, and stress management. Get this book before you forget that you read this! --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Generally a disappointment, September 8, 2000

This review is from: The Memory Cure : The Safe, Scientifically Proven Breakthrough That Can Slow, Halt, or Even Reverse Age-Related Memory (Hardcover)

Perhaps I had expected too much. My wife is confined to a nursing home with a rare parkinson type disease and I was hoping this book might help.

Instead of helping, the knowledge from books read earlier made me notice the many errors in this book - caused, I believe, by trying to make the book more readable. It also made it less accurate.

There are few miracles - PS is not one of them. If it were it would be in universal use.

A much better book, in my estimation, is "Mind Boosters" by Ray Sahelian, M.D.

This book is a good read. It lists many ways for people to improve their memory, and it discusses the impact that nutrition, health supplements and mental exercises have on our memory. The writers use language that is easily understood, even if you aren't a doctor.

This book is packed with information about memory loss. I feel so much better now that I know how to reverse my memory loss.
