This is a book about living with Alzheimer's, not dying with it. It is a book about hope, faith, and humor--a prescription far more powerful than the conventional medication available today to fight this disease. Alzheimer's is the sixth leading cause of death in the US--and the only one of these diseases on the rise.More than 5 million Americans have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's or a related dementia; about 35 million people worldwide.
