a BIG PHARM representive making money off innocent people  2007-06-12
I stopped reading the book after chapter 10 "drugs and supplements". Apparently the author has NO real understanding and NO clue how to improve the memory. He has read the research paper for sure but didn't NOT UNDERSTAND the meaning behind it. For example, he's promoting statin drugs for enhancing memory. OMG! we all know that statins deplete coQ10 level in your brain, as well as ALL steroid hormones/oil-soluble vitamins in your body! Every cell membrane in your body contains cholesterol, esp. BRAIN CELL! By depressing cholesterol , coQ10, vitE production, you're killing your brain. Ironically, he also listed coQ10 in his book as memory enhancer.
If you want to know which supplements can enhance your memory, I recommend Your Miracle Brain by Jean Carper. If you want to learn the technique in terms of how to memorize information, I recommend Quantum Memory Power: Learn to Improve Your Memory with the World Memory Champion! [AUDIOBOOK] [UNABRIDGED] (Audio CD) by Dominic O'Brien.
Stay away from the drugs! My regimen: PS 100mg/d, R-type alpha lipoic acid 100mg/bid, acetyl-L-Carnitine 500mg/bid, fish oil, 1 table spoon/d, B12 sublingual 1000mcg/d, B complex once/d, VitC 1.5 g/d, grape seed/skin exract: 60mg/tid. If you're older and have low energy, take American ginseng and royal jelly. also, exercise, exercise, exercise...

A surprisingly simple 14-day plan to keep memory alive 2005-10-07
How can brain function be improved to contribute to improved memory? Dr. Gary Small provides a surprisingly simple 14-day plan to keep memory alive in The Memory Prescription: Dr. Gary Small's 14-Day Plan To Keep Your Brain And Body Young. Try the questionnaire which helps you rate memory function, or try some of the mental exercises. There's plenty of room for changing and customizing Dr. Small's plan -- an important key to improving individual needs.
A Program to Help Mentally and Physically 2005-07-14
As you can see by the title, Dr. Small, Director of the UCLA Center on Aging, has developed a program of diet and exercise that he says will improve your memory significantly in a program as short as 14 days.
The exercises he prescribes include both physical and mental exercises. The physical are minimal, low impact, exercises that lead you to believe that this is intended for a somewhat older audience. The mental exercises are not unlike those on I.Q. tests where you do problems in math, complete sequences, and so on.
As you might expect, these exercises are intended to be maintained on a regular basis for the rest of your life, or at least as long as you want to remember things and keep your body alive.
As a doctor, he can't resist talking about the drugs that are available to assist the aging population. Some of these are more in the area of diet supplements, some are prescription only.
All in all, this is not unlike the programs advocated by many physicians, just a bit more about mental agility than most. It's a new book, and the information relating to the latest studies of the brain and the newest drugs is here.
Very Important reading 2004-10-03
I've read somewhere that there are more than one hundred billion
neurons in the human brain, and that they all can communicate with each other via one or more linkages. For any of you who feel like your brain isn't linking up lately, try reading "The Memory Prescription" by Dr.
Gary Small. After following the Doctor's prescription closely to the
letter for a couple of weeks (okay, my diet strayed a little) and doing
all his recommended exercises, I can honestly say I'm pretty impresssed
with the results. I can't promise you that every neuron of the one
hundred billion in your brain will be positively effected after reading
this book. But I can promise you that your memory, as mine did, will
undoubtedly improve."
"Neuron" info from "Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot" by Richard
Restak, which I also recommend.
