520    "A guide to herbal and holistic medicine for brain health 
       and neurologic disorders Provides detailed herbal, 
       antioxidant, and nutritional strategies for Alzheimer's, 
       Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, stroke, migraine, and 
       seizures [bullet] Supported by scientific studies and 
       years of successful clinical practice Discusses potential 
       side effects, counter-indications, and the proper dosages 
       to reduce symptoms, slow disease progression, and lessen 
       the chances of recurrence Numerous medical journals have 
       published studies supporting the use of herbs and 
       nutrients in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.
       Yet in practice most neurologists rarely include them as 
       part of their protocols. In this practical guide, Sidney 
       Kurn, M.D., and Sheryl Shook, Ph. D., explain how to 
       safely and easily incorporate herbs, antioxidants, and 
       nutritional supplements into the standard conventional 
       treatments for 6 common neurologic disorders: Alzheimer's,
       Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis, stroke, migraine, and 
       seizures. For each condition, the authors provide detailed
       strategies supported by scientific evidence and years of 
       successful clinical practice. They examine the biochemical
       role of each recommended herb, nutrient, or antioxidant 
       and discuss potential side effects, counter-indications, 
       and proper dosages to reduce symptoms, slow disease 
       progression, and--in the case of stroke, migraine, and 
       seizures--lessen the chances of recurrence. The authors 
       explore the nutrient deficiencies and physiological 
       mechanisms, including inflammation, heavy metal toxicity, 
       and mitochondrial dysfunction, that can cause oxidative 
       injuries and initiate neurologic disorders. They reveal 
       which common substances, such as aspartame and glutamate, 
       can trigger these mechanisms at the cellular level and 
       recommend specific herbs and antioxidants, such as 
       turmeric, cannabinoids, resveratrol, and N-acetyl cysteine,
       to counteract their effects. They discuss the importance 
       of sleep to overall well-being, especially for those 
       suffering from neurologic disorders, and offer tips to 
       help ensure a good night's sleep. Integrating neuroscience,
       biochemistry, herbalism, and decades of clinical 
       experience, the authors lay the scientific foundation for 
       a holistic, naturopathic approach to neurologic disorders 
       and a way to enhance the quality of life for those 
       suffering from these conditions"--|cProvided by publisher.
