Synopsis

Studies have shown that the upregulation of T cells helps slow down the rate of progression of motor neuron disease so what should we eat to increase this type of immune cell? What nutrients are particularly beneficial for brain health?. Coffee has been shown to slow down the rate of progression but why? People who tend to engage in heavy exercise are at a higher risk of being diagnosed with MND. What are some of the underlying processes at work here? Can axons regenerate once damaged or is the damage irreversible? Which common medications can produce ALS type symptoms. The answers to these and many more questions are answered using the latest research and draw on a number of disciplines. While the book particularly focuses on motor neuron disease, it provides lots of useful information which can be applied to most neurodegenerative conditions including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and the dementias.
