Description
I wrote and published “A User’s Guide to a Healthy Brain” to share what I had learned trying to understand, possibly cure, my cognitive problems.
I was lucky. My timing couldn’t have been better. For hundreds of years the neuroscience community had an understanding of the human brain that was wrong. But that understanding produced myths about the brain that influenced who we were and what we could do.
Then in the 1990’s new technology and sophisticate research turned their understanding of the human brain upside down and gave me the opportunity to reverse my cognitive problems.
I’m not an M.D. or a Ph.D. I’m just a lay person that had serious memory problems and lost my ability to talk. Both important cognitive functions. My only option was to begin studying the brain and brain function. I learned that I had been taking my brain for granted and it had gotten less and less healthy as I aged. I gave my brain a name, “Henry” and I set out to make him better. I learned that “Henry” and I were partners and if I took care of “Henry” he would take care of me. And it worked. I not only cured my cognitive problems I expanded my cognitive abilities.
“A User’s Guide to a Healthy Brain” describes in an easy to read way what’s necessary to regain and maintain a healthy, effectively functioning brain. It’s an excellent reference particularly when it comes to foods and eating. I first had to understand what having an unhealthy brain actually meant. Then I had to understand and do those things that would bring my brain back to good health so that it could function effectively. I wrote “A User’s Guide to a Healthy Brain” in hopes that it would help my reader’s as well.
In writing “A User’s Guide to a Healthy Brain” I recognized that my readers have no interest in becoming M.D.’s or Ph.D.’s. All they want is to understand how their brain functions and what they can do to keep it functioning effectively, particularly their cognitive functions.
