The "What Is Alzheimer's" Index
Sometimes it's hard to even know what Alzheimer's really is. So below you will find a listing of information I hope will be useful.
Please feel free to take anything you feel might be helpful to you. Simply print it out or copy it to your hard drive or disk.
By the way... This is a pretty extensive directory with lots of choices to read. So...to make it easier for you, I've now given you two options. You can either go through the directories at your leisure OR you can use this quick pull down menu.
To use the menu...click the arrow, select the title of your choice and hit "Go".
