She is the author of 24 books, including the award-winning “Stop Aging Now!” Her latest book is “100 Simple Things You Can Do to Prevent Alzheimer’s and Age-Related Memory Loss.”And on that same theme, she has directed a documentary entitled “Monster in the Mind,”which Ralph called “A brilliant deconstruction of the Alzheimer’s myth.”
“The surprising fact that has only come out in the last few years is that dementia among elderly people in affluent countries around the world has been dropping precipitously. There’s a recent analysis by the Framingham Heart Study that found that the incidence of dementia is going down at 20% per decade.”

“Basically what we have is a business model by Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, that is fundamentally relying on serf labor… then the other part of the business model is high-priced iPhones… and the third leg of this three-legged stool is massive use of profits to buy back Apple’s stock.”
