Steven,

I purchased a copy of 'Change your brain, change your life' by Dr. Daniel Amen after watching a PBS program on Brain plasticity(I think it's featured during a local station fund-raising special).  There's also a series narrated by Alan Alda <http://www.pbs.org/saf/1101/index.html>.

You've probably heard of 'epigenetics' by now.  My breast cancer support group website has just listed a new drug combo aiming at disrupting the epigenetic activity (fueled by sugar/energy - thus the well-known Metaformin effect) It's in Phase III trial now, so we are getting closer everyday.

Glad the book you mentioned is helpful.  Thanks for sharing.
