World Renowned Doctor to Lead Free 12-Part Lecture Series Every Tuesday, July - September in Arcadia

July 5, 2011 - PRLog -- In an effort to educate and arm the public in the fight against some of the most devastating diseases plaguing society today, The Fortanasce Neurology Center is presenting a 12-part lecture series,  “A Wealth of Health for the Mind, Body and Soul,” exploring methods to stop Alzheimer’s in its tracks.  Vincent M. Fortanasce, M.D., a physician, professor, best-selling author and former Olympian who has dedicated his life to putting an end to Alzheimer’s, will share the tenets of his proprietary D.E.A.R. method — a science-proven approach that helps prevent or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.  The most eminent medical doctors from the likes of Yale, Princeton, the Mayo Clinic and Stanford University will join him in the series and will speak extensively on such subjects as treating memory loss, joint and spine problems, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, preventing chronic pain and the latest advancements in treating cancer.  

The lectures are free and will run every Tuesday from July 5- Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. at 665 West Naomi Ave., Suite No. 201 in Arcadia.  For more details, call (626) 445-8481.
