After being told there was no hope for Bill who was diagnosed with an advanced stage of Alzheimer’s, Nita used the research analyst skills she obtained while working at the Pentagon for many years to do some investigating of her own. In Part 2, we get into the nitty gritty of what Nita uncovered in the research studies about treating Alzheimer’s nutritionally through the right kinds of foods and supplementation.
