At 67, Benjamin was 決定するd to fight off the debilitating neurological 条件 and she sought the help of Alzheimer's 専門家 and?国祭的な 認めるd neurologist Dr Dale Bredesen.
The doctor has long believed that Alzheimer's is not only reversible,?but preventable.
Benjamin got in touch just as Dr?Bredesen was looking for a 候補者 to 実験（する） his 議定書. So, he 工夫するd a 治療 計画（する） for her.
Instead of flooding a 患者 with 麻薬s typically used to manage Alzheimer's, which can come with unpleasant 味方する-影響s, Dr Bredesen takes a more tailored, holistic approach.

It took just over a year, she says, to fully 逆転する her symptoms of the 進歩／革新的な brain disorder.?
にもかかわらず Dr Bredesen's （人命などを）奪う，主張するs, the Alzheimer's Society 公式文書，認めるs that 'to date, there have been no clinically 実証するd systems, 医薬s or lifestyle changes proven to 逆転する Alzheimer's 病気'.?
It 追加するs, '[Dr] Bredesen's （人命などを）奪う，主張するs 簡単に aren't 支援するd by science. His 研究 is 限られた／立憲的な, with papers that 株 anecdotal stories from ten to 100 people.?
'A larger 見本 size, replication of his 議定書 and more peer review are 必須の to 決定する if his （人命などを）奪う，主張するs are valid. Anecdotes alone are not enough 証拠 for a （人命などを）奪う，主張する of this size.'
While some 専門家s need その上の 証拠 that Dr Bredesen's methods work, Benjamin （人命などを）奪う，主張するs she is proof that they do.?

国会s high in 確かな nutrients, like omega-3 fatty 酸性のs 設立する in?fish and flaxseed and ant ioxidants, and those 設立する in many fruits, vegetables and other 工場／植物-based foods, are associated with better cognitive 機能（する）／行事 and a lower 危険 of dementia.
More than a １０年間 on from her diagnosis, Benjamin （人命などを）奪う，主張するs she has fully 逆転するd her Alzheimer's and, in a 企て，努力，提案 to raise 認識／意識性 around her 回復, she is walking 3,000 miles across America. Here she is reaching her first 1,000-mile 的

Off the 支援する of these findings, Benjamin was advised to embrace a nutrient-rich diet, packed with 有機の, sugar-解放する／自由な and 非，不，無-過程d foods.
'No sugar. No junk. No 悔いるs. Just real food, real nutrients, and real results,' she explains.

To solve the problem, Benjamin had the mold professionally 除去するd from her home.??
