2Dr. William Walsh, Mayo Clinic trained medical physician, discusses the many diseases caused by our diet including strokes, heart attacks, obesity, diabetes, migraines and the dementias. He suffers from one of these dementias, Alzheimer's disease and successfully reversed this dementia by avoiding or limiting foods and beverages that destroy nerves. These foods and beverages are, unfortunately, part of our daily diet.In his previous book, Retaining the Mind, Dr. Walsh identified these destructive foods and beverages. They contain damaging chemicals that he terms the aging chemicals because they cause the brain damage of the dementias and also cause the debilities associated with aging. And many other common diseases of the body. In this book, How I Recovered from Dementia, he explains simply how these foods and beverages destroy the brain. He also tells you what he eats and drinks, the foods and beverages he tolerates. They are restoring his ability to speak, think, plan and act (and write). They also shield him from a death that would have ended his life years ago. Yes, years ago. His continued living and writing show that other dementia sufferers can also understand dementia and can learn to reverse its lethal progression. He gently and simply guides the reader to the path he followed to save his life and regain the health of his mind and his body.
