Yes.
Absolutely. But the results depend primarily on the Patient's cooperation. Important to engage close supporters, who could be family, friends, co- workers....as chosen by the patient. Non prescribed drugs and alcohol should be eliminated. A healthy lifestyle of good nutrition and exercise and socialization are important. Marilyn Benoit MD
