Mr. Scoggan was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the age of 70, one doctor saying early stage, and another saying more advanced. In total he saw four Neurologists. After several years it was recommended that his wife begin to get their affairs in order and start looking for a nursing home. After “prayerful research” into their nutrition and eating habits, Nita eliminated starchy carbs from Bill’s diet and added specific supplements. She realized their daily vitamin was was not covering a fraction of the nutrients they needed for brain health.
In this four part video, Bill and Nita discuss studies done primarily in Europe which showed people in advanced stages of Alzheimer’s appearing to recover through supplementation with a single supplement, Phosphatydyl Serine. Mrs. Scoggin started a protocol with a minimum of 300 – 500 mg daily, and saw a noticeable improvement early in the second month. During this time, Bill started actively communicating with Nita, getting the bowls down from the cabinet for breakfast, and generally improving in social interaction. Nita reports that during this time she took Bill to visit his doctors, who also recognized the improvements.
According to her website, Bill continued to improve until 2005, when he was released from the care of his Neurologist.
If you are researching this topic:
This video mentions: Vitamin C, Vitamin B, Omega 3, Phosphatydyl Serine, Co Q ten, l-carnative, high-dose vitamin D, liquid B-12
Dietary changes: Whole grain bread, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, reduction of starchy foods, fish a couple of times a week, beef, chicken and eggs, removal of processed cheese due to aluminum content.
…….
Phosphatydyl Serine was originally distilled from bovine brain, but the more commercially available product is made from soybeans. There is debate over the efficacy of animal based products verses products derived from soybeans.
The wiki article on Phosphatydyl Serine quotes a 2003 FDA report which says that the information to support a relationship between PS and a reduced risk of dementia is, “very limited and preliminary.” However the FDA did give a “qualified health claim status to PS”, saying that it may reduce the risk of dementia or cognitive disfunction in the elderly. Please see the wiki article for more detail and source info for the FDA report.

I had lunch with Nita and Bill last week here in Texas. What a pleasure it was to finally meet them in person. They are such a warm, friendly and engaging couple. And…how amazing it was to converse with Bill about their lives during their years in the Pentagon and now in Indiana. He is very sharp and is quite normal in conversation. It is true folks, Bill is truly and fully healed of Alzheimer’s. And, for those who may remain skeptical that he ever actually had Alzheimer’s, Nita still retains the medical reports from the neurologists in Washington D.C. who issued the original diagnosis of Alzheimer’s.
Tim – I hope they know that their testimony is hugely encouraging to people dealing with cognitive impairment and other illnesses that have been deemed “irreversible.” I have been following Nita’s dietary and supplemental recommendations from the day I saw the video.
Thanks for the note.

Hi Cristina – it looks like their site has been taken down. I have no idea why, sorry. The videos are still up on youtube and there are several other sites that go into more detail than I did. Search for “Bill and Nita Scoggan”. Good luck!

Can anyone report how Bill is doing these days. I have read where taking Phosphatydyle Serine only has short term benefits. Is this true?
I have not been able to find any updates on them, and the website(s) i was linking to for Nita are no longer operational.
The post above yours says that he is now deceased
