Is Omega 3 And B12 Advised For Patients With Cerebral Dengenration?

My mom is 71. She is in hospital and they diagnosed cerebral degeneration. She is quickly declining. Several weeks ago she suffered 2 grand mal seizures and this started the rapid decline. We were able to restore basic function and strength to get her home. She fell again. They have her on statins, kreppa, and now synthesis - prescribing to treat symptoms. I would like to recommend b12 and omega 3 I m a nutritionist so I prefer not to watch decline but so something. Am I being realistic about benefits?

Hello
I agree to give her the omega 3 and B12 supplements but I'm afraid it may not make much difference with her condition at this point.

Physical and cognitive therapies may also help
