My daughter insisted I give coconut oil to my husband, her father. After one dose the change in him was miraculous. He asked me if I noticed he was talking more. He didn't know what the coconut oil was for or why I gave it to him.
He had gotten to the point he just sat, didin't notice what was going on around him and didn't talk much at all. Now he talks until I want to say hush. He is much more alelrt. It has just made a world of difference for him. I know if it worked for everyone there would be more about iti in the news. But it worked for him. It is worty a try as it isn't harmful and isn't espensive. I would love to hear if anyone else has tried this and had the same results we did.
Here's a link that may be of some interest.

My doctor was all for using it. It is a saturated fat, but your body assimilates it differently then the other saturated fats. A recipe, in the book, which optimizes the benefits and liquifies the hard oil is in the book. It is: 12oz pure coldpressed virgin coconut oil ( you can melt it by placing container in warm water) and 16 oz of NOW MCT oil it is 100% pure made out of the coconut oil and the ketones worked faster and with hard pack coconut oil, extends the affects. You mix this and put in a bottle . 1 tablespoon three times a day with meals or however you decide to administer it. Also buttering sandwich with coco oil counts as a dose.
You can use it for cooking!! It's good for you too!! Thank you for jump starting me again!!!
My mother lives in a remote area, so three years ago I ordered/shipped some from an organic source online.
I live far away, but I could hear the difference in our phone conversations. She was having a much easier time with words, names and places. She was doing well when she decided it upset her stomach and stopped. Her decline since then has been heartbreaking.
When I recommended it to her, I was putting it in my own coffee - with cream to mask the ickiness. Now I take a big chug from the jar every night before bedtime. It's gross and it does upset my tummy but I feel a noticeable difference in my own clarity. (I'm a freelance writer - if I'm not sharp I can't pay the mortgage.)
My grandmother died of dementia, my mother is already 'gone' and I figure I'm next.
Dr. Andrew Weil says there is no reason to NOT try coconut oil. We don't hear about it because nobody gets rich from natural solutions.
Also please check out Dr. David Perlmutter, author of Grain Brain. He's here in Florida. I have zero doubt that there is a connection between grain, sugar and Alzheimer's/dementia. My mother was the reigning Queen of Sugar and Baked Goods. I used to get sick every time I went up for a visit. I blogged about it here - with before and after pictures.
Prayers and hugs for all of us.
I watch Dr. Richard Becker's of Bioinnovations net program on familynet and he's really good also. I've seen Dr. Perlmutter on his program along with Dr Eric Braverman. I have learned so much about health. The one thing I hear from them is fats are critical to brain health as well as heart. I think they said our brains are about 60% fat. They talk about dementias and how the low fat high carb, high processed diet has ruined us. They talk about omega 3s a lot, coconut oil, and nut oils like walnut to use for cooking and meals. Basically they encouraged the mediterranean diet but said regardless reduce saturated fat in fried foods, breads and pastries, etc.
My mom's new doctor agreed too and said high inflammation causes many a disease in our day. Said that's why these good fats are so important to get into the diet, along with a good supplement or two, more veggies, fruits and less bread, cake, sugar and fried or processed protein. I all but fell out of the chair.
As hard as it can be sometimes, I'm certainly learning a lot about health from my mom and my husband suffering from cancer. Thankfully his tumor has shrunk a lot and we follow this same diet and supplementation. He takes sulindac and tamoxifen but even the oncologist said he had never seen a tumor (desmoid) shrink so fast in any patient he has had over the years.
He said keep doing what you're doing and maybe we can reduce his meds. Said it's hard politically to get research funds into naturals and frustrates him to no end, because even if he wanted to suggest some of these to his other patients, he really can't and have the backing he needs. I thought whoa that's really beyond sad. That's why it's so important to get the word out like now.

after Mum was diagnosed with Al/s. I give the coco nut oil in the soup. I can't say
honestly if I've noticed an improvement, but I am sure the decline is very slow. Sometimes I stop to examine My conscience and wonder AM I JUST POSTPONING THE INEVIATIBLE, WHEN I KNOW ALZHEIMER'S WILL END MY POR MOTHER'S LIFE ? WOULD IT BE A KINDER ACT OF MERCY TO ALLOW OUR LOVED ONE DRIFT AWAY NATURALLY INTO THE NIGHT, AS OPPOSED TO PROLONGING THEIR EVENTUAL ZERO QUALITY OF LIFE. I would love to hear Your thoughts on this.
