Coconut Oil for Alzheimer's Disease
My wellness doctor prescribes coconut oil for me. I ran out for awhile, and I noticed I kept forgetting to do things....I am back on it and I will not stop again.
He feels that 4 Tablespoons a day is good for you. He suggests putting it in your coffee, but I drink my coffee black and I dont like the coconut taste in it, so I cook with it. I cook my two eggs in the morning, in with other veges or just alone in 2 Tbsp of virgin organic coconut oil and dump all the melted extra into my dish.
He also says that you need dietary B12 for Optimal BRAIN Health. Sources are Liver, organic calf, wild caught salmon, organic grass fed beef, lamb, organic free range eggs [I always use these, decided long ago this is not where I wanted to save grocery money]
He says the following are things to avoid in your diet to keep the mind sharp: Sugars, especially fructose, Grains, even whole, organic grains will convert to sugar in your body and spike your insulin levels, also Artificial sweetners like Aspartame,[ which he says is an excitoxin which can literally destroy your brain cells]Soy, unfermented soy products are another food to be avoided to maintain healthy brain. One study he told me about said that men who ate tofu at least twice a week had more cognitiver brain impairment than men who at none or little. Their tests results showed that the men who ate tofu twice a week were equivilent to what they would have been if they were five years older than their current age.
He told me I had to work very hard on normalizing my insulin levels ...and believe me without my GBP surgery, I could not have done it. He said that by NORMALIZING my insulin levels and my leptin levels it actually raises my production of BRAIN INSULIN, which is a good thing.
And of course exercise and good Vitamin D leverls are very important for good brain health. [I am not so good at doing my exercise, my bad]
He also cautions that when you start Cocnut Oil therapy that you start slow and always take with food to minimize stomach discomfort. It may take you a few weeks to work up to the four tablspoons of coconut oil required for a theraputic dose, that's normal.
Also the Coconut oil should be taken in the morning as it takes a minimum of 3 hours for the oil to covert to ketones and reach your brain. But for those already suffering from pre-Alzheimer's or Alzheimer condition, repeating a dose of 4 tbsp 2'xs a day may be helpful.
He gave me this link to listen/watch...I give it to you.
Take care, Marti

"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone is fighting some kind of battle"
thanks for this Marti. I did some research and it makes sense as the experts think that Alz is due to a lack of glucose getting to the brain cells. Coconut oil has medium chain triglycerides, that is easily transferred to the brain cells. We will get my step dad started on it immediately.
I guess I am lucky as my diabetes is in remission since my GBP. I've added Omega-3 today and I will start adding some coconut oil tomorrow. I didn't go through this surgery to be unhealthy.
Again thanks.

We would neeed to take too many capsules and it is not bad tasting at all. I am just a purist about my coffee and drink it black, buyt anyone that uses cream in their coffee would find it just fine.
I also fry morning breakfast with it, eggs , turkey bacon etc.
Here is some additional info on it.
