Alzheimer's and coconut oil

suziecue66

just thought I would start a new thread on Alzheimer's and coconut oil. Below are comments I made in another thread re low carb being culprit in Alzheimer's which I don't believe is so.

Do try coconut oil. this doctor put her husband on it:
https://talesfromthelou.wordpress.com/2012/02/03/physician-prescribes-coconut-oil-and-successfully-cures-alzheimers-disease-before-its-news/

"Dr. Newport, a physician who runs a neonatology ward in a Florida hospital, became determined to help her husband after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The report hosted on CBN.com stated that “insulin problems prevent brain cells from accepting glucose, their primary fuel…there is an alternative fuel, ketones which the cells easily accept. Ketones are metabolized in the liver after you eat medium chain triglycerides which are found in coconut oil.”

Alzheimer's disease could be a third form of diabetes.

thank you for bringing up the subject! i just the other day listened to a web/podcast talking all about how Alzheimers is a disease caused by inflammation...makes sense to me because that is what all diseases are born from.

so what drives inflammation in the body!!

Yep!

Carbohydrates/processed foods/grains/gluten!

don't believe me...well then ask my mother....oh wait, she doesn't remember who i am or what shes been eating for 4 decades....I do!!

Lower your carbs.....

Hello there,

Pretty interesting...
I recently read his book "Paleo Solution" and I'm doing it know. Extremely satisfying!
He uses the Coconut Oil, Macadamia Oil and Almond Oil as well in his nutrition. In the book and online he talks about diseases i.e. Alzheimer's, Cancer etc.

And yes , lower your carbs. :-)

Thanks. Know all about Robb Wolf. He does eat more carbs now, not so low carb.

If I had Alzheimer's I would try the coconut oil.. I have no definitive proof. We can all just do what we think is best.
