http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/healthscience/2012/January/Coconut-Oil-Touted-as-Alzheimers-Remedy/

Hello, Me again.. :-)

My daughter , Daisha has a neighbor with Alzheimers, so she told the husband about coconut oil & the Christian web site (CBN.com) with a video & article about the benefits of coconut oil.
I wanted to pass on the info to you all  , so it you know anyone that has alzheimers or even a strong family leaning , you can pass on the info to them.

it has even shown benefits for some with demintia .

I say if it helps a bit or even stops the progression in it's tracks.. it's worth it . esp something as gentle &  healthy as coconut  oil..
( And to think our lovely FDA took it out of movie theatres b/c they thought it was bad ! Wow.. love the Gov . )

A small excert from the article & video :

Alternative Brain Fuel

In this case, insulin problems prevent brain cells from accepting glucose, their primary fuel. Without it, they eventually die.

But there is an alternative fuel -- ketones, which cells easily accept. Ketones are metabolized in the liver after you eat medium chain triglicerides, found in coconut oil.

Dr. Newport added coconut oil to her husband Steve's diet. Just two weeks later, he took the clock test again and demonstrated stunning improvement.

"I thought at the time, was it just good luck? Was it a lot of prayer? Was it the coconut oil?" she said. "And I thought, well, we're going to keep the coconut oil going."

Three weeks later, Steve took the clock test a third time and continued to perform better on it.

And it wasn't just intellectually, he also improved emotionally and physically.

"He was not able to run. He was able to run again," she recalled. "He could not read for about a year and a half, but after two or three months he was able to read."
