Coconut Oil for Reversing Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Now Clinically Studied<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dr. Mary Newport, desperate after orthodox medical attempts failed her husband\u2019s dwindling dysfunction from Alzheimer\u2019s, discovered coconut oil and rescued him from having to be put away in a special home.<\/strong>
\n His remarkable recovery went viral on the internet and Dr. Newport wrote a 2011-12 bestseller, Alzheimer\u2019s Disease: What if There Was a Cure?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

Both the Internet\u2019s coverage and her book started an international grassroots movement of folks with very early dementia, even just brain fog and senior moments, trying themselves or helping relatives diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s. Thus creating a wave of success reports and testimonial videos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However successful those reports were, mainstream medicine wasn\u2019t recognizing coconut oil<\/em> as an efficacious aid for Alzheimer\u2019s or any type of dementia. Even the Alzheimer\u2019s Association and other similar groups still won\u2019t recommend or mention coconut oil to Alzheimer\u2019s sufferers simply because there are no peer reviewed studies<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But somehow, a recent peer reviewed study has been completed and published with another in progress with positive results.<\/strong><\/p>\n

COCONUT OIL: NON-ALTERNATIVE DRUG TREATMENT AGAINST ALZHEIMER\u00b4S DISEASE (published December 1, 2015 by Nutricion Hospitalaria<\/em>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This clinical trial was conducted in Spain, which explains why the study was done to begin with. Spain and other EU nations and middle eastern nations, including Israel, seem less restricted with what they can study without pharmaceutical funding. Spain and Israel have done considerable research and human studies on cannabis\u2019 medical applications, for example.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n

The Spanish clinical trial involved following Alzheimer\u2019s patients of varying ages and genders with and without diabetes diagnoses to determine if coconut oil consumption had any effect on reducing their Alzheimer\u2019s mental dysfunction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They used cognitive testing before and after the clinical trial to determine changes. The intervention group was fed 40 ml of coconut oil daily, which comes to 2.7 tablespoons. Three tablespoons or more daily is recommended by experts, depending on dementia severity and coconut oil digestive tolerance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The researchers noted \u201ca statistically significant increase in test score \u2026 and therefore an improvement in cognitive status, improving especially women\u2019s, those without diabetes mellitus type II, and severe patients.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spanish researchers concluded, \u201cthis study, although preliminary, demonstrated the positive influence of coconut oil at the cognitive level of patients with Alzheimer\u2019s, this improvement being dependent on sex, presence or absence of diabetes and degree of dementia.\u201d (Source) <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Another clinical study, supported by private funding of course, on the effects of coconut oil for Alzheimer\u2019s has been underway in Florida. It was started in 2013 at the University of South Florida\u2019s Health Byrd Alzheimer\u2019s Institute, located in Tampa, Florida.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Publishing for that study is expected in 2016. But word on the street is that there has been a high success rate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Fallacy of No and Low Fat Dieting<\/strong><\/h2>\n

First, let\u2019s clear the air on the outdated coconut oil saturated fat issue. Clean saturated fats that are not hydrogenated or otherwise adulterated are necessary for overall and brain health<\/em>. They are not the source of obesity and heart disease.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The notoriously faulty Ancel Keys Seven Countries Study<\/em>, which was accepted whole cloth by the medical establishment, media, and the processed cooking oil and margarine manufacturers in the 1950s. It gave Crisco and others the platform to pitch their unhealthy processed hydrogenated oils containing trans-fats to replace coconut oil, palm oil, and butter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been determined that hydrogenated and semi-hydrogenated oils containing trans-fats are more responsible for obesity, heart disease, and various autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Refined carbohydrates, added high sugar, especially high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), have added to the rise in obesity with heart problems remaining at the to of disease morbidity despite the no or low fat mania of several decades.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pharmaceutical Failures for Alzheimer\u2019s<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So far, not one pharmaceutical drug designed for Alzheimer\u2019s has been successful with anything but creating adverse side effects. That\u2019s why Alzheimer\u2019s is considered \u201cuntreatable\u201d. Big Pharma has nothing to offer so nothing exists from the AMA perspective.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One study discovered that many with high cholesterol counts live to well into their 80s. Ironically, blockbuster Big Pharma revenue statin drugs cause more by doing what they claim, reducing cholesterol counts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coconut Oil for Alzheimer\u2019s Prevention and Reversal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

From Dr. Stephanie Steneff: The brain represents only 2% of the body\u2019s total mass, but contains 25% of the total cholesterol. Cholesterol is required everywhere in the brain as an antioxidant, an electrical insulator (in order to prevent ion leakage), as a structural scaffold for the neural network, and a functional component of all membranes. Cholesterol is also utilized in the wrapping and synaptic delivery of the neurotransmitters. It also plays an important role in the formation and functioning of synapses in the brain.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Coconut oil differs from most other saturated fats, essentially fats that remain solid at room temperature, because it contains medium chain triglycerides or MCTs. Unlike the more common long chain triglycerides (LCTs), MCTs are easily digested by the liver and converted to energy in the form of ketones.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Long chain triglycerides or fatty acids don\u2019t get readily converted into ketones that can be used by cells for energy. Much of LCTs or LCFAs wind up getting stored as fat.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brain cells that have difficulty utilizing insulin for glucose wind up starving to death. Whole sections of the brain become useless as from the lack of energy caused by decreased glucose utilization.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This similarity to diabetes 2 with it\u2019s cellular inability to process insulin, or insulin resistance, that is a major reason why Alzheimer\u2019s or any similar dementia is considered diabetes 3.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The solution for diabetes 3 is ketones derived from the liver\u2019s processing coconut oil MCTs. The ketones furnish brain cells with what they need regardless of insulin resistance that hampers glucose cellular metabolism. Ketones also increase blood circulation in the brain, a nice byproduct.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But ketones are easy come easy go. One needs to maintain a steady diet of healthy virgin coconut oil at the recommended pace of three or more tablespoons daily to maintain the cells energy levels.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The building blocks of brain matter are made from cholesterol. Coconut oil supplies that as well as the ketones that provide the brain energy despite insulin-glucose issues. With coconut oil, one gets the benefits of better brain structure and increased energy capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\n
