Hi,
There were posts about coconut oil in this forum, but the latest one was 4 years ago, so I thought to bring up this topic again.
My mum has Alzheimer diagnosed at age 54, she is now 56.
There has been many speculation online about Coconut Oil cures/slows down the progression of Alzheimer's Disease, but almost all of them quote the same source -
"ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE: What is there was a cure?" by Mary T. Newport, M.D.
In addition, I found videos, articles and research papers about coconut oil and Alzheimer's disease:
TEDx Talk by the author:
Article supporting the claim: https://www.alzheimers.net/2013-05-29/coconut-oil-for-alzheimers/
Research paper supporting (Page 6, section 3.7): https://www.researchgate.net/profil...UT-OIL-A-REVIEW-OF-POTENTIAL-APPLICATIONS.pdf
However, I am adamant to try it because there are sources which claim there might be negative effects that worsen the disease instead of helping:
Sites that claim the risk of taking coconut oil:
https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about...lternative-therapies/coconut-oil-and-dementia
https://www.dementiablog.org/coconut-oil-alzheimers-separating-fact-fiction/
Unsure about results: https://alzheimer.ca/en/Home/About-dementia/Alzheimer-s-disease/Risk-factors/Coconut-oil
Has anyone actually tried taking coconut oil, do you mind sharing the results?
Before I try it on my mum, I will consult my doctor to see what she thinks. I am posting this in advance so I get more information before the consultation.
