Coconut Oil............REVERSES.............Alzheimer's Disease...........

GOD IS MY DOG

Alzheimer’s afflicts 5.2 million people in the US and is the 7th leading cause of death. The cost of treating it is estimated at $148 billion.


Mary Newport, MD, a medical director at Spring Hill Regional Hospital. Her husband Steve, 53, began showing signs of Alzheimer’s Disease. “Many days, often for several days in a row, he was in a fog; couldn’t find a spoon or remember how to get water out of the refrigerator,” she said.


They started him on Alzheimer’s drugs—Aricept, Namenda, Exelon—but his disease worsened steadily. (Latest research shows that various Alzheimer’s drugs have been disappointing, with distressing side effects.) When Dr. Newport couldn’t get her husband into a drug trial for a new Alzheimer’s medication, she started researching the mechanism behind Alzheimer’s.


Dr. Newport learned that the ingredient in the propmising new drug was derived from coconut oil and that a dose of 20 grams (about 20 ml or 4 teaspoons) was used to produce these results which not only protect against the incidence of Alzheimer’s, but actually reverse it.


Moreover, this is also a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease), drug-resistant epilepsy, brittle type I diabetes, and type II (insulin-resistant) diabetes.


So Mr. Newport started taking the coconut oil twice a day. At this point, he could barely remember how to draw a clock. Two weeks after adding coconut oil to his diet, his drawing improved. After 37 days, Steve’s drawing gained even more clarity. Dr. Newport saw remarkable changes in him: every morning he was alert and happy, talkative, making jokes. He was able to concentrate on things that he wanted to do around the house and in the yard and stay on task, whereas before coconut oil he was easily distractible and rarely accomplished anything unless he was directly supervised.


Over the next year, the dementia continued to reverse itself: he is able to run again, his reading comprehension has improved dramatically, and his short-term memory is improving—he often brings up events that happened days to weeks earlier and relays telephone conversations with accurate detail. A recent MRI shows that the brain atrophy has been completely halted.


Synthetic (patentable) Alzheimer’s drugs have failed. A drug company reluctantly decides to put a non-patentable natural substance (medium-chain triglycerides derived from coconut) through an FDA trial. It works. Not only that, the ketones from natural coconut oil last in the body longer than the drug version—eight hours instead of three hours.


This is enough to make a drug company start worrying about its future................

I use virgin coconut oil when I cook. It has a higher oxidising temperature that makes it better for cooking. However you can used it like a supplement by consuming it directly. I use this brand, http://www.iherb.com/Nutiva-Organic-Extra-Virgin-Coconut-Oil-54-fl-oz-1-6-L/7311?at=0

In Malaysia you can find http://www.itworks.com.my/
You can read about the health benefits.

Virgin coconut oil is an oil. Why would you want to mix it with milo:eek:
I've only tried the Nutiva brand, been happy with its taste. Really nice when used on plain toasted bread.

I store the big container in the fridge(not freezer) where it will solidify & keep a small amount outside the fridge. That way I always have some that can easily be used.

If you are a milo drinker you might want to consider the Madre Lab products, http://www.iherb.com/search?kw=madre labs, cafeceps
They have a range of healthy organic, coffee, cordycep, & coca products without the sugars. Instead of sugar you can consider adding honey or blue agave which has a low glycemic, http://www.iherb.com/Search?kw=blue+agave

If you like nuts, iHerb has a nice range of organic nuts.

The thing with these "Health Oils" is, you need to take another one to balance the one that you are taking. For e.g., once, I was taking Flax Seed Oil to lower my high cholesterol. But then, I needed to take Cod Liver Oil to balance the Omega-6 in Flax Seed oil. Before long, I found myself taking 1/2 a coffee cup worth of Oil Mix. Maybe 8 different kinds of oil. I nearly destroyed my liver, although my Arteries probably became very healthy. Now, I just say "to Hell with it," and gulp down all the Junk Food. No more "Health Oils." If you're going to die, might as well die while having a good time!:biggrin:

The Tree of Life

The scientific name for coconut is Cocos nucifera. Early Spanish explorers called it coco, which means "monkey face" because the three indentations (eyes) on the hairy nut resembles the head and face of a monkey. Nucifera means "nut-bearing."

The coconut provides a nutritious source of meat, juice, milk, and oil that has fed and nourished populations around the world for generations. On many islands coconut is a

staple in the diet and provides the majority of the food eaten. Nearly one third of the world's population depends on coconut to some degree for their food and their economy. Among these cultures the coconut has a long and respected history.

Coconut is highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is classified as a "functional food" because it provides many health benefits beyond its nutritional content. Coconut oil is of special interest because it possesses healing properties far beyond that of any other dietary oil and is extensively used in traditional medicine among Asian and Pacific populations. Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illness. The coconut palm is so highly valued by them as both a source of food and medicine that it is called "The Tree of Life." Only recently has modern medical science unlocked the secrets to coconut's amazing healing powers.

Coconut In Traditional Medicine

People from many diverse cultures, languages, religions, and races scattered around the globe have revered the coconut as a valuable source of both food and medicine. Wherever the coconut palm grows the people have learned of its importance as a effective medicine. For thousands of years coconut products have held a respected and valuable place in local folk medicine.

In traditional medicine around the world coconut is used to treat a wide variety of health problems including the following: abscesses, asthma, baldness, bronchitis, bruises, burns, colds, constipation, cough, dropsy, dysentery, earache, fever, flu, gingivitis, gonorrhea, irregular or painful menstruation, jaundice, kidney stones, lice, malnutrition, nausea, rash, scabies, scurvy, skin infections, sore throat, swelling, syphilis, toothache, tuberculosis, tumors, typhoid, ulcers, upset stomach, weakness, and wounds.

Coconut In Modern Medicine

Modern medical science is now confirming the use of coconut in treating many of the above conditions. Published studies in medical journals show that coconut, in one form or another, may provide a wide range of health benefits. Some of these are summarized below:
• Kills viruses that cause influenza, herpes, measles, hepatitis C, SARS, AIDS, and other illnesses.

Coconut Oil

While coconut possesses many health benefits due to its fiber and nutritional content, it's the oil that makes it a truly remarkable food and medicine.

Once mistakenly believed to be unhealthy because of its high saturated fat content, it is now known that the fat in coconut oil is a unique and different from most all other fats and possesses many health giving properties. It is now gaining long overdue recognition as a nutritious health food.

Coconut oil has been described as "the healthiest oil on earth." That's quite a remarkable statement. What makes coconut oil so good? What makes it different from all other oils, especially other saturated fats?

The difference is in the fat molecule. All fats and oils are composed of molecules called fatty acids. There are two methods of classifying fatty acids. The first you are probably familiar with, is based on saturation. You have saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats. Another system of classification is based on molecular size or length of the carbon chain within each fatty acid. Fatty acids consist of long chains of carbon atoms with hydrogen atoms attached. In this system you have short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), and long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). Coconut oil is composed predominately of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), also known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCT).

The vast majority of fats and oils in our diets, whether they are saturated or unsaturated or come from animals or plants, are composed of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). Some 98 to 100% of all the fatty acids you consume are LCFA.

The size of the fatty acid is extremely important. Why? Because our bodies respond to and metabolize each fatty acid differently depending on its size. So the physiological effects of MCFA in coconut oil are distinctly different from those of LCFA more commonly found in our foods. The saturated fatty acids in coconut oil are predominately medium-chain fatty acids. Both the saturated and unsaturated fat found in meat, milk, eggs, and plants (including most all vegetable oils) are composed of LCFA.

MCFA are very different from LCFA. They do not have a negative effect on cholesterol and help to protect against heart disease. MCFA help to lower the risk of both atherosclerosis and heart disease. It is primarily due to the MCFA in coconut oil that makes it so special and so beneficial.

There are only a very few good dietary sources of MCFA. By far the best sources are from coconut and palm kernel oils.

If that is a concern, you should look at products that provide all the essential oil i.e. Omega 3 & 6 & 9. People focus on omega 3 because that is the oil we are deficient in. The most common oil that we consume is omega 6 oils.

I buy mine from Foodland Supermarket in Thailand, 200ml for 200 baht about S$8.30. I find it quite expensive.

This is cold pressed and organic. I was told to not mix with hot drinks as heat may destroy some good stuff inside and since its cold pressed to retain all its goodness so better don't add heat.

I take a table spoon every morning with empty stomach. I don't feel anything improving anyway I don't have any major problem. Had been taking for almost a year and will continue to take it.

All the essential oils.......in 1 product.......it is called Udo's Oil. But not sold in Singapore.

Even then, Udo's Oil is missing a couple of elements. Like the coconut oil key compounds(sorry, i forget the name of these key compounds!!!!).

You can find Udo at GNC. They keep it in the refrigerator. Udo has many different products but you will only find 1 product at GNC:( That's why I get it from www.iherb.com where they have the full range & only takes 4 days tp reach Spore. Take a look at all the Udo products they carry:

I also use Barleans products. It's available from Unity again very expensive. So I just get it from iHerb:smile:
