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................
