My daughter insisted I give coconut oil to my husband, her father. After one dose the change in him was miraculous. He asked me if I noticed he was talking more. He didn't know what the coconut oil was for or why I gave it to him.
He had gotten to the point he just sat, didin't notice what was going on around him and didn't talk much at all. Now he talks until I want to say hush. He is much more alelrt. It has just made a world of difference for him. I know if it worked for everyone there would be more about iti in the news. But it worked for him. It is worty a try as it isn't harmful and isn't espensive. I would love to hear if anyone else has tried this and had the same results we did.
For other healthy reasons I cook with coconut oil and do not use vegetable oil at all any more. You can add coconut oil in tea or cofee but it makes your veggies taste great.
The solid at cool temps can be used in the same way as any other cooking oil. There is also coconut flour, coconut sugar and coconut milk, and coconut water. My daughter uses all of these products but takes the coconut oil as a liquid. It turns into a liquid in your mouth. I know I sound like a commercial and I did feel silly posting this but if yall could see the difference in my husband you just wouldn;t believe it. And the best thing of all is that he says he can tell that he is thinking and speaking better and that makes him happy.
You can use coconut oil as dressing for salad, spread for your bread, or add it to your drinks. We used to also add it to her rice. But now she refuses to eat rice, so we just add it to her vegetables.
My Mom took it for a while. She does not have dimentia but has some memory loss. I need to start having her take it again. My sister inlww's 98 yr old Mom takes it for mouth sores and has noticed a big difference in her memory too.
Since coconut oil is all natural pharmacuetical companies cannot patten it. The doctors knly recommend the drugs as they are taught to do in med school. Only holistic doctors will recommend natural cures.
Olive oil is another good thing to use on the skin. It is a natural exfoliant has vit A and E in it and helps keep moisture in. Great for acne, aging and other skin problems.
Here on this board, I will never fail to mention it on any dementia post to which I respond. It is most definitely one of those "can't hurt, might help" ideas. I'm THRILLED for you!!
