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.
IF he responded /that/ dramatically to just coconut oil added to his diet...then maybe, he didn't have real dementia....could have been long-term deficiency in good fats dulling his brain. True.
There are illnesses and deficiencies that can masquerade as mental ills and dementias of all kinds. UIT's hide behind apparent behavior problems and dementias. Lack of probiotics can mess up digestion, causing loads of other ills, too.
Fixing the deficiencies, fixes the ills, more often than not. Learning what to look for or what to do, is the tricky part, because mainstream medicine is SOoooooo slow to come around to learning about nutritional things, much less recommend their patients to use them...and more important, to use them PROPERLY.
Beware of Docs who recommend wimpy doses of things that need large doses, or, token amounts when a realistic dose would be larger. It requires doing plenty of your own homework!
