Coconut Oil for Alzheimers Disease and neurodegenerative diseases

[Guest guest]

Thanks Arnold for this very useful mail. We in India have plenty of coconuts and

all south Indians invariably use coconut oil for cooking.

Dr.Julian Whitaker,MD in his newsletter Health & Healing of October 2009

writes about the breakthrough discovery that Medium Chain Triglicerides

(MCT) that are found in Coconut oil had a very salutory effect on restoring

brain function. Dr.Whitaker' s website _www.drwhitaker. com_

(http://www.drwhitak er.com)

 

The treatment was pioneered by Dr.Mary Newport,MD who first initiated the

therapy on her husband who had Alzheimer's Disease. She placed this material

on her website _www.coconutketones .com_ (http://www.coconutk etones.com)

 

Medium Chain Triglicerides are easily absorbed and are converted to

ketones, an alternative energy source after glucose stores are exhausted.Since

glucose is the preferred fuel source, ketones are produced only as a

backup-when you are fasting, for example or eating a low carbohydrate diet-this

is

the principle of the Alkins weight loss program. This principle has also

been used in the treatment of Epilepsy using the Ketogenic Diet since the

1920's.The Ketogenic Diet is very strict and some find it hard to follow, so

the Modified Atkins diet has been used successfully for Epilepsy in recent

years. The advantages of Coconut Oil and MCT's is that they are converted to

Ketones even without changing the rest of your diet, you can keep eating

carbohydrates.

Dr.Newport started with 7 teaspoons of Coconut Oil, since she was not

aware that MCT oil was available in addition to coconut oil.

Now she uses 3 teaspoons of coconut oil and 4 teaspoons of MCT oil. taken

three times a day with meals.

 

MCT oil, which is obtained from coconut oil is used in conventional

medicine to provide energy for premature infants and patients recovering from

surgery, and those suffering from malnutrition and absorption problems. It is

also used by athletes to improve performance and endurance and by dieters

to control appetite and stimulate fat burning.

 

Unfortunately coconut is not produced in the United States and has to be

imported, The American corn and soybean oil producers helped to point out

that Coconut oil was highly saturated and saturated fats had a bad reputation

for raising cholesterol and might cause cardiac problems.. In fact it is

cardioprotective, and contains compounds that support the liver, immune

function and have antimicrobial properties.

 

Dr.Whitaker now recommends Coconut oil for other neurodegenerative

diseases such as Parkinson's Disease,Dimentia, Multiple Sclerosis and ALS (Lou

Gehrig's disease).
