Drugs-vs-Coconut-Oil

New Alzheimer’s Drugs Continue to Fail Where Coconut Oil Shines. Report here.

Coconut oil’s ketogenic properties have been known for quite some time, as has the fact that it is a highly saturated fat not prone to lipid peroxidation which is a problem with polyunsaturated oils. Polyunsaturated oils have largely replaced saturated fats in the American diet, and lipid peroxidation is known to be a precursor to Alzheimer’s. The ketones found in coconut oil provide a fuel to the brain that is thought to be very beneficial to those suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s. These facts about coconut oil are not new, but their emphasis in helping people with these problems received national exposure in 2008 with the publishing of Dr. Mary Newport’s story.

More recent research conducted in 2011 has looked at the role of diet in developing Alzheimer’s, and the role of cholesterol uptake to the brain. The brain represents only 2% of the body’s total mass, but contains 25% of the total cholesterol. One out of every four Americans over the age of 45 is now prescribed statin drugs (cholesterol lowering drugs), and many are now beginning to wonder if there is more than just a correlation between forcing cholesterol levels lower via a lucrative statin drug business and the epidemic rise in Alzheimer’s disease in recent years.

There is a strong correlation between between insulin resistance in the brain and Alzheimer’s, leading some to now classify Alzheimer’s as a “type 3 diabetes.” The low-fat high carbohydrate diet that has been recommended by the USDA for so many years does not appear to be a diet that has been helpful to our mental health.

The testimonies of success in using coconut oil to treat Alzheimer’s has been nothing less than remarkable, especially considering the widespread failure of the drug companies to find drugs that can effectively deal with this disease. We bring you the research and the testimonies here.
