Surprise benefits of humble coconut oil - Reversing Dementia.
If you have dogs, beware.
Mine would knock you flat for the taste.
;D
I only have one 3 pound beast that is kind of doggish in some respects. I think he’s some kind of weird hybrid of species.
Truth or dare time;
I have a lovely bottle of pricey organic oil in the fridge.
I got *one* swig down before I decided capsules were the way to go.
I’m not much on oily stuff to start with and that coconut oil seemed to keep ‘walking around’ in my stomach far too long for my comfort.
*In* something else, it’s almost undetectable.
Straight from the bottle, not so much.
:D
Nature’s Way makes very good stuff.
The critters are all fine.
You can’t put oil on snakes’ scales.
It will soften them and they’ll fall out.
Weird, I know.
[and why would I want greasy snakes, anyway? they’re already hard to hold onto]
LOL
Not even gonna ask.
:-O
“the world’s number one cause of death, is virtually unknown in a coconut eating population of Sri Lanka.”

As long as the coconut does not fall from the tree and hit you on the head!
I have many around my house. One coconut falling 60+ feet would make quite a dent in one’s skull.
A neighbor, about 100 feet down the path from me, had one tree cut down because the coconuts were hanging far above, but right over the path.
Thanks for posting this.
You *must* post pics after *that* intriguing description.
[seriously...the curiosity is killing me]
I hear ya. I have some Manuka in my mouth right now. Trying to do mind over matter. I may need you to talk me through this. :)
By the way- NO other oil cleans up as easy as coconut oil from your stove or your dishes. It’s totally non-greasy.
[seriously...the curiosity is killing me]
Oh I was so hoping you would ask! lol.
~Me~ help *you* get through it??
I’m still sitting here with sympathy nausea!
;D
Liberals are intellectually constipated so you *might* want to try an alternative “dosing method”.

Most excellent idea. I’ll add bran flakes to the coconut oil—he’ll never suspect a thing!
So post ‘em already!
Pleeeeeeeeeeeease!
“Straight from the bottle, not so much.”

I do not understand why one would drink any oil out of the bottle.
We use coconut oil only in cooking and salad dressings, just as one would use any oil. It is the only oil that we use.
I do not notice any objectionable taste, smell, or flavor.
If it is not available for you, I guess capsules would be OK.
OMG he’s so cute he hurts my eyes!
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
We’re not where you are and some of us are just now experimentin’.
Pardon our haste to better health!
:)
[macaroons, anyone?]
I’m still sitting here with sympathy nausea!
;D Lol. I'm gonna need a FRiend with a stronger constitution. ;)
No doubt coconut oil is good for the brain. And maybe it would be good for those with an early dementia dx. But please don’t even bother trying to shove it down the throats of your loved ones who are moderately or more impaired with Alzheimers. It’s too hard to do. Some times they don’t even want it in a smoothie, And no doubt it means a whole change in diet, focus on clean, non sweet foods, etc. I am very into healthy eating but if I even tried to change both my parents’ diets at this point (both have Alzheimers) it would be unpleasant for them. They look very forward to their sweets and treats after meals, and they would have to be challenged to eat anything with coconut oil in it.
You need to get several tablespoons in daily, and their caregivers already have to work hard to get them to bathe and take walks and other necessary things. Why give caregivers any more hard work to do? And why not let my parents have their little pleasures, when so much else has been stolen from them?
There isn’t a lot of evidence that coconut oil can cure alzheimers, or reverse neuro damage. However, adding it to our diet can only be good, especially if there is even a chance it can help with prevention.
