If you are your loved one has Alzheimer's, and coconut oil might help, why would you worry about stupid studies?

I wish I'd known about it when my mother began having symptoms. I would have tried it without giving a flip about any stupid studies

BTW, what I didn't consider giving her was Rx pills that were known to cause liver and kidney damage.

It seems to be human nature to think simple things don't work and there has to be 5 years and millions of $$$$ and FDA approval or it won't work.

I read an article several years ago about people following and studying monkeys in the wild. They determined when the monkeys didn't feel their best. Even had headaches...and ate from the trees that aspirin ingrediants come from.

Therefore, IMO the FDA isn't any better than monkeys when it comes to pain management. :)

I hear you, and you make a point. I guess I'm just a bit frustrated. I see a web report by Dr. A. He says do this. But then web Dr. B says do something else, all the way down to web Dr. Z.

Some of those doctors probably know what they're talking about. Others are mistaken, or are just trying to sell a book. But which are which?

Perhaps one should try a little of everything. Or is it better to trust a university study? Who knows?
