Lots of non-PD health improvements came within the first month of taking coconut oil. Improved eyesight, clear headed thinking, more positive mood (it was like the sun came out), reduced swings in blood sugar (no more cravings), fixed my borderline cholesterol (all blood work numbers went off the charts in the right direction), amazing recovery from cold in 3-4 days (used to hound me for weeks), it was almost an out of body experience.

PD symptoms then started to fade away. I lost my Parkinson's frozen face (has expression again), drooling stopped, never feel dizzy or out of balance anymore, morning wake-up feel refreshed and energetic (used to feel like I'd been hit by a truck and had a whole body tremor), never require day time naps anymore, don't get tired while driving long distances in car, my toes are no longer numb and tingling sensation, significant reduction in right hand tremor, right foot no longer drags when I'm walking, elimination of right foot and leg tremor.

Hand tremor is my dominant symptom, and still flares up under stress. Miraculously I now go whole days without any tremor at all, except in between doses of cocunut oil. If I don't take the coconut oil, all the above symptoms start to reappear again, so it's a life time commitment for me. It will be interesting to see how far this will improve, especially since my neurologist says there's nothing she can do, when I was almost disabled by my tremor.

I am still taking prescription drugs, but have not increased for two years (I've been on coconut oil for 4 1/2 months now).

When I went for a general checkup, my family doctor just stared at me for several minutes and then said he sees no progression in parkinson's symptoms since I saw him two years ago (I was on coconut oil for only 4 months at the time of my visit). My neurologist is much more understated, and simply said that I have remarkably few symptoms considering that I was diagnosed 13 years ago.
