Shane,

Have you ever heard of the Ketogenic diet? It is designed to increase the availability of ketones to the brain. The brain usually uses blood glucose to function. Some people's brains do not utilize glucose well. For them, ketones can make a difference.

Ketones are the energy component given off by the liver when it has exhausted its supply of glucogen. Some people with Alzheimer's and other dementias respond to ketones. MCT oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides) is one way to increase ketone availability.

Google 'ketones' and 'coconut oil' and you will find some interesting information.

My best to you.
