Trixiedee,

Please see the thread "Pass the fat, please..." it is all about ketogenic diet, coconut oil,anti-inflammatory diet, paleolithic diet, mitochondrial diet,...To date there has been only one study on the ketogenic diet for PD and many could not hack it because well meals are rather unpalatable. I know that the ketogenic diet has been used since the 20's to control epilepsy; it especially works well for children basically they only have to do diet for a year or so then are seizure free after this; they can leave the diet behind. I thought of trying but am trying to to lose weight.

There is more in the archives if you type in ketogenic.

As for coconut oil...the studies are on Alzheimer's and show positive results.If we develop dementia it is entirely different brain systems involved between two diseases. I tried and it did not make a noticeable difference in my symptoms; however, oddly it is a great boost to your metabolism. More energy and helps you lose weight. I shed several pounds on it but noticed no symptom benefit. See the writings of Mary Enig on coconut oill plus dits.

Hope this helps.
