And on the Alz. front: Dr. Newport who put her husband with Alz. on coconut oil and MCT oil (medium chain triglyceride oil, which is found abundantly in coconut and palm oil)...stable MRI, improvement on the mental exams, and in QOL: helping around the house, maintaining the yard, volunteering at the hospital where she works, things he was not able to do before.

Dr. Newport admits that if a cell is dead, that it is highly unlikely it can be brought back to life...but if it is merely sick, malfunctioning, stressed, it can be brought back to health. This seems to be borne out by her and her husband's experience with Alz. Her book is "Alzheimer's Disease: What if there was a cure?"

Not surprisingly, Dr. Newport has not been invited to speak at any of the Alz. associations...some of this is also chronicled in her book.
