Where do you get your coconut oil from?

No you read it right, tablespoons. This is defined in both "Stop Alzheimer's Now" and "What if there was a Cure" books on coconut oil therapy. Both books also talk about reducing carbohydrate intake to achieve weight loss, not calorie counting. Coconut oil burns off very quickly and is an unmistakable sensation, it is definitely not metabolized like carbohydrate.

My nutritionist designed my meal plan around 6-8 tablespoons of coconut oil per day and I was actually losing weight. There was no calorie counting verbalized when making the meal plan. Basically she said for my body weight I must eat 100 g of protien per day, which I get from Whey protein, pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, hemp seed, chicken, salmon. She then said I must eat whole vegetables at every meal, which I have 3 cups (at least), comprised of at least two from kale, brocolli, red cabbage, carrots. I also consume berries and large oat flakes every day.

I must say I feel fantastic and the parting words from my family doctor were "I fully support whatever you are doing, keep it up"

Costco

Make sure it is organic, virgin, cold-pressed

so your're advocating a ketogenic diet?
curious as to how you take the oil - all at once or divided dosages - do you add it to food? and it took how long to see an affect on pd symptoms?
also curious what pd meds you are on and dosages.

No, it is not ketogenic, but it may be close. I just tried some ketone urine strips before lunch today for the first time and ketones are very low.

I just eat it. (3 + 2) morning, 3 noon, 3 dinner. I'm always experimenting on the timing. I'll feel the effects wearing off, but it takes a few hours for the new dosage to kick in, so it can be a bit of a roller coaster ride sometimes.

I started noticing PD symptoms fading after about a month at dosage level of 6-8 TBS a day. I keep a daily diary.

Meds 3 x 1.5 x 100mg/25mg levocarb and 3 x 1 x 1.5mg mirapex and 2 x 1 x 2mg trihex

I didn't even catch the ketogenic diet. Thanks for pointing that out Soccertese.
I thought that taking a few tablespoons of coconut oil would help with PD symptoms. I think I jumped the gun. I am not into ketogenic stuff as I know someone with seizures that tried it, and it's ugly how it turned out to be.

I am not on a ketogenic diet. I am not in keytosis (according to urine strips). I suggested watching carbohydrate consumption if someone starts gaining weight while taking coconut oil. I am personally not gaining weight, even at 10-12 TBS coconut oil per day.

I hope it goes without saying that you should be getting blood work done when you're shoveling that much saturated fat into your body. In my case shoveling saturated fat in the form of coconut oil into my mouth gave me outstanding blood work. It was exactly what my body needed. A huge increase in HDL (good cholesterol), a huge drop on LDL (bad cholesterol), and a huge drop in triglycerides.

I am hooked on coconut oil just for the outstanding blood work. Statins did nothing for my cholesterol.

Satwar Thanks for your excellent responses. I'm going to follow your suggestion and bump up my dose. I'll let you know how it goes. I will also make some diet adjustments. How long at 6 to 8 tablespoons before you realized it was the oil kicking in and improving your situation?
