The coconut oil gave me a beach-head to launch my battle against PD. I had my blood work done after about 1 1/2 months and the results gave me the courage to make a lifetime commitment to coconut oil. Then I consulted with a nutritionist to get my diet plan and help me in getting my weight down. It is really quite a juggling act, trying to lose weight, and decrease my tremor, and eat nutritious meals. My first attempt at reducing my weight on my own failed miserably. I was almost disabled by my tremor. Fortunately a good well balanced meal with carbohydrate pulled me out of the tremor. The meal planning by a nutritionist has now solved that problem. Good Luck. And take it slow on increasing the dosage, it can cause intestinal distress. I should also mention I take omega 3 oil because coconut oil does not have any. I take a number of other supplements but have not seen any improvement to my symptoms like I did with coconut oil. Last edited by satwar; 09-13-2013 at 06:49 AM. |

I'm calculating ~ 65 g net carbohydrate (Total - Fiber). The main contributor are my large three times daily servings of kale (2-3 cups = 12-18g per meal), broccoli and red cabbage. Last edited by satwar; 09-14-2013 at 11:18 AM. |

Interest in the potential for coconut oil's use in combating Alzheimer's grew in the wake of an October 2011 online article and a January 2012 Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) video touting its efficacy in that regard. CBN is a Christian television broadcasting network in the United States begun by Pat Robertson in 1961 that is best known for the 700 Club. Dr. Mary Newport (featured in the CBN video linked to above), author of the 2011 book Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure?: The Story of Ketones, and the medical director of the neonatal intensive care unit of Spring Hill Regional Hospital in Florida, supports the glucose-starvation theory and postulates ketones (delivered in the form of coconut oil) provide an alternative energy source for brain cells that have lost to Alzheimer's their ability to use glucose (the brain’s chief energy source). She points to her own husband's remarkable results after having had his diet supplemented with this substance as one of the proofs of this form of treatment.

Clinical trials (proof) are in very short supply, because so far very little money is being made available to fund ketone research. The only clinical trial (proof) that I am aware of is in 2009: Study of the ketogenic agent AC-1202 in mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease: a randomized, double-blind, placebocontrolled, multicenter trial Samuel T Henderson*, Janet L Vogel, Linda J Barr, Fiona Garvin, Julie J Jones and Lauren C Costantini Currently there is a clinical trial being conducted at the University of Florida, Byrd Institute but results won't be available for several years. This trial was funded anonymously based on a significant number of anecdotal reports submitted to Mary Newport after she published her book. Last edited by satwar; 09-15-2013 at 06:03 AM. |

i'd also try to get a pd researcher interested, contact the nearest university doing research. that's what i would do if i had stumbled onto a treatment with such amazing results. possibly post a before and after video on youtube, you stated the affect is transitory, if you miss a day your pd symptoms come back? so should be able to take a video. |

Further, what do you think Mary Newport (What if there was a Cure) has been doing these past few years but getting research in universities started. Yes, she has my number. Last edited by satwar; 09-15-2013 at 12:53 PM. |

Satwar, I'm starting to see results. Lost 10 pounds, inflammation is gone from my hands. I'll check my numbers in about 3 more weeks.
