My question is do you have any particular reason for jumping onto coconut oil other than your personal belief that it will work, and your confidence in the reports you have posted. With no disrespect at all, I just want to make sure that you don't have some vested interest that we are unaware of. I appreciate all of the information that you post on this topic. I just want to feel comfortable that it is being done for the right reasons. Thank you, Gary Last edited by Tupelo3; 10-12-2013 at 12:40 PM. Reason: typo |

How I became focused on coconut oil was a strange series of coincidental events. I attended a local Parkinson's Society meeting where some research on a way of restoring health to mitochondria was reported on rat models, and proposed for potential treatment of Parkinson's in 10 years. In the meantime my wife had recently purchased a book in the health food store on treatment of Alzheimer's for a friend who's mother is very sick. My wife starting skimming the book and realized it had potential for treating Parkinson's, hence brought it to my attention. I started reading and was stunned that the book's theory about restoring sick mitochondria was very similar to the mainstream study on rat models (different agents but same goal). Hence I began taking coconut oil. Within weeks I started noticing improvements and started increasing my dosage. The only condition I imposed on myself was that I would have my blood work done after a month because of my borderline cholesterol. If my blood work turned worse, I would stop the treatment. My blood work was outstanding, far beyond any expectations and never been better in my entire life, so I became committed to taking this treatment as far as I can. My family doctor stated that he saw no progression in my disease since I saw him two years ago (I had only started coconut oil several months earlier). I no longer have any urgency to see my neurologist, and on my last regular six month appointment she said I was doing remarkably well for being diagnosed 13 years ago. Hope this answers your question. Last edited by satwar; 10-13-2013 at 04:34 AM. |

My cholesterol has always been on the lower side (as is the case with many PWP). However, as with you, since I started taking the coconut oil, its dropped even more. On top of that, my HDLs are actually higher now than my LDLs. Not sure if I can attribute this to the coconut, but it certainly hasn't hurt. |
