Reversing Alzheimer's With Coconut Oil #179

Open nelsonic opened 1 year ago

nelsonic commented 1 year ago

Dr Newport tells the story of her husband's experience with Alzheimer's and how a ketogenic diet supplemented with coconut and MCT oil improved his condition.

this is relevant to Oupa & Avo Rosinha. Both of whom have varying degrees of cognitive/memory impairment… 💭

Oupa is actually doing well with a diet change. I actually moved into Avó Rosinha's house a decade ago and cooked for her for 2-3 weeks and her gut issues didn't improve and all she remembered are the detox symptoms. A little harder to convince her of any diet change now - sugar is one of the few genuine pleasures she has left in life sadly (along with her great grandchildren).

@iteles how much time did you spend watching the video or reading into this before commenting? 🤷‍♂️ Oupa regularly forgets things he did the same day and Avó Rosinha similarly has several symptoms that could be alleviated by consuming comparatively small amounts of coconut/MCT oil. Would it not be worth considering to significantly improve quality of life for 2-5 years?

I understand that you tried to help Avó Rosinha with her nutrition a few years back. But it sounds to me that rather than thinking “oh this could be worth a shot”, you’ve saying: “we tried it, and it didn’t work”. Very fixed-mindset. 😢 If Avó Rosinha loves sweet things and we could find a source of sweet things made with natural ingredients and Coconut Oil, wouldn’t it be worth her replacing the highly processed refined sugar that is killing her and her brain with something that does the opposite?

E.g: you could ask (pay) Gui to develop a sugar-free chocolate bon-bon recipe that would be Diabetic/Alzheimer’s-friendly e.g based on: https://www.instructables.com/Homemade-Coconut-Oil-Chocolates-Sugar-free-and-l/

that way Avó Rosinha can have her proverbial cake (sweet thing) and eat it too! 🍫
