It's much too early to tell which way my Father is going as he is quite stubborn, but so far, it's hard to believe his progress. Will post every month or so and keep everyone updated, but today he did a happy dance that made us all burst out with laughter. If you could have seen him about 6 weeks ago, you would swear he was on his last legs.

Hi Stevenson - what great news about your father! I truly hope to see monthly updates from you as "The Big A" is the real worry I have about getting older. As I've aged, I realize that 76 is not old at all - that's just 20 years from now, for me, and the time will pass in a flash!Replied By Stevenson (Vancouver, Bc, Canada) on 03/22/2013
Hi Linda. That's true, time just moves so fast now it seems. Yes, really wonderful news for him, but also for us, as it's not easy seeing someone you love wither away like that. 6 weeks ago everything looked hopeless, but now, it's such an improvement, so I'll keep posting here good or bad to see how he progresses.Replied By Michael (Ny, Usa) on 06/19/2013
I'm about to start this for my father, 79. And myself, 52. Might not be alzheimers or dementia, but he has severe memory issus and mine is getting bad. Must be genetic but I'll be dammed if I let the Monsanto madness take me out like that. Thanks for this thread and best of luck with your efforts.Replied By Rowena Capacite (Philippines) on 06/28/2015
I want to know the exact amount of coconut oil to be given to the patient with Alzheimers. Thank youReplied By Wendy (Columbus, Oh) on 06/29/2015
Use, Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO), preferably organic. You can start with a teaspoon twice a day, and after a week increase to a tablespoon 2-3 times a day. NOTE: too much VCO may create a mild case of diarrhea.
It's easier to take if you melt the VCO first. Simply place the entire container of VCO in a pan of hot water. VCO becomes liquid at 76 degrees. Then you can easily measure out a teaspoon or tablespoon.

Hi Sherry, I see everyone asking for an update, I am not that person. But I can tell you what she said does work. My mother suffered with Alzheimer's also. I was very sad when she started not knowing who I was. It hurt a lot. So, I went on a tangent and searched for answers on my computer. I found the same information and started my mother on the coconut oil. It worked, but not without side effects. When I put her on the oil she didn't want to eat. When I took her off the oil, she would eat but would lose her memory. I had to go back and forth. Like 3 days off and 3 days on. I tried to explain to my mother it was the oil trying to tell her she is full when she's not full. But I couldn't get through to her. She passed the memory test 100 percent, and the doctor was shocked. She even answered questions I couldn't at 94 years old. So, the oil does work just to let everyone know. At least for my mother it worked.
