Is There A Natural Cure For Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia, And Memory Loss?
December 13, 2010 No CommentsBy Tarja Anchor, Holistic Health Practitioner and a Health Coach.
Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, memory loss, and other neurodegenerative conditions are increasing at alarming rate in western cultures. A lot of studies are being done to find aids to these conditions. Many expensive pharmaceutical products have been developed, yet no cure has been found according to main stream medicine.
Dementia, memory loss, and Alzheimer’s disease sufferers are not the only people suffering when the dis-ease strikes. The whole family will be affected by the changes in patient’s personality, mood, and behavior. Dementia, memory loss, and Alzheimer’s disease are progressive, and claimed to be mainly irreversible.
Natural Cure For Alzheimer’s Disease
Natural products have been studied by individual researchers. Great discoveries will rarely get funding or published when there is a natural substance studied. If you cannot get a patent, monopolize, and “cash in” the market, natural product as a cure will not be subject of interest for pharmaceutical companies. Furthermore, for legal reasons you cannot claim any natural substance to prevent, cure, treat, or diagnose any actual, or made up disease.
Insulin Resistance And Ketoacids/Ketone Bodies
Insulin resistance may lead to a situation of brain cells losing their ability to concert glucose to energy, and begin to starve. Ketoacids, or ketone bodies, are produced by the liver from medium chain fats in the diet. Medium chain triglycerides take their own route directly to the liver, and are not digested the same way as long chain fats. Cells can use ketone bodies as a fuel when no glucose is available. This may explain the reversal of many Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and memory loss patients’ symptoms. Ketone bodies can also serve as a source of energy for insulin resistant cells elsewhere in the body. Diabetics are known to have highly elevated risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and memory loss.
Low Carbohydrate Diet And Ketoacidosis
Fasting and some carbohydrate restricted diets can produce a condition called ketoacidosis in the body. In ketoacidosis the body is converting fats to energy instead of converting carbohydrates to glucose. It would make sense to treat people suffering from neurodegenerative diseases with extremely low carbohydrate diets, but ketoacids produced this way will not end up in the blood stream. Instead they will be e excreted in urine.
Considerations
Consider switching to natural virgin coconut oil from hydrogenated oils. According to Dr. Mary Newport, there is a widely spread misconception of natural virgin coconut oi being somehow harmful to your health, and clogging your arteries. In fact, it has been shown over and over, that natural virgin coconut oil can help to lower cholesterol, protect from many disease producing micro organisms, provide fuel for starving cells, and enhance your health and beauty in many ways. There are excellent food sources for medium chain triglycerides; natural virgin coconut oi, palm kernel oil, and for babies, it is breast milk. Choose non-hydrogenated oil that doesn’t have any trans fat.
Other Neurodegenerative Diseases
According to a case study by Dr. Mary Newport, coconut oil with medium chain triglycerides (MCT oil) is a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, like Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease). Furthermore, patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, autism, Down’s syndrome, drug resistant epilepsy, brittle type I diabetes, and diabetes type II with insulin resistance, may benefit greatly from daily dose of virgin coconut oil.

Virgin Coconut Oil is an extremely versatile and wonderfully delicious tasting oil. Good quality coconut oil is one of the most stable cooking oils, plus it’s highly resistant to rancidity. There are many ways to incorporate coconut oil into your diet. It could be used anywhere you currently use any of the “seed” oils (soybean, corn, canola, safflower, sesame se
ed, sunflower seed); used as a butter for spreads, over popcorn, or for baking; used in soups or ‘smoothies’; eaten right off the spoon; eaten as a “candy” or “white chocolate” when refrigerated or frozen; put in coffee or tea; mixed with peanut butter; etc. Good quality coconut oil is also mild on the skin, and used in many areas around the world to both nourish and protect the skin and hair from, among other things, the harsh effect of the sun.Coconut oil has natural anti-oxidants and acts as an anti-oxidant itself. Also, coconut oil is rich in medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which have natural anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Coconut oil contains Monolaurin, which is the same anti-microbial agent found in human mother’s milk. Plus, Caprylic and Capric acids (medium chains), which are relatively and uniquely high in coconut oil, diminish the nutritional requirements for essential fatty acids (EFAs).
Our coconut oil is made using a process called the Fresh Centrifuge Process. Fresh-Centrifuge Process is the emerging process benchmark for VCO extraction from fresh coconut meat that prevents contamination, alteration and deterioration of the oil, and retaining its freshness. The VCO produced is practically the same as it exists in fresh coconut meat - fresh smell and taste, no fermentation acid contamination, no peroxide contamination, no aflatoxin, no diminution of the heat-sensitive vitamin E, un-altered fatty acid profile, and high laurin content.
It is a holistic process that starts at coconut growing where and natural farm productivity improvement methods are implemented, and age of coconut fruits are monitored to get the optimum age for harvest (Note: underage and overage nuts contain lesser laurin oil). It employs an innovative process of extracting the oil at fresh conditions using purely physical method of centrifugation or high-speed spinning, through a specifically-fitted high-speed low-turbulence centrifuge, without use of heating, fermentation and freezing methods of extractions. The final oil is packed in bottles and containers that undergo 100% preventive sanitation and disinfection, and sealed with slight vacuum to maintain freshness throughout shelf life.
