My grandma has signs of alzheimers and I wanted to know since she has it, if I am more likely to get it because of it running in the family.

non-hydrogenated coconut oil for brain energy and help with alzheimers?

euphoric asked:


Or like extra virgin non-hydrogenated coconut oil..
I read this thing about how the oil has a high MTC oil and provides the brain with ketone bodies or something like that.

Is there other foods or oils that provide that too?

Another thing, how exactly does it work?
If you take more of the oil, will your brain have more energy? Or is there a threshold to the amount that the brain will use?

Any good info is appreciated.
And I will be choosing best answer so please answer!

What are the most accurate test in diagnosing Dementia/Alzheimers?

Cindy H asked:


My mother is 72 and has shown signs for about 4 years but she is under no treatment for the disease. I would like to know if there are tests that can be performed to tell us what is going on in her brain. She seems to understand what is said to her most of the time and seems very aware of her condition. She is frustrated and can’t seem to say what she wants. My father and I are not satisfied and want to know what we can do to help her. There are too many articles and reports on new treatments but we don’t really know where to start. My mother is a retired RN and we know in our hearts that there are things that we can do to help her live a normal life. She is very aware of her condition but is unable to tell us certain things because of her confusion and difficulty saying what she wants to say. The thought is there but the words are not.
